En quête d'autres manières de vivre et de construire, elle développe une architecture marginale de maisons flottantes, de cabanes dans les arbres, de structures légères et éphémères ou de dômes géodésiques, fondée sur des principes d'autoconstruction et d'autonomie énergétique.

C'est que la méthode de Colin Rowe est singulière : faisant fi des contextes culturel et historique, il procède à des rapprochements, voire à des juxtapositions d'édifices que des siècles séparent. Il confronte ainsi des réalisations de Palladio et de Le Corbusier, l'architecture moderne au maniérisme et au néo-classicisme, les arts plastiques à l'architecture (notamment dans l'article-manifeste "Transparence : littérale et phénoménale "). Il aborde aussi des sujets comme l'architecture de l'utopie, l'École de Chicago ou les " vicissitudes du vocabulaire architectural au xlxe siècle".

“All that really exists is past futures”, ones set in motion in times preceding our own. The publication begins with this hypothesis, with project authors Alain Bublex and Elie During going on to formulate ideas, perform research and collect and present materials that, in the process, consolidates and makes concrete these futures nurtured by bygone ages. This richly illustrated book first deals with the future as a concept, for instance, as seen in the evolution of industrial objects, then goes on to address the notion of retro-futurism through an investigation of this underlying trend of contemporary culture, from science fiction to pop music, and from architecture to fashion and design.

In just ten years, Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample have established MOS as one of the leading young architecture practices in the country. Selected Works, the first monograph on the built work of the New York–based firm, follows the design studio's evolution from their earliest works to their most celebrated houses and institutional buildings. The thirty-two projects featured range from the sophisticated to the absurd—from the serene Floating House in Ontario, Canada, and the sustainable Kathmandu Orphanage in Nepal to the playful puppet theater at Harvard's Carpenter Center and the appropriately named Rainbow Vomit installation in New York, a digital, interactive, computational heap of building blocks in a constant state of near collapse. The collection also includes a selection of the couple's unorthodox writings, including their satirical "Office Policy" employee manual.

Summary:
Andrea Palladio is unquestionably the most important architect in the Western world: his carefully proportioned, pedimented designs are the foundations for most single-family homes and public buildings in the United States and Europe. In 1776, architect and scholar Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi began documenting and analyzing Palladio's designs, which were published in four volumes as Le fabbriche e i disegni di Andrea Palladio. Gathered together here for the first time in English in a single volume, The Buildings and Designs of Andrea Palladio is the complete works of Palladio, from his well-known villas of the Veneto to his lesser-known engineering structures, such as bridges. Featuring the highest quality printing and binding, this large-format stunner features more than two hundred reproductions and showcases Palladio's designs for villas, churches, and civic buildings, and for the first time, the English translation of Scamozzi's introduction to Palladio's remarkable oeuvre.

But the city has also attracted its share of eccentrics and mavericks who have left an architectural legacy that remains unsurpassed for its originality and international influence. This book examines the impact that architects and designers have had on the desert oasis, primarily from the 1940s to the 1960s. Palm Springs Modern features examples of midcentury modernism at its most glamorous, some of them the residences of prominent figures who commissioned weekend getaways in the desert, including Frank Sinatra, Walter Annenberg, and Raymond Loewy.
