Summary:
Spanning four continents and six countries, this book introduces "new art landscapes" that fuse architecture, the reuse of found structures, environmentalism, and artistic experimentation. Through words and pictures, readers explore six institutions--Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle, USA; Raketenstation Hombroich, near Neuss, Germany; Benesse Art Site in Naoshima, Japan; Inhotim, near Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Jardin Botanico, Culiacan, Mexico; and Grand Traiano Art Complex, Grottaferrata, Italy--dedicated to the experience of culture and nature. Integrating vegetation and non-linear sequences of spaces, the sites offer multiple experiences enticing the visitor to circulate between and within buildings. The sites are depicted with architects' plans and sketches, historical photographs, and maquettes and sketches by key installation artists. Raymund Ryan's essay discusses important historical precedents and considers the defining characteristics of "new art landscapes" through descriptions of each of the projects. Brian O'Doherty offers an artist's critical perspective, while Marc Treib situates the projects in the history of landscape design Architects under consideration include such established masters as Tadao Ando and Alvaro Siza Vieira as well as emerging practices such as Tatiana Bilbao and Johnston Marklee.

Summary:
Central to the work of Robert A. M. Stern is a commitment to an architecture that reinterprets the past to serve contemporary life. This monograph, the fifth volume since Stern opened his practice in 1969, explores the application of this principle to a wide range of building types, including libraries, university buildings, cultural centers, offices, towers, and private residences. Focused on the years 2004 through 2009, an exceptionally productive period for Stern’s firm, this volume includes designs for the Miami Beach, Jacksonville, and Clearwater Public Libraries in Florida, the vast Zubiarte retail complex in Bilbao, Spain, two new residential colleges at Yale University, the 15 Central Park West condominium in New York, and the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Texas. In a conversation with renowned architecture critic Paul Goldberger, Stern discusses the principles that have guided the firm since its inception, focusing on the collaborative nature of the work and the importance of precedent and context. He also describes his own role as an educator, as dean of the architecture school at Yale University.

Summary:
From high-rise to desert, urban sprawl to empty canyons, the American landscape is incredibly various : how does one even begin to take stock of its endlessly proliferating cityscapes and vast horizons? Reading the American Landscape rises marvelously to the challenge. For this anthropological epic, 25 landscape architects, urban designers, visual artists, photographers and commentators on the American landscape were invited by The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture to undertake a journey through the United States, to study and record its history and development. Their study revolved around three themes or types of location : the city park as a social space in densely developed cities; landscapes on the periphery of expanding cities; and the development of large-scale rural areas as exercises in conservation. The writers for this project were each given a bibliography, from which they selected a single title as a starting point for their essays, on subjects ranging from parks and gardens to more general speculations on the unique features of the American landscape.

Summary:
Larry Bennett calls contemporary Chicago the third city to distinguish it from its two predecessors: the first city, a sprawling industrial center whose historical arc ran from the Civil War to the Great Depression; and the second city, the Rustbelt exemplar of the period from around 1950 to 1990.

Summary:
Larry Bennett calls contemporary Chicago the third city to distinguish it from its two predecessors: the first city, a sprawling industrial center whose historical arc ran from the Civil War to the Great Depression; and the second city, the Rustbelt exemplar of the period from around 1950 to 1990. The third city features a dramatically revitalized urban core, a shifting population mix that includes new immigrant streams, and a growing number of middle-class professionals working in new economy sectors. It is also a city utterly transformed by the top-to-bottom reconstruction of public housing developments and the ambitious provision of public works like Millennium Park. It is, according to Bennett, a work in progress spearheaded by Richard M. Daley, a self-consciously innovative mayor whose strategy of neighborhood revitalization and urban renewal is a prototype of city governance for the twenty-first century. The Third City ultimately contends that to understand Chicago under Daley’s charge is to understand what metropolitan life across North America may well look like in the coming decades.

Summary:
Opened in 1992, the Kunsthal in Rotterdam is a key design in the portfolio of Rem Koolhaas, one of the most influential architectural thinkers of our time, and OMA, the renowned firm he cofounded in 1975. It is part of the Museumpark, a park designed by OMA and the location of the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut NAi, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, and the Museum of Natural History. This outstanding space for art is a destination for countless architecture fans every year. It is celebrated by Tibor Pataky, architect and architectural historian, in this inspiring book. He explains the history, the programmatic background, and the cultural references of the design. He also places it in the context of OMA’s work of the 1980s and the intellectual environment of Deconstructivism. Nine series of illustrations—historic and new photographs, plans and documents from OMA’s archive, newly drawn plans of the finished building, and other images—focus on the structure’s outstanding qualities. ''OMA’s Kunsthal in Rotterdam'' is a tribute to one of the most significant works of post-WWII architecture in Europe.

