Résumé:
Contemporary urban development is increasingly characterized by a reliance on diagrams to convey the rational statistical point of view of the professional urban planner. In his new book Urbanisms architect Steven Holl suggests that just as modern medicine has recognized the power of the irrational psyche urban planners need to realize that the experiential power of cities cannot be completely rationalized and must be studied subjectively. With a selection of urban and architectural projects from his thirty year practice Holl stretches urban planning into the domain of uncertainty. Analyzing a wide range of matters from everyday experiences to spatial data Urbanisms examines how perception and the senses are intertwined with the material space and light of urban form

Résumé:
This monograph surveys thirty of the most iconic buildings designed by Skidmore, Owings Merrill (SOM), the legendary American architecture firm, since its founding in 1936. Along with such architects as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, SOM is largely credited with propagating the Internationalist style of architecture that filled the New York skyline with such mid-century masterworks as Lever House (1952) and Chase Manhattan Plaza (1961). Before the current age of the super skyscraper, SOM designed what was for almost thirty years the world's tallest building, Chicago's Sears Tower (1973), as well as the city's John Hancock Center (1970). With an essay by the American critic Nicholas Adams that contextualizes the importance of SOM's contribution to the globalization of architecture - and its participation in less emphatically vertical structures, such as the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo (1962) and the l Hajj Terminal at King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (1981) - this title provides the first-ever independently authored overview on a firm that continues to make headlines to this day.

Résumé:
Published in 1923, Toward an Architecture had an immediate impact on architects throughout Europe and remains a foundational text for students and professionals. Le Corbusier urges readers to cease thinking of architecture as a matter of historical styles and instead open their eyes to the modern world. Simultaneously a historian, critic, and prophet, he provocatively juxtaposes views of classical Greece and Renaissance Rome with images of airplanes, cars, and ocean liners. Le Corbusier's slogans�such as "the house is a machine for living in"�and philosophy changed how his contemporaries saw the relationship between architecture, technology, and history. This edition includes a new translation of the original text, a scholarly introduction, and background notes that illuminate the text and illustrations. Jean-Louis Cohen is the Sheldon H. Solow Chair in the History of Architecture at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. He has written extensively on Le Corbusier's work. John Goodman is a translator and art historian. He has rendered some thirty books from French into English.

Depuis les logements sociaux réalisés au lendemain de la Révolution du 25 Avril 1974 jusqu'à la Fondation Camargo au Brésil, inaugurée en 2008, chacun éclaire des points de recherche et de réflexion, à Lisbonne pour la réhabilitation du quartier du Chiado après l'incendie de 1988, à Montreuil avec le plan d'urbanisme du centre-ville, à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle pour un musée, le premier... Ce livre relate ainsi une rencontre au long cours, commencée il y a une trentaine d'années et jamais interrompue. Deux regards s'y croisent et s'y complètent, celui de Dominique Machabert, écrivain et journaliste, et celui de Laurent Beaudouin, architecte. Mais au-delà des réalisations, Siza évoque dans ces entretiens des personnalités qui lui sont chères et livre ses réflexions sur son pays, le Portugal - autant d'opportunités d'en savoir un peu plus sur la pensée profonde d'un grand architecte contemporain.

Résumé:
Westelaken's buildings are compositions in brick, wood, glass, and concrete, a spatial interplay between matter and light in which the principles of arrangement are comparable to those used by composers: rhythm, measure, timbre, dynamics. This book examines six of his buildings. Exhaustively photographed, the overview includes a number of plans and an interview with the architect.
