Summary:
In "Rootedness: Reflections for young architects," Juhani Pallasmaa delivers an insightful and expansive collection of his most compelling ideas into architecture’s position among arts and culture. Pallasmaa speaks to architecture students and young professionals, discussing each topic with sincerity and openness, suggesting what can be learned from areas of culture beyond the boundaries of familiar professional disciplines. He outlines the growing need for an architecture based in self-awareness, reconnection to the environment, and a sense of ethical responsibility. Each essay in "Rootedness" was initially conceived and presented as an educational lecture and has been carefully edited with clarifications, refinements, and valuable expansions. Accompanying sketches by the author emphasize the personal and intimate nature of the essays.

On the occasion of his fifth and final year as Chair of the Department of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, architect and educator Mark Lee strings together five “footnotes”—on history, on cadence, on autonomy, on America, and on point—to assess the relationship between architectural education, research, and professional practice.

Summary:
On the occasion of his fifth and final year as Chair of the Department of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, architect and educator Mark Lee strings together five “footnotes”—on history, on cadence, on autonomy, on America, and on point—to assess the relationship between architectural education, research, and professional practice. Evoking a similar position that marked his tenure, Lee delivers a lecture that embraces dialogue, context, and precedent, and rejects the notion of a heroic manifesto in favor of the footnote: “something ancillary, something used for referencing and providing citations for metanarratives that already exist.” And why five? “It’s a ubiquitous number in the culture of architecture. Five orders, five architects, five points.”

Summary:
L'édification de Sainte-Geneviève, dont Labrouste est chargé en 1838, caractérise le point de départ d'une longue série d'architectures, d'abord destinées aux livres et à la lecture. On veut expliquer ici comment l'expérience de Sainte-Geneviève, ancrée dans la tradition monastique et nourrie des réflexions recueillies sous la Restauration et au début de la Monarchie de juillet, s'est inscrite dans le contexte international du XIXe siècle tout entier ; comment elle a permis une impressionnante éclosion de réalisations, en Europe comme aux États-Unis. À Sainte-Geneviève, ce n'est pas seulement le principe de programme " bibliothéconomique " que l'architecte français a inventé, c'est encore le dessin d'une travée type : il devint par excellence le symbole architecturé de la bibliothèque.

Summary:
The Japanese architect Takaharu Tezuka caused a stir in 2015 with his TEDtalk “The best kindergarten you’ve ever seen”. As the first text-focused publication, Tezuka Architects: "The yellow book" now provides an insight into the design philosophy of the internationally renowned architecture firm. Based on a lecture by Tezuka at Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD), this “pocket guide” in scale and feel introduces the architects’ way of thinking, using examples of seminal projects in recent years. Buildings such as the Roof House (2001), the Child Chemo House (2013), or the Fuji Kindergarten (2007) illustrate the powerful impact of Takaharu and Yui Tezuka’s design and show how architecture can contribute actively to building a better society.

Summary:
The work of Rudolf Schwarz (1897–1961) allows a deeper understanding of post-war German architecture, representing the product of a continuous European architectural and intellectual practice that bridged the Second World War. Known especially for his churches, Schwarz is perhaps best remembered for his significant contributions to the reconstruction of Cologne. This book examines nine of his religious and secular buildings in the Rhineland, which are presented through new survey drawings and photographs. These are accompanied by Schwarz’s project descriptions and his lecture “Architecture of Our Times” from 1958, which contextualizes his approach. Essays by Wolfgang Pehnt and an interview with Schwarz’s wife, the architect Maria Schwarz, provide further insight into this complex oeuvre.

Dans une enquête passionnée, Claude Mignot, l’un des meilleurs spécialistes de l’histoire de l’architecture, suit les thèmes dominants de sa poétique spatiale et propose une lecture des édifices les plus célèbres de l’artiste : la ravissante chapelle « en rotonde » de la Visitation rue Saint-Antoine, le château neuf de Blois, le château de Maisons, son chef-d’œuvre, l’hôtel de Guénégaud des Brosses avec son spectaculaire escalier à volées suspendues, ou encore le Val-de-Grâce, dont l’achèvement lui échappe.

Summary:
Another self-indulgent design monograph is Stefan Sagmeister's hand-scrawled subtitle for the first book about his work, Made You Look. This, and the book's clear red case and silver-gilded pages, seem contrary to the raw, handwritten style he is known for, already setting us up for a wild and very personal ride through almost the entire corpus of the 39-year-old designer's work. Sagmeister once scratched words into his skin for his own lecture poster at Cranbrook, and this is the book version--sometimes enlightening, sometimes embarrassing, and ultimately touching. The story is a conversation between Peter Hall's text and Sagmeister's handwritten commentary, a perfect and believable device for an absorbing dialogue.
