Résumé:
In 2008, Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and Chinese artist Ai Weiwei joined forces to design the celebrated Beijing National Stadium for the Olympic Games. In 2012, the team came together again for the Serpentine Gallery’s acclaimed annual commission, as part of the London 2012 Festival, the culmination of the Cultural Olympiad. Their pavilion takes visitors beneath the Serpentine’s lawn to explore the hidden history of its previous pavilions. Supporting the structure from below, eleven columns symbolize past pavilions, and a twelfth represents the current one. The pavilion’s interior is clad in cork, to evoke the excavated earth, and is built as a network of pathways and trenches. Herzog & de Meuron and Weiwei’s archaeological approach creates a space that invites visitors to look beneath the surface of the park as well as back in time to the inspiration of earlier structures. Foreword and interview by Julia Peyton-Jones, Hans Ulrich Obrist

Résumé:
The Tugendhat House in Brno (Czech Republic) was named by UNESCO in 2001 as one of the most important buildings of modern architecture and as a World Heritage Site. Mies van der Rohe designed and built it in 1928-1930 and it is beyond any doubt one of the pinnacles in his career. The authors describe the complex aspects of this house: personal, historical, art historical, architecture theoretical and restoration scientific ones. Most recent additions include personal reminiscences, photography experiments by Fritz Tugendhat and previously unpublished footage from the family mansion, the house's history after 1997, the conservation of scientifically important materiality of the house and comments on the methodology and techniques of restoration in 2010-2012.

Résumé:
Robert A. M. Stern Architects, over its forty-year history and across a wide range of building types, has defined principles common to all projects. Stern articulates the ideas that govern his design process through this visual presentation of all types of his work: museums and cultural institutions, colleges and universities, commercial and residential developers, and, famously, private residential clients throughout the United States and Europe. Evidence serves as a visual synthesis of Stern's methodologies, revealing the firm's vision through juxtapositions of building, material and landscape.

This illustrated catalogue presents the work of @Lab, a research laboratory based in Halifax, Canada. This group has created crafted textiles transformed with electronics, in an intellectually chanllenging proposition to make spaces respond to human inhabitation. The reader will discover a wealth of forms, patterns, colours, and textures, and learn how textiles can be activated by electronics to light up, change their space or acoustic qualities. This work extends contemporary research in wearable electronics to an architectural scale, in the design of an animated architecture that moves and earns.

Résumé:
Arranged in chronological order, the book's five sections and its conclusion offer a synthetic portrait of Mies's career and reception, spanning sixty years, two continents and two world wars. The text tells a continuous story, however, most chapters focus on a significant work (the Seagram building or the IIT campus), allowing for an in-depth presentation of photographs and drawings; other chapters focus on a specific event in Mies's life (such Mies's time as the head of the Bauhaus). All the important buildings are presented through photographs, drawings and diagrams, showing the innovative structures, fine details and material richness that distinguish Mies's work. In addition, many pieces of art and architecture that influenced Mies are also illustrated as well as being discussed in the text.

Résumé:
This book explores Wright's lessons on how climate, sustainability, sunlight, modern technology, local materials, and passive environmental controls can become the inspiration for excellent design, and highlights a selection of Wright's buildings to show how he dealt with these issues. The book is organized by the green concepts Wright used--including passive solar design and the use of thermal massing, passive berm insulation, environmentally sensitive landscaping, passive ventilation systems, passive natural light, and intelligent and artful adaptation of technology--with examples from different houses. It shows how Wright evolved certain ideas that continue to spur discussions of green architecture design today.

Résumé:
À l’occasion de sa venue au Thoronet, Eduardo Souto de Moura témoigne du lieu, montre l’importance du site et dit les raisons de sa beauté qui sont celles aussi de sa fragilité essentiellement due à l’abandon d’un « système » d’occupation du territoire propre à une abbaye. Il avance alors propositions et projets concrets comme pour honorer d’une éthique l’invitation faite à un architecte. L’opportunité d’une réflexion sur le patrimoine et plus largement sur le sens d’un parcours, le sien, nous met sur la trace d’une des architectures les plus audacieuses et réjouissantes du monde. Architecte de la continuité, et non de la rupture : onze projets et autres textes publiés dans ce livre en témoignent. « Le diable m’a dit », tel un pacte passé avec lui, est un jeu que s’est inventé l’architecte et qui consiste à disposer de la réalité pour en améliorer les coordonnées. En ôtant virtuellement des éléments gênants, en en déplaçant, en en imaginant d’autres, Eduardo Souto de Moura questionne et vérifie dans une simplicité désarmante l’avènement architectural, sa place, son orientation, son opportunité.
