L architecte Auguste Perret (1874-1954), précurseur du mouvement moderne en France, a défini les fondements d une nouvelle architecture pour le XXe siècle. Son travail a été profondément influencé par la technique de construction de l ossature en béton armé. À l instar de la rue de l immeuble du 25 bis, rue Franklin à Paris, réalisé en 1903, il a su réinventer l utilisation du béton, matériau considéré jusque-là comme banal et industriel, et lui a conféré une nouvelle esthétique. Le Corbusier voyait d ailleurs dans cet édifice « un avant-goût du goût moderne ».

Résumé:
As readers of Huxtable's Pulitzer Prize-winning criticism know, she is a discerning writer fluent in architectural thought and practice. She now offers a fresh perspective on Frank Lloyd Wright's much scrutinized yet still surprising life. Comfortable with ambiguity and complexity, Huxtable not only parses both key events and overlooked subtleties, she also wrestles with the prickly questions about character and creativity raised by the contrast between Wright's self-serving, tyrannical behavior and his enormously influential achievements. Fascinated by Wright's supreme confidence, fiscal recklessness, con-man charm, and phoenixlike resurrections, Huxtable tells the still shocking stories of his abandonment of his first wife and six children; the gruesome murders at Taliesin, his Wisconsin estate; and the conflicts with his vindictive second wife that landed him in jail and left him homeless. But Huxtable is no less compelling in her chronicling of Wright's ever-evolving vision of "organic architecture," which gave rise to his Prairie house; the Usonian house, the prototype for the ranch house; and many other innovations, thus renewing appreciation for a wildly unconventional but essential architect.

Résumé:
How to Be A Happy Architect explores the work of Bauman Lyons Architects in the context of ways of "being" within the profession. This subject is broken down into three chapters, written by one of the practice’s directors, and CABE Commissioner, Irena Bauman. These explore subjects such as the ways of working as a team and in partnership with clients; the power struggle between art and architecture; and the significance of awards and prizes in contemporary architecture. The writting within each chapter constitutes a chain of thought that is sparked off by a "provocation" from sources as diverse as Ayn Rand, Socrates and press coverage of contemporary buildings like the Scottish Parliament. Further, the book illustrates many projects and gives an overview of the breadth and variety of the work that Bauman Lyons undertakes, including cultural, healthcare and residential buildings. How to Be A Happy Architect provides both a profile of one of today’s most vibrant practices, and a challenge to the reader to explore outside his or her usual approach to, and philosophy of, architecture.
