Résumé:
This publication offers a view of Steven Holl's spectacular buildings, with a particular eye to their sculptural expressiveness, the materials used, compositional elements, and the way light is handled. Essays by Dietmar Steiner (director of the Architekturzentrum in Vienna), Yehuda Safran (professor at Columbia University, New York) and Wolf Prix (architect, Vienna) shed light on the process of moving from idea to phenomenon, from the first sketch - in this case from Steven Holl's water-colour drawings - to construction.

Résumé:
Henri Sauvage (1873-1932) s’affirme comme comme l’un des rares architectes à avoir parcouru l’arc créatif qui va de l’Art nouveau au Style international. Déterminé dans sa vocation d’architecte et de décorateur par la lecture de Viollet-le-Duc et par son amitié avec le sculpteur Alexandre Charpentier et l’architecte Frantz Jourdain, Sauvage réalise plusieurs œuvres dont la Villa Majorelle à Nancy, qui le consacre dès 1904 comme un des maîtres de l’Art nouveau. Associé de 1902 à 1916 à Charles Sarazin (1873-1950), il réalise des groupes d’habitations à bon marché ainsi que des immeubles de rapport et plusieurs établissements hôteliers. Les deux architectes ouvrent des succursales en France, en Espagne et au Mexique. Le célèbre immeuble revêtu de carrelages “métro” du 26 rue Vavin est réalisé selon un brevet déposé en 1912. Il sera suivi de la construction des nouveaux magasins de La Samaritaine et des grands magasins Decré à Nantes, un tour de force architectural en verre et métal érigé en trois mois.

Résumé:
Antoni Gaudí is celebrated as one of the most important architects of the early 20th century. His unbelievable Art Nouveau buildings were marked by their whimsical design and fantastic details. While much has been written on this extraordinary figure, "Living Gaudí" is one of the few books to consider his gardens, parks and residential projects as a body of work, and one of the few to particularly focus on his designs for interior furnishings, which were part and parcel of his overall vision for a building. This littleknown aspect of his work is surveyed in this book with stunning photography and exquisite detail. The volume also includes a selection of the architect's own writings, which give the reader a revealing look at his incomparable genius. Complete with archival photographs and more than 150 fullcolor contemporary photographs, Gaudí's amazing talent is revealed in this landmark work.

Résumé:
Saarinen's buildings are famous worldwide: the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA terminal in JFK Airport, Dulles Airport, outside Washington D.C., the CBS Building in New York, the General Motors Technical Center in Michigan, the US Embassy in London, and many other landmarks. Equally celebrated are his furniture designs, including the Tulip Table and Womb Chair. While Saarinen's exuberant, even expressionistic, forms were lightning rods for many critics, his unique personal style is now much admired, making him a key figure for many designers practicing today. Saarinen's was a career of innovation. His airport terminals combined the poetry of sculpture with daring structural feats and raganizational genius; his pioneering industrial complexes for GM, IBM, and Bell Labs brought rational modernism to corporate America; and his furniture and residential buildings conveyed an optimistic, humane vision for the future. This illustrated monograph spans Saarinen's entire career, including his drawings, models, most important built works, and furniture.

Résumé:
Rick Joy builds with remarkable sensitivity, precision, and grace. The allure of his architecture is often quietly and seductively hidden in the sensual qualities of one's experiences: the sounds, smells, tactile qualities, and moods of his work. The nine buildings shown in this, the first monograph on Joy's work, express his interest in making places that are transcendent moments of space, light, and matter. In each of the projects the physical landscape, its specific environment, and its rich history are revealed and celebrated. While many of the projects here use sustainable materials like rammed earth, Joy's primary interest is in the quality of the spaces he makes. He shows us how efficient and environmentally sensitive architecture can emerge as a by-product from a quest for the timeless qualities that are always associated with great architecture. With a forword by Steven Holl and an introduction by Juhani Pallasmaa.
