Résumé:
Charles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames’s residential architecture is defined by their human-centered approach to modernism. Their work demonstrates a deep commitment to structural clarity, user-centered functionality, and the intelligent use of prefabrication. Rather than focusing purely on aesthetics, the Eameses approached architecture as a form of problem-solving, aiming to create flexible systems that offered a background for life and work in all its expressions. This book presents all eight houses they designed between 1945 and 1955, featuring sketches, drawings, letters, and photographs – many of which have never been published before – alongside newly produced diagrams and models that offer further insight into their design process.

Résumé:
''Seventeen Playgrounds'' is a research project by Denisa Kollarová and Anna van Lingen on the work of the Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck (1918–1999), who designed hundreds of playgrounds in Amsterdam between the 1950s and 1970s. These playgrounds, characterised by simple metal structures and concrete elements, enabled children to develop autonomy and creativity through play. The research began as a mapping of the few surviving sites still present in Amsterdam’s cityscape, developed within the Graphic Design course at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, and was first published by Lecturis (NL) in 2015. This second edition is co-published with the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Technical University of Brno (CZ).

Résumé:
Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as Paolo Soleri, Bruce Goff and Gunnar Birkerts, Bruder opened his own design studio in 1974. His self-built house/studio on the desert edge of Phoenix garnered a Record Houses of 1977 design award. A Fellowship in Architecture at the American Academy in Rome was a career turning-point permitting several months of intense reflection from a studio overlooking Rome, and travel throughout Europe to study historic and contemporary architecture. Filled with fresh perspective, Bruder won the commission to design the 280,000 square foot Phoenix Central Library. It opened in 1995. Cultural, civic and private commissions followed, as did opportunities to travel, lecture, and teach.

Résumé:
This volume tells the story of La Nouvelle Maison, the fourth and final home of the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde, which he designed for himself and his family in Tervuren, Belgium. Built in 1928 and recently restored to exacting standards, the residence embodies van de Velde’s mature vision of rational, human-centered design. Drawing on archival materials, newly commissioned photography, and the insights of leading experts, the book reveals the building’s architectural significance as a paragon of European modernism. It also discusses the challenges of returning the home to its original form, including sourcing historically accurate materials, conserving original joinery and finishes, and adapting the building to meet modern standards without compromising van de Velde’s holistic vision.

Résumé:
Lisbeth Sachs (1914–2002) caused a sensation at the very beginning of her professional career: freshly graduated, she won the 1939 competition for the Kurtheater Baden. With the building, opened in 1952, she expressed her lucid architectural position and experienced what it meant to be one of the first independent Swiss female architects in a male-dominated profession. For Sachs, construction was a procedural act that extended from craftsmanship to the suitability of materials and finally to people’s appropriation of spaces. She sought to achieve architecture that floated, emerging organically from the topography and following environmentally and socially compatible principles. Her interdisciplinary understanding of architecture as applied ecology makes her work and thinking more relevant now than ever.

Résumé:
L’histoire racontée ici est celle d’un couple iconoclaste de la scène architecturale française. Une carrière d’un demi-siècle. C’est l’histoire d’un artiste qui devient architecte: des châteaux de sable sur la plage de la Bernerie au parking des Machines sur l’île de Nantes. Une vie de création à la recherche du trait juste. C’est aussi l’histoire d’une rencontre, d’une vie à deux et d’un dialogue exigeant entre les dessins et les mots, les mots de Clotilde, son regard sur la ville et ses maux. C’est l’histoire d’une psychologue qui devient architecte. L’histoire d’une ville et de ses transformations. L’histoire de Nantes et des Nantais. Mi-roman mi-enquête, ce récit revient sur les projets importants du couple, leur manière exclusive de travailler à deux et les rencontres essentielles sans lesquelles rien ne se serait fait. Il laisse aussi une part importante à l’imaginaire des Barto, leur rapport à l’art et surtout au cinéma.

Résumé:
Martin Mostböck works across design, material and craft. "The state of things" reveals how furniture, objects and houses emerge from production, testing and experimentation. On display are chairs, tables, lamps as well as residential houses and pavilions — works that make his distinctive material language and hands-on, craft-based approach, tangible. As an architect and designer, he develops ideas into objects: knife, saw and prototype in hand, he tests and shapes his designs, making decisions through an immediate dialogue between material and production. Balancing functional clarity with playful form, the works tell stories, shift scales and open new perspectives on space, material and everyday life. The exhibition at Aedes presents a multifaceted view of a practice that melds together processes from architecture to design through its craftsmanship.
