Summary:
From the iconic modernism of Luis Barragán to the brightly colored postmodern forms of Ricardo Legoretta, this important historical document deals with the plurality of architectural styles and voices in Mexico during the 20th and early 21st centuries. Referencing French philosopher Michel Foucault’s idea of effective history in which knowledge does not encompass absolute truths delivered in traditional historical texts but rather fragments, shortening its vision to the things nearest it, Architecture in Mexico offers a new reading of the diverse interests at stake in historical Mexican architecture—its production and its subsequent reception. The volume pursues comprehension beyond built forms and closer to the ideas (and ideologies) that gave rise to them.

Summary:
The essence of architectural photography is to catch the soul of a building, its image, material surface, colours and beauty, without anything being said or written. Jussi Tiainen takes photographs in a manner such that the building speaks for its own character, mostly without people or any form of decoration in the picture which could mis-focus or blur the accuracy of(...)

Summary:
The essence of architectural photography is to catch the soul of a building, its image, material surface, colours and beauty, without anything being said or written. Jussi Tiainen takes photographs in a manner such that the building speaks for its own character, mostly without people or any form of decoration in the picture which could mis-focus or blur the accuracy of the photogenic architectural timelessness. This book is a photographic statement about the city of Helsinki with its contemporary high-quality architecture built at the turn of the Millennium. All the featured buildings were built and photographed between 1998 and 2001.

Summary:
Vienna-based architect Martin Feiersinger and his brother, artist and photographer Werner Feiersinger, have traveled extensively across Northern Italy in order to document the region’s modern architecture after World War II. "Italomodern 1 and 2" are the result of their travels, the most authoritative survey of Northern Italy’s architecture between 1946 and 1976. In their study, they have focused exclusively on distinctive buildings rather than entire urban structures, and they have selected the included projects as exemplary representations of neorealism, rationalism, brutalism, and organic styles. "Italomodern 1" features 84 buildings and "Italomodern 2" contains an additional 132 buildings. All of them are represented with photographs, a concise text, the exact address, and selected floor plans, sections, or elevations. The images present a subjective point of view, showing each building in its present state. An appendix provides rich information on the architects and other selected buildings and further reading for each firm. The books offer a glimpse into an era when society’s aspirations found expression in the built environment. Each volume is self-contained and also makes an insightful and useful guide for architecture lovers and travelers.

Summary:
L'appel à contributions pour le colloque "Inside Density" organisé par NeTHCA en novembre 1999, mentionnait les questions relatives à la densité, la congestion et la mise en réseaux. L'objectif du colloque était d'explorer les enjeux théoriques du concept de densité et de critiquer l'usage naïf des indices de densité comme critères d'efficacité de la planification. Le colloque a réuni un large éventail de chercheurs renommés ou émergeants ainsi que d'architectes professionnels. Ce volume, publié sous la direction de Hilde Heynen et de David Vanderburgh, rassemble les plus intéressantes contributions de ce colloque, dans leur langue originelle française ou anglaise. Il comporte aussi bien les propos des conférenciers Pascal Amphoux et Mark Wigley, que des essais de Tom Avermaete, Dieter De Clercq, Alexander D'Hooghe, Marc Glaudemans, Leslie Jaye Kavanaugh, Bernard Kormoss, Hubert Lionnez/Roberto Zancan, Olivier Mathieu/Li Mei Tsien, Anne Mie Depuydt/Erik Van Daele, Kai Vöckler, Sarah Whiting, Paola Yacoub/Michel Lasserre . . . / The call for the "Inside Density" colloquium, organized by neTHCA in november 1999, evoked papers addressing issues of density, congestion and networking. The aim of the colloquium was to explore the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of density and to criticize the naïve use of density indexes as markers of good planning. The colloquium brought together an international range of renowned scholars, promising young researchers, and practising architects. This volume, co-edited by Hilde Heynen and David Vanderburgh, presents the best texts, some in English and some in French, that resulted from the colloquium. It contains contributions by key-note speakers Pascal Amphoux and Mark Wigley, as well as papers by Tom Avermaete, Dieter De Clercq, Alexander D'Hooghe, Marc Glaudemans, Leslie Jaye Kavanaugh, Bernard Kormoss, Hubert Lionnez/Roberto Zancan, Olivier Mathieu/Li Mei Tsien, Anne Mie Depuydt/Erik Van Daele, Kai Vöckler, Sarah Whiting, Paola Yacoub/Michel Lasserre . . .

Summary:
How do you find out about historic buildings and places? A good place to start is with visual evidence. Original drawings, topographical views, surveys, maps, photographs, and other historic visual sources help to support an understanding of how a building or location appears the way it does today. Interpreting such material requires knowledge of historic design and mapping conventions, the place of the drawings in the construction process, the methods and techniques used to create engraved or topographical views, and the equipment and processes used in photography at particular times. The authors of this book explain the provenance, purpose, and terminology of a range of visual sources from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, and explore how they can help—or sometimes hinder—an understanding of the original form and subsequent changes to a building, site, or landscape.
