Résumé:
Achevée en juin 1932, la villa Cavrois constitue un véritable choc esthétique moderne, dont les effets sont toujours perceptibles aujourd'hui. L'architecte Robert Mallet-Stevens accomplit là sa création la plus aboutie, grâce à la grande liberté que lui laissa son commanditaire, Paul Cavrois. Le concept de la villa est en soi passionnant car il s'agit d'une oeuvre de transition entre l'architecture résidentielle traditionnelle et l'architecture moderne. C'est un véritable programme de " château moderne ". Ses proportions sont imposantes - près de 60 m de long, 3 000 m de surface - organisées selon les principes d'axialité et de symétrie des châteaux du XVIIe siècle. Si son concept reste traditionnel, tout est néanmoins conçu pour offrir le plus grand confort moderne. Cet album raconte l'histoire tourmentée de la villa et présente, dans un portfolio d'une cinquantaine d'images, ses transformations et vicissitudes, depuis son inauguration jusqu'à sa réouverture en 2015.

Résumé:
One of the most acclaimed architects working in Brazil since the mid-twentieth century, Paulo Mendes da Rocha (1928–2021) began building in the 1950s, championing an approach often associated with "Brutalism" but expanding well beyond it. This retrospective catalogue is the first major publication on Mendes da Rocha since the establishment of his archive at the Casa da Arquitectura in 2021. A team of international scholars provides a comprehensive view of the architect’s trajectory and the collective dimension of his work, along with thematic essays. Mendes da Rocha’s identity as a South American architect interested in the geographic relation between nature and culture is underlined. The book’s contributors explore his concern with the social and anthropogenic impact of the continent’s development, as well as its colonial past and postcolonial future.

Résumé:
Minerva Parker Nichols (1862–1949) was the first American woman to practice architecture independently. Her specialty was residential spaces—though her commissions also included an iron foundry and a macaroni factory—and she was a significant figure in the design of the emerging railroad towns just outside of Philadelphia, where she was in active practice from 1883 until(...)

Résumé:
Minerva Parker Nichols (1862–1949) was the first American woman to practice architecture independently. Her specialty was residential spaces—though her commissions also included an iron foundry and a macaroni factory—and she was a significant figure in the design of the emerging railroad towns just outside of Philadelphia, where she was in active practice from 1883 until 1896. She was also a writer, teacher, and active participant in several reform movements of the era. Creating an archive in the absence of one, this book recovers Nichols’s forgotten story to document a career that spanned seven decades, engaging with contemporary questions about absences in the historical record, the challenges of architectural history and preservation, and the need for new tools and frameworks to address these gaps.

Résumé:
Ce volume présente des œuvres et des projets de Christoph Hesse Architects. Il s'agit de pavillons réalisés pour la documenta quinze de Kassel, de lieux ouverts, c'est-à-dire d'installations conçues comme des espaces de rencontre, de régénération de bâtiments en ruine transformés en musées ou en espaces publics. L'approche des projets est en phase avec l'esprit profond de la communauté, désireuse d'essayer de nouvelles choses et de les mettre en œuvre. Le studio aime penser à des projets qui, d'une manière ou d'une autre, déclenchent un processus pour construire différemment, toujours envisager de nouvelles perspectives, sortir des sentiers battus. L'intégration dans un processus de collaboration avec des personnes créatives de professions et de compétences différentes, la recherche d'une identité profonde, d'une construction écologique et autosuffisante sont des aspects présents dans le travail du studio, ainsi que la nécessité de rétablir un lien entre les individus, l'environnement et l'architecture.

Résumé:
''Primitive future: Everything is circulating'' is dedicated to twelve projects by Sou Fujimoto Architects that have either been realised or are in planning. In the first room of the exhibition, twelve films provide insights into the process of designing the multifaceted typologies and forms. The reference to Fujimoto’s architectural philosophy is presented in the second room of the exhibition: an expansive installation expresses the notion of an connected world based on twelve floating wire objects. They can be read in a line as people, nature, geography and architecture, circulating as a metamorphosis. Depending on the viewpoint, various scales and scenes can appear as a three-dimensional drawing in a space that is connected and stands in harmony with various things.

Résumé:
This book is built from images, drawings and texts. These three types of documents are exposed in an elemental way, alone in the center of each page and isolated from the project to which they belong. The authors organized the inventory from a set of documents that first claim their independence and then undergo a peer dialogue. These two actions may seem to cancel each other out, but they actually both reaffirm a very basic idea, which holds that the interest of a conversation is closely related to the consistency of its interlocutors. The conversation that arises from each diptych is precisely what stimulates the appearance of a tacit project. A project that bypasses material organizations and that is only possible due the intervention of an active reader, capable of establishing connections between the printed documents. This book is a twofold response to what are the disciplinary assets that the architecture studio Adamo-Faiden produces and how they should be organized to accurately delineate the authors’ interests.
