Résumé:
Modern Man is a biography of Le Corbusier—a man who invented new ways of building and thinking. Modern Man is a psychological portrait of a true genius and constant self-inventor, as well as a sweeping tale filled with exotic locales, sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine Baker), and high-stakes projects. In Flint’s telling, Corbusier isn’t just the grandfather(...)

Résumé:
Modern Man is a biography of Le Corbusier—a man who invented new ways of building and thinking. Modern Man is a psychological portrait of a true genius and constant self-inventor, as well as a sweeping tale filled with exotic locales, sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine Baker), and high-stakes projects. In Flint’s telling, Corbusier isn’t just the grandfather of modern architecture but a man who sought to remake the world according to his vision, dispelling the Victorian style and replacing it with something never seen before. His legacy remains controversial today, as the world grapples with how to house its skyrocketing urban population and the cult of the “starchitect” continues to grow.

Résumé:
Deep Veils is an architecture monograph on veils, thickness, and envelopes in architecture as a counter narrative to transparency, openness, and clarity that underpin orthodox Modern architecture. The book features ten small projects completed in South East Asia between 2007-2012 that explore various architectural ideas under the rubric of “deep veils”. Each project responds to questions of envelope, surface, skin, form, atmosphere, perception and topicality. The projects represented within the book define in various ways how deep veils in architecture are manifest utilizing opaque and solid materials to produce forms of translucency, depth, and hazy atmospheres. Traced through the artistic legacies of Gertrud Arndt to Optical Art, the architectural theories of Gottfried Semper, Adolf Loos, and the work of Le Corbusier, Kahn, and Durell Stone, a new direction for architecture, perception, and thickness is put forth.

In their first decade, they have built—and won awards for—major projects in Spain, Poland, Switzerland, and other European countries. This volume is the first comprehensive monograph on the firm. While it features the standard elements of such a work—including images, drawings, plans, and contextual references for all the firm’s major works—it also aims to offer more, presenting a broader, more intellectual take on Barozzi Veiga’s output and the way that it reflects the firm’s desire to find and draw on the primal condition of each location where they build.

Résumé:
For a small country that generally keeps a low profile on the stage of world events, Denmark has played a disproportionately prominent role in the history of 20th Century architecture and design. Today in the early 21st Century, known for its anything-goes attitude towards design, Denmark also has its share of provocative architects surfing waves of fashionable trends, yet a few firms maintain a more grounded and centered approach to their work. Prominent among this group is KPF Architects (Kjelgaard, Pedersen & Fællestegnestuen), whose philosophy and work is a prime example of design rooted in a specific regional narrative while globally pursuing new ideas, new concepts and new materials that elevate their projects to the highest levels of architectural discourse, without sacrificing either usefulness or pleasure for the client. Even their most ordinary functional projects like banks, office buildings, and medical facilities embody a sensitivity that is uplifting. Kenneth Frampton states: One cannot help but be reminded of the tradition of Arne Jacobsen when looking at KPF Arkitekters work and thus of the commonsense functional, but ludic, character of the still vital Danish modern movement as it has consistently evolved over the past sixty years

Résumé:
La chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut est une chapelle catholique construite de 1950 à 1955 sur la colline de Bourlémont, à Ronchamp, en Haute-Saône. Création de l'architecte franco-suisse Le Corbusier, elle est érigée à l'emplacement d'un ancien sanctuaire romain et d’une église de pèlerinage sévèrement endommagée par les bombardements lors de libération en septembre 1944.Lors de sa dernière visite à Ronchamp, en 1959, Le Corbusier a confié : « Merci à vous tous les usagers, je suis récompensé ». Depuis, le site a évolué : Jean Prouvé a réalisé un campanile dans les années 1970 et récemment, en 2011, Renzo Piano a inauguré la Poterie. Ainsi est né l’ensemble architectural harmonieux composé du monastère Sainte-Claire, de la Porterie, du campanile et de la chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut. Cette dernière, bâtiment iconique, est candidate à l’inscription au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 2016. Une magnifique campagne photographique permet de percevoir à la fois la majesté et la signification symbolique du monument du Corbusier, ainsi que les détails architecturaux et décoratifs, résultats d’un extraordinaire dialogue créatif. 1er grand livre (il n’existe que des guides touristiques actuellement sur le sujet) et campagne photographique sur le monument.
