Résumé:
The extravagant villas designed between the 1960s and 1980s by Italian architect Mario Galvagni (1928-2020) for prosperous Lombard families. Suspended shell structures, underground living rooms and luminous domes. On the Lombard plain between the Ticino valley and the industrial outskirts of Milan, ensconced amid fields of crops, lies Inveruno, home to the architecture of Mario Galvagni, designed between the 1960s and 1980s for local industrial families. These villas would host large dinner parties and masked balls, as captured in the photographs unearthed from Gianni Saracchi's archive. Each house is unique while still sharing something with the others: each is a temple where the industrious Lombard lives with his family and hosts fruitful business meetings.

Résumé:
Throughout his career, the Genovese architect Alberto Ponis has combined the practice of architecture with that of painting, a tool and a stimulus for his activity as a designer of buildings. He has repeatedly drawn each of the sites for his projects, attentive to every detail in his designs with profound precision. This includes the nature of the places and the landscapes where they are located, the characters and needs of those who will inhabit them, and the specific conditions of their construction, always carried out with local builders and using local materials. This monographic edition of the magazine surveys the scope of his breathtaking practice and its context in meticulous detail.

Résumé:
"No Trust, No City!" was the longtime credo on their website; "Some Ideas for Better Cities" was their first joint lecture series; and Acting in Public was their first book. For over than twenty years, the architecture collective raumlaborberlin has been searching for new spaces of encounter and for ways of achieving cooperative urban development. Together with experts from various disciplines, they experiment with new forms of urban practice, participation, and the joint production of space. "Polylemma" explores the work of the collective from diverse perspectives. Its nine members visit the sites of their work, come together with long-standing colleagues and critics, dissect the mechanisms behind their actions, and reflect on the tools and methods of their research-based practice.

Résumé:
Extending the figure-ground visual paradox to a fundamental architectonic problem – that of the reciprocity between a wall and a window – this book by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen reflects on the intersection between painting and architecture. If a window is inherently a subtraction of a wall’s surface but also an infill with a "view" beyond it, a painting is as much a flat, opaque surface as the illusion of space beyond. Containing over 1,000 works, including paintings, sketches, and line drawings, this alphabetical catalogue presents a broad examination of the Chilean duo’s practice to date. The book also includes an essay by the authors and an index of the artworks.

Résumé:
Known for his architecture, writing, and teaching, Peter Eisenman (b. 1932) has shaped the field of contemporary architecture through innovative design and thinking. His works include single-family residences such as his "House" series (1968–75) and cultural structures such as the Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio (1989), and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin (2005). Both his writings and his buildings have integrated architecture with philosophy in a manner that is playful and evocative. This volume brings together a distinguished group of architects and historians, teachers and students, and friends and colleagues to frame and explore Eisenman’s many extraordinary contributions to the architectural discourse and to consider his legacy.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage nous permet de pénétrer au sein de l’intimité des trois domiciles du plus célèbre architecte américain du 20e siècle. Mais pourquoi encore étudier l’œuvre de Wright? Bien que pertinente, cette interrogation en éclipse de bien plus fondamentales : toutes les problématiques relatives à l’œuvre de Wright ont-elles réellement été traitées? Plutôt que d’apporter des réponses à travers un discours généralisant, cette étude formule de nouvelles propositions par le biais d’un corpus restreint articulé autour d’un seul programme architectural, multifonctionnel : celui des maisons-ateliers. Il n’en existe que trois exemples au sein de l’œuvre de Wright : sa maison-atelier d’Oak Park, Taliesin et Taliesin West. S’agissant des trois seules de ses réalisations pour lesquelles il est lui-même le destinataire, il a pu y développer des dispositifs plus radicaux et novateurs que dans le reste de sa production. Ainsi, cet ouvrage identifie et analyse les caractéristiques fondamentales et particulières des spatialités développées par l’architecte américain en mettant en lumière leurs répercussions sensibles sur leurs usagers. La notion d’espace wrightien forme le fil rouge de cette recherche.

Résumé:
"Material gesture" presents a comprehensive reflection on six years of student work produced at Studio Anne Holtrop at the ETH Zurich. The Studio’s approach is rooted in site explorations, material testing, dialogues with experts, gestures of making, climatic and geological studies, and cultural practices. These elements inform the process of shaping matter and space through architecture, creating a unique methodology of engagement and creation. The book delves further into the Studio's methodology, featuring conversations with Bijoy Jain, Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, Mario Monotti, Petra Blaisse, and Smiljan Radic. It also includes visual contributions by Aglaia Konrad and Armin Linke, alongside essays by Carlos Irijalba, Flavio Anselmetti, and Philip Ursprung.

Résumé:
This volume edited on the occasion of the exhibition at MAXXI - Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo in Rome from 25 October 2024 to 16 March 2025, curated by the world-renowned studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The exhibition and thus the catalogue intends to address the theme of movement not so much as a possibility for a building to move from one place to another as an internal property of architecture: buildings that change configuration, that have mobile elements, that swell or turn to accommodate more or fewer visitors. The ability to move or change like a transformer is also a recurring feature of the work of Diller and Scofidio (later DS+R), who often also used movement as a platform to connect art and architecture, combining the concepts of building and installation in an experimental (and very productive) way.
