Résumé:
Premier ouvrage consacré au travail de l'architecte bisontin, présentant ses constructions singulières dans leur contexte. Une cabane de pêcheurs, l'aménagement d'une halle de marché rural dans le cadre de la procédure des "Nouveaux commanditaires", une école, le hangar d'une ferme comtoise, une maison individuelle, des édifices mettant en œuvre les énergies renouvelables, dévoilent le processus d'une architecture radicale et conceptuelle attentive au lieu, au matériau, à la demande, au paysage, dépassant l'opposition entre local et universel. / This pubication is dedicated to the work of Adelfo Scaranello, an architect from Besançon, France, whose singular constructions are presented in their context : a fishing cabin, a covered farmer’s market, both included among the new commissions of the Fondation de France. Also included are a school, a barn, a residence, and examples of buildings employing natural energy sources. Each project reveals Scaranello’s conceptual process which is intrinsically related to site, materials, prerequisites, and landscape and which surpasses any notion of local versus international architecture.

Résumé:
Arpentant les rues et les places son carnet à la main, parcourant la planète pour donner des conférences ou suivre ses chantiers, Le Corbusier a façonné son œuvre en réaction constante au monde environnant. À travers de nombreux documents intimes et rarement montrés dans leur continuité, Jean-Louis Cohen, spécialiste de ce personnage mi-secret, mi-tonitruant, voyage sur les traces du premier " expert volant " de l'architecture. Croquis de voyage, photographies de sa collection, lettres à ses amis, ouvrages personnels annotés et maquettes de projet nous livrent avec une intensité particulière un être d'émotion et de passion avec ses coups de génie, coups de tête, hésitations et contradictions. En écho à l'histoire et à la culture du XXe siècle, écrivains, artistes de tous les milieux et femmes de lettre sont aussi ici présents, témoignant pour la première fois de la sociabilité très intense de Le Corbusier.

Résumé:
Since starting their practice in 1986, Iranian-born, American-educated sisters Gisue and Mojgan Hariri have earned widespread praise for their ambitious body of work. Their up-to-the-minute recasting of classical modernist principles has made them a source of continuing inspiration to design students and professionals alike. Over the course of recent years, the Hariris' portfolio has expanded from small-scale commissions to widely celebrated projects, including the much lauded "Digital House" and the first house to be completed at The Houses at Sagaponac, the ambitious Hamptons development. Among the projects featured in Hariri & Hariri: Houses—illustrated in plans, drawings, and splendid full-color photography—are a new house for the AQUA development in Miami Beach; spectacular urban renovations in New York City; and magnificent new houses across the country, as well as international projects, all of which demonstrate the ability of the Hariris to combine modernist rigor with what New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger identified as an "understanding of the patterns of everyday life."
