Summary:
Between expectations that need to be scaled down and striking architectural choices, the search for a home can prove to be a long and complicated issue. In Houses for Sale, architects Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample of MOS Architects transform this quest into an itinerary through a series of houses designed by great names in architecture and show us the peculiarities of each of them through drawings that are full of details. Houses with a roof-garden and unconventional front doors, houses that look like letters of the alphabet, houses that remind us of other houses, houses that don’t seem to be made to live in, houses that float on the ground… After having visited so many of them, why not start building a new one? As the authors tell us, Houses for Sale is a children’s book, but not only that: “At first glance, children’s books seem like the simplest things in the world. Their pages often seem casually organized, with a nonchalant and playful attitude. But the reality is the opposite: there is an incredible sophistication to the naïveté of children’s books. Throughout its making, we treated this book as an architecture project; everything was considered and reconsidered, worked and reworked over and over again: the book itself became a metaphor for the architectural discipline and its constant search for architecture

Créatrice d'avant-garde, elle rejoint dès 1927 Le Corbusier et devient responsable du mobilier et de l'équipement de l'habitation au sein de son atelier de la rue de Sèvres. Dans un esprit résolument opposé aux Arts décoratifs, ils y créeront, en collaboration avec Pierre Jeanneret, des meubles fondateurs du design moderne. Mais au-delà d'une recherche esthétique, c’est une réflexion politique que mène Charlotte Perriand sur l'habitat, notamment sur la place des femmes dans le foyer. Tout au long de sa vie, elle travaillera avec les mêmes exigences : penser l'espace à partir de l'expérience humaine, s'inspirer des modes de vie et des cultures – en particulier japonaise – pour enrichir ses créations, concevoir l'architecture dans le respect de la nature et rendre accessible au plus grand nombre un véritable art de vivre.

Summary:
This irreverent survey celebrates the more populist and enduring work in graphic and industrial design that was a product of the Soviet era - a period that remains politically sensitive and under-explored, yet whose influence on the objects and aesthetics of Russian life and thought has been profound. "Made in Russia" presents fifty such masterpieces, from pioneers of Soviet technology such as the Sputnik, the Buran snowmobile, and the LOMO camera to icons of quotidian culture such as the fishnet shopping bag, the beveled glass, a Cold War-inspired arcade game, and Misha the Olympic bear. Edited by the journalist and author Michael Idov - a Soviet product himself - and including essays from Boris Kachka, Vitaly Komar, Gary Shteyngart, and Lara Vapnyar, the collection explores the provenance of these objects in the forgotten Soviet culture and the unique climate for design from which they could only have emerged.

Summary:
L'Union soviétique observa de près l'Amérique. Pour Staline et ses successeurs, l'architecture aussi devait participer à cette étude primordiale afin d'asseoir la domination mondiale du communisme. Dès les années 1920, les soviétiques envoyèrent aux USA des architectes pour apprendre à construire des gratte-ciel, se servirent de leurs pavillons aux expositions universelles de New York 1939 et Montréal 1967 pour diffuser leur propagande, coopérèrent à la construction du siège de l'ONU, bâtirent entre les décennies 1950 et 1980 d'imposantes ambassades à Ottawa, Washington, Brasilia, La Havane. Tous ces monuments devaient symboliser la puissance de l'URSS jusque sur le continent américain. Ces regards vers les Amériques influencèrent même la création soviétique, les gratte-ciel staliniens donnant à Moscou une nouvelle silhouette impériale. Ainsi l'architecture soviétique contesta avec violence ou assimila avec subtilité la culture américaine. Dans cette guerre des symboles entre deux mondes antagonistes, chaque projet ou réalisation architecturale se transforma donc en instrument de conquête.
