Summary:
In ''On Bramante,'' architect Pier Paolo Tamburelli considers the work of the celebrated Italian Renaissance architect Donato Bramante and through this reappraisal suggests a possible agenda for current architectural practice.

Summary:
In ''On Bramante,'' architect Pier Paolo Tamburelli considers the work of the celebrated Italian Renaissance architect Donato Bramante and through this reappraisal suggests a possible agenda for current architectural practice. Bramante, Tamburelli argues, offers an excellent starting point to imagine a contemporary theory of space, to reflect on the relationship between architecture and politics, and to look back—with neither nostalgia nor contempt—at the tradition of Western classicism. Starting from a discussion of the difference in the work of Bramante in Milan (1481–1499) and Rome (1499–1514), Tamburelli highlights the peculiarities of Bramante’s architecture, especially in comparison to that of his predecessor Leon Battista Alberti and successor Andrea Palladio. This in turn opens up new possibilities for appreciating his spatial experiments, and to derive from Bramante’s abstraction and disassociation of form from function a revised theory of space for contemporary architecture. Such a theory might even advance a newfound political understanding of classicism, and a model—perhaps more valid now than ever before—for a public architecture.

Dès 1965, l'Institut universitaire d'architecture de Venise devient le centre d'un nouveau courant critique animé par Carlo Aymonino et Aldo Rossi qui, sous l'influence du mouvement structuraliste, revendique une approche linguistique de l'histoire de l'architecture, à travers les concepts de typologie architecturale et de morphologie urbaine.

Summary:
Dès 1965, l'Institut universitaire d'architecture de Venise devient le centre d'un nouveau courant critique animé par Carlo Aymonino et Aldo Rossi qui, sous l'influence du mouvement structuraliste, revendique une approche linguistique de l'histoire de l'architecture, à travers les concepts de typologie architecturale et de morphologie urbaine. En 1973, l'exposition "Architettura razionale", à la Triennale de Milan, formalise ce retour vers l'histoire qui, loin de l'abstraction du modernisme et de toute idée d'avant-garde, s'imposera comme une simple tendance, la Tendenza. Première publication sur ce courant spécifiquement italien, le catalogue illustre l'intense recherche graphique d'architectes (Carlo Aymonino, Aldo Rossi, Paolo Portoghesi, Franco Purini, Gianni Braghieri, le GRAU, Dario Passi, entre autres) cherchant à redéfinir la logique du projet architectural. Dirigé par Frédéric Migayrou et enrichi des recherches d'une nouvelle génération d'historiens, cet ouvrage s'interroge sur l'historicisation d'un mouvement dont l'apogée, marqué par la réalisation du Teatro del Monda (1979) par Aldo Rossi puis l'exposition "La Strada Novissima" (1980) organisée à Venise, contribua à la fortune critique mondiale d'un nouveau concept, le postmodernisme.

Summary:
A city of immense literary mystique, Prague has inspired writers across the centuries with its beauty, cosmopolitanism, and tragic history. Envisioning the ancient city in central Europe as a multilayered text, or palimpsest, that has been constantly revised and rewritten — from the medieval and Renaissance chroniclers who legitimized the city’s foundational origins to the modernists of the early twentieth century who established its reputation as the new capital of the avant-garde — Alfred Thomas argues that Prague has become a paradoxical site of inscription and effacement, of memory and forgetting, a utopian link to the prewar and pre-Holocaust European past and a dystopia of totalitarian amnesia. Considering a wide range of writers, including the city’s most famous son, Franz Kafka, Prague Palimpsest reassesses the work of poets and novelists such as Bohumil Hrabal, Milan Kundera, Gustav Meyrink, Jan Neruda, Vítzslav Nezval, and Rainer Maria Rilke and engages with other famous authors who “wrote” Prague, including Guillaume Apollinaire, Ingeborg Bachmann, Albert Camus, Paul Celan, and W. G. Sebald. The result is a comparative, interdisciplinary study that helps to explain why Prague—more than any other major European city—has haunted the cultural and political imagination of the West.

