Summary:
"Crafting a Modern World" is the first comprehensive book in English on Antonin and Noémi Raymond, a duo that creatively transformed design from 1917 to 1966. Best known for a series of finely detailed structures built in Japan during the 1930s, the Raymonds had prolific careers that included designs for factories, office buildings, churches, and schools as well as furniture, fabrics, and graphic design. The Raymonds combined their European modern roots with the vernacular craft traditions they discovered in regions as diverse as Japan, India, and rural Pennsylvania. They also collaborated with some of the twentieth century's leading thinkers and artists, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Cass Gilbert, Isamu Noguchi, George Nakashima, and Fernand Léger. Inspired by the conventions of traditional Japanese buildings, they brought a high level of attention to craft to all their work, from churches in Chicago and Karuizawa to the Tokyo Tennis Club, the Pacific Cable Company Station in Guam, the Golconde Dormitory in India, and houses throughout the northeastern U.S., including their own modernist interventions at a rural farmhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Four essays round out this examination of the Raymonds' careers.

Avec la création d’un site à Metz, il fait franchir une nouvelle étape à la politique de diffusion extérieure engagée en 1997, lors de ses travaux de rénovation. Le projet messin se veut un exemple ambitieux de décentralisation. L’institution messine va bénéficier, en 2007, d’un projet architectural choisi au terme d’un concours international d’architecture, comme l’avait été, en son temps, le bâtiment de Paris conçu par Renzo Piano et Richard Rogers. Ce projet situé dans le quartier de l’Amphithéâtre, s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un vaste programme de rénovation urbaine engagé par la Ville de Metz.

De nombreux aspects de la maison chinoise ont bien entendu déjà été étudiés et commentés, mais ce que vise cette étude, c’est à montrer et expliquer comment, dans l’architecture et l’aménagement de la maison, tout se tient et forme un système technique cohérent ; comment les questions de charpenterie, de disposition des édifices, de décoration intérieure et extérieure, d’aménagement des cours et des voiries, se raccordent entre elles ; comment « grande architecture » et architecture « vernaculaire » s’articulent.

Summary:
The 1960s and 1970s avant-garde has been likened to an ''architectural Big Bang'', such was the intensity of energy and ambition in which it exploded into the postwar world. Marked out by architectural projects that redefined the discipline, it remains just as influential today.

Summary:
The 1960s and 1970s avant-garde has been likened to an ''architectural Big Bang'', such was the intensity of energy and ambition in which it exploded into the postwar world. Marked out by architectural projects that redefined the discipline, it remains just as influential today. References to the likes of Archizoom, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk and Superstudio abound. Highly diverse, the avant-garde cannot be defined as a single strand or tendency. It was divergent geographically – reaching from Europe to North America and Japan – and in its political, formal and cultural preoccupations. It was unified, though, as a critical and experimental force, critiquing contemporary society against the backdrop of extreme social and political upheaval: the Paris riots of May 1968, the anti-Vietnam war movement in America and the looming ecological crisis.

Summary:
"At one with nature" showcases Ken Yeang’s latest ideas, built projects designs, research work and advances in the field of designing with nature, a topic that Yeang has pioneered and developed over many decades since receiving his doctorate in ecological design and planning from Cambridge University. His ideas and work are even more pertinent today with the current state of devastation of Earth’s natural systems and a biogeochemical cycle that has been extensively and severely impacted by human society. The global environment today is in a state of crisis, but what can society do to address the issues? Yeang’s recent projects are presented with instructive diagrams that provide a basis for action for architects, planners, designers, engineers, and anyone whose daily work impinges on the natural environment. Offered in a highly visual, annotated format, with instructive illustrations of Yeang’s theoretical books on the topic, "At one with nature" is an invaluable resource that students and academics interested in designing with nature will find both informative and relevant.
