Siza est à part. Indépendant, discret, il compte dans le monde de l'architecture parmi les plus grands et s'y est fait un nom à force de conviction profonde. Il parle à voix basse et porte sur les choses un regard pénétrant. De l'objet à la ville, son œuvre, saluée partout et largement commentée, atteint une sorte de grâce qui échappe aux théories.

Résumé:
Siza est à part. Indépendant, discret, il compte dans le monde de l'architecture parmi les plus grands et s'y est fait un nom à force de conviction profonde. Il parle à voix basse et porte sur les choses un regard pénétrant. De l'objet à la ville, son œuvre, saluée partout et largement commentée, atteint une sorte de grâce qui échappe aux théories. Et, à défaut d'explications savantes, c'est par petites touches qu'on peut esquisser les contours du personnage, témoin de son époque et lucide devant les déséquilibres du monde. On dit qu'il dessine comme un ange, qu'il n'écrit pas sinon quelques textes épars, qu'il allume des cigarettes et oublie de les fumer, inséparable de ses cahiers noirs. Et de sa pratique de l'architecture, on n'a pas trouvé mieux que de dire qu'elle est poétique, et de lui qu'il est un poète.Que pouvaient alors soixante-cinq textes de lui à part ça? Rien. Sinon tenir dans une main tant de choses à la fois, une vie d'homme, d'artiste, architecte de surcroît - une place dans le monde à quoi rien ne correspond.

Résumé:
When Minnette De Silva founded the Studio of Modern Architecture in Kandy, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), in 1947, she was one of the first women in the world to establish a professional architectural practice as sole principal. Today, she is known for her designs and constructions of private residences and public institutions, settlement planning, experiments in building and handicraft, research, curation, and writing. Her practice treated architecture as a lived experience and a contemporary expression of heterogeneous pasts. ''Minnette De Silva: Intersections'' offers a richly illustrated critical introduction to De Silva’s practice, exploring a range of projects through the intersecting intellectual concerns that shaped her work. Archival materials, drawings, photographs, and extracts from De Silva’s memoir, ''The Life and Work of an Asian Woman Architect'', describe her diverse work in a career situated in Sri Lanka and informed by substantial engagements with India, England, Greece, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Drawing on modernist architectural techniques and material heritage practices, De Silva forged a distinctive, critically engaged aesthetic program and set of values. This book by architectural historian Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi, researched with Methmini Kariyakarawana and others, offers a primer to the thought and production of one of the twentieth century’s most significant architects and cultural figures.

Résumé:
Wallness, par des considérations techniques et culturelles, bouleverse l'acte de bâtir et ouvre une conversation. L'isolant s'ajoute au répertoire des éléments architecturaux, la thermique dévoile des champs constructifs insoupçonnés, la recherche du confort des espaces intérieurs interroge la nature de l'enveloppe des bâtiments. Wallness augmente le rôle du mur, convoque l'ensemble de ses composants, précise une nouvelle rationalité. Le sujet de la transparence ne se limite plus au visible mais s'étend à tous les phénomènes chimiques et physiques invisibles traversant la paroi. Wallness considère le plein à la fois comme une nécessité et comme un potentiel formel inédit. Les matériaux, comme toujours, sont au cœur de la révolution.

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.

"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.