Summary:
Et si la perspective moderne n'existait pas? Ne faut-il nuancer la thèse massivement admise qu'au Quattrocento, un dispositif unitaire de représentation se mettrait en place dans la peinture, dont la fonction demeurerait inchangée jusqu'à l'âge classique? En relisant les textes d'Alberti, de Piero della Francesca, de Léonard de Vinci et d'Albert Dürer, en regardant autrement les peintures de la Renaissance, des fresques d'Azzero ou dela Cène de Milan, ce livre met en effet en évidence des dispositifs singuliers, liés pour chaque peintre à des régimes différents de la représentation, du visible, de la vision et du regard. Pourtant, au XVIIe siècle, le discours sur la perspective est soudain convoqué par la philosophie, pour éclairer le nouveau partage entre la représentation du sujet pensant et une matière désormais géométrisable. À quelles conditions, improbables et contingentes, la perspective a-t-elle pu tenir cette place à la fois décisive et ambiguë dans l'émergence de l'âme classique? Par quelles transformations, de la surface de la peinture et de laplace du spectateur, a-t-elle dû passer pour rendre possible la clôture de l'image sur la représentation classique? À l'histoire d'une forme symbolique, ce livre substitue le récit désormais éclaté d'une archéologie ou d'une généalogie de la modernité.

Son projet le plus connu, la colonne d'hospitalité, Quand Jim monte à Paris, témoigne de son intérêt pour les nouvelles typologies et de son désir de créer des propositions ouvertes basées sur des notions simples telles que l'hospitalité, la générosité, l'empathie, la flexibilité. Mtali intervient dans des domaines aussi variés que le design industriel, le mobilier, le graphisme, la scénographie, l'architecture intérieure. En 2003 elle réalise un projet global, HI, un hôtel de ville à Nice, qui propose une expérience du contemporain et Le Pigeonnier Capsule, sa première micro-architecture. Le mu. dac de Lausanne a présenté à l'automne 2002, Un pas de côté 1991/2002, la première rétrospective sur son travail.

This unique presentation of Ando’s work is the result of what turned into a nine-year project to photograph 130 buildings. Walking around each structure, trying to find the proper framing, helped Se´clier understand Ando’s genius for siting and composition. Loosely organized by chronology, each building is represented in numerous black and white images, arranged like a mosaic on the page. These fragmented views correspond to Ando’s own philosophy of the logic of structure and geometry. This "atlas" embraces not only the geographic but also thematic range of Ando’s oeuvre—from transit stations in Tokyo and Kobe to art museums in Fort Worth, Texas and Provence, France; from an artists’ retreat on the Mexican coast to the now-demolished Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester, England; from a theater in Milan, Italy, to an upscale restaurant in New York City. Se´clier’s photographs of Ando’s numerous religious structures brilliantly illustrate his use of light and shadow to evoke spiritual depth and timelessness while his short texts offer concise observations of each building. A helpful appendix pinpoints the geographic diversity and range of Ando’s oeuvre.

Summary:
Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo exhibited at the Venice Biennial in 2004 and 2008, and was honored by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 2012. That same year she won a gold medal for her life’s work at the Milan Triennial, and has been nominated twice for the Mies van der Rohe Prize. Nevertheless, she’s still considered an insider’s tip. She lives in Vittoria, a small city in southern Sicily, where she realizes the majority of her architecture, including many transformations of historical buildings, single and multiple-family housing, or projects such as the control tower in Marina di Ragusa. Grasso Cannizzo’s special design methods are based on her analyses of the urban context and the landscape, as well as her examination of the specific “story” behind each project. She translates the knowledge gained into minimal, self-aware, and sometimes radical concepts, which are ultimately always open to any changes that life and the passage of time may bring. At the same time, this first comprehensive monograph is also a conceptual manifesto by Grasso Cannizzo. Collected in a black box, loose prints provide insight into her most important buildings and make it possible to see the architect’s general design methods.
