Essays by Dietmar Steiner (director of the Architekturzentrum in Vienna), Yehuda Safran (professor at Columbia University, New York) and Wolf Prix (architect, Vienna) shed light on the process of moving from idea to phenomenon, from the first sketch - in this case from Steven Holl's water-colour drawings - to construction.

Summary:
Cet essai veut apporter une contribution à l'analyse de la modernité. Il se situe dans une perspective phénoménologique, tout en étant plus proche de la pensée de Lévinas que de celle de Heidegger. Au lieu de présenter la modernité comme un système rationnel, ce texte la décrit comme une "double rupture" avec l'intériorité : la modernité effectue une coupure souvent violente avec la tradition, et elle veut amener l'homme à une nouvelle manière d'être au monde. Plus que sous la forme d'une recherche d'autonomie, il faut donc concevoir la modernité en des termes d'inquiétude et d'espoir. L'architecture moderne, phénomène central de la modernité, vise à réformer le monde vécu afin de rendre possible une existence nouvelle, un "esprit nouveau". Les textes et les oeuvres de Le Corbusier expriment une telle volonté de briser les habitudes anciennes par la transformation de l'espace architectural et par la création d'une poésie nouvelle. L'essai situe la pensée de Le Corbusier dans l'horizon de l'idéologie moderne et l'on souligne la parenté de ses idées avec celles de Gide et de Nietzsche. La modernité veut concevoir l'homme comme un "être mondain" : mais par rapport à un modernisme excessif qui promeut l'idée d'une existence entièrement tournée vers le dehors,il s'agit de sauvegarder une distance au monde.

Henri Sauvage (1873-1932) s’affirme comme comme l’un des rares architectes à avoir parcouru l’arc créatif qui va de l’Art nouveau au Style international. Déterminé dans sa vocation d’architecte et de décorateur par la lecture de Viollet-le-Duc et par son amitié avec le sculpteur Alexandre Charpentier et l’architecte Frantz Jourdain, Sauvage réalise plusieurs œuvres dont la Villa Majorelle à Nancy, qui le consacre dès 1904 comme un des maîtres de l’Art nouveau. Associé de 1902 à 1916 à Charles Sarazin (1873-1950), il réalise des groupes d’habitations à bon marché ainsi que des immeubles de rapport et plusieurs établissements hôteliers. Les deux architectes ouvrent des succursales en France, en Espagne et au Mexique. Le célèbre immeuble revêtu de carrelages “métro” du 26 rue Vavin est réalisé selon un brevet déposé en 1912. Il sera suivi de la construction des nouveaux magasins de La Samaritaine et des grands magasins Decré à Nantes, un tour de force architectural en verre et métal érigé en trois mois.

Summary:
Antoni Gaudí is celebrated as one of the most important architects of the early 20th century. His unbelievable Art Nouveau buildings were marked by their whimsical design and fantastic details. While much has been written on this extraordinary figure, "Living Gaudí" is one of the few books to consider his gardens, parks and residential projects as a body of work, and one of the few to particularly focus on his designs for interior furnishings, which were part and parcel of his overall vision for a building. This littleknown aspect of his work is surveyed in this book with stunning photography and exquisite detail. The volume also includes a selection of the architect's own writings, which give the reader a revealing look at his incomparable genius. Complete with archival photographs and more than 150 fullcolor contemporary photographs, Gaudí's amazing talent is revealed in this landmark work.

Built in the 1950s and 1960s, these vacation homes reflected the idea of summer leisure for a generation more concerned with fun on the beach than ostentatious display. For clients in the Hamptons, on the Jersey shore, and in New England, Geller built dozens of houses, most of wood and most on modest budgets. Geller, who worked with Raymond Loewy and directed the design of such modernist landmarks as the Lever House in New York, combined a modern interest in light, breeze, and functional living with playful form-making.
