Summary:
In ''Making Dystopia,'' architectural historian James Stevens Curl tells the story of the advent of architectural Modernism in the aftermath of the First World War, its protagonists, and its astonishing, almost global acceptance after 1945. He argues forcefully that the triumph of architectural Modernism in the second half of the twentieth century led to massive destruction, the creation of alien urban landscapes, and a huge waste of resources. Moreover, the coming of Modernism was not an inevitable, seamless evolution, as many have insisted, but a massive, unparalled disruption that demanded a clean slate and the elimination of all ornament, decoration, and choice.

Il était temps, après plus d’un siècle d’oubli et plusieurs décennies d’interprétations hasardeuses, d’inscrire enfin cet artiste hors pair dans l’histoire de l’art de la période de la Révolution, comme le propose ce petit guide, qui passe au crible les travaux anciens et actuels et revisite en profondeur une production qui reste encore à découvrir.

Paris ne s'est pas fait en un jour ni à sa seule arrivée en 1853. Dès les années 1840, il existe des commerçants, investisseurs, architectes et commissions qui réfléchissent à des scénarios d'alignement, d'élargissement ou de percée dans la Ville-Lumière. Et cela, sans oublier les velléités d'aménageur de Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte président de la République (dès 1848) et, plus encore, de l'Empereur Napoléon III après son retour émerveillé de l'Exposition de Londres en 1851...

Il y a Jean-Jacques Lequeu qui, sans en être conscient, pressent que l'origine du rêve architectural a quelque chose à voir avec cette origine du monde » suggère Annie Le Brun dans sa contribution au catalogue de l'exposition « Jean-Jacques Lequeu, bâtisseur de fantasmes », se tenant au Petit Palais, du 11 décembre 2018 au 31 mars 2019. Architecte sans oeuvre, Lequeu (1757-1826) est d'abord un dessinateur hors du commun, dont l'imaginaire, nourri de références telles que Le Songe de Polyphile, se déploie dans la création de monuments et fabriques fictives donnant naissance à des paysages d'invention, complétés par une impressionnante galerie de portraits grimaçants ou de détails d'anatomie dépeints sans complaisance. Issu d'un milieu artisanal, qui tente à la faveur de la Révolution, de s'élever socialement, Lequeu, réduit sa vie durant à un emploi de bureau subalterne, est le fils du libertinage des Lumières et des jardins anglochinois. Six mois avant de disparaître dans le dénuement et l'oubli, il lègue à la Bibliothèque nationale de France l'une des oeuvres graphiques les plus singulières et les plus fascinantes de son temps, qui permet de s'immerger dans la dérive solitaire et obsédante d'un artiste hors du commun.

Summary:
The Viipuri Library has international reputation as a seminal early work of Alvar Aalto, and is a key example of modern architecture. Simultaneously, the meanings associated with it stem from its geopolitical location: the library was originally opened to the Finnish city of Viipuri, but at the end of the World War II the city was annexed to the Soviet Union.

Summary:
The Viipuri Library has international reputation as a seminal early work of Alvar Aalto, and is a key example of modern architecture. Simultaneously, the meanings associated with it stem from its geopolitical location: the library was originally opened to the Finnish city of Viipuri, but at the end of the World War II the city was annexed to the Soviet Union. Since 1991 the building has been located in modern day Russia. The title of the book reflects the widely spread misunderstanding that the Library has been lost at war, and future generations can learn about it only from drawings and images. This work unfolds its 'life’ in four thematic chapters, each presenting a totally different perspective to what this building is all about: First, the context of the city of Viipuri, second, the Library as a work of Aalto, third, the time period of the Second World War and the Soviet Union, and last, the international restoration project.

A monograph dedicated to Gerrit Rietveld, perhaps the most well-known Dutch architect. Besides his iconic Schröder House, very little is known about the roughly 100 houses Rietveld designed and built during his career.

These houses are characterised by light and space, and sobriety is a basic principle in his approach. Only a small group of intellectual clients commissioned him to design an avant-garde residence.
