Résumé:
"Romantic modernist: the life and Wwrk of Norman Jaffe, architect" is the first book to explore Norman Jaffe's body of work and the inner struggle that shaped his life. After mysteriously disappearing early one day in the late summer of 1993 while on a morning swim, the famously prolific architect left behind many unanswered questions - not only about the cause of his death but also about the nature of his architectural legacy. Through interviews with Jaffe's closest friends and associates, as well as exhaustive archival research, critic Alastair Gordon traces Jaffe's career trajectory from his early years on the West Coast through his increasingly celebrated life in New York and his premature, unexplained death.

Résumé:
Ce livre réunit pour la première fois huit entretiens majeurs donnés par Roland Simounet de 1978 à 1995. Ces entretiens ont un statut bien particulier parmi les nombreux écrits de l’architecte : l’écriture y est d’une grande richesse et la personnalité de Simounet s’y révèle davantage grâce à l’exercice du dialogue. L’intérêt de ce recueil est de faire apparaître une réelle constance dans la pensée de l’architecte, mais aussi, en parallèle, l’évolution des préoccupations d’une époque – ce que met en évidence la présentation chronologique des textes : le processus de conception, la question de la ville, celle du paysage. Chaque entretien, considéré isolément, comme l’ensemble des textes mis bout à bout construisent une autre rationalité, celle d’une architecture du dialogue.

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.
