Summary:
Constructed as a series of five essays around the themes of beauty, culture, emotion, the experience of architecture, and artistic play, this book draws upon a broad range of discussions taking place in philosophy, psychology, biology, neuroscience, and anthropology, and in doing so questions what implications these discussions hold for architectural design.

Summary:
"This is an experiential architecture, not a theoretical one. It is grounded in reality, not in abstract dogma, yet it seeks the transcendent, every bit as earnestly - perhaps even more so - then architecture that is built on pure theory. It is the way space, texture, light, materials actually feel that motivates these architects, and it is their skill at manipulating these elements that gives their work the rigor and strength it possesses. This architecture is marked by a sense of a self-assured and sensual presence, shaped by light, texture, materiality and scale. It should almost go without saying at this point that in an age in which most architects actively seek to achieve the identity of a "look," Olson Sundberg's work eschews simple similarities. Certain principles are evident from one building to another, as is the absence of direct historical replication, but consistency is not the same as a packageable style. Indeed, a single, easily identifiable style is something that these architects not only do not have but seem actively to discourage, as if its presence could be taken as a sign that their firm was not sufficiently cognizant of the widely varying demands that are inherent in different clients' programs, sites and esthetic preferences. They seem determined to prove that consistency of belief need not yield similarity of visual appearance – and that it is possible to produce a coherent body of work that does not look precisely the same." Excerpted from the introduction written by Paul Goldberger.

Challenging much of the traditional wisdom about modernism and the avant-garde, Hays argues that a rigorously articulated 'posthumanist' position was actually developed in the modernist architecture of Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Hilberseimer. He reinterprets their buildings, projects, and writings as constructions of this new category of subjectivity.

This extensive publication provides the first chronological presentation of 20th century Austrian architecture in English. Using over 100 carefully selected buildings the roots, traditions and conditions from which Austrian architecture has developed are made accessible. A concise overview of building activities in the 20th century is conveyed, using over 900 documents, largely unpublished photographs and sketches, drawings and models. A particularly important feature of this chronological survey lies in highlighting Austria's contribution to contemporary architecture.

SweaterLodge, un projet de Pechet and Robb Studio de Vancouver, a été sélectionné par un concours national avec jury pour représenter le Canada à l’édition 2006 de la Biennale de Venise en architecture. La 10ième édition de cette Biennale, qui est la plus prestigieuse manifestation d’architecture du monde, sera présentée de septembre à novembre 2006, à Venise en Italie. SweaterLodge explore l’influence de la culture des loisirs et de la nature sur la vie urbaine à Vancouver. L’élément majeur de SweaterLodge est un abri géant en molleton Polarfleece fait de fibres plastiques provenant de canettes recyclées. Suspendu à l’intérieur du pavillon canadien, ce vêtement abrite les visiteurs, comme un grand cocon orange. Les visiteurs qui entrent dans ce grand chandail peuvent assister à des projections de films numériques montrant des capsules d’une ville où nature sauvage et vie urbaine s’entremêlent. Chaque projection est activée par un spectateur qui pédale sur un vélo stationnaire : plus il pédale vite, plus la bande vidéo passe rapidement. Les caisses d’expédition et les bagages utilisés pour le transport de l’exposition se transformeront pour devenir le mobilier du pavillon, SweaterLodge présupposant un avenir où les objets seront polyvalents : un chandail se convertit en abri, des bagages deviennent des sofas, et des vélos, des projecteurs. Ces éléments mis ensemble brossent le portrait d’une ville où le culte de la nature et la culture urbaine s’imbriquent le plus souvent de manière riche et surprenante.

Summary:
The concepts of "Indonesian architecture" and "architecture in Indonesia" are both quite difficult to pin down. For the architecture of this small country incorporates influences from many important cultures--from India, China and the Middle East to countries in the West--and is therefore extremely multifaceted. In fact, one might reasonably ask whether a "real" Indonesian architecture actually exists, even with reference to the country's vernacular work, which is highly diverse from an ethnic perspective in and of itself. The quest for an authentic Indonesian architecture has in fact been the subject of debate among architects there for many years, especially in regards to the work has been exported to other countries--in particular, its former colonizer, the Netherlands. (In fact, there is even a name for the hybrid style that originated during that era: Indische).This very nicely designed collection of illustrated essays, which features a special section of pictures and drawings of colonial architecture, provides a real sense of the diversity of building in modern-day Indonesia--while at the same time recognizing that such a perspective cannot be productive without taking history into account. With chapters on Modern Indonesian architecture, vernacular traditions, mosques, the effect of the Chinese diaspora, hybrid historic/contemporary Balinese architecture, the colonial period, Indische architecture and Art Deco and more, this publication provides an amazing overview and a long-overdue investigation of Indische work. Preface by Aaron Betsky.
