Summary:
In "The Monumental Impulse", art historian George Hersey investigates many ties between the biological sciences and the building arts. Natural building materials such as wood and limestone, for example, originate in biological processes. Much architectural ornament borrows from botany and zoology. Hersey draws striking analogies between building types and animal species. He examines the relationship between physical structures and living organisms, from bridges to mosques, from molecules to mammals. Insects, mollusks, and birds are given separate chapters, and three final chapters focus on architectural form and biological reproduction. Hersey also discusses architecture in connection with the body's interior processes and shows how buildings may be said to reproduce, adapt, and evolve, like other inanimate or "nonbiotic" entities such as computer programs and robots.

Carola Schäfers has incorporated something of the characteristic sobriety and pragmatism of northern Germany into her way of approaching architecture. She does not seek to stand out from or to modify context.

Summary:
Carola Schäfers has incorporated something of the characteristic sobriety and pragmatism of northern Germany into her way of approaching architecture. She does not seek to stand out from or to modify context. If we focus on the principal themes of her work and her premises, we could say that Carola Schäfers adopts the postulates of modernity, but in a non-dogmatic way. The appropriate use of materials, together with the "planning of the place" distance her architecture, on the basis of its functional rightness and propriety in the use of the materials, from the formal pomposity of this end of the century. This book presents her works and projects completed from 1988 to the present.

Summary:
"Animate Form" is a book and interactive CD-ROM of recent architectural projects designed by Form, the office of Greg Lynn. The projects documented here explore the potential of time-based animation techniques to inform architectural design. Historically, architecture has been considered static, fixed, and inert. Through the use of state-of-the-art animation and special-effects software, Lynn transforms space and form into highly plastic, flexible, and mutable entities. He uses topological geometries to bend, twist, deform, and differentiate structure, creating unprecedented departures from preconceived notions of architecture. In experimenting with these new methods and media, Lynn has charted an innovative direction in design. The book provides a theoretical context for the experimental projects through a collection of texts by Lynn, extensively illustrated in colour. The CD-ROM is an interactive HTML-based environment that fully documents the design processes used to generate the projects through animations, renderings, model photographs, animations, and texts. The viewer is able to navigate through space and select objects and animations to view at different scales.

L'édifice Ernest-Cormier est sans contredit un des joyaux de l'arrondissement historique du Vieux-Montréal. Construit au début des années 1920, il a logé pendant près de cinq décennies différentes institutions judiciaires. Son architecture exceptionnelle témoigne du talent des professionnels qui ont façonné le paysage urbain de la métropole au début du XXe siècle, en respectant la tradition classique. Ernest Cormier, grand architecte québécois, a joué un rôle majeur au sein du groupe chargé de la conception de ce palais de justice. Le présent ouvrage évoque deux histoires intimement liées, celle de l'administration de la justice à travers ses réformes successives et l'animation des prétoires, d'une part, et celle de l'élaboration du projet architectural et de son résultat, d'autre part.
