In 1966, architect Robert Venturi published ''Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture'', a manifesto that became one of the twentieth century’s most important statements about architecture.

In 1966, architect Robert Venturi published ''Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture'', a manifesto that became one of the twentieth century’s most important statements about architecture. Drawing on both vernacular and high-style sources, Venturi introduced new lessons from the buildings of architects who were well known, like Michelangelo and Alvar Aalto, and those whose work had then been forgotten, like Frank Furness and Edwin Lutyens. Arguing against the diagrammatic forms that dominated the field at that time, Venturi made a case instead for “the difficult whole.”

When it opened in 1962, the TWA Flight Center at New York’s JFK airport was a sensation.

Created by Eero Saarinen with a distinctly birdlike design, it was instantly seen as a striking emblem of the romance of air travel. More than half a century later, it remains a beloved icon of modern architecture. Designing TWA is the first book to tell the whole story of Saarinen’s building, from its early planning through its closing in 2001 after the takeover of TWA by American Airlines. Documenting the terminal’s commission, planning, building, and use, architect Kornel Ringli reveals the constant tension between the operational needs of the airline and Saarinen’s visionary imaginings—revealing the TWA building as an incredible architectural achievement that nonetheless failed to meet the day-to-day demands of the business it housed. Lavishly illustrated with archival photographs,

Rossi's architectural vocabulary synthesized medieval and Renaissance precedents (most famously in his floating theatre created for the 1979 Venice Biennale) in a manner that led him to be tagged a postmodernist in the 80s, especially in the US where he taught for many years at Yale and Cornell, and erected buildings in Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas. As the work of Rossi and his generation receives renewed critical attention, this volume celebrates one of the postwar era's leading architectural imaginations.

Résumé:
The House of Switzerland is a mobile building that serves as the official visitors’ center for Switzerland at major international events. Following its debut at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, the building went on to serve events in Zurich, Milan, and Rio de Janeiro. This book takes a close look at the architectural and design challenges presented by a building that has to be mobile, accessible, and visually striking. Drawing on materials from the planning process conducted by Switzerland’s Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the architectural firm Spillmann Echsle Architects, which built the house together with Ortreport scenographers, the book presents a dictionary of all elements in the building set for the house, illustrated with images and plans rendered with rich technical detail. A discussion between the key figures involved in the project rounds out the book, exploring the process of creating such an iconic representation of a nation abroad.

Résumé:
Faced with questions about how to adapt and reuse a former industrial site in the center of town, an international insurance corporation, together with the Swiss city of Winterthur, held a competition among architecture and design firms to come up with an innovative, effective plan. The winning firm was the Vienna-based Architekt Krischanitz, and their submission, Superblock, is a striking idea given a brilliant execution: it combines a large workshop where diesel engines were assembled with newly constructed yet visually complementary buildings. This book details the project from concept to completion, using numerous photographs, plans, and visualizations to trace the history of the site, the genesis and development of the Superblock concept, and the revitalization of the neighborhood that it is expected to lead.

Résumé:
Le catalogue officiel de l'exposition présentée au Centre Pompidou du 29 avril au 3 août 2015. Commémorant le cinquantenaire de la disparition de Le Corbusier, l'exposition organisée au Centre Pompidou invite à une relecture de son œuvre à travers le prisme de la figure humaine, dans sa corporalité mais aussi dans ses dimensions perceptive et spirituelle. Conçu dès 1943, le Modulor influencera toute une génération d'architectes. Bien que cette réflexion sur une mesure essentielle et universelle - « l'homme de série », pensant et percevant - soit au cœur de l'œuvre multiforme de Le Corbusier, il n'existait à ce jour aucune publication permettant d'appréhender cette notion fondamentale dans le travail de l'architecte. Étoffé par les contributions de jeunes chercheurs, le catalogue présente le parcours corbuséen à l'aune de cette thématique, depuis les origines jurassiennes jusqu'aux derniers jours au bord de la Méditerranée. Il met en lumière l'omniprésence de l'humain dans sa production, à partir d'éléments de l'œuvre peint, de réalisations ou de projets architecturaux, de meubles et d'écrits, qui témoignent de la richesse et de la complexité de sa pensée.

Résumé:
In 1969, the French oil company Total began implementing a mass-production model for its gas stations—large ones for France's freeways, and the smaller roadside units. The company called in Jean Prouvé, who had already amply demonstrated his skills in the field of prefabrication. This volume documents this dimension of Prouvé's "demontable" architecture.
