Summary:
Dans cet essai sur Livio Vacchini, Paolo Amaldi revisite le sens de son œuvre en s'appuyant d'un côté sur la genèse des projets au travers des documents d'archives et, de l'autre, sur de nombreux témoignages de collaborateurs et collègues qui l'ont croisé. L'auteur dégage le portrait intellectuel d'un protagoniste majeur de l'architecture du XXè siècle en l'inscrivant dans l'environnement culturel et architectural du Tessin à partir des années 1970. L'ambition est de renverser l'image monolithique de Vacchini en contrant l'idée selon laquelle ses édifices seraient, par leur aspect essentiel, voire schématique, la transcription ou la traduction d'idées ou de notions claires, ou le résultat de logiques constructives cohérentes. Les bâtiments de Vacchini apparaissent, bien au contraire, au fil des pages, comme des objets problématiques et paradoxaux dont l'évidence de la forme, telle qu'elle apparaît initialement, se dissout dès que commence l'expérience que nous en faisons.

Pour ses qualités, elle est labellisée en 2020 « Architecture contemporaine remarquable » par le ministère de la Culture. Caroline Mazel rend ici compte d'une partie de ses recherches, engagées de longue date autour de cet architecte, cofondateur avec André Grésy de l'agence AAA (Aquitaine Architectes Associés), qui a marqué la région par l'ampleur et la valeur de ses réalisations entre les années 1950 et 1980. Elle participe à l'enrichissement de la connaissance scientifique sur sa production et à sa reconnaissance, alors que dénaturation et destruction la mettent déjà en péril.

Summary:
Gumshoe is a new series of architectural books that introduces an original approach to the writing of architectural history. Emulating the detective novel, the focus is on actual buildings rather than on speculative designs and theories. The style and form are fresh and scholarly but also easy and enjoyable to read. In Mysteries of a Communist Cave, the second book in the Gumshoe series, Lytle Shaw conducts an investigation of Oscar Niemeyer’s building for the French Communist Party’s (PCF) central committee in Paris. Designed in 1965, just as party theorists began to rethink many bedrock assumptions about representation, Oscar Niemeyer’s PCF building is a microcosm of the shifting political and architectural landscape of the 1960s. It is also a literal Marxist structure that can thus help us concretely picture just exactly what Structuralist Marxism might have been. Shaw draws out the PCF’s language and context one element at a time and puts the elegant curtain-wall building, with its cave-like assembly hall, into revelatory dialogue with interlocutors in film, philosophy, anthropology, and politics.

Summary:
Ella Briggs (1880–1977) was a talented architect, designer, and writer whose influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. She trained with the Viennese Secessionists and brought their radical ideas to Gilded Age New York. She designed modernist housing for the masses in Austria, was jailed as a suspected spy in Mussolini’s Italy, and thrived in Weimar Germany before suffering persecution under the Nazis. Fleeing to London, she contributed to England’s postwar reconstruction. Yet despite a long and prolific career, her name is largely forgotten today. "Finding Ella Briggs" restores Briggs to her rightful place in the history of modernist design.
