Sous l'impulsion d'une génération d'architectes irakiens jeunes et brillants, formés en Occident, l'Irak se bâtit à grande échelle et des concours invitent les plus grands noms de l'architecture internationale : Gio Ponti, Werner March, Walter Gropius, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Marinus Dudok, etc. En 1956, Le Corbusier se voit commander une cité olympique mais seul le gymnase, sur lequel il a travaillé en détail jusqu'à sa mort, a été terminé en 1980, selon les plans d'origine, par l'un de ses anciens collaborateurs. Le présent ouvrage dévoile cette histoire étonnante à l'aide de documents totalement inédits, anciens et récents, et montre comment, à Bagdad, ce monumental vaisseau de béton a toujours fait fonction, envers et contre tout, de double symbole : jeunesse et modernité.

Il s’agissait de faire connaître au public américain les développements récents de l’avant-garde notamment européenne ; les auteurs avaient pu observer lors de voyages les nouvelles recherches de Alvar Aalto, André Lurçat, E.G.?Asplund, Erich Mendelsohn, Erik Bryggman, Hans Scharoun, J.J.P.?Oud, Josef Albers, Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer, Mies van der Rohe, Otto Eisler ou Walter Gropius qui le premier avait déjà réuni en 1925 les exemples récents les plus significatifs de l’architecture européenne et nord-américaine. Le projet du livre, s’attachant à illustrer et à défendre l’architecture moderne d’avant-garde, participait d’un mouvement général qui tendait à une codification architecturale.

Architectural spaces are anchors for our memory. We find our place in the room by means of our sensory perception; the brain makes use of surfaces and spatial systems in order to organize the world we live in. Taking this principle as a given, this volume tracks what happens when the results of recent neuroscientific research are applied to architectural practice. In this volume, architectural theorist Christoph Metzger analyzes buildings designed by Alvar Aalto, Sou Fujimoto, Hugo Häring, Philip Johnson, Hermann Muthesius, Juhani Pallasmaa, James Stirling, Frank Lloyd Wright and Peter Zumthor in order to develop criteria for a modern, human-focused architecture that builds on neuroscientific knowledge. "Neuroarchitecture" links neuroscience, perception theory and Gestalt psychology, as well as music, art and architecture, in a holistic approach that focuses on the laws of structure formation and the movement of the individual within architectural space.

Militant communiste, il rejoint dès 1941 les rangs de la Résistance sous le nom de Lucien Hervé. Proche de l’école française humaniste d’après-guerre, sa carrière prend un tournant décisif en 1949 lorsque, grâce au Père Couturier, ami de Matisse, il rencontre Le Corbusier. Photographe attitré de l’architecte jusqu’au décès de ce dernier en 1965, il collabore, entre autres, avec Alvar Aalto et Oscar Niemeyer, et est également reconnu pour ses images de l’abbaye du Thoronet et de l’Escorial. Son œuvre a été exposée dans de nombreux musées et galeries à travers le monde. Dans cet entretien, réalisé avec l'aide de Federico Nicolao, il revisite avec sincérité et passion ses années de travail.

Summary:
Architecture is usually analysed and taught as a discipline that articulates space and geometry, but the mental impact of architecture arises significantly from its image quality that integrates the various aspects and dimensions of experience into a singular, internalised and remembered entity. The material reality is fused with our mental and imaginative realm. The book is organised into five main parts that look at in turn: the image in contemporary culture; language, thought and the image; the many faces of the image; the poetic image; and finally the architectural image. The Embodied Image is illustrated with over sixty images in pairs, which are diverse in subject. Artworks span Michelangelo and Vermeer to Gordon Matta-Clark and architecture takes in Modern Masters such as Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto, as well as significant contemporary works by Steven Holl and Daniel Libeskind.

Stylish and practical, plywood offers huge possibilities for experimental design, and it has been used to make a wide range of products, from aeroplanes, boats and automobiles to architecture and furniture. This book traces the history of plywood from its use in 18th-century furniture, through its emergence as an industrial product in the 19th century, to a material celebrated by 20th-century modernists such as Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames. An ideal material for the digital age, plywood has become popular again in recent years and is widely used in contemporary design and manufacture. Produced to accompany an exhibition at the V, this book is the first comprehensive study of the history of plywood and its myriad applications throughout the ages, unveiling the stories behind objects that surround us and that we often take for granted.

Summary:
Celebrating the ultimate masterpieces of modernist design, from the Arts and Crafts movement up to the twenty-first century, Total Design offers an intimate tour of houses conceived as complete works of art. Each of the spectacular houses making up Total Design demonstrates how an architect realized a unifying vision through all aspects of design—architecture, furniture, fittings, decorative objects, color, and gardens. Presenting masterpieces of modern architecture conceived as complete works of art inside and out, author George H. Marcus, a veteran chronicler of modernist design, delivers a highly accessible tour of the creations of some of the twentieth century’s greatest architects and designers, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and Gio Ponti. Together these masterworks of design offer a stunning survey of the many modes of modernist design, from the inventive refinement of Pierre Chareau to the colorful Nordic forms of Finn Juhl to the twenty-first-century expressionism of Daniel Libeskind.

Stoller (1915–2004) elevated architectural photography to an art form, capturing the mood of numerous buildings in their best light. Living and working in New York from the early 1940s to the mid-1970s, Stoller photographed buildings by such architects as Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Marcel Breuer, Paul Rudolph, and Louis I. Kahn. His striking images earned him the admiration of critics and contemporaries, but few people are aware of the stunning breadth of his oeuvre, which also included domestic and industrial spaces and important editorial depictions of American labor in the 1950s and 1960s. Ezra Stoller, Photographer, a survey of Stoller's artistic accomplishments, examines the photographer's full range with a fresh eye and unprecedented scope, offering a unique commentary on postwar America's changing landscape.

Summary:
The Classroom shows how furniture designers from the late nineteenth century to the present have strived to enliven the classroom experience for children, telling for the first time the history of this neglected area of furniture design. The book is based on the collection of the VS school museum in Tauberbischofsheim, which houses a unique collection of school furniture from Germany and abroad. Through this collection, it draws out the history of educational theory and school architecture over the past hundred years, tracing the ascent of a child-centered approach to education and attendant developments in design, as well as such topics as the use of propaganda in Soviet- and Nazi-era schools. Chairs, desks, classrooms and entire schools by Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Jean-Baptiste Mathon, Jean Prouvé, Eero + Eliel Saarinen and Bruno Taut are abundantly illustrated and examined. The Classroom looks back over this history and looks forward to possible future developments.
