Summary:
Large-size working drawings are the foundation of any architectural process and 'key' to practical construction of a building, yet very little has been written and published about the architect's quintessential tool. This new book bridges this gap, as it draws on a vast collection of working drawings from many centuries, held by the Department of Architecture at ETH(...)

Summary:
Large-size working drawings are the foundation of any architectural process and 'key' to practical construction of a building, yet very little has been written and published about the architect's quintessential tool. This new book bridges this gap, as it draws on a vast collection of working drawings from many centuries, held by the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich. This is a collection of plans for a wide range of architectural projects and features many representational techniques. Providing a comprehensive record, around a hundred of the collection's highlights through five centuries, are arranged by category allowing for direct comparison. All plans are depicted entirely in colour on large-size spreads and fold-outs. Full catalogue details are provided for each drawing. Various topics are covered in essays by expert authors, which compliment the images. Featured architects include respected names such as Francesco Borromini, Gottfried Semper, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen, Jorn Utzon, Alvaro Siza, Rafael Moneo, Herzog & de Meuron, Peter Zumthor, Diller Scofidio or Caruso St. John.

Summary:
To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Alvar Aalto, one of the most important figures in architectural history, this exhibition will showcase the extensive body of work he created with his two wives, Aino and Elissa. The Aaltos revolutionised the humanist aspect of modern architecture by grounding it in an organic connection to nature, producing countless designs in the process. Between the two world wars, the Aaltos helped to create an identity for the young Finnish nation. They participated in the International Congresses of Modern Architecture and the Paris and New York exhibitions and designed masterpieces such as the Viipuri Library (now in Russia), Villa Mairea in Finland, Baker House in the United States and Maison Carré in France. Following the introduction of antibiotics, their Paimio Sanatorium set an example to the world by demonstrating how spaces could be made healthier and more accessible, through studies of solar incidence, natural ventilation and silent washbasins. Sanatorium is one of the thirteen Aalto-designed projects currently proposed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The book accompanying the exhibition features a preface by António Choupina, director of the Architecture Department at the Serralves Foundation and curator of the exhibition, and Jukka Savolainen, director of the Alvar Aalto Museum. It also includes contributions from architect Álvaro Siza and Juhani Pallasmaa, architect, professor emeritus at Aalto University, Helsinki, and writer.

Summary:
The lead article in the October 2004 issue of Architectural Record, devoted to contemporary museums, noted that “museums continue to proliferate across the international landscape, leading to the conclusion that, post-Bilbao, every municipality seems to want a smash.” Certainly, following the opening of Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, museums gained a newfound cache among architects and clients. The mission and purpose of the museum is rapidly evolving: museums today are frequently more than repositories for historical art: they can be research centers, memorials, contemporary galleries, or site-specific artworks in themselves. New Museums documents the best of new museum design and features 27 projects in 13 countries in Europe, the United States, Israel, and Japan. The architects represented are among the most renowned practitioners in the world today; in addition to those mentioned above, they include van Berkel + Bos, Santiago Calatrava, Zaha Hadid, Kengo Kuma, and Alvaro Siza, as well as lesser-known, talented designers such as Zvi Hecker in Israel and Diener & Diener in Switzerland. An illustrated general introduction discusses well-known historical precedents as well as current themes relevant to museum design: the museum as a neutral container, its role in placing art in context, the museum as an addition to an existing building, and as a distinct work of art. Each project is documented with color photographs, plans, drawings, and a project description.

Summary:
The internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Moneo is known to be a courageous architect. His major works include the Houston Museum of Fine Art, Davis Art Museum at Wellesley College, the Stockholm Museum of Modern Art and Architecture, and the Potzdammer Platz Hotel in Berlin. Now Moneo will be known as a daring critic as well. In this book he looks at eight of his contemporaries -- all architects of international stature -- and discusses the theoretical positions, technical innovations, and design contributions of each. Moneo's discussion of these eight architects -- James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Aldo Rossi, Peter Eisenman, Alvaro Siza, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and the partnership of Jacques Herzog and Pierre De Meuron -- has the colloquial, engaging tone of a series of lectures on modern architecture by a master architect; the reader hears not the dispassionate theorizing of an academic, but Moneo's own deeply held convictions as he considers the work of his contemporaries. Discussing each of the eight architects in turn, Moneo first gives an introductory profile, emphasizing intentions, theoretical concerns, and construction procedures. He then turns to the work, offering detailed critical analyses of the works he considers to be crucial for an informed understanding of this architect's work. The many images he uses to illustrate his points resemble the rapid-fire flash of slides in a lecture, but Moneo's perspective is unique among lecturers. These profiles are not what Moneo calls the "tacit treatises" that can be found on the shelves of a university library, but lively encounters of architectural equals. More than 500 illustrations accompany the text.

Summary:
Le dossier de ce numéro est consacré aux jeunes architectes européens. Nous publions leurs projets et réalisations et donnons la parole à plusieurs agences européennes en publiant les réponses à un questionnaire que nous leur avons soumis. D’autre part, le secrétaire général d’Europan, Didier Rebois, dans une approche globale et transversale, analyse leurs productions récentes. De la grande variété des projets et réalisations se dégagent des tendances fortes. Si certains maîtres d’œuvre sont attirés par une architecture de mode, d’autres expérimentent des voies nouvelles de recherches sur la ville : amélioration de l’existant, prise en compte de l’histoire et des réalités sociales, nouvelles technologies, développement durable, recherche de maîtrise d’œuvre ouverte. Contribuant à une nouvelle dynamique de l’architecture en Europe. Dans la rubrique Journal, nous revenons sur la problématique des immeubles de grande hauteur à Paris avec les projets du concours de la tour Phare à La Défense. La « Forme intermédiaire » de Block au lieu unique de Nantes interroge l’espace, et l’exposition « Nouveaux plaisirs d’architecture de Bruxelles » décline une étonnante créativité. Dans la rubrique Actualité, les prises de nuit d’une jeune photographe, Camille Hervouet, transfigure l’habitat toulousain. Pour une cabane baptisée Walden II en Allemagne, l’atelier Moormann fait preuve d’une belle inventivité comme Ch. Pottgiesser pour de petits espaces (bureaux à Paris). Autre sujet : une analyse d’un certain « savoir-construire Made in France » avec deux réalisations, le lycée hôtelier G. Tirel à Paris 14e (arch. Brénac et Gonzalez) et les archives départementales de Rennes (arch. Ibos et Vitart). Et puis encore, les chais d’Argamassas, conçus par A. Siza, s’inscrivent dans le paysage de l’Alentejo portugais. En design, Anthony McCall déclinant sa pratique du cinéma expérimental, crée des événements au sein de plusieurs sites dont l’Institut d’Art contemporain présenté ici. Deux cartes blanches du Via 2007 : Matt Sindall s’interroge sur le processus de création, et Inga Sempé regarde pour les renouveler les objets du quotidien. La rubrique Mise en œuvre fait le point sur les cloisons séparatives : la tendance est à la légèreté, à la flexibilité et à la résistance des matériaux, aux grandes hauteurs et à la prise en compte de l’acoustique.
