Résumé:
Japan-based Go Hasegawa has found himself increasingly in the spotlight in recent years, a much sought-after younger architect who has built a career through his intensive inquiry on our perception of space, gravity, and time. He challenges pre-existing ideas on largeness/smallness, heaviness/lightness, and newness/oldness, seeking values not previously recognized. His work has explored several building types in addition to the houses for which he is known. This issue gives an in-depth look at Hasegawas practice, featuring apartments in Okachimachi, a gazebo in Shanghai, an iced coffee shop in Tokyo, a chapel in Guastalla, a townhouse in Asakusa, and other works.

Résumé:
The "Green Heart" exhibition showcases the "Marina One" project by ingenhoven architects, which will open in the center of Singapore at the end of 2017. As an international role model for living and working, "Marina One" makes an innovative contribution to the discourse on mega-cities, especially in tropical regions, which, in the context of increasing population and climate change, face enormous challenges. The high-density building complex with its mix of uses extends to over 400,000 square meters and, with its group of four high-rise buildings, defines the "Green Heart"—a public space extending over several stories. This three-dimensional green oasis reflects the diversity of tropical flora.

Résumé:
Dans l'agencement de bureaux et de grands magasins de la fin des années 1960, les cloisonnements modulaires ou les systèmes artificiels d’éclairage et d’air conditionné intégrés aux plafonds créent une idée d’espace flexible héritier du plan libre : l’open space. Sur fond de contestation des jeunes et des ouvriers d'Italie, des avant-gardes florentines transposent ces systèmes à l’échelle de l'espace public. C’est dans ce contexte, rendu particulier en Italie par les analyses marxistes de phénomènes métropolitains et territoriaux, que naît le projet des Archizoom de la No-Stop City, Residential Parkings, Climatic Universal System (1969-1972). C'est à un voyage intérieur au sein de ce pays de cocagne pop que nous convie Roberto Gargiani.

Résumé:
Héritier des contreplongées spiralées du Monument à la IIIe Internationale de Tatline (1919-1920) et contemporain de la créativité filmique d'Octobre (1927), de La Ligne générale (1929) et de deux projets inachevés, Capital (1927-1928) et Glass House (1926-1930), ce dernier aurait dû mettre en abyme l'Architecture et le Cinéma. Fils de l'architecte Mikhaïl Eisenstein (1867-1920), Sergueï Eisenstein (1898-1948) réinvente la transparence de l’« espace cinématographique » (le tournage d'intérieurs, la pellicule, la projection). Mais comme constructiviste et homme de théâtre, il entendait également scénariser la dystopie capitaliste par le biais d’une transformation sociale inspirée par les tours de verre de Mies van der Rohe et Frank Lloyd Wright.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage présente en détail le concept développé par Dominique Perrault pour la métamorphose de la tour Montparnasse. Convaincu que cet édifice participe à la construction d'une ville durable, l'architecte propose un Paris à la hauteur d'une métropole mondiale en unissant vision politique, imagination et savoir-faire. Il développe un ensemble architectural résolument tourné vers l'avenir, démonstration qu'il est possible de construire des immeubles de grande hauteur qui soient responsables, résilients, économes et parfaitement intégrés à leur environnement. Respectant l'emprise foncière de la tour existante, le projet dépasse la question posée en augmentant les surfaces par une extension hissant la tour à plus de 300m, et en diversifiant les programmes.
