Summary:
Many schools have to contend with the tension between an inflexible building and constantly changing requirements for use. With this in mind, WiMBY! (Welcome into My Backyard!, a Rotterdam-based organization for revitalizing post-war housing areas) commissioned three designers to develop "SchoolParasites" as an attractive alternative to the usual trailer-type provisional classrooms. "SchoolParasites" are provisional structures, flexible in application and striking in design; the first three were erected in the Rotterdam suburb of Hoogvliet in spring 2004. The aim of the program is to put these models into production and to make them available to every school in the Netherlands and abroad. Not the Trailer documents the designs of Barend Koolhaas, Onix, and Christoph Seyferth. It also considers far-reaching questions on the interaction of education and architecture, on the inventiveness of the schools themselves, on permanence and temporariness, and on how intelligent, flexible solutions can play a role in the restructuring of post-war urban areas.

Summary:
Searching For Space is a cinematic portrait of Herman Hertzberger, one of the most important architects in The Netherlands. Conscientious and socially driven, Hertzberger has maintained that, whether designing a house, school or factory, it is not the building's architecture that concerns him but the human life and activity that will inhabit it. The profile investigates key questions around Hertzberger's life and work, such as his influences and inspirations, how his personal convictions manifest in his designs, and how he envisions his architecture contributing to effective society-building. The accompanying booklet contains illuminating texts by director Kees Hin and architect Maarten Kloos.

Summary:
Premier ouvrage consacré au travail de l'architecte bisontin, présentant ses constructions singulières dans leur contexte. Une cabane de pêcheurs, l'aménagement d'une halle de marché rural dans le cadre de la procédure des "Nouveaux commanditaires", une école, le hangar d'une ferme comtoise, une maison individuelle, des édifices mettant en œuvre les énergies renouvelables, dévoilent le processus d'une architecture radicale et conceptuelle attentive au lieu, au matériau, à la demande, au paysage, dépassant l'opposition entre local et universel. / This pubication is dedicated to the work of Adelfo Scaranello, an architect from Besançon, France, whose singular constructions are presented in their context : a fishing cabin, a covered farmer’s market, both included among the new commissions of the Fondation de France. Also included are a school, a barn, a residence, and examples of buildings employing natural energy sources. Each project reveals Scaranello’s conceptual process which is intrinsically related to site, materials, prerequisites, and landscape and which surpasses any notion of local versus international architecture.
