Résumé:
As climate change has escalated into a crisis, the reuse of existing structures is the only way to even begin to preserve our wood, sand, silicon, and iron, let alone stop belching carbon monoxide into the air. Our housing crisis means that we need usable buildings now more than ever, but architect and critic Aaron Betsky shows that new construction—often seeking to(...)

Résumé:
As climate change has escalated into a crisis, the reuse of existing structures is the only way to even begin to preserve our wood, sand, silicon, and iron, let alone stop belching carbon monoxide into the air. Our housing crisis means that we need usable buildings now more than ever, but architect and critic Aaron Betsky shows that new construction—often seeking to maximize profits rather than resources, often soulless in its feel—is not the answer. Whenever possible, it is better to repair, recycle, renovate, and reuse—not only from an environmental perspective, but culturally and artistically as well.

Résumé:
Over more than two decades of writing, Aaron Betsky has used his knowledge of architecture and urbanism to argue for the ways in which buildings, cities and landscapes help us understand where we are, where we have come from, and where we are going.

Résumé:
Over more than two decades of writing, Aaron Betsky has used his knowledge of architecture and urbanism to argue for the ways in which buildings, cities and landscapes help us understand where we are, where we have come from, and where we are going. He argues for modernist design as a way of making ourselves at home in the ever-changing world of modernity. In At Home in Sprawl, using such disparate examples as California and the Netherlands, he offers possible building blocks for better sprawl. He also believes that buildings are no longer enough to make us at home in the modern world, and that architects must look beyond such structures to landscapes, interiors, and imaginary structures to find appropriate and critical architecture.

Résumé:
Zaha Hadid, née en Irak et installée à Londres, a été la première femme lauréate du Pritzker Prize. Elle a, au cours de ces trente dernières années, bouleversé notre perception de l'espace et de l'architecture, puisant ses références à la source même du modernisme, à l'instar des constructivistes et des suprématistes. Elle commente ici près de 200 opus - projets et réalisations - depuis les expérimentations les plus précoces, les oeuvres peintes, les simples folies, les constructions à grande échelle ou de grande hauteur, les plans directeurs d'urbanisme, jusqu'au design d'objets, de mobilier et d'articles de mode. L'intégrale Zaha Hadid est le premier ouvrage en français consacré à cet architecte qui aura su abolir les limites convenues des formes, de la gestion de l'espace et des structures constructives.

Résumé:
Uneternalcity is a multiplicity of projects performed by a dozen architects from around the world, some of them local, some from far away, that provoke a revelation of what Rome is and always has been, and what Rome has become and continually is becoming. If it is possible to figure it out and to re-imagine and reimage Rome the way it appears in our mind’s eye when we think of city, then we can make sense of any post-city urban landscape that is our new home in the world.

''50 Lessons to learn from Frank Lloyd Wright'' presents the work and imaginings of this beloved architect in an accessible and compelling form. Here we may glean insight from an American master and find inspiration for the thoughtful design of our own homes. By means of succinct examples, text and visuals, the authors share fifty lessons, or 'learning points,' with an eye to Wright-designed houses and interiors, ranging from 'Inspired by nature,' 'Make a room flexible with screens,' and 'Creating liveable interiors with textiles,' to 'Learning from the East,' 'Green design' and 'Seeking harmony and balance.' Each lesson is accompanied by pearls of wisdom gathered from the master's trove of writings on architecture and design.

'NOWHERE' shows a world in which Instagrammability is first and foremost, in which the new reality is dictated by the seductive image that may (later) be made from it. Architecture, design, and urban landscape are directed by the mechanisms of global big business, and the same antiseptic beauty exists all over the world.

Résumé:
'NOWHERE' shows a world in which Instagrammability is first and foremost, in which the new reality is dictated by the seductive image that may (later) be made from it. Architecture, design, and urban landscape are directed by the mechanisms of global big business, and the same antiseptic beauty exists all over the world. 'NOWHERE—Imagining the Global City' presents the work of Dutch photographer Frank van der Salm from the past twenty-five years. Designed by Irma Boom, the book shows a consumer-oriented, imaginary metropolis. Images, sometimes deliberately upside down, challenge the reality they represent. Seen together they form the image of a city that suddenly seems to be simultaneously everywhere and nowhere: both here and now and nowhere. The essays by Shumon Basar, Aaron Betsky, and Urs Stahel link Frank van der Salm’s oeuvre to the world of design, architecture, urban development, art, and photography.
