Creative imagination is seen as a fundamental component to research, evaluation, and documental production.

En architecture, composer signifie concevoir un bâtiment selon des principes de régularité et de hiérarchie, ou selon des principes de mise en équilibre.

Summary:
En architecture, composer signifie concevoir un bâtiment selon des principes de régularité et de hiérarchie, ou selon des principes de mise en équilibre. Toutefois, ce n'est qu'à partir du XIXe siècle que la composition désigne véritablement la conception architecturale, notamment grâce à Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durant et son énonciation de la "Marche à suivre dans la composition d'un projet quelconque". Le concept s'érode rapidement au cours du XXe siècle, l'adoption de dispositifs architecturaux neutres, le recours à des processus agrégatifs, le développement d'opérations "objectives" constituant autant de tentatives de dépassement des principes compositionnels. C'est à cette histoire inédite des théories architecturales qu'invite ce livre, qui permet de comprendre les enjeux d'attitudes qui souvent s'opposent, l'effacement de certaines conceptions, l'émergence de nouvelles, et qui donne des clefs de lecture originales pour comprendre l'architecture contemporaine.

Summary:
This highly anticipated new volume in the Review series documents some two hundred largely unpublished buildings in Tashkent, Genoa, Tbilisi, and Casablanca. These cities experienced rapid development during the twentieth century, each offering its unique response to Modernism. Rather than merely providing a historical survey, this book uncovers the underlying logic of these cities’ urban fabric through an examination of their prevalent built heritage. Over four years, architects Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, together with teaching staff and students of architecture and design at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture, analyzed the featured structures to offer a wide-ranging array of original typological solutions for contemporary architecture and urban design.

Summary:
This collection of kids’ bestiaries is a critique of Monster Contemporary Architecture. It is a reinterpretation of contemporary iconic forms and the contemplation of the future states of these masterpieces, or more fittingly, Monsterpieces. Two Harvard architecture graduates challenge their minds un-learning architecture history. They speculate on the future state of post-occupancy of contemporary architectural icons, creating a retrospective of future archeological studies. A response and critique of iconic perFORMance — the current architectural trend in competing for attention — this fiction tells the story of building forms that do follow function. In this book, each eccentric form finds its justification in a speculative function, with surreal and dystopian connotations.
