Summary:
The act of building and its material reality play a defining role in the work of Swiss architect Roger Boltshauser. His architectural language thus develops in the context of the examination of materials and their intrinsic constructive and structural possibilities. Edited by architect and lecturer Martin Tschanz, this monograph examines how Boltshauser’s architecture is neither an implementation of a pictorial idea nor a display of a certain principle. Rather, it is integrative and open to complexity, particularly that of the act of building itself. Contrary to the abstractness of modernism and neo-modernism and the arbitrariness of free forms, his is a unique, contemporary expression.

He had far fewer commissions than his contemporary Frank Lloyd Wright, but with a few bold and innovative structures — the Glasgow School of Art and Hill House among them —he had a profound influence on art and architecture at the turn of the twentieth century. Like Wright, Mackintosh designed in totality, down to the furniture and fabrics used in his structures, and he was influenced by the Japanese, particularly in the simplicity of his designs and themes from nature. This publication contains both historic photographs and modern images of Mackintosh’s major works taken by architectural photographer Mark Fiennes.

The houses that are profiled here all represent striking, cost-effective, functional solutions located "at the edge of possibility"—remote locations previously deemed unbuildable, sites that face extreme environmental conditions, or simply, designs so daringly provocative that they are literally at the extremity of contemporary architecture. Each project shares the same basic design brief: build as small and efficiently as possible, harmonize with the site, use natural heating/cooling techniques, and, above all, combine aesthetic beauty with ecological sensitivity.

The publication begins with this hypothesis, with project authors Alain Bublex and Elie During going on to formulate ideas, perform research and collect and present materials that, in the process, consolidates and makes concrete these futures nurtured by bygone ages. This richly illustrated book first deals with the future as a concept, for instance, as seen in the evolution of industrial objects, then goes on to address the notion of retro-futurism through an investigation of this underlying trend of contemporary culture, from science fiction to pop music, and from architecture to fashion and design.

Summary:
What began as a simple letter--a mid-career architect's comments to a young writer--turned into a 32-year correspondence, by turns amusing, inflamed, and conciliatory. Frank Lloyd Wright and Lewis Mumford, two pivotal figures in 20th-century American architecture and urbanism, were both passionate writers, keenly aware of world events. Their 150 letters from 1926-1958 covered a wide range of topics, including Wright's position in the history of American architecture and contemporary practice, their friends and rivals, the invention and spread of the International Style, and political events in Europe and the US. A fallout over isolationist politics in the early 1940s led to a 10-year gap in their exchange, and when it resumed the two were on an entirely different footing: Wright, the elder dean of American architecture at the height of his creative powers, and Mumford, an established critic in late middle age deeply committed to rebuilding a humanist outlook in the aftermath of World War II. Frank Lloyd Wright & Lewis Mumford offers an intimate look inside the minds and hearts of these two cultural giants, deepening our understanding of the men and the society they helped shape.

It is the fascinating story of a man and his struggle to build in a modern style in Britain in the face of contemporary opposition. Today, opposition to his buildings, particularly Trellick Tower, is turning to admiration. 2 Willow Road, his own house, was recently acquired by the National Trust - its first modern property. A century after his birth his buildings are achieving heritage status. This book tells the story of Goldfinger's life in architecture which raises profound questions about the role of architecture in British society and the political and moral values that buildings can embody. In writing this important new book, Nigel Warburton researched the extensive archive of Goldfinger's writing, office papers, models and drawings held in the RIBA Collection and also interviewed people who knew and worked with him.

Summary:
This beautifully designed and illustrated monograph sets out Patrick Tighe's innovative, diverse and wide-ranging collection of contemporary work towards the post-digital, showing the reader a hyper-detailed analytical investigation of digital forms and their practices. It sets out how his architecture has brought a return to the real in an attempt to rethink the language and practice of architecture. The book's many inspiring and intricate drawings render clear the ideas that show the palpable energy and momentum that exists in this practice. In every instance, this firm embraces dichotomy, mining its potential to produce a more vital and consequential architecture.This monograph also includes an incisive introduction by Patrick Tighe and is augmented by two essays by Thom Mayne and Stephen Phillips, who also provide clarity and insightful discourse on how Tighe's work is continuously in transition and evolving, and how he's rethinking and engaging in a discourse to de-familiarize the familiar.
