Summary:
Alexander examines the kinds of process that are capable of generating living structure. The unfolding of living structure in natural systems is first compared to the unfolding of buildings and town plans in traditional society, and then contrasted with present day processes. The comparison reveals deep and shocking problems which pervade the present day planning and(...)

Summary:
Alexander examines the kinds of process that are capable of generating living structure. The unfolding of living structure in natural systems is first compared to the unfolding of buildings and town plans in traditional society, and then contrasted with present day processes. The comparison reveals deep and shocking problems which pervade the present day planning and construction of buildings. He describes the detailed character of living process needed to generate, design, plan, and build buildings with living structure. The character of living process is contrasted, repeatedly, with the character of present-day professional process, which departs, again and again, from present process, in order to meet the necessities inherent in any truly life-creating process. Pervasive changes needed to create a world in which living process – and hence living structure – are attainable only through a transformation of society. The dynamic methods of Book 2, focusing on process, give an entirely different picture of the facts and concepts presented in Book 1.

Summary:
Alexander addresses the cosmological implications of the theory he has constructed and presented. The book begins with a critique of current cosmological thinking, and its separation from personal feeling and value. The outline of a theory in which matter itself is more spirit-like, more personal in character, is sketched. The cosmological modifications presented in Book(...)

Summary:
Alexander addresses the cosmological implications of the theory he has constructed and presented. The book begins with a critique of current cosmological thinking, and its separation from personal feeling and value. The outline of a theory in which matter itself is more spirit-like, more personal in character, is sketched. The cosmological modifications presented in Book 4, are needed, to supplement the definition of the personal nature of matter, design, and form, and acts as a substrate for an attempt to implement living process. The book contains a long chapter, nearly one hundred pages long — almost a book in itself — in which Alexander presents his theory of color, as one ingredient of the new cosmological picture which he puts forward. This volume draws attention to new ways of looking at consciousness, and modifies physical theory so that the human person – what we know as self, and what Alexander calls the “I” — enters in as a fundamental and necessary ingredient of all matter.

Summary:
Steven Holl is revered among architects and students for his quiet and consistent modernist buildings. His reputation among generations of students was cemented during his early tenure at Columbia University and his founding of Storefront for Art and Architecture. His Pamphlet Architecture series furthered his standing as a leader of the avant-garde. With his embrace of computer technology, Holl smoothly transitioned from the 1980s into the digital design era of the 1990s. At the same time, his practice expanded globally and his housing projects in Japan opened to international acclaim. Recently, the ultramodern design of his Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art earned high praise for its revitalizing influence on Helsinki's city center. Remarkably, this monograph is the only book available that documents Holl's full career, covering his early houses of the 1970's to his latest designs for museums currently under construction.

La montée des « interdépendances » à large échelle, ce qu’on appelle communément la mondialisation, bouleverse en profondeur les repères de nos actions et de nos projets. Lorsque les liens à grande distance et le temps court des événements mondiaux sont aussi structurants que les liens de proximité et le temps long des enracinements locaux, que deviennent les « lieux», les territoires, les espaces de nos institutions politiques et de nos appartenances naturelles ? Y a-t-il encore une place pour un développement à base locale qui ne soit pas seulement identitaire, défensif, passéiste ? Que devient l’équité, dans un monde où les pôles riches et puissants n’ont plus besoin de leurs périphéries appauvries et débranchées, où les « gagnants», ultramobiles, transgressent les frontières et les règles, quand les « perdants» sont de plus en plus confinés dans l’immobilité ?

Summary:
In the first major book on the beautiful and richly varied residential designs of John Russell Pope, "Mastering Tradition: The Residential Architecture of John Russell Pope" highlights the extraordinary houses of one of the 20th Century’s most prolific architects. John Russell Pope (1873–1937) was an architect of tradition and a master of pro-portion, massing, and scale. Drawing on a personal palette rich in historic precedents from ancient Greece to colonial America, Pope created original and refined designs that embodied the aspirations of the United States as an emerging world power. Both his private and public work - which includes the National Gallery of Art and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial - possess a poise and confidence that emanated from a disciplined approach to architectural design formed by his experiences at home and abroad. In the brief span of 35 years, Pope and his office designed several hundred buildings and monuments, including over 100 houses. His residential work spans a wide array of styles, and comprises vast estates - with integrated ensembles of living, work, and leisure buildings - town houses, country retreats, and a series of jewel-like mausoleums. The common thread running through all his work is a total mastery of the design vocabulary. In this first comprehensive and lavishly illustrated survey of his residential work, author James Garrison delves into Pope’s design sources and methods, and demonstrates how an apparently diverse body of work is related to the common theme of mastering tradition.
