Si on comprend aisément que les concepteurs de formes et d’espaces aient quotidiennement recours aux figures de l’analogie pour imaginer leurs projets, on sait moins que de nombreuses théories et doctrines de l’architecture lui sont tout autant redevables. Sorte de secret mal gardé, l’analogie serait de fait une des grandes matrices de l’architecture. Examinant(...)

Sorte de secret mal gardé, l’analogie serait de fait une des grandes matrices de l’architecture. Examinant rigoureusement la portée pratique et théorique de cette hypothèse, les études d’histoire critique rassemblées dans ce premier ouvrage se consacrent à trois registres de la modernité qui éclairent l’architecture contemporaine : les conceptions de la vie et de la biologie (des images du corps aux principes de la génétique),les conceptions de la ville (en reconstituant les contours et les enjeux de ce que l’architecte Aldo Rossi appelait une « ville analogue »), et les conceptions mêmes de la conception (dont les modèles analogiques permettent de rendre compte des circonvolutions de l’imagination et de la réflexion architecturale).

Summary:
Because United Colors of Benetton’s core business is clothing, the contemporary culture of design plays an important role in the group’s activity, including its corporate architecture. Benetton’s international brand style - combining colour, energy, and practicality - can be seen first in its buildings. In 1964, long before it was fashionable for designers to employ brand-name architects, Lucianno Benetton chose two very young and ambitious architects, Afra and Tobia Scarpa, to design his first textile factory. This project marked the beginning of a vision of architecture aimed at enhancing the workplace: an architecture where image and substance come together. This unique book, brilliantly designed by Massimo Vignelli, brings together all of the Benetton buildings, including plans, 500 colour illustrations, superb photographs by Antonia Mulas, an interview with Luciano Benetton, and a chapter dedicated to Tadao Ando’s Fabrica building. With text in English, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese.

While this book was created to introduce the concept of steel honeycomb tubes, in this introductory chapter we present honeycomb tube structures that feature precast prestressed concrete (PC honeycomb tubes) dubbed as 'HTA' (Honeycomb Tube Architecture), which served as precedent. In addition to a summary of Honeycomb Tube Architecture, a book published in December 2006 to exhibit concepts of PC honeycomb tubes, here, we present the results of tests on a 1/3 scale mock-up of the structural system that were conducted in April 2007 along with actual works of architecture being planned for execution.

From a Japanese-inspired home observatory, to a quiet, contemplative memorial garden, to a modern, cantilevered pedestrian bridge, each of the pops in the book allows the reader to engage with Joseph’s work in a new way. The pops themselves are minimally illustrated in solid-colored or lightly patterned paper to suggest the materials used in the construction — aluminum, cedar, terrazzo, steel — while photographs serve as the background design and provide additional views of the structure. Accompanying each pop is a text offering a brief discussion of the inspiration behind the work and some of the challenges Joseph and her team faced during the development and construction phases.

Summary:
How can the different strands of modern architecture in Britain be understood? For many British people, it remains an alien cultural import and minority taste, yet British architecture has never stood higher in world esteem than at the close of the twentieth century. In this book Alan Powers shows how beneath today’s achievements in architecture, past conflicts have not been resolved, as the country that invented industrial civilization has struggled to control its effect on cities and countryside. He examines developments and changes from 1900 to the present day in a series of thematic chapters, giving equal weight to technical, economic and moral aspects and demonstrating how architecture has responded to specific social needs and political pressures. Rather than giving a conventional account of stylistic tendencies, Powers listens to the arguments and conversations of the time in order to recapture the dominating issues of each decade, and locate the moments of transition in architecture and in the wider culture. Featuring more than 220 images, including both recent and historical photographs, "Britain" is an authoritative yet highly accessible account of twentieth-century British architecture. Giving due regard to the separate identities of England, Scotland and Wales, the book also adds a new and original dimension to the perennial problem of defining ‘Britain’ in the modern world.
