Summary:
Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima of Atelier Bow-Wow have built a career confronting the challenges posed by dense urban environments. Their city houses—enclosed in vibrant, idiosyncratic forms—are distinguished by their capacity to accommodate the changing needs of the occupants. A basic feature is the permeability of interior spaces, where public and the more intimate places co-mingle, often in vertical structures with a total floor area that rarely exceeds 200 square meters. Atelier Bow-Wow has a dedicated research division that has published a number of treatises on vernacular architecture. This book will feature their newest research, including plans, as well as explorations on mobile or portable projects. The book includes key projects such as the Mini House, The Sway House, the Juicy House, House and Atelier Bow-Wow, the House Tower, and the Aco House.

Summary:
Second unrevised edition of the 2008 monograph The book is not a typical book. It consists of plates that can be opened, one after the other. Each plate is connected to the overall book by the continuous text, to the architect’s drive through the images of an iconographic autobiography, and to his works themselves through photos and rendering. As a book, it is primarily a piece of work in its own right, an image that evokes new images in the viewer. Since the end of the 1990s, Valerio Olgiati has been regarded as one of the most independent and exceptional exponents of Swiss architecture. The book compiles all his important buildings and projects since 1996.

Summary:
Attentifs au contexte culturel de leurs interventions (comme la tradition du Véda en Inde) et à l'héritage de l'architecture moderne (tour Opus 12, La Défense), les architectes Denis Valode et Jean Pistre conçoivent la tour comme un objet de recherche à la fois fonctionnel et esthétique qui doit répondre aux exigences de l'urbanité de demain : respecter l'environnement, économiser l'énergie et réduire l'emprise au sol, inventer des manières d'habiter les hauteurs. Certaines tours se peuplent d'arbres et de jardins (tour Generali, La Défense), d'autres inscrivent dans leur dessin la course du soleil (tour Saint-Denis, Saint-Denis/Aubervilliers). À travers douze exemples, douze tours réalisées par l'agence Valode & Pistre dans le monde entier (Russie, Liban, France, Inde, Chine), Éric Reinhardt révèle les principes et les valeurs qui fondent leur architecture.
