Summary:
À travers la présentation de lieux de culture et de loisirs publics à Montréal et Toronto, cet ouvrage examine certaines des expériences de l’espace urbain, les manières de le vivre, de l’imaginer, de se l’approprier. Parcs, terrains de jeux, bibliothèques, jardins botaniques, lieux de villégiature : voilà autant d’espaces qui ont contribué à la fabrication des milieux urbains contemporains. Ils constituent, encore aujourd’hui, des points de repère et des lieux d’ancrage qui offrent un sens de continuité à l’histoire des villes. Aménagés à partir du moment où les villes se transforment sous l’effet de l’industrialisation, les lieux de culture et de loisirs vont contribuer à la redéfinition de l’espace public. Propices à la rencontre et à la sociabilité, ils participent du brassage des populations propre à cette époque et donnent vie et contenu à la notion de culture publique qui s’élabore au même moment. Ce qui confère à ces espaces leur caractère public, c’est aussi le fait qu’ils ont été conçus par les pouvoirs municipaux dont le rôle est également mis en lumière par l’analyse comparée de Montréal et Toronto. Reconstituant les circonstances de la mise en œuvre des espaces de culture et de loisirs publics dans ces deux villes, l’ouvrage s’attarde aux riches débats entourant leur élaboration tout comme aux diverses manières de se les approprier et d’en faire usage. L’étude de ces lieux en milieu urbain est complétée par celle de la villégiature en milieu suburbain, révélant ainsi la centralité du rôle accordé à la nature dans les diverses façons de faire et de fuir la ville.

Rather than having an unvarying style, these houses aim at the sometimes elusive ideal of the specific. Each house tackles a different design challenge, using site as the physical and metaphysical foundation upon which to build. Fusing building and situation, Holl creates a unique expression in each home. Beautiful and innovative, the houses span the globe, ranging from a secluded location in Hawaii, to the Catskill Mountains of New York, to Martha's Vineyard, to the Hague in the Netherlands. Each project is accompanied by Holl's charming watercolor building studies as well as an insightful explanation of how he was inspired by the land upon which the house sits and how the sumptuous materials utilized reflect the spirit of the location.

Summary:
Although internationally known for his furniture, for his iconic Schröder House and for his relationship to the members of De Stijl, Gerrit Th. Rietveld developed a prolific career as an architect after his Neo-Plasticist phase in the 1920s. This double issue of 2G takes another look at Rietveld's domestic built work from his first Neo-Plasticist buildings of the 1920s to his death in 1964. In it we discover a trajectory which, without renouncing the Neo-Plasticist precepts of his early days, gradually takes on a more domestic and everyday cast in direct rapport with his clients. Along with his endeavours as a cabinetmaker, the issue of suburban single-family housing constituted a fundamental mainstay in his trajectory, one in which the everyday is intermingled with spatial exploration. The revisit to this less-known oeuvre of Rietveld's is preceded by essays by Marijke Kuper (editor of this issue), Hans Ibelings and Wim Quist, and culminates in the nexus section with various texts by the architect himself.

Summary:
Depuis plusieurs années, je souhaitais rassembler quelques réflexions sur la notion de simplicité, telle qu'elle peut être mise en œuvre dans l'art et l'architecture et, plus généralement, dans la vie. Avec cet ouvrage, mon but est d'établir l'idée de " minimum " comme un mode de pensée, une manière de vivre et de travailler. La quête individuelle pour la liberté liée à l'ordre et à la quiétude a toujours existé à travers l'histoire. La plupart d'entre nous a, à un moment de son existence, ressenti le besoin de se défaire du superflu et de repartir à zéro. Pourtant, même s'ils convoitent ou collectent des biens matériels, les hommes sont souvent tentés par l'idée de voyager léger. Les grands créateurs d'œuvres, qu'elles soient artistiques, architecturales ou musicales, ont compris le principe de la présence de l'absence : en le réduisant à l'essentiel, l'objet créé gagne en clarté, en qualité et en force. Cette pensée se retrouve à travers divers pays et cultures. Bien que de nombreux ouvrages aient été consacrés à des sujets équivalents - tels que la communauté Shaker, le nomadisme bédouin et l'architecture cistercienne - aucun livre, jusqu'à présent, n'a réuni tous les aspects de ce thème. -John Pawson

While providing a panoramic overview the book also shows how each project was individually developed out of its physical and social context, with its form being a result of func- tional, technical, spatial and sculptural considerations.

Summary:
Richard Meier, one of America's most influential and widely emulated architects, began his career in the early 1960s designing private residential projects, whose elegant modernist style and white facades have become icons of modern architecture. Renowned as the designer of large-scale works around the world, including the Jubilee Church in Rome and the Getty Center in Los Angeles, Meier has set an international style all his own based on the purity and power of his unique vision. This beautifully photographed volume is the first to document Meier's complete catalogue of museum and gallery projects, including the seminal High Museum in Atlanta (recently featured on a U.S. postage stamp in a series that includes the Guggenheim Museum and the Chrysler Building), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills, the Getty Center, and the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome. Richard Meier Museums presents these and other celebrated projects in stunning full-color interior and exterior photography and extensive drawings and plans to give the fullest understanding of this modernist master's remarkable contribution to the art of museum design.

Summary:
With the advent of Prairie style architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright embarked on a journey that would forever change the course of architecture. During this extraordinarily prolific period, roughly the first quarter of the twentieth century, Wright built the first great modern American houses. He cast aside many of the conventions of the past, opening up interior spaces so that there might be a more subtle flow of rooms. The plans for Prairie style architecture were based on a tartan plaid of main spaces and secondary spaces, of public rooms and circulation spaces. Their decentralized asymmetry did not follow the Beaux Arts insistence on a primary, often dominating, focal point—a vestige of its roots as a symbolic architecture for divine-right royalty. Following Wright's philosophy, Prairie design was emphatically democratic and non-hierarchical. Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Houses comprehensively demonstrates this philosophy. Focusing on interiors and details, the book features more than 70 Prairie style houses and other buildings, still extant, in lavish, full-color photography.

Summary:
Perhaps more than any other architect practicing today, Peter Eisenman has made a career out of devising a dialectic of oppositions in architecture. With references to societal alienation and existing architectural forms, his work derives much from Friedrich Nietzsche, Noam Chomsky, and Jacques Derrida. He led the loosely knit group of architects known as "The New York Five" (which included John Hejduk, Michael Graves, Charles Gwathmey, and Richard Meier), who made an effort to introduce a theory and artistry of modernist architecture as rigorous as that of the European avant-garde. This is the first comprehensive single-volume overview ever published on Eisenman's buildings and projects, from his first work, House I (1960), to his most recent projects, currently under construction in Spain and Germany. The book includes all the projects Eisenman has created, with essays from international architects and critics, including Greg Lynn, Sanford Kwinter, and Stan Allen.Eisenman currently teaches at New York's Cooper Union and at Princeton University. He has designed a wide range of projects, including the Wexner Center at Ohio State University, which received a 1993 National Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects, and the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, which opened in spring 2005.
