Résumé:
From the swooping concrete vaults of the TWA Terminal at JFK Airport to the 630-foot-tall Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the iconic designs of Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) captured the aspirations and values of mid-20th-century America. Potent expressions of national power, these and other Saarinen-designed structures—including the GM Technical Center, Dulles International Airport, and John Deere headquarters—helped create the international image of the United States in the decades following World War II. Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future offers a new and wide-ranging look at the entire scope of Saarinen’s career. This is the first book on Saarinen to incorporate significant research and materials from the newly available archives of his office, and includes the most complete portfolio of Saarinen's projects to date—a chronological survey of more than 100 built and unbuilt works, previously unpublished photographs, plans, and working drawings. Lavishly illustrated, this major study shows how Saarinen gave his structures an expressive dimension and helped introduce modern architecture to the mainstream of American practice. In his search for a richer and more varied modern architecture, Saarinen become one of the most prolific and controversial practitioners of his time.

Résumé:
In 1946 Ove Arup, a leading engineer of the twentieth century, founded a firm of consulting engineers that brought to fruition such iconic structures as the Sydney Opera House, the Olympic Village in Beijing, London’s Millennium Bridge, the Beaubourg Centre in Paris, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, and Kansai Airport in Japan among many others. Devoted to a “commonsense” reform of engineering and architectural practice, Arup (1895-1988) pioneered the way for modern architects and engineers to collaborate successfully and responsibly on large projects. Peter Jones, the first researcher to have full access to the vast private Arup archives, tells the story of Ove Arup’s extraordinary life, his social, aesthetic, and environmental concerns, and his practical contributions during a period of political and technological upheaval. Jones also offers a revelatory new account of the Sydney Opera House and the character of those involved in its complex construction.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage retrace la trajectoire atypique de l’architecte Jack Cornaz, figure singulière de l’architecture romande de la première moitié du XXe siècle, ainsi que le contexte dans lequel elle s’inscrit. Passéiste, dissidente ou marginale – selon la position de laquelle émanent la critique ou la consécration – la production de l’architecte est présentée pour la première fois à travers l’exploration de son fonds d’archives enrichie de recherches latérales multiples. Diverse en termes quantitatifs, uniforme en termes typologiques et programmatiques, cette production est pourtant assez consistante pour suggérer elle-même les thèmes et les motifs qui permettent de la saisir à la fois dans la variété de ses expressions et dans l’unité de ses intentions. L’analyse de quelques-uns de ses points nodaux – type de clientèle, pratique sous influences, actualité de l’ancien, renvoi problématique à la tradition – est l’occasion d’aborder divers sujets intéressant la discipline architecturale même : imitation vs invention, allégeance stylistique, accès à la commande, relations entre l’architecte et ses clients, caractère autobiographique de la relation à l’objet…

Résumé:
Americain architect Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized American homes with his Prairie Style houses and organic sense of interior design. Between 1890 and 1930, Wright achieved international prominence and designed many of his most influential houses. It was also during these years that Wright worked with and employed a number of other highly talented architects and designers. In "Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School", Brooks examines the work of George Neidecken, Marion Mahony Griffin, Francis Barry Byrne, Herrman Von Holst, John Lloyd Wright, and others, relating their production and artistic philosophies to those of each other and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Résumé:
For more than twenty years, David Piscuskas and Juergen Riehm, principals of 1100 Architect, have honed a distinctive architecture informed by proportion, materiality, light, and detail. The firm's designs do not adhere to any specific stylistic codes but do share an understated architectural signature: an elegance of proportion, an innovative yet direct use of materials, a meticulous execution. A sequel to "1100 Architect" (1997), this new monograph includes more than twenty recent buildings and projects, notably Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School and the Irish Hunger Memorial, both in New York City, and the Naha City Gallery and Apartment House, in Japan. The firm’s work encompasses cultural, institutional, residential, and commercial work. In addition to a perceptive essay by a long-time observer of the firm’s work, the partners discuss five design elements essential to their practice: detail, materiality, effortlessness, permeability, and recognition.

Résumé:
This volume presents, in a sequence of ten conversations, Bernard Tschumi's autobiography in architecture, from his conceptual proposals of the early 1970s through his major current buildings and projects. Tschumi approaches his work as the gradual construction of an argument. The conversations, drawn from a six-year series of interviews with critic Enrique Walker, represent that argument in an analysis of Tschumi’s writings, buildings, and other works. The conversations offer a clear-eyed analysis of Tschumi’s work, suggesting the interwoven relationship between the strategies of each individual design and the formation of the architect’s overarching theoretical project. Among the major works of architecture investigated are Parc de la Villette in Paris; Le Fresnoy National Studio for Contemporary Arts in Tourcoing, France; and the New Acropolis Museum in Athens. Also included are Tschumi's conceptual works and writings such as "The Manhattan Transcripts" and "Architecture and Disjunction".

"Norman Foster works 3" focuses on projects realized from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, including Stansted Airport outside London, Bilbao's subway system, and the Millennium Tower in Tokyo. This volume examines each project in depth, featuring numerous photographs, original sketches and computer generated drawings. From airports to underground transit stations, from museums to office towers, every building designed by Foster and Partners is a study in the synthesis of a structure's individual elements : its foundation and use, the quality of its materials, and its relation to the skyline or cityscape.
