Summary:
Construire une maison au bord de la mer est un pari très intéressant tant pour l'architecte que pour le client, car c'est une perspective qui répond au besoin fondamental de l'humanité d'être conforme à la nature. Ces conditions naturelles, défis d'architecture exaltants, forment la trame des projets présentés dans ce livre. Le souci de respecter l'environnement naturel d'un milieu aussi spectaculaire que celui-ci a conduit les professionnels à rechercher des solutions architecturales extrêmes élever la construction sur pilotis, élargir les ouvertures au maximum dans les zones à faible ensoleillement ou fermer une maison et l'envelopper sur elle-même pour la protéger de la violence des vents. Néanmoins, il en résulte essentiellement une composition fragmentée qui engendre une multitude de volumes et d'espaces externes, en quête d'une relation idéale avec l'environnement extérieur, sans nuire à l'indépendance des différentes zones qui composent le projet. Pour offrir au lecteur un large éventail de cette architecture exceptionnelle, cet ouvrage réunit une sélection de projets d'architectes renommés du monde entier, où chacun d'entre eux fait apparaître un dialogue unique entre l'architecture et la mer.

Summary:
Directed by Paolo Portoghesi, the Second Venice Architecture Biennale raised questions about a postmodernity through realms extending south and east from the Mediterranean, where modernity and decolonisation were converging. Translated here for the first time for an English-speaking audience are selected texts by Mehdi Kowsar, Udo Kultermann, and Portoghesi from the original exhibition catalogue, accompanied by additional commentary. Furthermore, Esra Akcan reflects on the historical and socio-political contexts of the exhibition, while Asli Çiçek and Véronique Patteeuw consider the catalogue itself from the perspective of architectural history.

In his texts, Peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design his buildings, which appeal to the visitor's heart and mind in so many different ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable presence and aura. Now in its third edition, this(...)

Summary:
Architecture that is meant to have a sensuous connection to life calls for thinking that goes far beyond form and construction. In his texts, Peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design his buildings, which appeal to the visitor's heart and mind in so many different ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable presence and aura. Now in its third edition, this book has been expanded to include two new essays: "Architecture and Landscape" deals with the relationship between the structure and its surroundings, with the secret of the successful placement and topographical integration of architecture. In "The Leis Houses" Peter Zumthor describes the genesis of two wooden houses in the town of Leis in the Swiss canton of Graubunden, thus thematizing the special challenge of integrating contemporary architecture into a traditional architectural context.
