Résumé:
This slim volume examines the architecture of the new ''Experimenta Science Center in Heilbronn'' from three different perspectives. Seen in terms of urban history, this building—designed by Berlin-based firm Sauerbruch Hutton—simultaneously stands as an icon and a tool for change. As a construction, it follows its own experimental path, both in organizational, structural and ecological terms. Finally, the project is the late offspring of a typological family of spiral buildings which stretches from antiquity via the modern movement up to the present. All three perspectives are captured in Florian Heilmeyer’s concise and lucid texts and are illustrated by numerous photos and drawings.

Résumé:
The Pastoor van Ars Church, built in 1969 by the legendary Dutch Structuralist architect Aldo van Eyck (1918–99) in The Hague, is one of the few significant churches to emerge from the second half of the 20th century. This volume sheds light on the unique architectural and spatial qualities of the building. Although not a Catholic himself, Van Eyck made every effort to build an authentic and contemporary Catholic place of worship. To this end, he harked back to the original typology of the early Christian basilica, whose components he incorporated into new conceptions of space explored by the modernist avant-garde, in particular the dynamic geometries of Mondrian and Brancusi’s forms. Author Francis Strauven, who has previously written an extensive monograph on the Dutch architect, pays particular attention to the intensive design process, which he has reconstructed using more than 100 design sketches from the Van Eyck archive.

Résumé:
Bruno Reichlin est l’un des plus grands théoriciens de l’architecture du XXe siècle. Dans son étude des œuvres clés de Le Corbusier, il envisage à la fois la nature même du bâtiment et son fondement théorique. Les textes de Reichlin et sa pratique architecturale sont marqués par son approche des signes et symboles se manifestant dans les œuvres construites ainsi qu’un vaste cadre référentiel allant de la littérature et du cinéma aux beaux-arts. Ce livre rassemble 13 essais sur l’œuvre de Le Corbusier, rédigés par Reichlin au cours d’une quarantaine d’années. À partir de constructions telles que la Villa La Roche, le Carpenter Center, la Petite Maison et les villas Savoye et Mandrot, sans oublier le projet pour l’hôpital à Venise, le livre explore les multiples aspects de la créativité de Le Corbusier dans leurs principes et leur mise en œuvre architecturale. Un très large fond de documents historiques et des graphiques analytiques spécialement conçus pour ces essais accompagnent les textes.

L'autoroute comme un sujet obsessionnel, capable d'éclairer l'inconscient d'une pratique architecturale. Telle pourrait être la description succincte de cet ouvrage qui rassemble des textes inédits ou déjà publiés par Studio Muoto sur le thème de l'autoroute. Ce recueil éclectique de textes – extraits d'articles ou de conférences, notes, descriptions de projet – est complété par un véritable scrapbook photographique réalisé par les architectes de l'agence qui, en 2023, occupe le pavillon français à la Biennale d'architecture de Venise. Ces images prises au cours de leurs déplacements et de leurs nombreux projets illustrent leurs obsessions autant que les errements de leurs réflexions. Holy Highway reflète ainsi le principe du voyage exploratoire comme fondement d'une sensibilité architecturale.

Résumé:
Since 1995, Dhaka-based architecture firm Kashef Chowdhury / URBANA has produced an astonishing collection of works of divergent scales, typologies, and contexts located in one of the most meteorologically challenging regions in the world. A hospital introduced into an economy decimated by rising oceans, a shelter against cyclones in Bangladesh’s southern coastal region, and architectural interventions in one of the world’s densest metropolitan areas: Kashef Chowdhury / URBANA’s designs are incisive, critical responses to varied issues and urgencies rooted in the belief that architecture must be a reflection of, and sympathetic to, increasingly fragile ecological conditions. ''Meditations in Entropy'' is the first full monograph on the work of Kashef Chowdhury / URBANA. It features 18 of the firm’s realized designs in detail through photographs by acclaimed architectural photographer Hélène Binet as well as numerous plans, drawings, sketches, and other images. Perceptive essays are contributed by the distinguished critics and historians Kenneth Frampton, Robert McCarter, William J. R. Curtis, and Philip Ursprung, and by Ainun Nishat, a renowned water resource and climate change specialist. An illustrated catalogue of Kashef Chowdhury / URBANA’s projects and realized buildings rounds off this beautifully designed volume.
