Summary:
The new ARCAM POCKET, Amsterdam Architecture 2003-06 gives an overview of the projects built in Amsterdam in the period 2003-2006. A jury, comprising development adviser Eric Amory, architect Madeleine Maaskant and architectural theorist Roemer van Toorn, visited all of the buildings realized in this period and has selected 38. Successful insertion projects in existing urban areas such as the nineteenth-century ring, the Westelijke Tuinsteden (western garden suburbs), the Bijlmer and North Amsterdam alternate with projects in new urban areas such as IJburg, the Zuidas (South Axis) and Oostelijke Handelskade. What is striking is the diversity of the projects, ranging from the bridge Nesciobrug (Wilkinson Eyre) to IJburg, the new head office of DWR (Architectuurstudio Hertzberger), the Finish House near Bosbaan (Mecanoo) and the operating station Westerkeersluis (LUX Architecten), to housing complexes by well-known firms such as FARO Architekten, Claus en Kaan Architects, De Architekten Cie. and UN Studio. But also projects by Dedato, Evelo Vandenberg and Jef Reintjens. In an introduction, Roemer van Toorn describes what struck the jury during its tour of Amsterdam's latest buildings: the introverted residential environments, neo-historicism, gadget architecture, monumentality and the return of the urban block. The book contains a handy map and route descriptions for those who wish to go and judge the projects for themselves.

Summary:
Curious about how Alsop Architects managed to construct that flying, translucent rectangle at the Ontario College of Art and Design? Wonder about the sustainability of the Genzyme Building? The saying "the truth is in the details" reveals an essential quality of architectural design. How a staircase curves, a roof seemingly floats, or a concrete wall illuminates are critical questions for architects looking at or creating new work. You might forgive designers for closely guarding their signature techniques. Fortunately, editors Christine Killory and René Davids culled an amazing collection of the best trade secrets in "Details in contemporary architecture". By looking at the best work of the past two years, the book demonstrates how complicated design problems have been handled by architects to achieve beautiful, functional, innovative, sustainable, and, where necessary, economical results. Including work by David Chipperfield, Herzog and de Meuron, Morphosis, ShoP, and many other well-known firms, "Details in contemporary architecture" extensively explores the common as well as more exotic architectural detailing (screens and walls, doors and windows, roofs, bridges, and stairs) that so often gets lost in the pages and photographs of the design media. "Details in contemporary architecture" is the first volume of a new series entitled "AsBuilt". AsBuilt features details from a representative range of building types and materials of recent built work in America. The series seeks to ground both practice and theory more deeply while fostering a better understanding of the relationships between architectural form and technology.

Apparu dans les années 1950, le brutalisme s'inspire notamment des réalisations de Le Corbusier, en particulier de la Cité radieuse de Marseille. L'intitulé même du style désigne une de ses caractéristiques les plus voyantes : l'utilisation du béton « brut de décoffrage », sans ornements ni fioritures.

Summary:
Apparu dans les années 1950, le brutalisme s'inspire notamment des réalisations de Le Corbusier, en particulier de la Cité radieuse de Marseille. L'intitulé même du style désigne une de ses caractéristiques les plus voyantes : l'utilisation du béton « brut de décoffrage », sans ornements ni fioritures. Mais d'autres matériaux, comme le métal, la pierre ou le verre, ont pu être intégrés à des constructions se réclamant du même mouvement. Prospérant à Paris et dans sa périphérie jusqu'à la fin des années 1970, le brutalisme architectural suscite un regain d'intérêt aujourd'hui. En voici 100 exemples majeurs- immeubles de logements, bâtiments publics, équipements sportifs... - offrant le contrepoint de leurs silhouettes massives et anguleuses dans le paysage urbain.
