Summary:
This work intends to be a critical assessment of world architecture in our global times: both a 'state of the art' and a 'state of the planet', centered on the period opened by the Fall of the Berlin Wall. After an introduction on Spain as a laboratory of global architecture, ten long chapters written by prominent experts explore the different regions of the world. Each section is rounded off with sentative works of the area in question, completed between 1990 and 2007, that is, circa 2000. The regions mapped follow the civilizations identified by Huntington. However, this distribution does not demand acknowledging that religious and cultural fault lines are more important that the homogeneity brought about by globalization, with the spread of sprawl and spectacle as the two main traits of the contemporary architectural and urban landscape.

Summary:
Harrie Thomas Lindeberg (1879-1959) was one of America's most prominent 20th century domestic architects. He designed refined country houses throughout the United States for an elite clientele, and his name became synonymous with the rich man's country estate. Royal Cortissoz, in his introduction, cited Lindeberg's distinctive artistic personality as a key to his success and put him on a par with Charles McKim, Charles Platt, Henry Bacon, Stanford White, and John Russell Pope. Lindeberg was one of a large group of American architects who trained in the offices of McKim, Mead and White. Born in New Jersey, he served as an assistant to Stanford White on prestigious domestic commissions prior to White's death in 1906. Shortly thereafter he formed a partnership with his colleague Lewis Colt Albro and quickly became a sought-after designer of rustic country houses for the elite of American society. His style was urbane, refined and elegant, yet was always touched with a hint of idiosyncratic wit, much like that of his English contemporary Edwin Lutyens. His 1940 monograph is a rare and beautiful example of the folio retrospectives that chronicled the careers of leading domestic architects of the early 20th century. Virtually all of his major commissions are represented in large-format photographs and plans.

Summary:
This book consists of two parts. Within each chapter, the left-hand page shows the work of an artist and the right-hand page that of an architect. This device of presenting the work in pairs has been contrived to emphasize the remarkable degree of correspondence between art and architecture and to highlight the common conceptual and physical qualities of the projects. Throughout, designers, landscape architects and lighting engineers are included in the architectural category, as their working structures, contractually defined to provide a quantifiable design service to the client, are alike. The works are assembled according to their design concept and arranged in eight sections, which identify the most important characteristics of each project. 'Barometer' focuses on the connection of the work to its natural environment, and 'Passage' investigates the relationship of space perception to physical movement. 'Reflection' looks at the suggestive power of the double image, and 'Light' compiles examples of the material quality of luminous matter. The manipulation of our habitual point of view is the subject of the chapter called 'Observation', while 'Excavation', as the title suggests, deals with the exploration of negative space. The 'Sound' chapter reviews the pervasive presence of resonant structures, and 'Memory' is dedicated to the physicality of our recollections.

· L'Atlas Phaidon de l'architecture contemporaine mondiale est un ouvrage de référence qui dresse un panorama des ouvrages architecturaux les plus remarquables réalisés à travers le monde depuis 1998. Cet ouvrage sans précédent présente 1052 bâtiments à travers 75 pays qui témoignent de manière unique de l'étonnante diversité de l'architecture en ce début du XXIe siècle. Chaque édifice a été choisi pour ses caractéristiques innovantes, qu'elles soient esthétiques, fonctionnelles ou techniques. Les réalisations d'architectes de renommée internationale côtoient dès lors celles d'architectes de la nouvelle génération ou à ce jour inconnus en dehors de leur pays. Organisé géographiquement en six régions, l'Atlas Phaidon inclut tous les types de constructions depuis les résidences privées de petite taille, les chapelles, les établissements vinicoles ou les ateliers d'artistes jusqu'aux immenses stades, aéroports, gratte-ciel, salles de concert et usines. Chaque édifice, localisé géographiquement à l'aide de cartes spécialement réalisées pour cet ouvrage, est présenté à travers des photographies, plans, élévations et coupes permettant de comprendre les grands principes de sa conception. Les textes rappellent le contexte dans lequel le bâtiment a été construit, tout en expliquant les caractéristiques qui le définissent. Ils fournissent ainsi une source d'informations essentielle pour les professionnels. Chaque projet a été sélectionné parmi une vaste liste proposée par un comité constitué de diverses figures du monde de l'architecture, universitaires, critiques, conservateurs, journalistes et praticiens. Une section informative intitulée " Données mondiales " détaille le nombre d'architectes, d'écoles et d'étudiants en architecture pour chaque pays, et un système de références croisées répertorie les édifices réalisés par chaque architecte dans toutes les régions du monde. Un système d'index complet permet au lecteur de trouver l'information qu'il recherche à travers différentes rubriques : type d'édifice, nom de l'édifice, architecte et lieu. Cet ouvrage célèbre l'architecture contemporaine et constitue un outil de référence indispensable pour les bibliothèques spécialisées en architecture à travers le monde. Agréable à lire, il fournit une source d'inspiration inépuisable pour ceux qui s'intéressent à l'environnement construit de notre époque et à son devenir.
