Résumé:
Bruno Reichlin est l’un des plus grands théoriciens de l’architecture du XXe siècle. Dans son étude des œuvres clés de Le Corbusier, il envisage à la fois la nature même du bâtiment et son fondement théorique. Les textes de Reichlin et sa pratique architecturale sont marqués par son approche des signes et symboles se manifestant dans les œuvres construites ainsi qu’un vaste cadre référentiel allant de la littérature et du cinéma aux beaux-arts. Ce livre rassemble 13 essais sur l’œuvre de Le Corbusier, rédigés par Reichlin au cours d’une quarantaine d’années. À partir de constructions telles que la Villa La Roche, le Carpenter Center, la Petite Maison et les villas Savoye et Mandrot, sans oublier le projet pour l’hôpital à Venise, le livre explore les multiples aspects de la créativité de Le Corbusier dans leurs principes et leur mise en œuvre architecturale. Un très large fond de documents historiques et des graphiques analytiques spécialement conçus pour ces essais accompagnent les textes.

L'autoroute comme un sujet obsessionnel, capable d'éclairer l'inconscient d'une pratique architecturale. Telle pourrait être la description succincte de cet ouvrage qui rassemble des textes inédits ou déjà publiés par Studio Muoto sur le thème de l'autoroute. Ce recueil éclectique de textes – extraits d'articles ou de conférences, notes, descriptions de projet – est complété par un véritable scrapbook photographique réalisé par les architectes de l'agence qui, en 2023, occupe le pavillon français à la Biennale d'architecture de Venise. Ces images prises au cours de leurs déplacements et de leurs nombreux projets illustrent leurs obsessions autant que les errements de leurs réflexions. Holy Highway reflète ainsi le principe du voyage exploratoire comme fondement d'une sensibilité architecturale.

Résumé:
In this book, renowned architectural historian Dietrich Neumann presents a new, critical look at Mies and complicates the established narrative about him. Diverging from the reverential posture of many existing accounts, Neumann insists on the importance of the contemporary contex t—social, political, and architectural— for understanding the architect’s life and work. The book draws on many overlooked archival and primary sources to demonstrate how and why Mies’s designs were shaped and received, foregrounding contemporary critics’ responses and the work of Mies’s collaborators and peers. It presents several previously unknown buildings, projects, and furniture designs and challenges long-established interpretations of key works. Comprehensively illustrated and covering the entirety of Mies’s career, this ambitious book is the most substantial account to date of the life and work of one of the most important architects of the twentieth century.

Résumé:
Architect Paul Rudolph (1918–1997) was known for his iconic modern houses and exemplary Brutalist buildings in exposed concrete. Rudolph’s popularity peaked during the 1950s and 1960s, when he served as the chair of Yale University’s Department of Architecture, but his work fell from favor with the advent of postmodernism in the 1970s. This compact volume provides an introduction to and long-overdue reassessment of the architect’s trailblazing career, from his modernist Florida houses to his public and institutional buildings, unrealized megastructures, experimental interiors, and later mixed use developments in Asia. Abraham Thomas examines how Rudolph explored concepts such as functionalism, urbanism, and modular construction across decades and continents. Richly illustrated with photographs of the structures and Rudolph’s own drawings as well as models, furniture, and period press clippings, this book sheds light on the architect’s process and takes up themes as important in his time as in our own, such as civic design, housing development, and experimental materials and methods.

Résumé:
This little book paints a portrait of BAST, an acronym for "Bureau d'Architecture Sans Titre" (Untitled Architecture Office), through 20 identical questions asked to 20 people selected from among the clients, service providers and collaborators of the Toulouse-based agency. Through the answers, sometimes terse, sometimes prolix, grouped together and organised according to a simple principle (one page, one answer), a profile of the agency emerges: positioning, method, qualities, faults... which allows us to better understand its approach, but also the environment and the crisis era in which it is embedded.

Résumé:
Amancio Williams (1913-1989) è uno degli esponenti più importanti e originali della cultura argentina e del movimento moderno; tuttavia la sua architettura rimane in parte ancora inesplorata. La produzione critica in Italia non sempre ha garantito una sufficiente diffusione della sua rara quanto inusuale dimensione progettuale, fondata su antitesi capaci di dar vita a soluzioni sorprendenti e uniche. Questo volume è un‘occasione per riscoprire le strategie tecniche e compositive di Williams, in grado di rispondere ai temi e alle esigenze della contemporaneità. Il libro conta su un repertorio di immagini inedite, su un ricco contributo teorico e su una esegesi critica del suo modus operandi, accompagnata da schemi e analisi re-interpretative.
