Résumé:
This book illuminates a side of Soane’s personality unfamiliar to most students of his life and work by examining key strands in his collection and what they reveal about Soane and the psychology of collecting. Topics include the display of antiquities; his fascination with ruins, both literal and figurative; his singular response to Gothic architecture; and his investment in modern British painting and sculpture. These aspects are bookended by an introductory biographical chapter that highlights the ways in which his family and career informed his collecting habits as well as an epilogue that analyses the challenges of turning a private house and collection into a public museum.

Across a vast span of human history, in our expanding and evolving capacities for both construction and reverence, there has been an interplay between biomorphic and geometric form related to situating ourselves on a cosmic spectrum.

Résumé:
Across a vast span of human history, in our expanding and evolving capacities for both construction and reverence, there has been an interplay between biomorphic and geometric form related to situating ourselves on a cosmic spectrum. Sotirios Kotoulas is an architect immersed in the possibility of these forms, and the materials that render them. In his practice, symbolic shapes, materials, and colors can channel energy, and electromagnetic forces can be tuned and transmitted. In turn, these dynamisms can be mapped, be traced, and become form generators on their own. Sotirios approaches these concerns from multiple angles simultaneously, from conceptual exploration to the assembly of viable structures. As an Artist-in-residence at Dartmouth, he's delved deeper into two projects on this spectrum.

Résumé:
Que peut l'architecture à l'ère de l'Anthropocène? A-t-elle l'énergie de se saisir de l'occasion pour faire autrement et, ce faisant, de construire d'autres histoires? L'acte de transformation négocie avec l'idée de pertes. Le face-à-face de l'architecte avec celles-ci est continu et se joue en toutes phases, de la conception jusqu'à la réalisation, en passant par la mise en usages. Ce qui est livré se patine, puis s'érode, dès le ruban rouge coupé; ces pertes sont irrémédiables. Le projet déplace les réalités, les fait changer de formes, amenant à concéder un certain nombre de deuils. Certains sont d'ordre individuel, d'autres sont collectifs. Cette condition de l'architecte générateur de pertes est intemporelle. Cependant, elle se conscientise de manière plus aiguë à l'ère de l'Anthropocène où l'idée de table rase est battue en brèche.

Résumé:
Paul Andreu (1938-2018) est une figure majeure de la scène architecturale internationale de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Il a notamment marqué l'architecture des aérogares au cours de sa longue carrière au sein d'Aéroports de Paris, avec l'emblématique aéroport de Roissy 1, puis Roissy 2, mais aussi avec sa production en Asie, au Japon et en Chine, où il fut l'un des premiers Français à s'imposer, que ce soit avec l'aéroport de Kansai, en 1988, ou encore l'opéra de Pékin, inauguré en 2007. Fondée sur une exigence constante de fonctionnalité et de rationalité technique, l'oeuvre de cet architecte et ingénieur est ancrée sur la notion de seuil, de passage et de transformation, qui met en jeu des principes fondamentaux : la terre et le ciel, l'Orient et l'Occident, la pensée et la matière. A travers ses recherches sur l'espace et le temps, la croissance organique, les ombres et les lumières, l'immobilité et le mouvement, Paul Andreu semble poursuivre une recherche essentielle sur la question de l'envol, du corps et de l'esprit, qu'il soit physique, symbolique ou poétique.

Résumé:
The second installment in the Dongola Architecture Series, dedicated to the great voices of contemporary architecture in the Arab culture, delves into the life and work of the distinguished Syrian architect and architecture historian Nasser Rabbat. This publication underscores the profound connection between Rabbat's upbringing in Syria during a period of significant political transformation and his development as a critical thinker and storyteller. His journey from a reluctant choice to study architecture to becoming a prominent figure as the Director of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT illustrates his unceasing commitment to expanding the horizons of historiography, particularly within the realm of non-Western voices. "Nasser Rabbat : Critical encounters" seeks to deepen our understanding of the urgency of history to enable the possibilities of questioning and reimagining dominant powers. Professor Rabbat's work presents a compelling account within the broader context of Arab thinkers actively reshaping their region's narrative and pushing for a more inclusive and diverse historical perspective.

Résumé:
A trailblazing original, Predock was his own tour de force. In his work, steel, glass, and concrete were combined with natural materials to celebrate modern life. Initially considered a regionalist architect—one who had captured the power of the desert—he went on to re-establish the importance of place in architecture in the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright, Luis Barragan, and Louis Kahn. He made experience—what Kahn would have called spiritual experience—once again important in architecture. Featuring the wide range of Predock’s designed and built structures, including houses, schools, hotels, parks, theaters, nature centers, and more, this is an all-encompassing career/life “memoirograph.” It charts the architect’s journey from his beginnings, to his early days as a professional starting his own studio with the groundbreaking La Luz Community project, up to the present day, including the landmark Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The chronological presentation includes Predock’s travel, travel sketches, and kinesthetic pursuits, encapsulating a life in architecture.

Résumé:
Since founding his practice BCHO Architects Associates in Seoul in 1994, Byoung Cho has built a reputation as the key architect driving the expansion of one of the world’s most densely populated cities. Influenced by Korea’s rich aesthetic tradition, Cho utilizes understated forms to create serene buildings that yield powerful and subtle experiences for their inhabitants. His work focuses on seemingly simple structures and has a strong regard for nature and sustainability. This companion to ''Kengo Kuma: My Life as an Architect in Tokyo'' presents twenty-nine portraits of the buildings and districts of Seoul that have most influenced Cho, from a 12th-century shrine to a 14-metre-square concrete box, and includes a number of his own designs. Lively texts are interspersed with the architect’s own drawings and elegant photographs printed with a coloured tint.
