Summary:
On a souvent discouru sur leur contenu des activités, sur la manière de bâtir, sur le contexte de leur apparition mais rarement sur la mise en forme de bâtiments. Or ce qui fait la spécificité de cet art de la combinatoire c'est le travail de mise en forme, de conjuguer des éléments hétérogènes bref ce qu'on appelle couramment créer alors que le terme approprié est composer. Dans ce volume, les planches montrent les plans et les tracés de trois bâtiments: Maison Fisher, Louis I. Kahn; Villa Müller, Adolf Loos et Karel Lotha; Projet pour une résiedence à Avignon, François Franque.

Summary:
With texts by Peter Buchanan, Brian Carter, Thomas Fisher, Kenneth Frampton, Karl Habermann, Robert Ivy, Christine Macy, Robert McCarter, Juhani Pallasmaa. The Ghost International Architectural Laboratory, better known as 'Ghost Lab' or 'Ghost', is the research laboratory of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. The Ghost Lab began as a critique of architectural education in North America in the 1990s and represents an alternative to the current standard of practice. Ghost is rooted in the hands-on master-builder tradition, emphasizing an intimate interaction between master and apprentice in response to the increasingly virtual nature of architectural design.
