Résumé:
More than one hundred exhibitions of Frank Lloyd Wright's work were mounted between 1894 and his death in 1959. Wright organized the majority of these exhibitions himself and viewed them as crucial to his self-presentation as his extensive writings. He used them to promote his designs, appeal to new viewers, and persuade his detractors. Wright on Exhibit presents the first history of this neglected aspect of the architect’s influential career. Drawing extensively from Wright’s unpublished correspondence, Kathryn Smith challenges the preconceived notion of Wright as a self-promoter who displayed his work in search of money, clients, and fame. She shows how he was an artist-architect projecting an avant-garde program, an innovator who expanded the palette of installation design as technology evolved, and a social activist driven to revolutionize society through design. While Wright’s earliest exhibitions were largely for other architects, by the 1930s he was creating public installations intended to inspire debate and change public perceptions about architecture. The nature of his exhibitions expanded with the times beyond models, drawings, and photographs to include more immersive tools such as slides, film, and even a full-scale structure built especially for his 1953 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum. Placing Wright’s exhibitions side by side with his writings, Smith shows how integral these exhibitions were to his vision and sheds light on the broader discourse concerning architecture and modernism during the first half of the twentieth century. Wright on Exhibit features color renderings, photos, and plans, as well as a checklist of exhibitions and an illustrated catalog of extant and lost models made under Wright’s supervision.

Résumé:
Cinquante ans après la disparition de l'architecte Le Corbusier, qu'en est-il de la sauvegarde de son oeuvre? D'autant que la situation et donc la conservation de ses réalisations connaissent une mutation profonde : changement de propriétaire ou d'usage, parfois les deux. D'un autre côté, les contraintes environnementales ou réglementaires risquent d'affecter leur authenticité et leur intégrité. Au-delà du simple entretien, la réparation voire la restauration soulève la question du remplacement de nombreux éléments qui ne se trouvent plus : comment faire ? L'expérimentation systématique a entraîné de nombreux désordres : comment les reprendre aujourd'hui ? Comment traiter un béton corrodé ? Comment procéder à une consolidation structurelle ? Comment adapter aux nouvelles normes de sécurité et de confort ? Comment traiter les modifications suscitées par l'usage au fil du temps ? Voilà tout un registre de questions théoriques et pratiques qui se posent présentement, et plus généralement pour toute l'architecture du XXe siècle.

"La idea construída" réunit les textes les plus intéressants de Campo Baeza, dans lesquels il exprime sa conception de l'architecture. C'est à travers des plans et des textes que l'architecte dévoile les clés de son travail. « Merci à Mies Van der Rohe ou à Le Corbusier pour leurs écrits passionnants qui éclairent leurs oeuvres. Je voudrais donc que l'on comprenne aujourd'hui ensemble tous ces textes. Exprimer clairement ses intentions c'est aussi révéler le sens de l'architecture. Si les idées exprimées deviennent réalité construite c'est preuve qu'elles sont valables et que les mots ne sont pas vains. »
