Summary:
Alvar Aalto et Reima Pietilä se sont nourris de leur terre natale aux saisons extrêmes, la Finlande, nation récente mais toujours ancrée à d’anciennes racines forestières et paysannes libres.

Elle compte de nombreux bâtiments à travers le monde, aménagés jusqu’au détail, toujours saisissants d’intériorité et de prévenance. Imprégnés d’une harmonie subtile avec les lieux, leurs espaces hospitaliers appellent à être parcourus et à s’abriter au cœur de la dynamique spatiale qui les définit.

Summary:
According to Frédéric Migayrou, the history of Japanese architecture has seen a permanent tension between the impossible reconstruction of tradition and the unceasing assimilation of modernity. Although having one of the most active international architecture scenes since World War II, a comprehensive overview of Japanese architectural creation from the post-war years has been lacking until now. This catalogue, brimming with archive materials like sketches and models, is published with the eponymous exhibition at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, which intends to stimulate a broader appreciation for these masterful works, ensuring their preservation.

Summary:
Genealogy of Modern Architecture is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today's leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected.
