Résumé:
In this book, renowned architectural historian Dietrich Neumann presents a new, critical look at Mies and complicates the established narrative about him. Diverging from the reverential posture of many existing accounts, Neumann insists on the importance of the contemporary contex t—social, political, and architectural— for understanding the architect’s life and work. The book draws on many overlooked archival and primary sources to demonstrate how and why Mies’s designs were shaped and received, foregrounding contemporary critics’ responses and the work of Mies’s collaborators and peers. It presents several previously unknown buildings, projects, and furniture designs and challenges long-established interpretations of key works. Comprehensively illustrated and covering the entirety of Mies’s career, this ambitious book is the most substantial account to date of the life and work of one of the most important architects of the twentieth century.

Résumé:
Architect Paul Rudolph (1918–1997) was known for his iconic modern houses and exemplary Brutalist buildings in exposed concrete. Rudolph’s popularity peaked during the 1950s and 1960s, when he served as the chair of Yale University’s Department of Architecture, but his work fell from favor with the advent of postmodernism in the 1970s. This compact volume provides an introduction to and long-overdue reassessment of the architect’s trailblazing career, from his modernist Florida houses to his public and institutional buildings, unrealized megastructures, experimental interiors, and later mixed use developments in Asia. Abraham Thomas examines how Rudolph explored concepts such as functionalism, urbanism, and modular construction across decades and continents. Richly illustrated with photographs of the structures and Rudolph’s own drawings as well as models, furniture, and period press clippings, this book sheds light on the architect’s process and takes up themes as important in his time as in our own, such as civic design, housing development, and experimental materials and methods.

Résumé:
This little book paints a portrait of BAST, an acronym for "Bureau d'Architecture Sans Titre" (Untitled Architecture Office), through 20 identical questions asked to 20 people selected from among the clients, service providers and collaborators of the Toulouse-based agency. Through the answers, sometimes terse, sometimes prolix, grouped together and organised according to a simple principle (one page, one answer), a profile of the agency emerges: positioning, method, qualities, faults... which allows us to better understand its approach, but also the environment and the crisis era in which it is embedded.

Résumé:
Amancio Williams (1913-1989) è uno degli esponenti più importanti e originali della cultura argentina e del movimento moderno; tuttavia la sua architettura rimane in parte ancora inesplorata. La produzione critica in Italia non sempre ha garantito una sufficiente diffusione della sua rara quanto inusuale dimensione progettuale, fondata su antitesi capaci di dar vita a soluzioni sorprendenti e uniche. Questo volume è un‘occasione per riscoprire le strategie tecniche e compositive di Williams, in grado di rispondere ai temi e alle esigenze della contemporaneità. Il libro conta su un repertorio di immagini inedite, su un ricco contributo teorico e su una esegesi critica del suo modus operandi, accompagnata da schemi e analisi re-interpretative.

The new "A.MAG Long Collection" presents a single project by a single architect in a special graphic design format that distinguishes it from other collections the magazine publishes. Each instalment will document works of different scales and formal contexts. This unique selection of projects which establish new paradigms in architecture begins with David Adjaye’s Mole House. The derelict property in the London borough of Hackney, made infamous by a landlord who incessantly tunnelled underneath it without a permit, was completely renovated by the architect as a three-storey live/work space that also serves as a single-family dwelling for artist Sue Weber.

Résumé:
Richard Murphy is a multi award-winning architect.The materials he employs vary from stone (rubble, smooth ashlar or rusticated), with carefully assembled steel sections that form the structure, stairs and handrails, corrugated iron or planted roofing, dressed lead flashing, etched glass blocks, mirrors, with timber and coloured and polished plaster as warm interior finishes. All the materials are used with great precision, clarity as well as ambiguity. He is well known as an architect who has been influenced by the Italian architect Carlo Scarpa (about whom he has written the definitive analysis of his most important work, the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona), but Murphy’s architecture is never a pastiche of Scarpa, and frequently echoes and develops other influences such as Glenn Murcutt, Frank Lloyd Wright or Richard MacCormac, for whom he worked.

Résumé:
For over a decade, Brooklyn-based architecture firm SO–IL has been envisioning houses and other projects in between and adjacent to domestic spaces. Reflecting on the state of housing design today, often constrained by pressures of production, SO–IL approaches these projects with generous experimentation. They adapt and adjust the architectural and physical "body languages" of domesticity while operating through the framing and occupation of liminal spaces. The projects featured in "In Depth" represent SO-IL’s attempt to "hack" the codes, cores, courts and corridors; to stretch and inhabit "inefficiencies"; to turn the old stones and bring fragments of buried treasures from the past into the present; to question if housing for all should be the yardstick for the shelters of our souls; and to ask the future generations what kind of home we should design for them.
