This book traces the varied course of the relationships between an architect and his clients, between an architect and the design briefs set for him, and between the architect and his own intellectual approach to design and its impact on his work. The text, with specially commissioned pictures, explores Pawson’s design process, working methods and philosophical approach, and illuminates the emotional and artistic content of his work.

Summary:
Although Frank Lloyd Wright designed more than 1,000 projects during his long and prolific career, Auldbrass Plantation, in Yemassee, South Carolina, is the only plantation he ever designed. It is also one of the largest and most complex projects he ever undertook. Wright had an unusually intense commitment to Auldbrass and worked on it, off and on, for more than twenty years, from 1938 until his death in 1959. Because Auldbrass was private and because it fell into disrepair in the 1960's after the owners' death, it was rarely photographed or studied, and as a consequence little has been known about this major work. Now, with the completed restoration and new photography, this book affords the first opportunity to see one of Wright's greatest works, as the master himself originally envisioned it. Through photos, plans, and drawings, we see what Wright planned, and how it has finally all been either restored or realized for the first time.

Summary:
En plus de trente années d'une carrière hors normes, depuis les rivages d'un continent isolé où une culture encore neuve côtoie les paysages les plus anciens et les mieux préservés de la planète, Glenn Murcutt a développé une architecture domestique originale. Simples, raffinées, expressives, les quelque cinq cents maisons qu'il a conçues pour son Australie natale sont considérées aujourd'hui comme les exemples les plus probants de ce que pourrait être une " architecture écologique ". Influencée par la philosophie de Henry David Thoreau comme par le minimalisme de Mies van der Rohe, par les constructions vernaculaires australiennes comme par les leçons d'Alvar Aalto, son architecture se veut une forme de " traduction du paysage " dans lequel elle s'inscrit, modelée par le concept d'économie qui la fonde - économie d'espace, d'énergie, de matériaux... L'attribution, en 2002, du prix Pritzker (le Nobel de l'architecture) à ce praticien inclassable témoigne de l'écho que rencontrent aujourd'hui ces questions dans les cénacles internationaux Ce livre cherche à donner à voir et à comprendre cet œuvre singulier en élucidant ses origines, ses ressorts et sa portée. Un essai critique approfondi analyse le parcours, le mode de travail et les idées de Glenn Murcutt, et dégage les raisons de son importance dans le panorama de l'architecture d'aujourd'hui. Une section largement illustrée présente ensuite en détail trente-trois de ses projets et bâtiments réalisés entre 1968 et 2001.
