Summary:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction(...)

Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction is followed by five thematic chapters: Public Realm, Community Spaces, On the Move, Compact Living, and Extra Space. The 53 case studies include a park bench that transforms into a shelter for the homeless in Australia, an inflatable treetop structure for rainforest observation, a portable house for victims of hurricane Katrina, a transportable church in Finland, and a suspended office in France.

Summary:
Award-winning Quebecois cartoonist Pascal Blanchet’s graphic novel is a compelling account of the rise and fall of the small northern town of White Rapids. In the first English translation of his work, Blanchet seamlessly blends fact and fiction as he weaves together the official history of the town and snapshots of the quotidian life of its residents. Founded in 1928 in an isolated region of Quebec forest, the town was conceived and constructed by the Shawinigan Water & Power Company to function as a fully equipped, self-contained living community for workers at the nearby dam and their families. Intended as an incentive to lure workers to the remote and inaccessible region, White Rapids provided its residents with all the luxuries of middle-class modern life in a pastoral setting—until the town was abruptly shut down in 1971, when the company changed hands. Blanchet’s unique, streamlined, retro-inspired aesthetic draws on art deco and fifties modernist design to vividly conjure up idyllic scenes of lazy summer days and crisp winter nights in White Rapids, transporting the reader back to a more innocent time.

Leur habitat, qui sait allier confort et légèreté, sécurité et mobilité dans une recherche de beauté et d'harmonie avec la nature, est particulièrement présenté ici. Les yourtes d'Asie centrale et de Mongolie, ou les tipis d'Amérique du Nord permettent de multiples variations. Ils peuvent offrir un abri saisonnier le temps d'une immersion en pleine nature, devenir une annexe indépendante de la maison pour recevoir des amis ou pour soi-même, se transformer en lieux de rencontres et de créations artistiques. Nous avons laissé la parole à ceux qui ont ainsi adopté et adapté yourtes et tipis : fabricants, organisateurs de vacances ou de campements, artistes ou simples particuliers. Leur expérience et leurs témoignages en inciteront peut-être d'autres à se familiariser avec cet habitat et à comprendre l'âme nomade.

Price:
$46.99
(available to order)
Summary:
An in-depth look at the evolution of one of the most engaging and experimental architecture studios today. The ciliary muscle reproduces the effect of a lens and allows the eye to focus or blur vision. The ciliary muscle became the emblem of the critical vision that Diller + Scofidio (+ Renfro) had of their heterogeneous fields of research and experimentation. The work of this New York studio owes its notoriety to a genre that challenges the contemporary role of both the architect and architecture. Their interdisciplinary projects range from objects, installations and performances to media and architecture. In recent years they have expanded � with a third partner joining their studio � to embrace projects on an urban scale. Their works, recognised on an international level, include the Blur Building for Swiss Expo 2002, �the brasserie� restaurant in New York, the ICA in Boston, the Lincoln Center and the High-Line, both in New York. Diller + Scofidio (+ Renfro): The Ciliary Function covers their development documenting about twenty works, from the earliest to the most recent. The volume, with a foreword by Reinhold Martin, includes essays investigating the studio�s context, influences and strategies, some interviews with the architects, dossiers on the chronology of their engagements, an itinerary, a scheme showing the evolution and growth of the studio from 1979 to today and a DVD documenting the multimedia and interdisciplinary projects by Diller + Scofidio (+ Renfro).
