Written over a period of 20 years from 1970, shortly after his graduation from the Architectural Association (AA), to 1990, the essays cover a wide range of architectural concerns: domestic space, society’s involvement with building types, aspects of geometry, modes of projection and drawing as a process for generating ideas. The book includes ‘Mies van der Rohe’s Paradoxical Symmetries’ and other essays first published in AA Files. Evans’s writings are supported by a new introduction and an annotated bibliography by Richard Difford. This AA Documents publication is a re-edition of the 1997 essay collection originally published by AA Publications.

Résumé:
he link between architecture and art and the sublimity it can create has a history that stretches back millennia. From cave paintings to the stained glass and saintly icons in churches and cathedrals, to the geometric and calligraphic treatments of mosques and contemporary artists channelling architecture and vice versa, and so much else. This AD is about the contemporary interactions between living artists and architects, and the artistic practices, such as poetry and abstractions, that architects adopt to develop ideas for their projects. The issue features artists, architects, curators, musicians, poets and designer craftspeople, illustrating the current rich mix of architectonic constructions, interventions and set pieces that range from musical performance to exhibition designs, glass works and digital 3D scanning. It lays out the wide spectrum and beauty of these sublime correspondences, with contributions from architects about their own artistic practices, and creative works viewed through the eyes of architectural commentators. An explosion of colour, form and creative tactics for making multifaceted work that above all is architectural, it offers a cornucopia of possibilities.

Résumé:
This book is a sub-urbanist manifesto. Its author, Sébastien Marot, challenges the dominant role of the programme in regulating the design project, and argues that instead attention should be redirected towards the site – the site read in depth, with an active regard for memory. Exploring this analysis, he considers in turn Frances Yates’ book ''The Art of Memory'', Sigmund Freud’s analogy between the past of a city and the workings of memory, Robert Smithson’s account of a tour of his suburban birthplace and Georges Descombes’ design for a small park in the Geneva suburb where he spent his childhood. Marot’s conclusion brings these different strands together and highlights, in memory, a precept that is essential to the renewal of current architecture. This AA Documents publication is a re-edition of Sébastien Marot’s Sub-Urbanism and the Art of Memory, originally edited by Pamela Johnston and published by AA Publications in 2003. It is based on a 1999 text by Marot, translated from the French by Brian Holmes.

En interpellant différentes références théoriques qui permettent de revisiter notre conception de l’architecture comme objet et activité, il nous invite à (re-)penser des pratiques de recherche et de création qui se veulent en prise avec le réel, assumant leur volonté de faire contre, tout contre l’Architecture et les appareils idéologiques qui la constituent.

Il saggio ripercorre le principali fasi di quel dibattito — che l’autore considera ormai esaurito — e auspica un ritorno alle origini dell’atto creativo che l’Architettura comunque rappresenta, anche in assenza di quelle “avanguardie” che gli architetti hanno da sempre (avuto) nel loro DNA.

Résumé:
''Who is the architect?'' explores how the figure of the architect has been constructed and challenged in recent years. Traditionally perceived as male, Western and individualistic, architects are now being urged to redefine themselves in a more diverse, inclusive manner. The publication discusses the need to challenge norms and establish caring as an essential quality in the architectural discourse. With the threat of environmental collapse and other societal challenges, the need for collective teamwork and empathy has become central in establishing a common understanding that includes all beings. ''Building diversity'' aims to tackle these issues and explore topics on diversity and equality in the architectural field's past, present and future. The publication features thoughts and ideas from a broad range of countries and diverse perspectives on the architectural field, contributing to a wider dialogue about inclusion, intersectionality and progress. ''Building diversity'' is not intended to provide concrete solutions but aims to stimulate discussion and open up venues for hosting dialogues pointing to possible paths and the expansion of perspectives. It is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about diversity and equality in the architectural field.

Creusons cette idée simple : on touche immédiatement l'une des problématiques fondamentales de l'architecture. Art non mimétique, elle n'a effectivement qu'elle-même pour modèle. Comment donc l'architecture s'imite-t-elle, telle est la question à laquelle, à travers la notion de style notamment, de nombreux théoriciens ont essayé de répondre. L'hypothèse de ce livre prolonge très directement ce questionnement. Elle consiste à dire que l'architecture entretient avec son substrat matériel une relation singulière, qui procède à la fois de la connivence et de la défiance, et qui définit selon les périodes, selon les créateurs, autant de stratégies particulières en matière de projet. En dix chapitres thématiques, l'auteur circonscrit le sens de cette spécularité énigmatique entre architecture et construction. Le matériau, le chantier, l'ornement, le projet, le détail, l'histoire... autant d'éclairages qui permettent de distinguer dans cette superposition à la fois évidente et complexe des modes particuliers d'apparaître, et qui révèlent le caractère spécifique de l'esthétique architecturale. Pour autant, le style ou la beauté ne constituent pas des données positives. C'est toute l'ambiguïté de cet art : exprimer, voire afficher l'artifice par lequel l'architecture, au sens propre, se dresse, tout en masquant cette dépendance par trop triviale.
