Résumé:
Since 2015, Mexican architect Francisco Pardo has run his own practice in fast-growing and fast-changing Mexico City. His projects have reflected how Mexico is transforming the idea of the Latin American city: part ancient, part colonial, part futuristic. His Havre 69 project, created with his partner from architecture firm at103, Julio Amezcua, repurposes a 100-year-old residence for upper-middle-class families into offices, 12 separate residences, a bakery and a restaurant. On the one hand, Pardo exposes large sections of brick and maintains the original tile, while on the other, he builds modernist concrete and glass boxes that frame the original façade. Likewise, the architect's Milan44 project takes an autoparts store in a warehouse in the Roma neighborhood of Mexico City and creates a vertical urban market that brings the storefront street level onto each level of the structure. The architecture of Francisco Pardo reflects a fresh direction in the vast project of building Latin America into the future.

Résumé:
Between 1945 and 1967, Le Corbusier (1887–1965) planned and built five “Unités d’habitation” in Marseille, Rezé, Berlin, Briey-en-Forêt and Firminy. Due to an acute shortage of housing after the war, he developed a new type of building—multifunctional blocks of flats that combined a large number of apartments on a small plot. These buildings included a roof landscape, as(...)

Résumé:
Between 1945 and 1967, Le Corbusier (1887–1965) planned and built five “Unités d’habitation” in Marseille, Rezé, Berlin, Briey-en-Forêt and Firminy. Due to an acute shortage of housing after the war, he developed a new type of building—multifunctional blocks of flats that combined a large number of apartments on a small plot. These buildings included a roof landscape, as well as such urban structures as schools, cinemas, pharmacies and grocery stores. Le Corbusier’s revolutionary idea of a vertical city offered novel solutions to urban planning issues and social, aesthetic and structural challenges. The five Unités, now in various states of repair, have been photographed by photographer Arthur Zalewski (born 1971). This catalog collects Zalewski’s photographs alongside texts by curator Peter Ottmann, Arthur Zalewski and Anne König.

Résumé:
Built between 1957 and 1958, Le Corbusier’s Unité d’habitation in Berlin stands as an exceptional work of postwar architecture in Berlin. Although it follows the basic concept of a “vertical village” as envisioned by the architect, the gigantic block, containing 530 apartments, clearly differs from the Marseille original. However, as a result of modifications required by(...)

Résumé:
Built between 1957 and 1958, Le Corbusier’s Unité d’habitation in Berlin stands as an exceptional work of postwar architecture in Berlin. Although it follows the basic concept of a “vertical village” as envisioned by the architect, the gigantic block, containing 530 apartments, clearly differs from the Marseille original. However, as a result of modifications required by the client, the construction occupies the position of an outsider in Le Corbusier’s oeuvre. Authors from the fields of architecture, urbanism, art history and cultural studies precisely set out the genesis of the listed building for the first time. In addition, they investigate the development of the Unité d’habitation model, and the Berlin variant’s unique color concept, and carry out a comparison with the four typologically related buildings in France. In looking at the significance, ingenuity and creative impact of Le Corbusier’s unique creation in Berlin, the so-called Corbusierhaus, the publication fills a gap in the literature on postwar modernism and the architect’s body of work.

Résumé:
La première « rétrospective sur le travail de Jean Prouvé, l'exposition « Jean Prouvé industriel du bâtiment » 21 janvier - 31 mars 1964, qui s'est déroulée au Pavillon de Marsan du Musée des arts décoratifs à Paris et a étrangement disparue dans le paysage historiographique du créateur, alors même que Jean Prouvé s'y implique personnellement et qu'il tente d'y expliquer précisément son travail. Pourquoi n'a-t-elle pas fait date et n'est-elle pas mentionnée dans la pluspart des ouvrages précis sur la carrièere de Prouvé ? Ré-ouvre-t-elle des problématiques et lesquelles ? À partir des questions que pose la disparition de cette exposition, l'enquête menée par le biais des archives, permet d'élaborer quelques hypothèses et de soulever des enjeux qui sont, non seulement au coeur de la démarche et des convictions de Jean Prouvé, mais également révélatrices du rapport complexe de la construction et du projet de France, comme paralysée par la tension entre milieu culturel et industriel.

Résumé:
Twenty years after its restoration, this is how the history of the Cappella del Barolo, or Cappella delle Brunate, can be summed up: a "rainbow among the hills" that enchants with its colours and its almost magical aura - whether you discover it by chance during a bicycle ride or whether you go looking for it on purpose. A simple version of the facts, however, is not enough to recount such a mysterious place that has become legendary; and it is indeed a legend that Andrea Bajani relates in this book, a narration with many possible versions and protagonists, in order to rediscover the uncertain, and thus even more fascinating, history of the Chapel.
