Summary:
Canada's foremost architectural office Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, founded in 1987 in Toronto, is one of most innovative architectural offices in North America today. They have made a name for themselves both for their integrated design process embodying collaboration with experts, clients and future users as well as the diversity of aesthetically refined and finely detailed designs. The work ranges from cultural institutions such as the Toronto International Film Festival and Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to ecologically innovative concepts such as Manitoba Hydro Place in Winnipeg. A respectful approach toward the integration of heritage buildings is also a characteristic feature, illustrated by the designs for the Royal Conservatory and the Gardiner Museum in Toronto. Finally, educational and research facilities are a strong focus in KPMB's work, exemplified by campus projects in in Waterloo, Toronto, and Montréal, as well as future projects for the MIT and Princeton.

Summary:
How and why Palladio has become the most influential architect of the Renaissance and beyond.For more than four and a half centuries, his works have continuously provided a touchstone for architects, not only in the Veneto, where architects were able to scrutinize his works firsthand, but abroad as well. Indeed, his followers are legion; however, the manner in which his oeuvre has been interpreted varied considerably according to time and place. His successors have ranged from those advocating a return to classical orthodoxy to those who have sought to borrow from his work more freely. Yet as the call for architectural reform grew ever more urgent over the course of the eighteenth century, this polysemy came to be overshadowed by a rationalized classical interpretation of Palladio's work.

Summary:
L'ouvrage présente une succession de projets, réalisés ou en cours. Les opérations présentées alternent les échelles - de l'urbanisme à l'architecture -, les typologies et les formes architecturales. Certains projets auront alors une expression forte tandis que d'autres, plus effacés, s'affirmeront par des qualités différentes. Chacun constitue un cas particulier qui actualise la démarche. Cette dernière comprend trois axes qui donnent toute leur consistance aux projets : une prise en charge de l'hétérogène (chercher), un axe de convergence avec les acteurs (transmettre), plan de réalisation (construire). Au long de l'ouvrage, les témoignages de protagonistes ou d'utilisateurs accompagnent la présentation de quelques réalisations pour mettre en valeur un point de vue particulier.
