Résumé:
Alvar Aalto et Reima Pietilä se sont nourris de leur terre natale aux saisons extrêmes, la Finlande, nation récente mais toujours ancrée à d’anciennes racines forestières et paysannes libres. Leur activité prolifique, constante expérimentation menée au sein de deux laboratoires d’architecture respectueux de la vie du «modeste individu», est le résultat d’une tradition unique de concours d’architecture démocratiques. Elle compte de nombreux bâtiments à travers le monde, aménagés jusqu’au détail, toujours saisissants d’intériorité et de prévenance. Imprégnés d’une harmonie subtile avec les lieux, leurs espaces hospitaliers appellent à être parcourus et à s’abriter au cœur de la dynamique spatiale qui les définit.

Résumé:
Parmi les oeuvres les plus abouties et les plus inspirées de Le Corbusier trône en bonne place la "Louise-Catherine", péniche aujourd'hui amarrée quai d'Austerlitz, à Paris. Présentant la rare particularité d'être construit en béton, cet immense chaland signe le triomphe d'une vision de l'architecture avant-gardiste, aux lignes simples et dépouillées. Depuis les années 1960, cet asile flottant est un motif de fascination et d'inspiration pour l'urbaniste Michel Cantal-Dupart, qui a choisi de mener l'enquête sur la "Louise-Catherine".

Résumé:
Didier Fiuza Faustino: misarchitectures brings together for the first time the entire work of Didier Faustino and his office Bureau des Mesarchitectures. Through drawings, diagrams, photographs and essays this part-monograph part-manifesto explores the ideas that drive Faustino’s architectural and artistic works: the political and ethical conditions for constructing sites and spaces within the socio-cultural layout of the city, and in particular how to critically approach the problem of the body in both private and public space. At the same time, the book revisits Faustino’s projects – from sculptures and installations, to public art, architectures and books – up to his most recent work, offering new insight into the architect’s perspective.

Konstantin Melnikov (1890–1974) is unquestionably one of the outstanding architects of the 20th century—in spite of the fact that he fell silent early, leaving behind only limited work that was insufficiently publicized, and restricted almost exclusively to Moscow, the city of his birth in which he spent nearly his entire life and which did not appreciate him.

Résumé:
Konstantin Melnikov (1890–1974) is unquestionably one of the outstanding architects of the 20th century—in spite of the fact that he fell silent early, leaving behind only limited work that was insufficiently publicized, and restricted almost exclusively to Moscow, the city of his birth in which he spent nearly his entire life and which did not appreciate him. He was raised in humble circumstances, but enjoyed an excellent education. Beginning in the mid-1920s, after the turmoil that followed the war, revolution and civil war, his career soared at almost meteoric speed as he took the lead in the young Soviet architecture movement with completely autonomous, highly artistic buildings that were free from dogmatism of any kind.

Résumé:
Although his best-known project was the World Trade Center in New York City, Japanese American architect Minoru Yamasaki (1912-1986) worked to create moments of surprise, serenity, and delight in distinctive buildings around the world. In his adopted home of Detroit, where he lived and worked for the last half of his life, Yamasaki produced many important designs that range from public buildings to offices and private residences. In Yamasaki in Detroit: A Search for Serenity, author John Gallagher presents both a biography of Yamasaki-or Yama as he was known-and an examination of his working practices, with an emphasis on the architect's search for a style that would express his artistic goals.
