He is the only architect to have won the discipline`s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. His name is Tadao Ando, and he is one of the world`s greatest living architects. Combining influences from Japanese tradition with the best of Modernism, Ando has developed a completely unique building aesthetic that makes use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and nature in a way that has never been witnessed elsewhere in architecture. This book provides the perfect introduction to Ando`s work, including private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces throughout Japan, and in France, Italy, Spain, and the USA.

Summary:
A step-by-step guide to more synthetic, holistic, and integrated urban design strategies, Design Charrettes for Sustainable Communities is a practical manual to accomplish complex community design decisions and create more green, clean, and equitable communities. The design charrette has become an increasingly popular way to engage the public and stakeholders in public planning, and Design Charrettes for Sustainable Communities shows how citizens and officials can use this tool to change the way they make decisions, especially when addressing issues of the sustainable community. Designed to build consensus and cooperation, a successful charrette produces a design that expresses the values and vision of the community. Patrick Condon outlines the key features of the charrette, an inclusive decision-making process that brings together citizens, designers, public officials, and developers in several days of collaborative workshops. Drawing on years of experience designing sustainable urban environments and bringing together communities for charrettes, Condon’s manual provides step-by-step instructions for making this process work to everyone’s benefit. He translates emerging sustainable development concepts and problem-solving theory into concrete principles in order to explain what a charrette is, how to organize one, and how to make it work to produce sustainable urban design results.

Contrairement à une idée reçue persistante, faire appel à un architecte pour construire une maison individuelle n'est pas réservé à la frange la plus fortunée de la population. Nombre d'architectes sont aptes à réaliser des projets origiaux, dignes et respectueux des attentes de leurs clients, avec des budgets similaires à ceux aloués aux constructeurs pour bâtir leurs maisons types. Ce tome 2 consacré aux maisons d'architectes à prix de revient raisonnable adopte le principe qui a fait le succès du premier volume : une sélection commentée de 20 projets aux caractéristiques diverses, mais dont les qualités méritent d'être examinées par ceux qui envisagent de construire.

Summary:
Quiconque visite le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec ne peut s’empêcher de déambuler dans le bâtiment de l’ancienne prison des plaines, aujourd’hui reconvertie en pavillon muséal Charles-Baillairgé qui abrite des expositions permanentes. Peu de gens savent toutefois que la prison a été en activité jusqu’à l’automne 1970. Construite un siècle plus tôt dans le contexte d’une vaste réforme du système carcéral québécois, la prison des plaines devait être un modèle pénitentiaire. On pensait pouvoir y réhabiliter les déviants par le travail, la discipline et la morale religieuse. Mais entre la théorie et la pratique, il y aura un large fossé. Comme le souligne John R. Porter dans sa préface, cet établissement deviendra «un lieu où les préoccupations relatives à la sécurité et à l’hygiène des prisonniers prirent vite le pas sur les efforts de réhabilitation».
