Summary:
The sequence of projects presented demonstrates the vitality and coherence that the issue of housing retains in spite of the changes that took place in society towards the end of the 20th century. This can be observed when examining the basic programs applied by the architects during th project planning stage in which they try to preserve some ingredients which are essential for the health of the social fabric. The three classic areas, living-private-services, remain unchanged, with different manners of relating, with the expansion spaces, roofed or open to the sky, playing a very important part as they are of singular for family life.

Summary:
This publication offers a view of Steven Holl's spectacular buildings, with a particular eye to their sculptural expressiveness, the materials used, compositional elements, and the way light is handled. Essays by Dietmar Steiner (director of the Architekturzentrum in Vienna), Yehuda Safran (professor at Columbia University, New York) and Wolf Prix (architect, Vienna) shed light on the process of moving from idea to phenomenon, from the first sketch - in this case from Steven Holl's water-colour drawings - to construction.

Summary:
Cet essai veut apporter une contribution à l'analyse de la modernité. Il se situe dans une perspective phénoménologique, tout en étant plus proche de la pensée de Lévinas que de celle de Heidegger. Au lieu de présenter la modernité comme un système rationnel, ce texte la décrit comme une "double rupture" avec l'intériorité : la modernité effectue une coupure souvent violente avec la tradition, et elle veut amener l'homme à une nouvelle manière d'être au monde. Plus que sous la forme d'une recherche d'autonomie, il faut donc concevoir la modernité en des termes d'inquiétude et d'espoir. L'architecture moderne, phénomène central de la modernité, vise à réformer le monde vécu afin de rendre possible une existence nouvelle, un "esprit nouveau". Les textes et les oeuvres de Le Corbusier expriment une telle volonté de briser les habitudes anciennes par la transformation de l'espace architectural et par la création d'une poésie nouvelle. L'essai situe la pensée de Le Corbusier dans l'horizon de l'idéologie moderne et l'on souligne la parenté de ses idées avec celles de Gide et de Nietzsche. La modernité veut concevoir l'homme comme un "être mondain" : mais par rapport à un modernisme excessif qui promeut l'idée d'une existence entièrement tournée vers le dehors,il s'agit de sauvegarder une distance au monde.
