Summary:
"New Living” (Das Neue Wohnen) was the title of an exceptional architectural propaganda film created in 1930 by German avant-garde artist and filmmaker Hans Richter. It show-cased exemplary modernist buildings and furniture – some of which were on view shortly afterwards in the prestigious exhibitions "The International Style” – and contrasted them with impractical, unhygienic living spaces. The visual diversity of "New Living”, and its use of an experimental montage technique, pioneered a radical new method of portraying architecture on celluloid. This publication includes detailed sequences from the New Living film, as well as numerous documents that illustrate the new style of architectural modernism. Previously priced at $96.00.

Summary:
By any measure, Lebbeus Woods is one of the most original architects working today. His body of theoretical work focuses on buildings of crisis, whether marred by major earthquakes, suffering the effects of economic embargo, or damaged by war. Since the destruction of the World Trade Center, his designs have taken on new meaning and significance. In The Storm and the Fall, Woods brings his visions to a new depth, moving them from feverishly rendered drawings to three-dimensional space. The book focuses on two recent Woods installations - one at the Houghton Gallery at New York’s Cooper Union, the other at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris.

Summary:
Charles and Henry Greene created the definitive houses of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Raised to be architects, the Greene brothers were educated together at MIT, where their natural artistic skills blossomed in concert with an excellent practical education. While they practised architecture jointly in Southern California from 1906 to 1922 they achieved a powerful symbiosis, resulting in some of the most beautifully crafted houses in America. The elegant works of their peak period, such as the Gamble, Blacker and Thorsen houses, are masterful in their design and execution. No detail was overlooked: every element of the interior, including furniture, fittings and glasswork, as well as the building structure (down to pegs, air-vents and bracing) was conceived as an organic whole, and finished exquisitely. No hint of conflict was ever recorded between the gentlemanly brothers, yet their intertwined professional lives ultimately diverged into a physical separation and distinct design vocabularies. Even so, the automatic bond between the brothers was never completely severed, and they continued to consult each other on projects for the rest of their lives. This critical monograph, which charts the brothers’ careers (together and apart), is illustrated with superb new photography and draws on a wealth of previously unpublished archival material.

Summary:
Wright publie ‘A Testament' à l’âge de 90 ans, alors qu’il a déjà publié une autobiographie. Autant dire que ce texte se concentre sur l’activité architecturale plutôt que sur les aspects personnels et dresse un bilan de son œuvre. Auteur de nombreux textes théoriques, Wright s’efforce ici de diffuser sa pensée, avec notamment une présentation synthétique des neufs principes fondateurs de l’architecture organique et de faire connaître ses réalisations. Comprenant des illustrations détaillées sur 66 bâtiments et projets, ce livre peut en outre être reçu comme une véritable monographie sur un architecte qui a exercé une influence considérable sur tous les courants du siècle. Traduit de l’anglais et présenté par Claude Massu.

Summary:
Périphériques’ frequent participation in the international ArchiLab exhibition in Orléans and their contribution to the Architecture Biennale 2002 in Venice are sure signs of the national and international recognition which they are receiving. In 2000, Birkhäuser first published an overview of their architectural work entitled M.I.N.N.E.S.O.T.A. now out of print, and the time has come to document their latest works. This new volume describes Périphériques´ most recent buildings and projects. Amongst the realised buildings are the Maisons Icone and MR, the transformation of the Place Furstenberg in Paris, the Café Charbon in Paris, and no doubt the high point is the Cabinet d’art graphique at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Also included are a number of fascinating new projects such as the Small Towers in Tsumari, Japan, the concept for the Habitat shops in Paris and the urban plans for the new Parisian Cité Universitaire.
