Résumé:
This book presents 27 of the more than 600 projects and creations completed by one of the leading French contemporary architects. Some of these creations are very well known, not merely among design and interior architecture specialists but by the public at large. From inflatable structures (Kléber Colombes in the 1970s) to the headquarters of major firms (Ford, Renault, L’Oréal, BMCE Bank, among others), Ronald Cecil Sportes has created original works representing an engagement with a sleek and strikingly modern aesthetic. Sportes has designed many furniture items (chairs, lamps, etc.), designs honored by many museums, including Cooper-Hewitt in New York, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Victoria and Albert Museum in London, who have devoted major retrospectives to the architect (beginning in 1985). Classic Not Plastic includes a documented index that enables the reader to discover the author's profound intentions as well as investigate further into Sportes' work.

Résumé:
Rob Krier counts among the protagonists of the post-modernist circle of architects of the second half of the 20th century, and is one of the leading thinkers in the field of the theory and practice of town planning. He has always objected strongly to the dominance of rationalism and functionalism in architecture. Of great significance in his urban planning is the relationship between emptyand built upon urban space. Krier is also one of the most exceptional architectural draftsmen; his colourful, precise and detailed drawings are more like architectural vedutas and caprices. Presented here in all its manifold aspects are over four decades of Rob Krier's work, including a complete list of works.

Résumé:
The last few years have seen some of Norman Foster's most remarkable and ambitious projects around the world. In London, the Swiss Re headquarters - the capital's first ecological tall building - has become a popular landmark, while the arch of the new Wembley Stadium is already a familiar element on the skyline. This new catalogue documents the practice's work over the last four decades. While detailed descriptions of more than eighty buildings and projects, it offers a comprehensive survey of the practice's diverse activities as urban planners, architects and industrial designers, covering a spectrum from the scale of the city masterplan to the detail of a door handle. It includes designs for airports, railway stations, brigdes, museums, schools, universities, offices, private houses, furniture and products.

Résumé:
Hailed as “one of the greatest minds of our times,” Richard Buckminster Fuller is known as an American visionary, designer, architect, engineer, inventor and philosopher and was undeniably one of the key innovators of the 20th century. This book provides a visually rich and complete overview of Fuller’s design and architectural production, situating Fuller’s projects in their historical context. The book features never before published material from the Fuller archives which were recently donated to Stanford University. Michael John Gorman’s essay offers an in-depth analysis of Fuller’s work - focusing more attention on his innovative architectural projects than on other aspects of Fuller’s “design science” - as well as an interesting perspective on post-war American society and architectural culture. Chapters include concepts of Fuller’s philosophy, his manifesto for mass-produced housing, the role of mobile shelter in transforming behaviour, geodesic domes, and Fuller’s early experiments. Fuller’s achievements, astonishing design and production are fully documented using original and often unknown archival materials.

Résumé:
Au début des années soixante, des revues internationales d’art et d’architecture consacraient plusieurs articles aux travaux du jeune architecte André Jacqmain. Sous le titre "Une maison pour des tableaux", L’Œil d’avril 1962 présentait la maison du couple de collectionneurs d’art moderne Bertie et Gigi Urvater. Demeure baroque conçue comme un parcours labyrinthique qui égrenait sur ses murs les Magritte, Ernst, Klee, Matta, Bacon, Riopelle… "Une maison", écrit l’auteur du texte, "qui ne ressemble à aucune autre", mettant ainsi le doigt sur ce qui caractérise l’originalité de Jacqmain. Toujours produire, au risque de ne pas faire école, des œuvres différentes nées de son imaginaire de latin du Nord et souvent soulignées par un tréfonds stylistique : réminiscences des élancements gothiques, des pagodes chinoises, de l’art déco... Après des études à l’Académie des beaux-arts de Bruxelles pendant les années de guerre, on le retrouve en 1950 aux Ateliers du Marais où il côtoie Pierre Alechinsky et Christian Dotremont. À 46 ans, en 1967, il fonde l’Atelier d’architecture de Genval, s’entoure d’une équipe, une pépinière d’idées qui fouettent l’imagination, qui lui permet d’aborder la grande échelle. Ce solitaire qui n’aime pas la solitude a toujours su s’entourer d’amis fidèles et d’artistes comme le créateur de meubles Jules Wabbes, les frères Strebelle, les photographes Gilles Ehrmann et Fabien de Cugnac, l’architecte Nicole Beeckmans qui l’a assisté dans la réalisation de ce livre où il retrace à travers des dessins son parcours, de sa naissance à aujourd’hui.
