Summary:
The author, Gerhard Mack, explores the architecture of each individual museum in detail, and highlights current tendencies in museum building in his seminal essay "Time Rediscovered". This is complemented by an introduction by Harald Szeemann, who as curator of the Kunsthaus in Zürich, was appointed director for Fine Arts at the Biennale in Venice this year. The museums examined in this book are Kunsthaus in Bregenz, the Museum of the Beyeler Fondation near Basel, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Moderna und Arkitektur Museet in Stockholm all opening within a year of one another. The Tate Gallery of Modern Art which is being built by Herzog & de Meuron in a former power station on the Thames in London is to be completed in May 1999. Conversations with the architects Frank O. Gehry, Jacques Herzog, Richard Meier, Rafael Moneo, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano and Peter Zumthor reveal the wide spectrum of design concerns in contemporary museum design and building. In the Pavilion at the Beyeler Fondation, the interaction of nature, light and the presentation of art is an impressive experience. Jean Nouvel perceives the museum as a public place, bringing the various areas of 'urban chaos' into contact with each other. A total of eight projects are presented.

Summary:
Sur ces deux objets à la mode, célébrés par tout le monde, y compris par l’industrie du tourisme globalisée, la Promenade plantée de Paris et le High Line Park de Manhattan, on aura tout entendu, sauf peut-être l’essentiel : que ces dispositifs complexes sont générés par la ville elle-même et qu’elle nous communique par là quelque chose de fondamental. C’est la raison pour laquelle nous devons prêter toute notre attention et intelligence à ce qui s’est installé au tournant du siècle à New York et à Paris, convaincus comme nous le sommes, qu’il y a avec ces plateformes – outre les thèmes de la marche et de la déambulation urbaine, de la flânerie et de la dérive, de la ruine et de la rouille, de la trame verte et du spectacle – tout un monde à découvrir. Michael Jakob est professeur de théorie et histoire du paysage à la Haute école du paysage, d'ingénierie et d'architecture (Hepia), à Genève.

Summary:
When the gates of the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair swung open on April 24, 1964, the first of more than 51 million lucky visitors entered, ready to witness the cutting edge of worldwide technology and progress. Faced with a disappointing lack of foreign participants due to political contention, the fair instead showcased the best of American industry and science. While multimillion-dollar pavilions predicted colonies on the moon and hotels under the ocean, other forecasts, such as the promises of computer technology, have surpassed even the most optimistic predictions of the fair. The 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair: Creation and Legacy uses rare, previously unpublished photographs to examine the creation of the fair and the legacies left behind for future generations. Bill Cotter and Bill Young, authors of The 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair, they have contributed to numerous other books, magazine articles, and documentaries on the fair. They also host two popular Web sites devoted to the study and appreciation of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
