Résumé:
For many architects he is a landmark - Jean Prouvé, creator of the metal curtain wall, pioneer in its application and early initiator of industrialised building techniques. His unfailing ability to combine functional engineering achievements with artistic sensitivity commands recognition. The period covered in this latest volume is significant in many respects. The post-war years placed enormous demands on housing and school construction. In his Maxéville factory Prouvé developed pre-fabricated housing, facade panelling, light filtering and other systems on a large scale. He was inspired by the works of the automobile and aeronautics industry, developing new applications for aluminium, which he presented in the 1954 Aluminium Centenary Pavilion. Moreover, Prouvé's furnitures of this period have become valuable collectors' items, some of which are now being reissued under licence.

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.
