Summary:
Michael Kenna is regarded as one of the most accomplished photographers working today. This book charts Kenna’s work in the field of architectural photography, showing how his approach to the built environment informs his style, whether he’s capturing natural or human-made structures. The book creates dialogs between images to show how Kenna applies light, shadow, composition, and perspective to similar effect in different settings. Yvonne Meyer-Lohr’s astute curatorial approach helps us understand how deftly Kenna moves between techniques, whether he is capturing the network of cables on a suspension bridge, the glittering jewels of a nighttime cityscape, or the haunting silhouette of a factory tower. Accompanied by texts by Meyer-Lohr.

Rather than being focused on productivity and efficiency, they allow one to unwind, contemplate, unravel, and experience.

More than thirty countries and more than a decade later, the fruits of that monumental project are gathered in this impressive collection covering nearly a century of architectural history. Driven by a passion for rediscovering forgotten or lesser known architectural treasures of Modernism, Stech took thousands of diverse photographs of exteriors and interiors. This survey features often overlooked details and hidden projects that Stech helps bring to light. His brief commentary on each featured building reveals insights into his vast collection of images that includes treasures of Italian Modernism, American mid-century classics, South American Art Deco, Belgian organic architecture, French Brutalism, forgotten Australian modern houses, and much more.

Mais la science des structures, indispensable à l'architecte qui les dessine tout comme à l'amateur qui cherche à les comprendre, peut s'avérer d'un abord intimidant. Ne requérant aucune connaissance préalable (outre les quatre opérations mathématiques de base), l'ouvrage de l'ingénieur et l'architecte Marc Leyral vise à instruire tout lecteur sur les principes simples qui sous-tendent les structures les plus complexes. Guidé par une volonté didactique affichée, l'ouvrage prend forme d'un dialogue socratique entre un jeune élève et son maître qui l'introduit pas à pas aux notions fondamentales de l'art de bâtir.

Summary:
Manfredo Tafuri (1935–1994), the celebrated Italian architectural historian, published "L’architettura moderna" in Giappone in 1964. At the time, Tafuri was twenty-nine years old and had not visited Japan. Here, translated into English for the first time, the book presents a rare outsider’s view of the Metabolist movement and figures such as Kenzo Tange by one of the most astute critics of the second part of the twentieth century. Tafuri’s ideas about Japanese architecture were primarily formed through texts, including magazine articles and contemporary photographs. How did Tafuri come to select the achievements of Japanese architects as the focus of his reflections on modern architecture? What happens when a historian of architecture relies purely on photographs for making judgments about a building? Edited and introduced by Mohsen Mostafavi, this volume reflects on these questions, and more, and includes a rich collection of images.

Typology+ documents and analyzes roughly one hundred international housing structures. It uses diagrammatic drawings to elaborate a broad and varied range of residential types and present them systematically. In the process, it examines variants under the categories of access, space (ground plan and open space), and morphology, supplemented by detailed typological descriptions and the elaboration of the special qualities of each individual type. More general essays draw connections between the housing types and twentieth-century reference projects. All of the projects are newly drawn to uniform standards; every project is presented with its ground plan drawn to a scale of 1:200. Site maps, sections, elevations, and photographs illuminate the urban setting, the building structure and design, and the spatial and functional qualities of each residential structure.
