Moins connus que les collections de peinture ou de sculpture, les dessins d'architecture du musée d'Orsay comptent plus de dix-huit mille pièces parmi lesquelles on peut distinguer deux ensembles exceptionnels le fonds Eiffel et le fonds Guimard. L'idée de constituer une "galerie de dessins d'architecture" avait germé dès 1890, mais, malgré différents dons et la collecte de quelques dizaines dé dessins, cette galerie permanente ne vit jamais le jour. Ce n'est qu'un siècle plus tard, avec la création du musée d'Orsay, que l'architecture trouva sa place dans un musée pluridisciplinaire consacré à cette période si riche de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle. Sous le Second Empire et plus encore sous la Troisième République, la société industrielle en plein essor réclame toujours plus de nouveaux bâtiments publics, d'églises, de prisons, de théâtres et d'immeubles. Parallèlement, les Expositions universelles sont un creuset d'imaginations fertiles : la tour Eiffel reste l'exemple le plus emblématique. Enfin, au tournant du siècle, l'Art nouveau fait souffler un vent d'émancipation et d'innovation. Cet ouvrage fait enfin connaître ce fonds aux richesses insoupçonnées, à travers quatre-vingts œuvres choisies et présentées par leur conservateur.

Summary:
"Twentieth-Century Type" surveys the significant issues that have shaped the history and evolution of typography and graphic design, showing how current typographic trends are part of a continuously changing movement that can be plotted through the decades. Generously illustrated with over three hundred examples–more than two hundred of which are in color–the book charts significant topics including the arrival of mass-production; the birth of the art director; the appearance of the grid (and its subsequent rejection); the coming of non-print media; and the launch of the Macintosh computer and its ushering in of a new generation of designers enfranchised by digital technology. This revised edition of a fundamental work brings the story up to date with new text and images covering type on screen and, in particular, type for the internet. Combining an assessment of the culture of experimentation in contemporary typographic design alongside a clear presentation of the field’s historical context, the book is an informed and accessible source for all students of design and for designers needing an expert overview of typography.

Christo & Jeanne-Claude : on the way to The Gates, Central Park, New York City

Price:

(available in store)
Summary:
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are renowned for their dramatic and innovative public projects. Their installations often feature fabric, sometimes wrapped around existing structures or used to create large-scale temporary environments. Some of their most influential projects include Running Fence in Sonoma and Marin Counties, California, Surrounded Islands in Miami, the Pont Neuf Wrapped in Paris, the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, and The Umbrellas simultaneously in Japan and California. Now New York City, where they have lived and worked for forty years, will be the site for a much-anticipated Christo and Jeanne-Claude project. The Gates will consist of saffron-coloured fabric panels suspended from the horizontal tops of over 7,500 sixteen-foot-tall vinyl gates, positioned at regular intervals throughout 23 miles of walkways of Central Park. The installation will be on view for sixteen days, beginning February 12, 2005 (weather permitting). This book, published in conjunction with a major exhibition that opens in April 2004 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrates the culmination of the artists' vision for The Gates, a project that began in 1979. It includes an illustrated introduction by Jonathan Fineberg that surveys the career of Christo and Jeanne-Claude and assesses their contribution to contemporary art and culture.

If "peripatetic" is the word most overused to describe him, it is not inappropriate. The Swiss-born, everywhere-based curator and head of the Programme Migrateurs at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris has an unstoppable wanderlust and a related symptom: his penchant for interviewing anyone and everyone who piques his curiosity, be they artist, scientist, writer, curator, composer, architect, thinker, etc. Since 1993, Obrist has conducted more than 300 interviews, 75 of which are collected here in a selection that respects the cultural and professional diversity of the interviewees. Each interview is introduced by a short text outlining the biography of the interviewee and giving some contextual information on the recording of the interview.

(available to order)
Summary:
This international exploration of Jewish and Holocaust museums, modern synagogues, Jewish community centers and schools demonstrates how these important structures lend architectural shape to the Jewish identity. Architects commissioned to build religious-based structures are uniquely responsible to the history and values of the community they represent. Nowhere is this more evident than within the Jewish structures of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, a time of disruption, destruction, immigration, and reconstruction of Jewish society. Accompanying a touring exhibition, this important work demonstrates the fundamental differences among fifteen museums, synagogues, community centers and schools throughout the world. It covers sites in America, where the architecture of Jewish institutions looks back on a legacy of uninterrupted development; in Israel, where the great wave of immigration adopted modernist as well as Mediterranean traditions; and in Europe, where rebuilding and reconciliation attempt to balance a history of pain and tragedy.

Today, while public housing and other urban renewal projects are being abandoned and even torn down, this volume discusses not only the significance of Lafayette Park's singular achievement, but also its relevance to the continuing debates about the status of public housing in the contemporary city.

In this comprehensive work to date on membrane technology for architecture, pioneers show how one of the world's oldest forms of building material is also its most innovative. Today, the cutting edge in architecture is not sharp but curved and undulating. It is also impermeable to moisture, resistant to extreme temperatures, flexible and portable. Known as the fifth building material after wood, stone, glass, and metal, membranes are popping up everywhere: in Olympic stadiums in Berlin and Atlanta, in airports from Denver to Bangkok, over fashion shows, formal gardens, and soccer fields. Membranes' ability to not only let in but also reflect light portends enormous possibilities for harnessing energy. This fascinating survey of membrane structures throughout the world discusses the history of the medium, describes the materials and their uses, explores the technology of membrane construction, and investigates numerous current and future projects. A final chapter offers a reasoned argument for further research and experimentation in this rapidly expanding field and a projection of its future.
