Summary:
Dans un traité sur la perspective écrit vers la fin de sa vie, Piero della Francesca tente d’établir les proportions mathématiques « idéales » de la tête humaine. Après des années de méditation créative à partir de ces dessins, Smedley a décidé d’en traduire concrètement le mystère en leur donnant une forme physique. Travaillant à la manière d’un architecte, il en a extrait la structure de ses sculptures. Sa pièce principale, The Numbers, est une méticuleuse représentation de plus d’un mètre de haut de la tête idéale de Piero della Francesca. In a treatise on perspective written towards the end of his life, Piero della Francesca attempted to determine the mathematically "ideal" proportions of the human head, basing his drawings on a belief in the cosmological significance of certain numbers and their geometrical relationships. After many years of creative meditation on these drawings, Smedley decided to translate their mystery into physical form, working the way an architect works to extract from them the structure of his sculptures. His principal piece, The Numbers, is a meticulous, four-foot high realization of Piero’s ideal head.

Summary:
This book documents two complementary urban realities that have played a fundamental role in the imagination, definition and redefinition of the twentieth-century modern city. Shifting away from an understanding of architecture as the construction of monumental masterpieces, the texts collected here assemble the narratives behind the public spaces, housing and social facilities in these two cities, where modern plans have proven unexpectedly resilient and adaptable over time. This perspective is reinforced through visual contributions by Yto Barrada and Takashi Homma—two photographers especially invested in capturing everyday urban life. In a world marked by decolonization and Cold War politics, Casablanca and Chandigarh appear simultaneously as exponents of and countercurrents to modernization and its development perspectives. The book’s three chapters set the context for reading Casablanca and Chandigarh as the results of nuanced, dynamic processes of international exchange driven by the engagement and expertise of a new class of design professionals. As a dossier of actors, alignments and agendas, the book contributes to an alternative historiography of post-war urbanism and to recent reflections on the impact of transnational practice.

Summary:
Before architectural postmodernism was named as such, the process of postmodernizing architecture had already begun implicating architectural work in the increasingly information-driven logic of the late twentieth century. Though radical, the effects of this process have long been excluded from the predominant histories of postmodernism, which continue to rely on notions(...)

Summary:
Before architectural postmodernism was named as such, the process of postmodernizing architecture had already begun implicating architectural work in the increasingly information-driven logic of the late twentieth century. Though radical, the effects of this process have long been excluded from the predominant histories of postmodernism, which continue to rely on notions of individual and creative genius, architectural autonomy, and stylistic genealogies. Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernization Effects places material devices, such as Pantone chips, research grant applications, questionnaires, Xerography, and travel photography, at the forefront of a counter-narrative that recasts these informatic procedures as fundamentally architectural and as the primary of catalysts of the loose agglomeration of styles that was once called postmodernism.

Summary:
Ce Dictionnaire de l’artiste architecte et urbaniste Melvin Charney se pre´sente comme une collection de de´coupages d’articles de presse illustre´s d’une photographie, classe´s par se´ries the´matiques. Ces de´coupages, ou` compte surtout l’image, sont partiellement couverts de le´gers traits de peinture qui accentuent la valeur d’exposition de l’ensemble; le de´placement de la page imprime´e a` l’espace de la galerie ou du muse´e. Ce dictionnaire est une forme composite qui re´sulte d’une activite´ a` re´sonances multiples dans l’histoire des relations entre art et information, dans l’histoire de la critique architec- turale et dans celle de l’architecture critique. Les e´ve´nements fortuits que transmettent ces images collige´es par Charney nous forcent a` voir l’architecture dans un cadre qui n’est plus celui de sa repre´sentation comme construction monumentale isole´e. Cette publication accompagnait la participation canadienne a` la 7e Exposition internationale d’architecture de la Biennale de Venise, dont le the`me e´tait « La ville : moins d’esthe´tique, plus d’e´thique ». The Montre´al-based Canadian artist and architect Melvin Charney describes the history of modern architecture as a series of significant monuments that have been reproduced and documented. Here, the unexpected events transmitted by wire-service news photographs—selected, classified into various thematic areas, and collated by Charney—confront us with the shock or recognition that allows us to see architecture from outside its presentation as an isolated monument. The choices made by Charney from the ideas enclosed in the pre-packaged “news” images order them into a “dictionary,” and show the built and inhabited world as it appears through journalistic information. This publication accompanied the Canadian entry to the Venice Biennale’s 7th International Architecture Exhibition, whose theme was “The City: Less Aesthetics, More Ethics.”

How was the transition from analog practices to new digital tools managed, and the dialogue between them exploited? What was the cultural and technological landscape of that moment? These questions are at the foundation of this publication and its accompanying exhibition that unfold around four projects selected as seminal moments in the early development stages of digital architecture: Frank Gehry’s Lewis Residence (1989 –1995), Peter Eisenman’s Frankfurt Biozentrum (1987), Shoei Yoh’s design of the roof structure of Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and of Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium (1990 –1992) and Chuck Hoberman’s Expanding Sphere (1991) and Iris Dome (1994). Each project established a significant direction for architectural research by experimenting with the possibilities offered by novel digital tools. The dialogue between computer sciences, architecture and engineering is at the core of these experiments, which can be considered precursors of approaches still operative today.
