Par le biais d’une conversation, comme par le choix d’une anthologie de textes, Yann Nussaume nous donne à lire l’oeuvre de Tadao Andô, l’un des grands maîtres de l’architecture japonaise, lauréat du prestigieux prix Pritzker en 1995. Cet architecte développe une réflexion essentielle sur le sens de l’être au monde, de l’habiter, des liens entre bâti et paysage. Face à la crise environnementale, il élève les consciences en proposant de confronter ses contemporains à ce qu’il appelle une nature rendue abstraite : la lumière rendue abstraite, l’eau rendue abstraite, le vent rendu abstrait.

Summary:
The debate surrounding hand drawing versus computer-generated imagery has become a hot topic. Having grown up with computers, today's interior design and architecture students are extremely adept at creating computer imagery, but often lack confidence in their freehand sketching skills, or do not know how to sketch at all. Sketching, and the careful observation that it entails, is essential for the successful development of the next generation of designers. Forty-five step-by-step exercises take the student from the simple three-dimensional forms of furniture, to interiors, to complex building exteriors and cityscapes. Technical topics covered include tools, line weights, perspective, proportion, composition, shading, serial views, and context.

Summary:
Architectural collections are warehouses of knowledge: they are resources for historical plans and buildings, and they offer insight and ideas for the designs of tomorrow. However, in the age of computer-aided design, the sketches, plans and models that were once available for research and exhibitions are being replaced by bits and bytes on a variety of storage media whose lifetimes have no guaranteed length. The Architekturmuseum at the Technical University in Munich has one of the largest special collections of architecture in Europe. This publication presents its complex history while placing it in the context of other prominent international collections. Selected examples are used to discuss questions about collecting, research and the exhibition of architecture in the future.
