Summary:
Les grandes corporations de la mode (Hermès, Prada, Dior, Tod's, Vuitton...) ont récemment commencé à utiliser l'architecture comme instrument pour diffuser leurs principes et capter l'attention des clients potentiels. Ce phénomène engendre un mouvement architectural conduit par les plus fameux architectes internationaux, quand il y a quelques années, le monde de la mode se limitait à de rares incursions dans le domaine de la décoration intérieure. Les projets sélectionnés ici, représentant une nouvelle génération de constructions auxquelles nous devons porter une attention toute particulière puisque caractéristiques et déterminantes d'une nouvelle architecture corporative. La structure du livre, qui regroupe, après la présentation de chaque grande marque, les bâtiments produits, permet de comprendre les principes philosophiques de chaque firme et son évolution dans le domaine de l'architecture. Nous analyserons les rapports volumétriques de chaque édifice et leur langage formel, autant de points déterminants à leur statut d'objets médiatiques, mais aussi les détails constructifs qui nous renvoient aux nouvelles technologies appliquées à leurs mises en œuvre.

Summary:
Peu d'institutions ont utilisé l'architecture pour promouvoir leur identité corporative autant que les banques. Aujourd'hui, les établissements bancaires suivent le rythme de la modernisation technologique et continuent à employer l'architecture comme outil indispensable à la transmission de leur message. Un discours qui a troqué des idées fondées sur la solidité et l'hermétisme pour un concept de service et de flexibilité, plus proche de l'usager et de ses exigences propres. Ce volume de la collection Architecture Corporative se concentre sur le secteur bancaire pour refléter comment ces entités ont recours à l'architecture pour se positionner sur le marché, et quelles demandes sont à considérer au moment de créer et de consolider leur propre image de marque, qu'il s'agisse des grandes comme des petites entreprises. Les critères de sélection ont servi particulièrement à mettre en évidence ces nouvelles typologies et à rechercher les différentes stratégies qu'elles ont mises en œuvre pour se matérialiser à travers l'objet architectural.

Summary:
How does media architecture distribute suspicion and trust? What is a collage of media architecture? How is media architecture vectored? How can media architecture address privilege? These questions and conceptual provocations aim to challenge the binary of techno-optimism and technological agoraphobia, offering a platform for developing new, critically and contextually rooted theories that media architecture might grab hold of. Intentionally open-ended, ''Provocations on Media Architecture'' brings together 21 thought leaders across architecture, visual arts, design, curation, academia and public policy to address these ideas and themes. Authors respond with images and brief texts incorporating the perspective of their own creative and scholarly practice. Entries range from descriptions of relevant artworks and design projects to reflections spawned from first-person encounters with media architecture in situ, scholarly analyses and AI-assisted theory.

Yet coverage of the architecture of twentieth-century Brazil is all too often confined to the work of one man (Oscar Niemeyer) or the buildings of two cities (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo).

Summary:
In a follow-up to thel monograph "Design for kids" (Images Publishing, 2007), here Sharon Exley and Peter Exley go about expanding on the key philosophies behind their unique practice. Namely, that play is an invitation to "Architecture is fun." Through architecture, play can be manifest, challenged, and celebrated. Finding out who will play (and live, work, and learn) in our buildings is an intriguing challenge. The firm likes to discover the architectural catalysts that will give character to a building. Often this involves the universal language of Play. Play fits all bodies. Play is accessible. Play inspires innovation. Play puts us in the present. Play engages us. Play is memorable. Play connects us to others and to the world. This illustrated book offers a glimpse into the firm's interdisciplinary and participatory processes and how it believes that architecture and play are transformative.
