"What precedes architecture?" Architect-artist Malgorzata Maria Olchowska (°Bartoszyce, 1982) investigates how personal and collective memories influence our view of the built environment.

Summary:
"What precedes architecture?" Architect-artist Malgorzata Maria Olchowska (°Bartoszyce, 1982) investigates how personal and collective memories influence our view of the built environment. According to Olchowska, there is no limit to the resilience of cities: "Cities go up and down, we see that now with the war in Ukraine or with the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Urban districts that are now in ruins will sooner or later be rebuilt." The book is built around a text by Vlad Ionescu (Faculty of Architecture and Art, PXL/UHasselt) in which he reflects on Olchowska’s work, from 2009 to today. This is supplemented and illustrated by means of a visual essay in which Olchowska shows her work of the last five years.

The forum was convened by associate professor Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, David Andrew Tasman and curator Carson Chan. This publication includes essays that explore the difficulties of exhibiting something as large and complex as a building or a city, and how to communicate something as elusive as an architectural experience that unfolds in space and time. It includes essays by Barry Bergdoll, Mari Lending, Romy Golan, Wallis Miller, Simon Sadler, Craig Buckley, among others, and two round table discussions with curators and practitioners.

Summary:
Between 1949 and 1989, remarkable buildings of late modernity were constructed in the coastal city of Kuwait. Within these four decades, the city state on the Arabian Gulf was comprehensively restructured and practically redesigned. Following a first volume with 150 carefully selected exemplary buildings, this second volume features interviews, essays and arguments, as well as transcripts of contemporary publications of these years. The texts by local and international scholars focus on questions regarding the significance and function of the buildings along with the role of individual and corporate protagonists that influenced, defined and created this highly dynamic restructuring process. Furthermore, all aspects are integrated into a wider regional and international context. The contributions are complemented by an array of photographic, layout, and archive materials.

Summary:
Poursuivant sa réflexion autour des lieux dédiés aux divertissements – après l’exposition Landskating, les lieux du skate à travers le monde, présentée l’année dernière –, la villa Noailles consacre, en 2017, son exposition annuelle d’architecture aux discothèques. Par une sélection de projets des années 1960 à nos jours, l’exposition propose de saisir les outils architecturaux mis en jeu dans la conception de ces lieux d’émancipation. La discothèque est un territoire d’expérimentation pour les architectes : par des dispositifs technologiques et formels, ils y élaborent un monde artificiel, à l’ambiance maîtrisée, isolé de l’extérieur. Aux côtés de l’analyse d’un ensemble de projets français et étrangers, une commande est passée à l’architecte Nicolas Dorval-Bory pour la création d’une discothèque au sein de la villa Noailles elle-même. Ouverte le temps de l’exposition, cette “boite de nuit” éphémère met à jour et propose d’éprouver in vivo le propos de l’exposition. L’exposition rassemble des documents rares et parfois inédits, (plans, maquettes, photographies, sculptures, oeuvres graphiques, films) ainsi que des séries photographiques et des recherches de contributeurs invités.

The Federal Supreme Court of Germany, subject of this monograph, was specifically conceived by Paul Baumgarten as the architectural expression of a modern legal practice and jurisprudence. Duotone photographs by Florian Profitlich capture what is now a protected historical monument, and original, previously unpublished plans provide documentation of the building's guiding architectural concept.

At the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris, the newly erected Eiffel Tower became one of the first icons of illuminated architecture, a nocturnal "lighthouse."

Summary:
At the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris, the newly erected Eiffel Tower became one of the first icons of illuminated architecture, a nocturnal "lighthouse." It was not until decades later, in the 1920s, when a building’s evening façade became a central issue for residential and commercial architects, who began to look for avant-garde and aesthetically striking ways to light up their ever-taller works in all the major cities of the world. Both European and American architects wanted to distance their buildings from the garish electric signage that had come to dominate the street-level cityscape, so they worked with more delicately colored floodlights. Contemporary architects use many of the same techniques today, aided by technological advances that allow them to be implemented in particularly dramatic ways. "Luminous Buildings: Architecture of the NIght" opens a dialogue on the often overlooked but exciting connections between architecture, technology and light, offering points of reference in historical buildings and utopias, more recent designs, paintings and photographs of nighttime facades, and scholarly texts.
