Summary:
Cet ouvrage est à la fois une petite encyclopédie, qui s'adresse aux architectes et aux décorateurs, et un essai sur l'architecture de la plus célèbre des îles de l'Asie tropicale. Made Wijaya, architecte paysagiste amoureux de Bali, a puisé dans ses archives photographiques, constituées au cours des trente dernières années, pour nous faire découvrir et admirer l'architecture balinaise, ses origines, ses caractéristiques, ses variations et ses caprices. L'auteur commence par un tour d'horizon de l'architecture balinaise dans son contexte humain, le village. Il examine ensuite les éléments fondamentaux de cette architecture, la cour fermée et le pavillon. Il consacre les chapitres suivants aux matériaux de construction, à l'ornementation, la grande passion des Balinais, et aux influences étrangères, notamment chinoises et indochinoises. Au fil des pages, l'architecture complexe de Bali devient plus lisible et même surprenante. Made Wijaya étudie les tendances dans la construction contemporaine et exprime avec passion ses points de vue sur une politique architecturale souhaitable pour Bali. Cette étude est constellée d'exemples d'adaptation de l'architecture traditionnelle balinaise dans les maisons modernes et les grands hôtels de l'île. Outre les photographies personnelles de Wijaya, cet ouvrage est illustré par les œuvres de peintres et de photographes inondialeinent célèbres, parmi lesquels Tim Street-Porter, Rio Helmi, Chang Huai-Yan, Dent Chung, et Bruce Granquist. Les architectes et les décorateurs trouveront dans cet ouvrage un guide de référence particulièrement utile sur les matériaux, les différents types de construction, l'ornementation, en même temps que des idées pour l'utilisation de l'espace. Les amoureux de Bali accueilleront avec enthousiasme cette étude sur un monde en rapide évolution

Summary:
Dans ce livre, les auteurs (artistes, architectes, philosophes, historiens, urbanistes) observent les façons dont l’« espace », le « temps » et les « formes d’expressions » sont plus ou moins solidaires des évolutions sociales et techniques qui assaillent les sociétés contemporaines. Ces évolutions s’affrontent, se combinent ou se parasitent, mais nul ne peut les ignorer, tant elles interfèrent dans le devenir urbain. L’art dans sa relation complexe au territoire y parvient-il ? À l’heure de l’éparpillement géographique des villes et de l’émiettement du temps de la quotidienneté, l’art peut-il manifester la « signification insignifiable »

Summary:
Founded in 1951 by visionary textile designer Armi Ratia and her husband, Viljo, the Marimekko Corporation in Finland not only sparked a revolution in pattern making but also pioneered a new definition of fashion that embraced the entire home environment. This book presents more than one hundred examples of the Marimekko fashions and home furnishings that gave the company a definitive presence on the world design stage. The book considers the history of the company from its founding through today and examines Marimekko’s impact on design in Finland and around the world. The company’s most important designers, including Maija Isola and Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, their contributions, and their stylistic development are also discussed. In addition, the book examines Marimekko home and office interiors and how they reflected the lifestyle envisioned in Armi Ratia’s broad, radical definition of fashion.

Summary:
After a century largely dominated by discussions of space and form, there is now renewed interest in the material and tectonic aspects of architecture. This illustrated book takes a detailed and timely look at the importance of materials in architecture, focusing particularly on modern and contemporary buildings. Richard Weston begins with a brief cultural history of major building materials--such as timber, earth, stone, steel, and glass--exploring how they have been produced, considered, worked, and used in a variety of buildings and cultures. He then explores the ways that architects, theorists, and critics have articulated the relationship between materials and architectural forms and spaces throughout modern history. Other featured topics include the importance of place, time, junctions, finish, and meaning; the proposition that in an increasingly global and virtual world, many architects emphasize the material qualities of buildings to ensure a heightened sense of reality; and a comprehensive survey of current and prospective developments in materials, from refinements of such familiar materials as fiber-reinforced concrete and “intelligent” glass to new synthetic compounds and working methods. Together, these varied perspectives on the material art of building offer insights into the impact that the type and treatment of materials has on how buildings can be constructed and designed, how they function, and how they fare over time.

Summary:
Although postmodern architecture reaches giddy heights in the cinema multiplexes and shopping malls on the outskirts of town, its services have been in greatest demand in the centre of London. The fun, brash style dominated architecture from its radical inception at the end of the 1970's to its soggy death by cul-de-sac developments in the 90's. Why did the postmodern expire? A change of fashion, maybe? It can certainly be too much at times, all those Plaudoh pediments, Lego walls and cheap multicoloured facings. A victim of its own popularity? We live and work in countless postmodern low-rise houses and offices all over the city; so ubiquitous is it that not a street has been spared.
