The school’s seven years in this industrial city between the Elbe and Mulde Rivers were particularly productive for its designers and architects, who created a unique ensemble of modern architecture that attracts visitors from all over the world to Dessau to this day. Many of the Bauhaus buildings in Dessau are now regarded as key works of European Modernism and some have even become UNESCO World Heritage Sites. They express the revolutionary aim of the historical Bauhaus to bring about fundamental change in society through design and architecture.

Summary:
En contrepoint de l'abondante littérature existante qui porte sur ce que l'écologie fait à l’architecture, le présent ouvrage renverse la perspective et ouvre un débat. Les auteurs rassemblés au sein de l’ouvrage, chercheurs et praticiens, s'interrogent en effet sur les multiples manières qu’ont les acteurs de l'aménagement des espaces construits — architectes, paysagistes, ingénieurs, etc. — de façonner les attentes de la société en matière de lutte contre le dérèglement climatique, l’épuisement des ressources et l’effondrement de la biodiversité. Ce que l’architecture fait à l’écologie montre que leurs pratiques et discours déterminent les conditions de production du cadre bâti autant qu’ils sont déterminés par celles-ci. Dans cet ouvrage, l’architecture est ainsi considérée comme l’un des laboratoires où s’inventent la technique, l’esthétique et plus encore l’éthique qui peut orienter et guider l’action collective dans le monde qui vient.

Summary:
Iran has one of the oldest town cultures in the world, going back more than 4000 years. Between the Islamic conquest in the seventh century and Westernisation in the second half of the nineteenth century, the cities and towns in today’s Islamic Republic of Iran underwent repeated changes. Persian building culture influenced architects and artists as far as Central Asia in the north and India in the east. Unlike any other country in the region, Iran shows a unique urban and architectonic development whose defining characteristics merged with other cultures over time, representing an important contribution to world architecture. In this architectural guide, author and architect Thomas Meyer-Wieser embarks on a journey into history, showcasing nearly 300 buildings and other projects in Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz. His focus is on the Iranian-Islamic architectural identity, which has held its own since the rise of the Safavids in 1501.

Summary:
Devenu République soviétique socialiste en 1936, le Kirghizistan entendait inventer pour sa capitale une architecture monumentale spécifique qui exprime son ralliement à l’utopie d’espérance de la grande famille communiste. Il faut toutefois attendre l’après-guerre pour voir surgir les premiers grands équipements staliniens (opéra, palais des Pionniers) dans un style emphatique d’inspiration classique avec, ici et là, des citations de la culture kirghize. La période 1960-1980 voit se multiplier les édifices emblématiques de la capitale (stade, bibliothèque, gare routière, palais des mariages…), chacun des dirigeants soviétiques successifs voulant imprimer leur marque dans l’architecture. Les réalisations présentées dans ce livre témoignent d’une audace et d’un souffle certes souvent déclamatoire et hyperbolique, qui ne cessent d’étonner par leur puissance expressionniste.

Summary:
This book challenges traditional assumptions about the relationship between art and architecture. From 2008 through 2010, David Adjaye, along with Marc McQuade, taught three studios at the Princeton School of Architecture. Each studio focused on a collaboration with three distinguished artists Matthew Ritchie, Teresita Fernandez, and Jorge Pardo on interventions in three vastly different sites: the state of New Jersey, the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, and the city of Merida in Mexicos Yucatan Peninsula. Through an exploratory process of questioning, developing, and testing, each architect and artist reexamines the expectations traditionally associated with the conventions of architectural design and representation.
