Résumé:
Houses or domestic buildings are often among the first projects young architects design. For David Adjaye, such early commissions connected him to a rising generation of creators with whom he shared a range of sensibilities. His artistry, clever use of space, and inexpensive, unexpected materials resulted in many innovative and widely published houses. Selecting projects that are challenging because of their sites, complexity, or architectural possibility, Adjaye has both expanded and sharpened his domestic design, taking it in new directions and to new locations.

Résumé:
Portman’s America & Other Speculations takes an unconventional and speculative approach towards the understanding and future potentials of the work of one of the world’s most creative, controversial, daring, and prolific architects. Combining the talents of an architect, artist, and developer, John Portman was able to embark on a series of large-scale building projects—megastructures—that radically redefined the relationship of architecture to the city and its citizens. Portman’s own voice and ideas complement the contributions of others, including new photographs by Iwan Baan, to present a more complex and nuanced reading of both the architect and his architecture. Finally, the repertoire of Portman’s buildings is analyzed in meticulous detail and used by a group of students from the Harvard Graduate School of Design as a catalyst for a host of divergent and new architectural speculations.

Résumé:
The evolution of Jo Nagasaka’s design process is unveiled in a unique publication about his practice. This book tells the story of Schemata Architects, encapsulating the essence of the studio’s work. Highlighting methods and processes through a series of essays, the designer offers insight into how concepts were developed in order to realise the wide-ranging portfolio of Schemata Architects that are showcased in the book. Nagasaka’s focus is often drawn to tired, found objects or unused spaces. Through investigations to seek modern solutions and pioneering re-purposing techniques, he manages to transform interiors and breathe life back into objects. His projects range from large-scale installations and interactive interior environments to smaller-scale products. Revealing insights into his way of working, the book highlights new findings about how the designer is able to capture the essence of his thoughts and relate the key aspects of a project in creative and innovative ways. The articles emphasise the designer's concepts, giving unique insight into the firm's process from the designer’s perspective.

Résumé:
A l'occasion de l'exposition « La Maison Magique », les architectes de l'Atelier Bow-Wow (Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Momoyo Kaijima et Yoichi Tamai) et Didier Fiuza Faustino ont choisit de travailler un matériau commun dans une logique de production cyclique. Ce matériau, le bois, utilisé dans la construction des deux architectures, est prélevé au Portugal et y sera réexpédié dès la fin de l'exposition pour une deuxième vie. Bien que les architectes aient décidé de travailler cette même matière, les deux habitacles qu'ils présentent offrent aux visiteurs deux réflexions complémentaires. Le catalogue est illustré par une galerie de photographies de l'exposition et du making of de cette installation inédite composée de deux maisons, Chigi House et A home is not a hole. Les plans d'exécution de ces deux structures à la croisée de l'architecture et de l'art sont également reproduits.

Résumé:
"The space between" is the third part of the collected works of the legendary English Brutalist architects Alison (1928–93) and Peter Smithson (1923–2003), a complement to the volumes The Charged Void: Architecture and The Charged Void: Urbanism (respectively published in 2001 and 2005). While the Charged Void books dealt with both the built and unbuilt projects of the Smithsons, supplemented with brief commentary, The Space Between is a richly illustrated text book on the architects, with drawings and photographs mostly by the Smithsons themselves. It can be considered a summary of their thinking as architects that spans the entirety of their career, attempting to grasp the identity of places through the observation of everyday life, developing what they liked to call “a sensibility of place.”

Résumé:
In response to the theme of the 2016 Venice Biennial, Portugal presented a site-specific pavilion occupying an urban front in the midst of physical and social regeneration on Giudecca, an archipelago just south of Venice. The pavilion exhibited four works by Pritzger Prize winner Álvaro Siza (born 1933) on the theme of social housing Campo di Marte (Venice), Schilderswijk (The Hague), Schlesisches Tor (Berlin) and Bairro da Bouça (Porto) revealing his collaborative experience with the local inhabitants and unique understanding of the European city and citizenship. These projects resulted in the creation of neighborhood spaces aimed at a more tolerant, multicultural society, a subject important to the current European political agenda. This book unveils the curatorial process and the display of these works in Venice. Included are images of Siza’s recent visits to the neighborhoods, plus a presentation of the changes triggered by immigration, ghettoization, gentrification and “touristification.”
