Résumé:
The three works selected for this volume on Tadao Ando are not recent in chronological terms. However, the quality of being novel is one of the least appropriate ways to approach the Japanese architect’s work, which is wholly disassociated from this. The three houses – in Osaka, Ashiya (Hyogo), and Tokyo – can be described as symbolic junctures in Ando’s exploration of(...)

Résumé:
The three works selected for this volume on Tadao Ando are not recent in chronological terms. However, the quality of being novel is one of the least appropriate ways to approach the Japanese architect’s work, which is wholly disassociated from this. The three houses – in Osaka, Ashiya (Hyogo), and Tokyo – can be described as symbolic junctures in Ando’s exploration of residential design, with clear differences in their respective scales, plans, and contexts, but with an identical radical approach through which the building’s form reacts to these conditions and transforms them into its intrinsic qualities. Includes an extensive text and photographs by Yukio Futagawa.

Résumé:
The architecture of Umberto Riva (1928-2021) has, over the span 60 years, distinguished itself by its stimulating complexity. This monograph analyzes, for the first time in a chronologically extended form, his work in the field of interiors and exhibitions; fundamental areas of investigation for the Milanese architect. In domestic spaces in contact with nature, in city apartments or in public places, the restless and radical character of Riva's work emerges, in which the search for form brings with it a more intimate reflection on living. In the field of displays, the architect instead stages a complex relationship between the works on display, the curatorial narrative and the museum space, proving to be one of the best heirs and a continuation of the Italian museological revolution of the twentieth century.

Résumé:
Designed by Kenzo Tange (1913–2005), the Yoyogi National Gymnasium was completed in 1964. It is situated in an open area in Tokyo and was built for the Olympic Games held that year. The iconic structure, with its elegantly curved roofs suspended from twin masts, is an architectural marvel. Inspired by the Coliseum in Rome, as well as by the architecture of Le Corbusier and Eero Saarinen, Tange adapted Western ideas to meet Japanese aesthetics. In this book, five viewpoints for evaluating the facility are examined in detail. Through the lens of Japanese modernism, it reveals how the structure was made, and how the gymnasium and swimming pool have been used and managed since.

Résumé:
The second volume in the ‘Chapters’ series from Brussels-based architecture firm 51N4E focuses on how design processes can be shaped through dialogue. First, it investigates their work together with two design-focused consulting firms, endeavour (Antwerp) and Denkstatt (Basel), wherein all three explore the boundaries of architecture, advocating openness and dialogue with clients and users as opposed to autonomy and monologue. The book’s second part examines the hidden presence of this 'design in dialogue' approach in a wide range of European architecture firms and their projects, illustrating how this can create productive momentum and foster engagement.

Résumé:
This volume presents seventeen houses designed by the New York studio MOS Architects. "It is an article of faith for MOS that the house is like a small city. MOS think urbanistically through the architectural scale, insisting that even the smallest residential project speaks to a larger idea of ??the collective. But the idea if the city implied here is less the dense and fragmented metropolis of the early twentieth century, and more of the dispersed field-like condition of the late twentieth and twenty-first century city: more Los Angeles than New York or Berlin."

Kengo Kuma avait presque 10 ans lorsqu'il visita, à l'occasion des Jeux olympiques de Tokyo de 1964, le gymnase Yoyogi, en forme d'immense poisson, conçu par Kenzo Tange. Ce bâtiment le marqua profondément et suite à cette expérience forte, il décida de devenir architecte. À travers vingt-cinq histoires axées autour de quartiers et de quelques-uns de ses projets, cet ouvrage intimiste dresse un tableau du Tokyo qui a inspiré sa vocation à un jeune garçon et illustre la façon dont l'héritage national japonais a contribué à modeler durablement sa réflexion et son inspiration. Il nous offre également à nous donner un aperçu de la culture japonaise et des clés pour comprendre comment tradition et modernité s'articulent au Japon.

Résumé:
This book is the first catalogue of Yona Friedman as an artist. In fact, it presents for the first time the whole work of art of this pivotal figure, well-known as an architect and theorist since the 60s of the last century. The catalogue shows an extensive collection of visual materials, including images, cartoons and pictograms, drawn by Yona Friedman in order to replace the text with the image in his way of thinking. ''Drawing for my own pleasure meant that I enjoyed looking at my drawings, and so I pasted them on the walls of my home, of my studio, on furniture, and on the refrigerator. Indeed, I produced them as the personal landscape of my surroundings, even decorating the ceiling of my atelier at blvd Pasteur and my home at blvd. Garibaldi.''
