In The Perfect House, bestselling author Witold Rybczynski, whose previous books have transformed our understanding of domestic architecture, reveals how a handful of Palladio's houses in an obscure corner of the Venetian Republic should have made their presence felt hundreds of years later and halfway across the globe.

Résumé:
S'il est vrai que les bâtiments et les objets d'ameublement que nous qualifions de beaux évoquent des aspects du bonheur, on pourrait néanmoins demander pourquoi nous trouvons une telle évocation nécessaire. Pourquoi ce que notre environnement a à nous dire serait-il si important? Pourquoi les architectes devraient-ils se soucier de concevoir des bâtiments qui expriment des sentiments et des idées spécifiques? Pourquoi sommes-nous si vulnérables à ce que disent les espaces où nous vivons ? Depuis plusieurs livres déjà, Alain de Botton s'intéresse à notre bonheur et cherche les moyens de nous rendre plus heureux. Après la lecture de Proust, puis celle des grands philosophes, l'art de mieux voyager et l'importance de notre statut social, voici qu'il se penche sur notre cadre de vie et plus particulièrement sur l'architecture des lieux où nous vivons et travaillons. En quoi l'un et l'autre influencent notre mode de pensée, notre façon de nous comporter, en bref notre existence au quotidien, tel est le sujet de L'architecture du bonheur. Faisant preuve comme toujours d'une éblouissante érudition - et de beaucoup d'humour -, Alain de Botton nous entraîne de Paris à Tokyo, de Londres à Brasília, du Kent à l'Engadine, et bien d'autres lieux encore, à la recherche de la maison idéale.

Résumé:
Architecture and environmental design are among the last professional fields to develop a sustained and nuanced discussion concerning ethics. Hemmed in by politics and powerful clients on one side and the often unscrupulous practices of the construction industry on the other, environmental designers have been traditionally reluctant to address ethical issues head on. And yet the rapid urbanization of the world's population continues to swell into new megacities, each less healthy, welcoming, secure, or environmentally sustainable than the next. Green, carbon-reduced, and sustainable building practices are important ways architects have recently responded to the symptoms of the crisis, but are these efforts really addressing the core issues? Taking the Din� (Navajo) "Hogan Song"�a song used to protect and nourish the personhood of newly constructed dwellings�as their inspiration, the architects, philosophers, poets, and other contemporary scholars contributing to this volume demonstrate that a deeper, more radical change in our relationship to the built world needs to occur. While offering a careful critique of modernist, corporate, or techno-enthralled design practices, these essays investigate an alternative "relational ecology" whose wisdom draws from ancient and often-marginalized voices, if not the whisperings of the earth itself.

Résumé:
The work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari has been inspirational for architects and architectural theorists in recent years. It has influenced the design work of architects as diverse as Greg Lynn and David Chipperfield, and is regularly cited by avant-gardist architects and by students, but usually without being well understood. The first collaboration between Deleuze and Guattari was Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, which was taken up as a manifesto for the post-structuralist life, and was associated with the spirit of the student revolts of 1968. Their ideas promote creativity and innovation, and their work is wide-ranging, complex and endlessly stimulating. They range across politics, psychoanalysis, physics, art and literature, changing preconceptions along the way. Deleuze & Guattari for Architects is a perfect introduction for students of architecture in design studio at all levels, students of architecture pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in architectural theory, academics and interested architectural practitioners.

A leading Italian design professional, Finizio has gathered an international symposium of architects to explore how urban planning, architecture, and design ideas can create a new design philosophy for the automobile as a sort of domestic moving space that interacts with the new urban environment. This richly illustrated book focuses on the relationship between the static city and “mobile architecture” of the car through the works of some of the most important contemporary international architects such as Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhass, Jean Nouvel, Massimiliano Fuksas, and Alessandro Mendini.This is an urgent, exciting design mission that finally deals with how thinking about the urban car must coevolve in profound new ways.
