We are taking these pieces to examine, with great attention, how they could relate on paper as if they were equivalent. By doing so the defining lines of the respective projects are rendered ambiguous, and a vague, abstract image of the whole emerges."

Photographs by Christian RichtersThe architects in the Viennese Coop Himmelb(l)au team have felt committed to the credo of constructing cities and buildings that float like clouds ever since the practice was founded in 1968. The recently opened BMW World is such a floating building. Excellent photographs provide a record of this demonstration project by BMW. The urban-sculptural and internal spatial qualities of the building are analysed thoroughly, and dealt with in detail in the context of Coop Himmelb(l)au's older and more recent works.

Résumé:
The celebrated British architect Sir John Soane (1753–1837) created his extraordinary house-museum from three properties in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London.There, in houses that embody both his architectural vision and his passion for collecting, Soane exhibited a marvellous array of artefacts, including an outstanding collection of plaster casts, and idiosyncratic items ranging from mummified cats to the sarcophagus of the Egyptian king Seti I. Soane intended the collection to be an ‘Academy of Architecture’ that would inspire students for generations to come, and today it continues to attract more than 90,000 visitors every year.Written by the present director of the museum and featuring specially commissioned photographs by Derry Moore, this absorbing account of a unique, perpetually surprising cabinet of curiosities offers a fascinating insight into the genius of an exceptional man.

Résumé:
Première édition, premier numéros de la collection Carnets d'architectes, bibliographie "Monsieur Fuller n'est heureusement pas architecte. Il n'est heureusement pas non plus ingénieur, mais il a commencé à philosopher sur le logement, sur la machine idéale adaptée à l'habitation, sans les apriorismes formels ni architecturaux du passé." Voilà la façon dont Harvey W. Corbett président de Architectural League de New York, présente R. Buckminster Fuller ses collègues, l'été 1929. Née comme produit dérivé des icônes de la technologie et de la mobilité, la maison que Buckminster Fuller dévoile ce jour-là cache, un projet d'habitat entendu dans le sens le plus large. Au fil des années, de son atelier d'inventeur nomade, sortiront des prototypes des véhicules, des toilettes portables, du mobilier, des mappemondes et ses célèbres coupoles géodésiques qui lui vaudront sa réputation internationale. Inspiré de la logique d'un album de photos, ce livre articule le récit biographique sur l'œuvre de R. Buckminster Fuller avec quelques uns de ses projets-phare qui ouvrent - par leur forme ou par leur technologie des nouvelles pistes à la réflexion architecturale.

Résumé:
Première édition, deuxième numéros de la collection Carnets d'architectes, bibliographie. Cet ouvrage est la première monographie consacrée à Bernard Zehrfuss Grand Prix de Rome en 1939, qui dirige la reconstruction de la Tunisie et s'engage très tôt dans la modernité pour se rallier aux modes de production les plus novateurs. Figure majeure de l'architecture de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle en France, il est l'auteur ou le coauteur de quelques-uns des bâtiments les plus marquants de l'après-guerre. On citera notamment l'imprimerie Mame à Tours, l'usine Renault de Flins, le siège de l'Unesco à Paris, le CNIT à la Défense ou, plus tard, le musée de la Civilisation gallo-romaine à Lyon. Au fil de ces projets, Zehrfuss collabore avec les plus grands ingénieurs ou constructeurs de son temps (Jean Prouvé, Pier Luigi Nervi).
