Summary:
Issues d'un colloque organisé en 2017, ces contributions, complétées d'articles, questionnent l'oeuvre de J.-F. Blondel (1705-1774), la portée de son enseignement unique et les mystères qui entourent sa vie privée, notamment à propos de sa formation. Si l'architecte a beaucoup écrit sur sa discipline, il s'est, en revanche, peu livré.

Summary:
This publication explores the influence of Heidegger's concept of dwelling in disputing major imperatives of modern architecture. It is a book on both the history of architecture and the history of ideas. Focused on the substential differences of the philosopher's first-person approach to Le Corbusier's positivism, it goes on to draw on the views of the "other modern".(...)

Summary:
This publication explores the influence of Heidegger's concept of dwelling in disputing major imperatives of modern architecture. It is a book on both the history of architecture and the history of ideas. Focused on the substential differences of the philosopher's first-person approach to Le Corbusier's positivism, it goes on to draw on the views of the "other modern". Of Heidegger's ideas, it pinpoints those that appealed to architects who questioned the post-war modern architecture's record, and demonstrate the scope of appropriation of his theory on dwelling; an appropriation, nevertheless, subject to limitations - for better or worse. Last but not least, it traces Heiddegger's thoughts into the current debate on architecture generated by modern-day architects and thinkers such as Aaron Betsky and Rem Koolhaas.

Summary:
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture was established by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1977 to identify and encourage excellence in architecture and other forms of intervention in the built environment of societies where Muslims have a significant presence. The Award is given every three years and recognises all types of building projects that affect today’s built environment. The book presents the shortlist of 19 projects including the winners. What these projects in their variety across culturally diverse portions of the globe have in common is a commitment to design excellence despite constraints of budget, resources, climate, technology, and politics. They share this commitment as one of the necessary tools for societal betterment. The following five projects received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2010 : Wadi Hanifa Wetlands, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Revitalisation of the Hypercentre of Tunis, Tunisia; Madinat Al-Zahra Museum, Cordoba, Spain; Ipekyol Textile Factory, Edirne, Turkey; Bridge School, Xiashi, Fujian, China.

Fidèles à leurs engagements, les membres de la French Touch sont allés à la rencontre de chaque concepteur dans leurs lieux de travail afin de mieux rendre compte de la particularité des différents processus de fabrication, de la mémoire des projets et, d’une manière plus générale, de leur production. Pas d’images, pas de perspectives, juste des dessins à grandes échelles qui témoignent que l’architecture est aussi un savoir spécifique fait de pensée conceptuelle et de maîtrise constructive.

Summary:
Combining formal argument with informal conversations and design proposals, this title offers creative ideas for "thinking and acting architecture differently." What makes the book unique is the freshness of its voices — young architects and emerging practitioners who for the most part have not published before. Interwoven with their proposals are conversations among these new voices and more established authors and practitioners, including Sanford Kwinter, Sylvia Lavin, K. Michael Hays, Philippe Rahm, Liam Gillick, Teddy Cruz, and Michael Meredith. This publication investigates the inner contradictions tangling and obscuring architectural discourse. It locates architecture in a cultural, social, political, and situational landscape — the space it actually occupies in the contemporary world. Examining architecture as it comes into contact with other disciplines — including art, art history, cultural studies, curating, landscape architecture, neuroaesthetics, pedagogy, philosophy, political science, and urbanism — the book considers architecture's precarious position at the edge : at the edge of its own dilemmas and at the edge of "everything else." In different ways, all the contributors suggest how to understand the innovative possibilities and pitfalls of spatial practices—teasing, analyzing, and celebrating architecture's disciplinary ambiguity — with proposals that range from a "lo-res" architecture to one controlled by the curatorial impulse, from customizable "skins" on residential buildings to the collection of residual space for new uses. Their investigations encompass how to interpret, how to intervene, and how to imagine.

Summary:
Hovestadt's Institute for Computer-Aided Architectural Design at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich) is widely regarded as one of the world's most important institutes currently working at the interface between architecture and information technology. As a universal tool, the computer encourages one to think in terms of information structures and systems that span individual fields. This "rethinking" of the nature of architecture is leading to a paradigm shift at the methodological level of design, planning, construction, and economy. After a decade of experimentation, it has now become possible to see information technology for architecture as the basis for a new and energy-saving practical approach to building.
