Il s'agit d'un ouvrage qui entend proposer un regard photographique sur des bâtiments d'Abidjan portant l'empreinte d'un certain « modernisme tropical ». Plus exactement, 'Album Architectures, Abidjan' est le témoignage d'une rencontre entre deux individus qui habitent et partagent un attachement esthétique et émotionnel pour la cité lagunaire. Issa Diabaté, architecte, acteur contemporain du devenir architectural de cette ville qui ne cesse de se réinventer. François-Xavier Gbré, photographe qui a fait de l'architecture son médium privilégié d'appréhension de l'histoire sourde des lieux en envisageant les architectures comme les traces sédimentaires des changements sociaux et politiques d'un pays, la Côte d'Ivoire. Cet ouvrage, et la collection 'Album Architectures' plus largement, souhaite initier une réflexion sur la définition de la notion de patrimoine contemporain à travers la valorisation de paysages architecturaux riches et singuliers, pas toujours identifiés, souvent invisibilisés, de villes en perpétuelle mutation urbaine.

Summary:

Their up-to-the-minute recasting of classical modernist principles has made them a source of continuing inspiration to design students and professionals alike. Over the course of recent years, the Hariris' portfolio has expanded from small-scale commissions to widely celebrated projects, including the much lauded "Digital House" and the first house to be completed at The Houses at Sagaponac, the ambitious Hamptons development. Among the projects featured in Hariri & Hariri: Houses—illustrated in plans, drawings, and splendid full-color photography—are a new house for the AQUA development in Miami Beach; spectacular urban renovations in New York City; and magnificent new houses across the country, as well as international projects, all of which demonstrate the ability of the Hariris to combine modernist rigor with what New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger identified as an "understanding of the patterns of everyday life."

Richard Meier, one of America's most influential and widely emulated architects, began his career in the early 1960s designing private residential projects, whose elegant modernist style and white facades have become icons of modern architecture. Renowned as the designer of large-scale works around the world, including the Jubilee Church in Rome and the Getty Center in Los Angeles, Meier has set an international style all his own based on the purity and power of his unique vision. This beautifully photographed volume is the first to document Meier's complete catalogue of museum and gallery projects, including the seminal High Museum in Atlanta (recently featured on a U.S. postage stamp in a series that includes the Guggenheim Museum and the Chrysler Building), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills, the Getty Center, and the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome. Richard Meier Museums presents these and other celebrated projects in stunning full-color interior and exterior photography and extensive drawings and plans to give the fullest understanding of this modernist master's remarkable contribution to the art of museum design.

Summary:
Craig Ellwood was one of the finest California architects of the postwar era. By the time he was thirty he had already contributed three of the seminal Case Study Houses and received the São Paulo Award for his Courtyard Apartments. Subsequently influenced by Mies, he went on to design a lengthy series of stark minimalist structures, peaking with the Pasadena Art Center. With the support of John Entenza, editor of the influential magazine Arts & Architecture, Ellwood was, until the late 1960s, widely considered to be one of the most innovative American architects of the period. This book documents all the Ellwood buildings that remain on the records, a total of some ninety structures. Its 600 illustrations include comprehensive archival photography (including Ellwood’s own pictures and others by Julius Shulman), original drawings, and, for those buildings that remain in good condition, recent images. Due to the loss of most of the original drawings, 80 floor plans have been redrawn for this publication, making this book as close a record of Ellwood’s complete works as is possible today.

Summary:
The architectural practice of Hiroshi Sugimoto and Tomoyuki Sakakida is informed by a simple paradox: ''the oldest things are the newest.'' In 2008, Sugimoto and Sakakida founded New Material Research Laboratory with an aim to develop ''new'' materials for construction based upon much older materials and techniques. The NMRL reinvigorates material from ancient times and the Middle Ages by using it in the context of a distinctly contemporary design sensibility and thus creating a physical connection between the past and the present. This beautiful hardcover volume delves into the art and architecture as well as the archaeological philosophy of the Laboratory. Each project is characterized by the materials used in its construction and is illustrated with rich full-color photography. Sugimoto and Sakakida are the principal authors of the accompanying text, extrapolating on their design ethos and its roots in Japanese aesthetic tradition; supplemental reading provides further historical context. The book also includes an annotated index of materials and classic Japanese techniques with information drawn from the Laboratory’s research.
