Summary:
Global climate change calls for swift, decisive measures, particularly from the world's metropolises. But how can cities ensure that urgently needed strategies are enacted, forging a path to a post-fossil fuel, post-atomic energy era? Using one district in Hamburg, Germany, as an example, Energy Atlas investigates how it might provide a model for future sustainability.

Summary:
The standing of the Yale Center for British Art as one of the world's great museums and study centers finds expression in its remarkable building, designed by Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974). In this important and innovative volume, two architects offer a plan to ensure the proper stewardship of the building in order to preserve its essence as a great architectural structure. Peter Inskip and Stephen Gee describe the design, construction, and subsequent renovation of the building; assess its cultural significance; analyze the materials that comprise it (steel, concrete, glass, white oak, and travertine); and shed light on its evolution over the four decades since it was built. Drawing on their extensive experience developing conservation plans for both historic sites and modern buildings, they propse a series of policies for the Center's conservation into the future.

Summary:
This account recuperates the lost history of the emergence of the Team 10 from CIAM in the period between 1947 and 1959, how it was represented in the early 1960s, and echoed in one way or another ever since. Telling the story of the early Team 10 thinking shifts the importance of the group from its better known projects of the 1960s and 70s to the theoretically vigorous period of the 1940s and 50s. This “other” story of the debates about the future of town planning reveals the ruptures and continuities between the CIAM generations and Team 10 members themselves, and reveals a more extensive critique of developing modern architecture at mid-century than has hitherto been recognized.

Summary:
"Inventeur" du gratte-ciel, père de l'architecture américaine, auteur de nombreux chefs-d'oeuvre comme l'Auditorium Building de Chicago, le Guaranty Building de Buffalo, le Bayard Building à NewYork ou les banques du Midwest, et bien d'autres, Louis Henri Sullivan (1856-1924) a aussi donné la formule par excellence de la théorie moderne : "Form ever follows function." Idée-titre du dernier livre de l'architecte, cette formule fut diversement interprétée dans son concept. Cependant, sa célèbre allitération fait aussi entendre des bruits de végétaux en mouvement, feuilles et fleurs, ou flots : motifs qui constituent la base même des formulations ornementales dont Sullivan a été le grand inventeur. La formule apparut à la maturité de Sullivan (1896), mais l'Autobiographie montre qu'elle est née plus haut, dans les mille sources dont l'enfance est témoin. Et que sa poésie relève d'une expérience sensible du monde, entreprise par un garçon qui promena son imaginaire parmi les bois, les collines, les lacs du Massachussetts, et qu'il poursuivit dans la construction des villes.
