Résumé:
The "evolving structures" exhibition brings together four revitalizations of buildings from different historical periods and of various typologies that have fallen out of use. In dealing with the restrictions imposed by the existing buildings - as well as with the requirements of monument preservation - the aim is to develop the existing substance from within. In this way, the buildings can regain their presence, which has faded over time, and radiate new vitality into their surroundings. From each of the four projects in the exhibition, ksg has formulated a thesis on sustainable transformation that describes the specific measure to be taken on the existing structure - the architectural key that enables a new activation of the existing building. All of the projects presented are currently undergoing conversion. This makes it possible to vividly convey the processes and the attitude of kister scheithauer gross.

Résumé:
Italian architect and designer Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) left a huge mark not only on architecture but also on a wide range of design fields. His success in his field developed from those moments when he devoted himself to the study of the various techniques of construction. Whether in glassware or museum design, in the use of materials or those involved in essential building skills, what seems to have first seized his attention was the creative limitations implicit in them. This issue is a reprint of an extra edition of the magazine on Scarpa that first appeared in October 1985. Revived 40 years after its initial publication, it once again celebrates the complete picture of Scarpa’s designs.

Résumé:
Since the 1980s, critical regionalism has been globally celebrated for imbuing modern architecture with local sensibilities. After rising to international stardom, however, several critical regionalists soon began to erect distinctive albeit “placeless” buildings around the world. Aris Konstantinidis (1913–1993), a Greek architect less well known outside of his home country, instead propagated his vision of regional modernism to global audiences on his own terms through his publishing and teaching beyond national borders. This operative history of his life and work outside Greece unveils the potential for alternative practices of critical regionalism abroad.

Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge.

Résumé:
Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge. But what if we could do architecture differently? What does non-extractivist architecture look like? In this book, Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny introduce the concept of abundance to call for a paradigm shift in architecture. Using as its example the exceptional work of architect Anupama Kundoo, this book shows that non-extractivist and non-exploitative architecture is undeniably possible. Kundoo, born in Pune, India, weaves together innovative technological experimentation and traditional crafts. With careful consideration of local resources, building skills, climate, and environment, she makes buildings that embody spatial beauty and graceful materiality.

Résumé:
Comparing the work of ''Archigram'' and ''High-Tech'' architects thematically, this book explores the historical and cultural context of London to reveal their influences and interconnections and why two such radical groups emerged from a seemingly conservative city. This book examines the relationships between the work of ''Archigram'' and that of the British ''High-Tech'' architects, groups that were based in London and developing in the 1960s and 70s. While one group consisted of academics and artists known for their humour and eccentricity and the other were a group of deadly serious architects emerging to international proliference, this book argues that they shared uncannily similar impulses. There is the self-evident commonality of language: overblown machines, kits-of-parts of pieces and components, and a disintegration of building as object in favour of the constituent elements. Underlying both movements is a mutual, undying optimism in technological process and technological expression. Set within the rich history and culture of London, the book makes its comparisons by exploring central shared ideas: utopia, engineering, theatricality, infrastructure and narrative, and the iconography of war machinery.

Résumé:
''Ordinary Beauty'' — by combining two seemingly antithetical values—aims to foster a generation of architects who, on a daily basis, dismantle the wall separating the ordinary from beauty, construction from architecture. A generation that begins with people and life itself, reclaiming the ordinary and elevating it to a common practice of architectural quality—first imagining a new way of living, then designing the very spaces that will house that new life. A generation that recognizes the responsibility of re- storing beauty to ordinary themes, because every day architec- ture can reveal the invisible power of beauty.

Résumé:
Architecte, restaurateur des grands monuments historiques de la France médiévale, dont la Sainte-Chapelle, les cathédrales Notre-Dame de Paris, d’Amiens et de Reims, la Cité de Carcassonne, et le château de Pierrefonds, et théoricien de l’architecture, Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc demeure la figure centrale de l’architecture au xixe siècle — une influence qui dépasse largement le champ du patrimoine. À travers une analyse érudite et nuancée, cet ouvrage explore la pensée de l’architecte sous l’angle de l’imaginaire historique, en mettant en lumière les tensions entre sa volonté de restitution du passé et son engagement dans une modernité en devenir. En s’appuyant sur un vaste corpus de sources, l’auteur interroge les fondements psychologiques, scientifiques et politiques d’une œuvre profondément marquée par le rationalisme, le romantisme et les idéaux progressistes du xixe siècle. Ce livre propose ainsi une relecture en profondeur de Viollet-le-Duc, révélant la force de son identification au Moyen Âge et la façon originale de tourner sa pensée architecturale vers l’avenir. Il met également en évidence la nature charnière, complexe et tourmentée de la période durant laquelle l’architecte sera actif et qui s’étend des lendemains de la Révolution à l’aube de la société industrielle.
