Summary:
The rooms we live in are always more than just four walls. As we decorate these spaces and fill them with objects and friends, they shape our lives and become the backdrop to our sense of self. One day, the houses will be gone, but even then, traces of the stories and the memories they contained will remain. In this dazzling work of imaginative re-construction, Edward(...)

The rooms we live in are always more than just four walls. As we decorate these spaces and fill them with objects and friends, they shape our lives and become the backdrop to our sense of self. One day, the houses will be gone, but even then, traces of the stories and the memories they contained will remain. In this dazzling work of imaginative re-construction, Edward Hollis takes us to the sites of five great spaces now lost to history and pieces together the fragments he finds there to re-create their vanished chambers.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage de flâneur porte témoignage, au fil des jours, sur un réseau spatial qui est aussi un espace humain. Durant cinq ans, j’ai en effet plongé mes racines et déployé mes antennes dans l’archipel des parcs montréalais. Il en ressort un patchwork de moments de parcs où les sens et la sensibilité furent sollicités. C’est d’ailleurs ce que signifie le titre de ce livre, que les parcs y sont saisis dans les moments de leur fréquentation. Voici donc onze douzaines de fragments aussi autonomes qu’interdépendants, en quelque sorte des stances de flâneur portées par le dessein de côtoyer, sans souci d’exhaustivité ni de synthèse, cette part du monde qu’est le familier quotidien.

Summary:
Architects Mikael Bergquist and Olof Michélsen explore the evolution of Frank’s designs for single-family homes over the years, and they investigate the influences that shaped his work, such as Adolf Loos’s “spatial plan” concept, Le Corbusier’s ideas, and Hermann Muthesius’s groundbreaking book The English House. The authors also look at Frank’s architectural concepts of movement and his use of stairs in residential buildings. The book also includes an in-depth examination of six of Frank’s houses, including both built projects— the Villas Claëson and Wehtje in Falsterbo, Sweden, and Villa Beer in Vienna—and unrealized ones—House for Vienna XIII, House MS in Los Angeles, and Fantasy House 9 (Accidental House). This section includes images and plans of each of the houses and a close analysis of their specific characteristics. A complete catalog of Frank’s single-family houses rounds out the book.
