Drawing from the roster of award-winning residences featured since 1956 in "Record houses", the magazine's prestigious “best of” annual issue, this revised and expanded edition of the 1996 Abrams book showcases more than 75 of the most innovative and influential houses built in the last 50 years. Designed by such luminaries as Philip Johnson, Richard Meier, Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, Frank Gehry, and the 2005 Pritzker Prize–winner Thom Mayne of Morphosis, these houses have helped shape the direction of residential architecture. Texts by six noted architectural writers provide commentary on the key trends and developments of residential architecture in the last half century, and each decade is represented by a portfolio of photographs, along with numerous plans and drawings.

Summary:
Inescapably controversial, the Holocaust Memorial Berlin (or, as it’s formally known, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe) is now finished, some 16 years after it was first proposed. Architect Peter Eisenman’s design, which filled a four-football-field-size parcel of land in the middle of Berlin with more than 2,700 concrete slabs, or stelae, was itself hotly debated, with some complaining that its abstractness, Eisenman’s trademark, made it a monument that evoked no memories. As the debates give way to accounts of the experience of the space, the readers of this book, produced with Eisenman’s cooperation, will be able to compare how successfully the architect’s conception matches the reality. This volume offers a full picture of the process from conceptual and architectural drawings and digital plans to photographs of construction. It holds the narrative of a difficult task, turning “the place of no meaning,” as Eisenman once referred to the site in the hopes of dispelling fears that he was trying to symbolize the deaths that took place during the Holocaust, into a confrontation with the past. Photographs by Hélène Binet and Lukas Wasserman.

Mais ceci ne serait rien encore si cette promenade qui aura eu pour fruit une telle séquence d'images, ne renouait, dans son cours apparemment imprévisible, avec ce qui pourrait bien avoir été (j'en forme l'hypothèse au vu de ces photographies) la dynamique propre de l'ouvrage, à le viser dans son développement architectural autant que programmatique. La réussite - si c'est là le mot qui convient : disons l'efficace - de la prise de vues se mesurant à celle (la prise conceptuelle) qu'elle assure sur l'objet, dans son opération même. Ce qui doit s'entendre dans le double sens qu'autorise la syntaxe : soit qu'on ait égard à l'opération qui est le fait de la photographie, ou que l'on prête attention à ce que celle-ci donne à voir du fonctionnement d'un objet dont la ruine agit en fait comme un révélateur.

He explores the philosophical and conceptual evolution of its ideas, discusses the relation of theory to the practice of building, and, most importantly, considers the words of the architects themselves as they contentiously shaped Western architecture. He also examines the compelling currents of French rationalist and British empiricist thought, radical reformation of the theory during the Enlightenment, and intellectual ambitions and historicist debates of the ninteenth century, and the distinctive varieties of modern theory in the twentieth century up to the profound social upheaval of the 1960s.

Summary:
Cities participate in the production of meaning by providing places populated with objects for words to refer to. Inscriptions on these objects (labels, billboards, newspapers, graffiti) provide another layer of meaning. And today, the flow of digital information - from one device to another in the urban scene - creates a digital network that also exists in physical space. "Placing Words" examines this emerging system of spaces, flows, and practices in a series of short essays - snapshots of the city in the twenty-first century. Mitchell questions the necessity of flashy downtown office towers in an age of corporate web sites. He casts the shocked-and-awed Baghdad as a contemporary Guernica. He describes architectural makeovers throughout history, listing Le Corbusier's Fab Five Points of difference between new and old architecture, and he discusses the architecture of Manolo Blahniks. He pens an open letter to the Secretary of Defense recommending architectural features to include in torture chambers. He compares Baudelaire, the Parisian flaneur, to Spiderman, the Manhattan traceur. He describes the iPod-like galleries of the renovated MoMA and he recognizes the camera phone as the latest step in a process of image mobilization that began when artists stopped painting on walls and began making pictures on small pieces of wood, canvas, or paper. The endless flow of information, he makes clear, is not only more pervasive and efficient than ever, it is also generating new cultural complexities.
