Summary:
FOBA, an architectural practice based in Kyoto, looks beyond the aesthetics of minimalism, in order to find inspiration in the relationships between structure and site. "FOBA / Buildings", the first monograph on the decade-old firm, features ten projects. The work is at times boldly expressionistic, and at others refreshingly austere. The book also chronicles the FOB(...)

"FOBA / Buildings", the first monograph on the decade-old firm, features ten projects. The work is at times boldly expressionistic, and at others refreshingly austere. The book also chronicles the FOB Homes system - a FOBA subsidiary company established in 1999 - a uniquely creative response to the generic mass-produced pre-fabricated housing available in Japan. With five basic prototypes that can be easily adapted to any site or client, FOB Homes redefines the concept of standardized housing. Their simple, neutral white boxes counter the visual chaos of contemporary Japan and offer the elegance and experience of architecture to the general public - a union of modernist aesthetics with the modernist ideology of democratic, affordable design.

Summary:
Paul Rudolph, one of the 20th century's most iconoclastic architects, is best known—and most maligned—for his large "brutalist" buildings, like the Yale art and architecture building. So it will surprise many to learn that early in his career he developed a series of houses that represent the unrivaled possibilities of a modest American modernism. With their distinctive(...)

Summary:
Paul Rudolph, one of the 20th century's most iconoclastic architects, is best known—and most maligned—for his large "brutalist" buildings, like the Yale art and architecture building. So it will surprise many to learn that early in his career he developed a series of houses that represent the unrivaled possibilities of a modest American modernism. With their distinctive natural landscapes, local architectural precedents, and exploitation of innovative construction materials, the Florida houses, some eighty projects built between 1946 and 1961, brought modern architectural form into a gracious subtropical world of natural abundance. Like the locally inspired desert houses of another modern master, Albert Frey, Rudolph's Florida houses represent a distillation and reinterpretation of traditional architectural ideas developed to a high pitch of stylistic refinement. "Paul Rudolph : the Florida houses" reveals all of Rudolph's early residential work. Along with Rudolph's personal essays and renderings, duotone photographs by Ezra Stoller and Joseph Molitor, and text by Joseph King and Christopher Domin, this new book conveys the lightness, timelessness, strength, materiality, and transcendency of Rudolph's work.

Summary:
In 1960, before his skyscrapers and teapots made him a household name, Michael Graves set out on a journey once considered obligatory for a young architect: a grand tour of the great monuments of Europe. As a recipient of the prestigious Prix de Rome, Graves traveled through Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, England, Germany, and France, studying and recording the masterworks of both ancient and modern architecture. "Michael Graves: Images of A Grand Tour" collects for the first time the stunning artwork produced during this trip. Delicate pencil sketches, striking ink washes, and colourful photographs show the deep connection Graves had to the places he visited, from the Roman Forum to the Grecian Acropolis to Wiltshires Stonehenge. They also tell something of the education of an architect, bringing to light the classical buildings that caused Graves to reexamine his early devotion to modernism. A foreword by Graves reflects on these travels from the distance of forty years, while author Brian Ambroziak puts the tour into the context of Graves's life and work.

Ils abordent les différents types d’espaces touristiques et se penchent sur les relations entre visiteurs et visités. Ils dépeignent l’ampleur du défi que doivent relever les concepteurs promoteurs, les aménagistes et les gestionnaires de territoires et d’équipements touristiques. Ils proposent finalement une lecture de la production et de la structuration de l’espace touristique, ainsi que des processus du façonnement de l’offre.
