Summary:
The Magic Box, carried out by Dominique Perrault Architecture, is more than a public sports facility. It is a whole conceptual, urbanistic and constructive manifesto through the insertion of a radically contemporary building in a sensitive environment, which has helped to regenerate the southern edge of the city of Madrid and to round off the urban banks of the Manzanares River. The book includes unpublished texts by Andreas Ruby (a didactic essay) and Hans Ulrich Ibrist (an exclusive interview). It also includes a technical dossier dedicated to the construction of the building highly illustrated with plans (mostly unpublished) and a graphic documentation that breaks down the details of the construction, difficulties, successes and context of the assignment. In addition, this monograph also provides information on the competitive submissions, and further texts that explain the concept behind the Magic Box and the reason for its success.

Summary:
Paul Rudolph (1918–1997) authored some of Modernism's most powerful designs and served as an influential educator while chair of Yale's School of Architecture. His early residential work in Sarasota, Florida, garnered international attention, and his later exploration of Brutalist materials and forms, most famously embodied in his Yale Art & Architecture Building (1963), earned Rudolph both notoriety and acclaim. Many of the dynamic drawings included in this collection — selected from the architect's archive housed in the Library of Congress — illustrate his highly emotive hand and deft drafting skill. They include his designs for Tuskegee University Chapel, Interama, Lower Manhattan Expressway, his analysis of Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, and his own inventive penthouse on Beekman Place in New York City. A Rudolph interview, conducted in 1986, and a newly commissioned introductory essay provide context for the drawings.

Prepared in close collaboration with the Horta Museum, Brussels, Victor Horta: The Architect of Art Nouveau discusses the many influences on Horta’s designs and his legacy. The richly ornamental style of Art Nouveau, characterized by fluid lines based on natural forms, expressed a desire to abandon the historical styles of the nineteenth century and to develop a language that was beautifully crafted and thoroughly contemporary, laying the foundations for the development of modernism in architecture and interior design.

Summary:
"Trees, Time, Architecture!" marks an evolutionary step from shaping objects towards designing processes. The volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and discourse-related perspectives looks at how trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene. It highlights historic examples of growing architecture, such as the living root bridges of the Khasi people in India, the accommodation of trees in urban housing and public spaces, novel approaches to design and construction with living trees, as well as trees as a resource for building material.

À la fin de sa vie, Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992) conçoit un projet destiné à être présenté lors de l'Exposition universelle de Séville de 1992. Il ne sera jamais réalisé, mais rend compte de plusieurs des préoccupations de cette architecte et intellectuelle, qui vécut entre l'Italie et le Brésil, notamment sa vigilance à l'égard de l’ascendance des valeurs occidentales sur le reste du monde et sa conviction que les identités culturelles sont ancrées dans les manifestations quotidiennes. Pour elle, l’architecture ne se réduit pas à un effet formel, elle implique la vie, la pensée critique et l’action collective. Cet ouvrage nous permet de comprendre le dialogue, à la fois critique et fécond, que Lina Bo Bardi noue avec la culture du xxe siècle. Son héritage créatif et visionnaire reste d’actualité dans un monde où les valeurs et pratiques humanistes sont en jeu.

For her new book, she traveled to Bangladesh with Iwan Baan to visit the buildings created there as well as her women's empowerment project, Dipdii Textiles. Dutch photographer Iwan Baan is best known for his images that show life and interactions in architecture. In Bangladesh, he created intense and sensual images that, between documentation and art, bear witness to what architecture can achieve when it is not about representation but about social benefit.

Summary:
A compendium of lectures from the international architecture conference in 2005, Architecture + Art: New Visions, New Strategies looks at the fertile overlap between two competing (and complementary) disciplines. Published by the Alvar Aalto Academy, the essays explore the history of the border between art and architecture, from Aalto to Gordon Matta-Clark. What role did art play in the history of modern architecture? How did architecture influence art? What’s the current state of the balance between the two fields? Illustrated with color photographs and black and white reproductions, with a foreward by Aalto Academy Professor Eeva-Lisa Pelkonen, the thought-provoking essays strive to illuminate the mystery of overlap, from Le Corbusier to Donald Judd. In a world where Frank Gehry claims architecture is art against Richard Serra’s wishes, it’s refreshing to learn there’s more than one viewpoint at the table. The most recent publication from the Academy’s forward-thinking conferences held every summer in Finland.
