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.

Résumé:
Founded by Fredric Benesch and Katarina Lundeberg in 2009, Stockholm-based firm In Praise of Shadows Architecture engages in a wide range of projects of varied scales and typologies. This first monograph on their work features some forty buildings and projects from the years 2009 to 2024. The selection includes small boathouses and garden pavilions, private homes, and housing developments, as well as retail spaces, schools, and library buildings. The ideas and designs of In Praise of Shadows Architecture are remarkable, revealed in buildings that share an elegant signature that manifests itself in the choice and shaping of materials and a focus on the spatial experience. Many of them are timber constructions, as sustainability is a core part of their philosophy, as well as a special interest in Swedish modernist heritage and the famous architectural culture of the Swiss canton of Grisons.

Résumé:
These photos are accompanied by drawings and three parallel conversations between Luis Callejas and Matteo Ghidoni, Elisa Cattaneo, and Jørgen Tandberg. The photographs were taken during three trips between Norway and Colombia. Most photos were done using the same 35 mm lens, avoiding wide angles encompassing each small space’s totality. The conversations were triggered later by the photographs as opposed to direct experience; these images and conversations address the parallels between the construction of a house, a clearing, and the construction of an image. The houses were designed by LCLA office in found, edited, and constructed forest clearings.

Résumé:
The iconic Edith Farnsworth House is a singular glass home designed by Mies van der Rohe. But the oft-told history of the house overwrites Farnsworth’s role as Mies’s collaborator and antagonist while falsely portraying her as the architect’s angry ex-lover. Nora Wendl’s audacious work of creative nonfiction explodes the sex-and-real-estate myth surrounding the Edith Farnsworth House and its two central figures. An eminent physician and woman of letters, Farnsworth left a rich trove of correspondence, memoirs, and photographs that Wendl uses to reconstruct her voice. Farnsworth’s memories and experiences alternate with Wendl’s thoughts on topics like misogyny and professional ambition to fashion a lyrical examination of love, loneliness, beauty, and the search for the divine.

Résumé:
Bâtiment manifeste, monument historique, icône noire et blanche se détachant sur le ciel de Paris, architecture métallique remarquable, prouesse technologique, résidence universitaire et lieu de culture, la Fondation Avicenne (anciennement Maison de l’Iran) est tout cela. Inscrite dans l’histoire, parfois tumultueuse, de deux pays, et située sur un site riche en architecture, cette œuvre majeure de Claude Parent devait être entièrement réhabilitée afin de revivre aprés son quasi-abandon. De nombreux acteurs, sous la maîtrise d’œuvre de l’agence Béguin & Macchini, récompensée par le trophée Eiffel d’architecture en acier, ont gagné le pari de lui donner une nouvelle pérennité. Ce livre raconte l’aventure de cette renaissance et des défis et surprises d’une réhabilitation fidèle, aussi complexe que réussie.
