Résumé:
The standing of the Yale Center for British Art as one of the world's great museums and study centers finds expression in its remarkable building, designed by Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974). In this important and innovative volume, two architects offer a plan to ensure the proper stewardship of the building in order to preserve its essence as a great architectural structure. Peter Inskip and Stephen Gee describe the design, construction, and subsequent renovation of the building; assess its cultural significance; analyze the materials that comprise it (steel, concrete, glass, white oak, and travertine); and shed light on its evolution over the four decades since it was built. Drawing on their extensive experience developing conservation plans for both historic sites and modern buildings, they propse a series of policies for the Center's conservation into the future.

Résumé:
This book is the first to tell the full and true story of Le Corbusier’s adventure in automobile design. Le Corbusier (with Pierre Jeanneret) entered an automobile design competition, submitting plans for "a minimalist vehicle for maximum functionality," the Voiture Minimum. Despite Le Corbusier’s energetic promotion of his design to several important automakers, the Voiture Minimum was never mass-produced. Architect Antonio Amado describes the project in detail, linking it to Le Corbusier’s architectural work, to Modernist utopian urban visions, and to the automobile design projects of other architects including Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright.

This account recuperates the lost history of the emergence of the Team 10 from CIAM in the period between 1947 and 1959, how it was represented in the early 1960s, and echoed in one way or another ever since. Telling the story of the early Team 10 thinking shifts the importance of the group from its better known projects of the 1960s and 70s to the theoretically vigorous period of the 1940s and 50s. This “other” story of the debates about the future of town planning reveals the ruptures and continuities between the CIAM generations and Team 10 members themselves, and reveals a more extensive critique of developing modern architecture at mid-century than has hitherto been recognized.
