Résumé:
This edition highlights two houses by Oscar Niemeyer, the Brazilian modernist architect. Known as Casa das Canoas and Casa Cavanelas, both residences are located in Rio de Janeiro and both were built in the early 1950s. Yet, according to the essay by Yoshio Futagawa, the contrast between them is quite intriguing. The former, Niemeyer’s own residence, demonstrates the spatial truth in privacy that the architect explored; the latter startles the viewer with spectacular features orchestrated through Niemeyer’s collaboration with landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx.

Résumé:
According to Ole Vanggaard, ''the borderland between architecture and engineering is chaotic, a dangerous field to work in. Here the basic rules of art and technique are not valid.'' In the course of his career, the Danish engineer has worked with many architects to realise tectonically challenging structures. This book consists of articles and essays by architects and engineers that bear witness to Vanggaard’s engagement with architecture and structure, his ability to introduce dynamics, beauty, and strength in his projects. For him, chaos makes sense, and concepts are developed from a focused perception and an ability to develop calculation methods for complicated constructions.

"R.

Drawing extensively on his archive and with over 300 images, the book follows Fuller’s explorations of geometry, language and intellectual property in their relation to design principles and pedagogy, organizing its survey of Fuller’s work through parallel conceptual threads rather than in a linear chronology of his career.

Résumé:
En 1990, la ville de Vitrolles (Bouches-du-Rhône) décide de se doter d’un équipement public multifonctionnel accessible à tous et pour tous. C’est l’architecte Rudy Ricciotti qui dessine le Stadium de Vitrolles en apportant une réponse pertinente sur le plan économique, politique, programmatique, et culturel. Le bâtiment est inauguré le 24 novembre 1994. La structure en béton noir clairement apparente s’inscrit dans un archaïsme constructif. Le Stadium, chargé de tous les maux, subit en 1998 un contexte politique qui lui est défavorable et fatal. L’association de défense patrimoniale 'La Renaissance du Stadium' a obtenu pour le Stadium, le label 'Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable' en octobre 2018.

Résumé:
Adriano Olivetti, the son of the company’s founder, valued not only the firm’s products, he also made the same demands regarding quality in architecture. The grandson, Roberto Olivetti, commissioned Eiermann, a famous representative of German postwar Modernism, to design the German branch offices. For the architect the project formed the culmination of his career, while for the Karlsruhe student Klaus Kinold it marked the beginning of a career as a photographer of architecture. He maintained that he had learned more for his future profession from his teacher Egon Eiermann than from anyone else.
