Summary:
Whether for a few minutes, a weekend, or a long vacation, todays spaces for recreation are available in a variety of forms and activities, and pursue a wide diversity of basic methodological ideas. Rather than being focused on productivity and efficiency, they allow one to unwind, contemplate, unravel, and experience. The 30 projects featured in this volume help create harmony and kindle a sense of recovery through their structural and material impact. The diverse scales and typologies they represent draw upon traditional constructions as well as modern spatial realities, wherein the design forms a framework for relaxation while enabling the mind to escape and reinvigorate.

Summary:
In 2006, architecture and design curator Adam Stech embarked on a photographic project to document the best Modernist architecture around the globe. 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.

Summary:
Les objets qui nous entourent, depuis le simple nid d'une hirondelle jusqu'à la halle d'un marché couvert, ne cessent de nous interroger sur les liens étroits et parfois mystérieux qui unissent formes, forces et matières. 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.
