Résumé:
While he was working to complete the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, impressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, and T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and temporalities reverberate across Zumthor’s oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale.

Résumé:
Over the past years, Dhaka-based architect Kashef Chowdhury has become renowned for a body of work that responds with great sensitivity to places, local circumstances, and the demands of a building's users. At the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Chowdhury presented four recent projects his firm URBANA has realised in Bangladesh in a fascinating exhibition which he has designed with equal sensitivity and care. The labyrinth is an age-old space of intrigue, discovery and accident, which has fascinated architects throughout history. For his installation in Venice, Chowdhury challenged spatial perceptions by a simple turn: the labyrinth - which hides and blocks - is suddenly made transparent. Notwithstanding the obvious reference to Venetian glass, the labyrinth retains, or even accentuates, a sense of spatial disorientation.

Morphosis is headed by Thom Mayne, 2005 winner of the Pritzker Prize. The eighteen projects presented in this volume were all conceived within the past seven years, and have been selected to illustrate the continuation of Mayne’s interest in an architecture of complexity – one that promotes difference, the pursuit of ambiguity, inclusion, the coexistence of apparent contradictions, imperfection, and more. Through diverse programmes, the chosen works reveal the scope of the practice’s research and design activity. Included are the Perot Museum, Cornell University’s Bill & Melinda Gates Hall, China’s National Art Museum, Quay Quarter Sydney, and ENI Headquarters in Italy.

Résumé:
Ce dernier tome conclut le cycle des correspondances familiales de Le Corbusier. Les années 1947-1965 sont marquées par ses plus grands succès architecturaux, mais aussi par ses chagrins intimes les plus déchirants. A l’aube de ses soixante ans, Le Corbusier engage une fois de plus son atelier dans une dynamique de projets qu’il mène parallèlement à un travail critique et théorique sur les nouveaux enjeux de l’architecture. De la mise en chantier de Chandigarh à la réalisation du Carpenter center d’Harvard, ses voyages se multiplient et donnent lieu à une correspondance nourrie où se dessinent ses premiers dialogues avec la mort – qu’accentueront la disparition de son épouse et de sa mère – mais aussi ses réflexions sur la pérennisation de son oeuvre.

Résumé:
'Voyage Le Corbusier' collects for the first time a compendium of sketchbook drawings and watercolors of Charles-Edouard Jeanneret—a young student who would become the modernist architect Le Corbusier. Between 1907 and 1911, Jeanneret traveled throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, carrying an array of drawing supplies and documenting all that he saw: classical ruins, details of interiors, vibrant landscapes, and the people and objects that populated them. Jacob Brillhart excavates the "visual thinking" of the twentieth century's architect, reproducing a selection of 175 drawings from these early sketchbooks.
