Résumé:
Chandigarh, destinée lors de l'indépendence de l'Inde à devenir la capitale du Punjab, permet à Le Corbusier de matérialiser ses théories : créer une ville où l'on peut harmonieusement vivre, travailler, développer son corps et son esprit. Actes d'un colloque entièrement consacré à la ville indienne, cette ouvrage invite à une large réflexion sur la question encore non résolue de l'achèvement de la place administrative du Capitole. Maquettes, dessins, plans, mais aussi peintures, sculptures et tapisseries rendent compte de cette épopée.

Résumé:
Succédant à une première monographie publiée en 1988, cet ouvrage fait le point sur l'oeuvre d'Adrien Fainsilber entre 1986 et 2002. Au cours de cette période, l'agence amorce une nouvelle étape avec la création d'AFA, Adrien Fainsilber et associés. Elle s'ouvre sur les images de la Géode et s'achève par la bibliothèque municipale à vocation régionale de Marseille terminée au printemps 2003. Au total, seize réalisations représentatives des récents travaux de l'architecte sont présentées ici. Leur variété - musées, hôpitaux, bâtiments scolaires et universitaires, logements, bureaux ou schémas d'urbanisme - permet de dégager les principes déterminants de l'oeuvre. Une introduction critique, une bibliographie et une chronologie plus exhaustive complètent l'ouvrage.

Beat Zoderer also participated in the project. When architects incorporate art into their projects, when artists involve themselves in the constraints of the construction industry, the results can be immensely fruitful as this striking new building in the Basel cityscape goes to prove.

Résumé:
In Arlesheim near Basel, Switzerland, the architects Klaus Schuldt and Andreas Scheiwiller have constructed five two-storey villas on a communal plot of land - it is no coincidence that their minimalist appearances are reminiscent of the style developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s.

Résumé:
In Arlesheim near Basel, Switzerland, the architects Klaus Schuldt and Andreas Scheiwiller have constructed five two-storey villas on a communal plot of land - it is no coincidence that their minimalist appearances are reminiscent of the style developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s. Yet it is not just the variation of architectonic elements but also the arrangement of these houses on this rural site which make "Ensemble Habitat" so interesting. Striking a careful balance between the individual and the general, between diversity and simplicity, this small group of houses can be justifiably considered exemplary.

Résumé:
Daniel Marques was born in 1950 in Aarau, Switzerland. He studied under Aldo Rossi and Dolf Schnebli at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and went on to found his own office in Lucerne in 1977. Besides working as an architect he has taught at various schools of architecture and in 2000 he became professor at the Technical University in Graz. This publication accompanies an exhibition on Daniel Marques' work at the Architecture Gallery Lucerne. Along with photographs by Hannes Henz, Zurich, it documents and provides in-depth analyses of five residential buildings, all of which have been realised in the last few years. Martin Steinmann commented "The reduction that determines the architecture of Daniele Marques - at least in these houses - turns out to be a method of providing the things -with intensity: by postponing the moment in which they transform into specific meanings."

Résumé:
Pritzker prize winners Herzog & de Meuron and Swiss artist Rémy Zaugg join forces to create a striking yet functional building. From 1996-2000, architects Herzog & de Meuron built a new research centre together with a library, auditorium and cafeteria for the pharmaceutical company Roche in Basel. Situated on the outskirts of the town on the edge of the industrial area, the building was to include a closed section for laboratories yet should also be publicly accessible: the ideal starting point for an interdisciplinary solution. Artist Rémy Zaugg worked together with the architects developing the colours used. He created a dramatic blue wall which separates public and closed areas. This publication documents the entire project from its genesis to the completed construction using texts, sketches, plans, and photographs. More than a mere monograph, this book provides a glimpse into the creative collaboration occuring between architects and artists.

The four states of architecture described in this book - horizon, light, atmospheres, and ground - are derived from contemporary interpretations of matter, light, and the natural world. This book features fourteen of Hanrahan + Meyers' projects, each of which is aligned with one of these states. The projects range in scale from individual residences to galleries, museums, and buildings for the performing arts. The context of ideas in which they are set crosses the boundaries that typically divide architecture, art, science, and experience.

Résumé:
The Sydney Opera House is one of the world’s great icons and a symbol of Australia. The overall image which it has maintained does reflect the brilliant design work that Utzon invested in the project, even if it had a troubled history and it was subject to many changes. This book reveals for the first time exactly what happened. Francoise Fromonot has researched documentation relating to every single phase of project--in the process discovering a precious collection of photographic negatives depicting each stage in the construction work--and her story reveals how changes in the political situation and crude professional scheming led to the Australians ultimately abandoning the great challenge the Danish architect had offered them. The text and pictures tell a unique story, both of a building and of an architect who set us an example we still do not fully understand.
