Summary:
Au cours du XXe siècle, l'architecture a largement ignoré la couleur, et si ce mépris n'est plus à l'ordre du jour, loin de là, il subsiste à son égard une méconnaissance de ses possibilités et des conditions pour optimiser son utilisation. En effet, la couleur n'est pas anodine, elle est matière à part entière : elle peut transformer l'espace architecturé et le valoriser(...)

Summary:
Au cours du XXe siècle, l'architecture a largement ignoré la couleur, et si ce mépris n'est plus à l'ordre du jour, loin de là, il subsiste à son égard une méconnaissance de ses possibilités et des conditions pour optimiser son utilisation. En effet, la couleur n'est pas anodine, elle est matière à part entière : elle peut transformer l'espace architecturé et le valoriser si elle répond à une réelle prise en compte du milieu naturel et construit dans lequel elle s'exerce, et des enjeux auxquels elle est confrontée. Largement illustré par des exemples tirés de projets, de références de chantier, de réalisations concrètes, «Chromo-architecture» propose une réflexion à la fois théorique et pratique sur l'application de la couleur dans l'environnement, l'urbanisme et l'architecture.

Summary:
Timber is a renewable material that also creates warm, welcoming spaces offering an emotional quality to their users. Light on Wood is a very personal story about how to design with mass timber. The pioneering architectural practice of atelierjones in Seattle, founded by Susan H. Jones, has diligently worked to decarbonize our built environment. In fact, it was one of the first practices in the US to use mass timber.Many beautiful buildings ensued over the past two decades, often developed in cooperation with local communities. But the office also investigated the behavior of CLT in case of fire and thus contributed to much-needed changes in building code. This book documents atelierjones’ multifaceted approach of design, research and advocacy and shows an attractive selection of the projects that have resulted from it.

While, for many architects, drawing is a functional tool in the development of specific building projects, Sir Peter Cook (born 1936) has used the medium throughout his long career to channel his boundless imagination. From those made in the 1960s at Archigram to the present day, Cook's colorful, highly detailed images resonate beyond the architectural sphere, as seen in(...)

Summary:
While, for many architects, drawing is a functional tool in the development of specific building projects, Sir Peter Cook (born 1936) has used the medium throughout his long career to channel his boundless imagination. From those made in the 1960s at Archigram to the present day, Cook's colorful, highly detailed images resonate beyond the architectural sphere, as seen in his major solo exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2022. Cook's work pushes the boundaries of architectural norms of design and construction, with the freedom to imagine buildings, communities and cities that are, as he succinctly puts it, "possible or maybe nearly possible, but importantly, not consciously impossible."

Summary:
Existing narratives cast the Greeks as the progenitors of classical art and architecture or rely on historical sources dating centuries after the fact to establish the Roman context. Author John North Hopkins, however, allows the material and visual record to play the primary role in telling the story of Rome’s origins, synthesizing important new evidence from recent excavations. Hopkins’s detailed account of urban growth and artistic, political, and social exchange establishes strong parallels with communities across the Mediterranean. From the late 7th century, Romans looked to increasingly distant lands for shifts in artistic production. By the end of the archaic period they were building temples that would outstrip the monumentality of even those on the Greek mainland. The book’s extensive illustrations feature new reconstructions, allowing readers a rare visual exploration of this fragmentary evidence.
