C'est un portrait du plus grand architecte du XXe siècle, le prophète des temps machinistes. C'est un voyage surtout, à certains égards un voyage sentimental, l'évocation du paysage intellectuel d'un homme d'un tout autre temps. Un voyage mélancolique.

Résumé:
C'est un portrait du plus grand architecte du XXe siècle, le prophète des temps machinistes. C'est un voyage surtout, à certains égards un voyage sentimental, l'évocation du paysage intellectuel d'un homme d'un tout autre temps. Un voyage mélancolique. Un voyage en deux moments historiques que sépare la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'exploration commence par la face nord de ce paysage, escarpée, un ubac plutôt froid, parfois glaçant, obstiné, dur à gravir, où s'entendent les oiseaux noirs : ramage et plumage du jeune Corbu, le corbeau jurassien.

Résumé:
This is an eye-opening tour through the exuberant works of two pioneering postwar architects. From 1946 to 1973, Whitney Rowland Smith and his partner, Wayne Williams, designed more than 800 projects, from residential, commercial, and public buildings to housing tracts, multi-use complexes, and parks and master plans for cities. Working in the wake of the first generation of avant-garde architects in Southern California and riding the postwar building boom, their firm, Smith and Williams, developed a pragmatic modernism that, through remarkable planning and design, integrated landscapes with buildings and decisively shaped the modern vocabulary of architecture in Los Angeles.

Résumé:
In 1932 nineteen-year-old John H. Howe arrived at Taliesin as a charter member of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship. There he would remain for the next thirty-two years, earning a reputation as “the pencil in Wright’s hand” before establishing his own architectural practice in Minnesota. This is the first book to tell Howe’s story and also the first full account of his place in the history of modern architecture—as chief draftsman and valued interpreter of Wright’s designs and as a prolific architect in his own right. Illustrated throughout with Howe’s drawings, this biography is a testament to the underappreciated architect’s extraordinary design and rendering skills.

Résumé:
Attempting to form an overview of the experimentation that has gone into his efforts over the past two decades, Sou Fujimoto compiles a multifarious and richly illustrated collection of works – concepts, new ideas, and unrealised projects – that is remarkable both for its sprawling diversity and for its consistency in the pursuit of an ideal. As Fujimoto writes in his introduction, “Beneath even the boldest, most daring proposals lie many years of patient trial and error.” Each project description contains index numbers of other projects that bear a resemblance to it, enabling readers to trace an interconnected web of interrelated concepts through his entire body of work.

Résumé:
One of the 20th century’s most significant architects, Kenzo Tange combined traditional Japanese styles with modernism, and took on major post-war urban redevelopment projects in Tokyo and abroad. In 1960, Tange – together with photographer Yasuhiro Ishimoto, architect Walter Gropius, and graphic designer Herbert Bayer – published a photobook titled ‘Katsura’, in which he questioned the conventional historical perspectives on Japanese architecture. Many previously unpublished photographs taken by Tange during the 1950s now appear in this remarkably arranged volume, giving insight to his later works. With an introduction by Saikaku Toyokawa and texts by Kenzo Tange.

Résumé:
Architect, urbanist, polemicist, passionate man of culture, Giancarlo De Carlo was one of the most important figures in 20th century Italian architecture. Ten years after his death, this book, which accompanies an exhibition at the Triennale di Milano, explores a lesser-known aspect of his production: freehand sketches. These small drawings, made mostly in the latter part of his life, form the somewhat private heart of his collection. Sometimes carried out according to a descriptive and functional vein towards in depth design analysis, sometimes purely creative, these sketches are suggestions, ideas or simply the entertaining result of completely personal research.
