Résumé:
In Architecture of Thought, Andrzej Piotrowski maps and conceptually explores material practices of the past, showing how physical artifacts and visual environments manifest culturally rooted modes of thought and participate in the most nuanced processes of negotiations and ideological exchanges. Combining design thinking with academic methods of inquiry, Piotrowski traces ancient to modern architectural histories and—through critical readings of select buildings—examines the role of nonverbal exchanges in the development of an accumulated Western identity. Operating from the assertion that buildings are the most permanent record of unself-conscious beliefs and attitudes, it discusses Byzantium and the West after iconoclasm, the conquest and colonization of Mesoamerica, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in Eastern Europe, the rise of the culture of consumerism in Victorian England, and High Modernism as its consequence.

Résumé:
Les Entretiens sur l'architecture ont été publiés en 1863. Viollet-le-Duc y concentre, plus que dans le Dictionnaire, l'essentiel de son expérience et de sa pensée. L'architecture n'est pas la seule affaire des architectes, c'est l'affaire de tous : elle naît et se développe dans et avec les sociétés où elle s'incarne.

Résumé:
In the last days of 1907, the German novelist and exponent of glass architecture Paul Scheerbart embarked upon an attempt to invent a perpetual motion machine. Originally published in German in 1910, is an indefinable blend of diary, diagrams and digression that falls somewhere between memoir and reverie.

Résumé:
In The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture, Pier Vittorio Aureli proposes that a sharpened formal consciousness in architecture is a precondition for political, cultural, and social engagement with the city. Aureli revisits the work of four architects whose projects were advanced through the making of architectural form but whose concern was the city at large: Andrea Palladio, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Etienne-Louis Boullée, and Oswald Mathias Ungers. The work of these architects, Aureli argues, addressed the transformations of the modern city and its urban implications through the elaboration of specific and strategic architectural forms.

Résumé:
In this volume, Mario Carpo points to one key practice of modernity: the making of identical copies. Carpo highlights two examples of identicality crucial to the shaping of architectural modernity: in the fifteenth century, Leon Battista Alberti's invention of architectural design, according to which a building is an identical copy of the architect's design; and, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the mass production of identical copies from mechanical master models, matrixes, imprints, or molds. The modern power of the identical, Carpo argues, came to an end with the rise of digital technologies. Everything digital is variable. Carpo compares new forms of postindustrial digital craftsmanship to hand-making and the cultures and technologies of variations that existed before the coming of machine-made, identical copies. Carpo reviews the unfolding of digitally based design and construction from the early 1990s to the present, and suggests a new agenda for architecture in an age of variable objects and of generic and participatory authorship.

Idée-titre du dernier livre de l'architecte, cette formule fut diversement interprétée dans son concept. Cependant, sa célèbre allitération fait aussi entendre des bruits de végétaux en mouvement, feuilles et fleurs, ou flots : motifs qui constituent la base même des formulations ornementales dont Sullivan a été le grand inventeur. La formule apparut à la maturité de Sullivan (1896), mais l'Autobiographie montre qu'elle est née plus haut, dans les mille sources dont l'enfance est témoin. Et que sa poésie relève d'une expérience sensible du monde, entreprise par un garçon qui promena son imaginaire parmi les bois, les collines, les lacs du Massachussetts, et qu'il poursuivit dans la construction des villes.

Social demands upon architects are increasing, for instance that of sustainability, with strict requirements imposed before designs are even considered. The book's contributors argue that the structure and integrity of designs – their craft – must underlie projects before external influences play a role. The architect's craft is approached from three perspectives: the outlook and position of the architect, the composition of designs, and the choice of building materials, emphasising how architects can communicate and justify their craft-based choices.
