Résumé:
Yves Lion, réputé pour ses musées et autres bâtiments de prestige (l'ambassade de France à Beyrouth lui a valu le prix de l'Equerre d'argent en 2003), est d'abord un architecte du logement. Son œuvre, représentative d'une génération, est néanmoins peu conventionnelle : des logements expérimentaux aux logements ordinaires, du secteur public au secteur privé, Yves Lion se distingue sur la scène architecturale par la continuité de ses convictions et un certain courage face aux ruptures de la conjoncture. Original, précis et captivant, le point de vue du sociologue éclaire l'œuvre de l'architecte ; l'analyse croisée des intentions et de la réception est étayée par la vivacité des témoignages d'habitants et par la qualité documentaire des illustrations (photographies, plans, dessins, relevés habités). Photographies : Gitty Darugar, Pierre Gaudin, Adrià Goula Sarda, Jean-Marie Monthiers. Dahliette Sucheyre. Relevés habités : Émilie Bouquin.

Résumé:
Collected here for the first time in paperback are the large-scale projects Meier developed during the last decade–mature works that coincide with his celebration as one of the world’s foremost architects. His reflections on being heir to an abstract modernist ethic meld together with his concepts of the city and the contemporary landscape. Meier’s architecture privileges large public works above others, using their monumentality to imagine the possibilities of contemporary civic spaces. The recent Church for the Jubilee in Rome demonstrates the conjunction of modernity with simplicity and emotion of form, light, and material. But Meier also uses smaller-scale private commissions–such as the celebrated 173/176 Perry Street residential towers in New York–as an opportunity to explore the limits of his unique and immediately recognizable brand of modernism.

Résumé:
In this book, renowned architectural historian Dietrich Neumann presents a new, critical look at Mies and complicates the established narrative about him. Diverging from the reverential posture of many existing accounts, Neumann insists on the importance of the contemporary contex t—social, political, and architectural— for understanding the architect’s life and work. The book draws on many overlooked archival and primary sources to demonstrate how and why Mies’s designs were shaped and received, foregrounding contemporary critics’ responses and the work of Mies’s collaborators and peers. It presents several previously unknown buildings, projects, and furniture designs and challenges long-established interpretations of key works. Comprehensively illustrated and covering the entirety of Mies’s career, this ambitious book is the most substantial account to date of the life and work of one of the most important architects of the twentieth century.

Résumé:
Architect Paul Rudolph (1918–1997) was known for his iconic modern houses and exemplary Brutalist buildings in exposed concrete. Rudolph’s popularity peaked during the 1950s and 1960s, when he served as the chair of Yale University’s Department of Architecture, but his work fell from favor with the advent of postmodernism in the 1970s. This compact volume provides an introduction to and long-overdue reassessment of the architect’s trailblazing career, from his modernist Florida houses to his public and institutional buildings, unrealized megastructures, experimental interiors, and later mixed use developments in Asia. Abraham Thomas examines how Rudolph explored concepts such as functionalism, urbanism, and modular construction across decades and continents. Richly illustrated with photographs of the structures and Rudolph’s own drawings as well as models, furniture, and period press clippings, this book sheds light on the architect’s process and takes up themes as important in his time as in our own, such as civic design, housing development, and experimental materials and methods.

Résumé:
This little book paints a portrait of BAST, an acronym for "Bureau d'Architecture Sans Titre" (Untitled Architecture Office), through 20 identical questions asked to 20 people selected from among the clients, service providers and collaborators of the Toulouse-based agency. Through the answers, sometimes terse, sometimes prolix, grouped together and organised according to a simple principle (one page, one answer), a profile of the agency emerges: positioning, method, qualities, faults... which allows us to better understand its approach, but also the environment and the crisis era in which it is embedded.

Résumé:
Amancio Williams (1913-1989) è uno degli esponenti più importanti e originali della cultura argentina e del movimento moderno; tuttavia la sua architettura rimane in parte ancora inesplorata. La produzione critica in Italia non sempre ha garantito una sufficiente diffusione della sua rara quanto inusuale dimensione progettuale, fondata su antitesi capaci di dar vita a soluzioni sorprendenti e uniche. Questo volume è un‘occasione per riscoprire le strategie tecniche e compositive di Williams, in grado di rispondere ai temi e alle esigenze della contemporaneità. Il libro conta su un repertorio di immagini inedite, su un ricco contributo teorico e su una esegesi critica del suo modus operandi, accompagnata da schemi e analisi re-interpretative.