Summary:
Since TEN Arquitectos was first published in 1998, the firm founded by Enrique Norten has soared to a position of international renown. In addition to important competition-winning proposals--the Visual and Performing Arts Library in Brooklyn and the Guggenheim Guadalajara, among others--Norten and his firm have a rich variety of projects on the drawings boards: Harlem Park, a thirty-four-story mixed-use project in Upper Manhattan; a renovation of Mexico City's Chopo Museum, the gallery of the national university; the Busan Cinema Complex in Korea; the National Laboratory of Genomics for Biodiversity in Guanajuato; and hotels and residential buildings in New York, West Hollywood, and Prague. Conceived to represent the current state of the practice, Working shows twenty unbuilt and in-progress projects with an emphasis on the design process. Sketches give way to study models and then to polished renderings; at each stage in the development of a design, numerous iterations show various directions and investigations. The collection of projects is a timely record of the works by this notable firm.

Summary:
The history of European landscape design has its beginnings in the early cultures of the Mediterranean. Again and again, especially during the Renaissance, ancient parks and gardens have been imitated as archetypes. The park is still a site of design activity today: human beings use living material to create an artificial landscape, a paradise. This book not only recounts the history of the garden—it conjures it up before the reader’s eyes, from the Garden of Eden and the Hanging Gardens of Nebuchadnezzar to the first book on botany and the gardens of the Renaissance, from the invention of the lawnmower to the land art movement in the United States, Hängende Gärten II (Hanging Gardens II) at the Hanover Expo by the Dutch architectural firm MVRDV, and the Gazebo-Berg (Gazebo Mountain) of the Swiss artist couple Studer/van den Berg at the 2005 world’s fair in Japan. Every single "station" of this journey through gardens and time is illustrated by an entire double page, with pointedly written texts and an abundance of historical and contemporary images.

Bien que pertinente, cette interrogation en éclipse de bien plus fondamentales : toutes les problématiques relatives à l’œuvre de Wright ont-elles réellement été traitées? Plutôt que d’apporter des réponses à travers un discours généralisant, cette étude formule de nouvelles propositions par le biais d’un corpus restreint articulé autour d’un seul programme architectural, multifonctionnel : celui des maisons-ateliers. Il n’en existe que trois exemples au sein de l’œuvre de Wright : sa maison-atelier d’Oak Park, Taliesin et Taliesin West. S’agissant des trois seules de ses réalisations pour lesquelles il est lui-même le destinataire, il a pu y développer des dispositifs plus radicaux et novateurs que dans le reste de sa production. Ainsi, cet ouvrage identifie et analyse les caractéristiques fondamentales et particulières des spatialités développées par l’architecte américain en mettant en lumière leurs répercussions sensibles sur leurs usagers. La notion d’espace wrightien forme le fil rouge de cette recherche.

Louisville is one of the overlooked gems of American architecture, a city of Southern charm and grace with a catalogue of buildings by such masters as D.H. Burnham, Bruce Goff, and Herb Greene. An important destination for people interested in everything from colonial to postmodern architecture, this riverfront city is historically rich, while being beautifully planned with a boulevard and park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The Louisville Guide takes readers on a journey through the city, describing its most notable buildings while providing a complete overview of its architectural history. Essays by Louisville scholars Grady Clay and Edie Bingham add colour and life to the story of the city and its makers. From Carrére and Hastings's Memorial Hall to Michael Graves's Humana Building, The Louisville Guide offers visitors and residents alike never-before published scholarship of the city's rich architectural heritage. At the University of Kentucky, Gregory A. Luhan is an Assistant Professor and David Mohney is the Dean of the College of Architecture, while Dennis Domer is Helen Edwards Abell Chair in Historic Preservation.

The Louisville Guide takes readers on a journey through the city, describing its most notable buildings while providing a complete overview of its architectural history. Essays by Louisville scholars Grady Clay and Edie Bingham add colour and life to the story of the city and its makers. From Carrére and Hastings's Memorial Hall to Michael Graves's Humana Building, The Louisville Guide offers visitors and residents alike never-before published scholarship of the city's rich architectural heritage. At the University of Kentucky, Gregory A. Luhan is an Assistant Professor and David Mohney is the Dean of the College of Architecture, while Dennis Domer is Helen Edwards Abell Chair in Historic Preservation.
