Résumé:
Architect, museum curator, and industrial designer Emilio Ambasz is perhaps most renowned for projects that fuse architecture and landscape—high-rise buildings enveloped in verdant screens of trees and plants, and houses that virtually disappear beneath mounds of earth. It has been said that his work defies easy categorization and analysis, and terms such as poetry, wonder, and myth are often ascribed to his designs. In this penetrating collection of essays, prominent scholars and architects take up the challenge and set about rigorously "analyzing Ambasz."

Résumé:
In 1986 a new Barcelona Pavilion was completed on the site of the original 1929 German Pavilion in Barcelona. That same year marked the 150th anniversary of photography and the centenary of Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). Since then, much has been written about all three, jointly and singly. Whilst the literature on Mies van der Rohe has more than doubled in the past(...)

Résumé:
In 1986 a new Barcelona Pavilion was completed on the site of the original 1929 German Pavilion in Barcelona. That same year marked the 150th anniversary of photography and the centenary of Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). Since then, much has been written about all three, jointly and singly. Whilst the literature on Mies van der Rohe has more than doubled in the past fifteen years, no scholar has yet to seriously study, at any length, the unique phenomenon that was, is and will continue to be the Barcelona Pavilion. "Building desire" focuses on the pavilion's image of an enduring myth of modernity.

This book brings together the most recent buildings and projects by the Mexican architect Alberto Kalach, with particular emphasis on the first steps of the process of each of these. As if it were a sort of log or sketch pad, the book sets out to highlight the essence of his ideas and the immediacy of his first few pencil strokes. Structured typologically, the tour through Kalach's work takes in single-family houses, apartment buildings, various designs for tower blocks and his famous project for the lake city (awarded a prize at the 2002 Venice Biennale), in which he proposes rehydrating the dried up aquiferous areas of Mexico City.

Résumé:
Situated in Chicago's famed Gold Coast, just north of the Magnificent Mile, the Charnley house is one of the finest dwellings in the city and considered worldwide to be a stunning example of avant-garde architecture. Now the headquarters of the Society of Architectural Historians and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998, the house was built in 1892 at a critical moment in urban and architectural history. "The Charnley House" is the first authoritative publication on the building, which has long been discussed in surveys but never before examined in detail. In this collection of original essays, six well-known architectural historians illuminate various aspects of the house, both inside and out, as they consider its remarkable formal and spatial qualities, its historical significance in the development of Chicago's elite residential neighborhood, and its place in the context of American domestic architecture. Equally important, the contributors tackle the knotty, decades-old issue concerning the building's designer. While many have ascribed the scheme to Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan's chief assistant at the time, this book sheds new light on how the house relates significantly to the work of both master and apprentice. The continuing debate over the house's "authorship" highlights the importance of the Charnley house in the history of modern architecture as the seminal work of residential design in the United States. These thoroughly researched interpretations, supplemented by an abundance of never before published illustrations, analyze this house of distinction with the care and detail it deserves. Beautifully restored in late 1980s, the Charnley house now has a book worthy of it.

Vaudremer est assurément le grand oublié de la réhabilitation dont bénéficie depuis trente ans l'architecture du XIXe siècle. Cet ouvrage permet enfin d'éclairer cette figure dont le prestige égalait celui du plus grand architecte de son temps, Charles Garnier. Formé à l'Ecole des beaux-arts au classicisme, proche par sa sensibilité de la réflexion structurelle de Viollet-le-Duc sur le gothique, Vaudremer se distinguera en adoptant un style original qui fait la symbiose de ces deux tendances contradictoires, annonçant, par son dépouillement, l'architecture de la première moitié du XXe siècle, d'Otto Wagner à Auguste Perret.

Résumé:
The Scottish architect, designer and painter Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928) was one of the early pioneers of modern architecture and design. His multifaceted œuvre is an important link between the movement towards artistic reform in Britain and continental Modernism. Mackintosh’s avant-garde designs for the Glasgow school of art, the legendary Willow tea rooms or the Hill house in Helensburgh are a blend of functional simplicity and poetic decorative details. The result is a cool elegance which combines "mysticism and aestheticism with a strong touch of lilac ... and a gentle sensuality". In addition to his architectural works, this book focuses on Mackintosh’s famous interiors and also on his often neglected textile designs and watercolours.

Résumé:
Paul Tournon (1881-1964) a été un protagoniste de l’architecture française du XXe siècle. Il a réalisé des pavillons d’exposition, des groupes scolaires ou hospitaliers, des immeubles d’habitation, des usines, des banques, des monastères ainsi que de nombreuses églises importantes à Paris et dans les colonies (Saint-Esprit à Paris, l’église de Villemomble, celle d’Elisabethville, la cathédrale de Casablanca, etc.). Toutefois, malgré les projets prestigieux et considérables qui lui ont été confiés, Tournon suit le destin plus général de l’architecture traditionaliste à laquelle il appartient : son nom est, effectivement, presqu’inconnu et son œuvre est pratiquement absente des grandes synthèses historiographiques de l’architecture contemporaine. Cette étude se propose de rendre une place adéquate au personnage de Paul Tournon au sein d’un cadre interprétatif exempt de tout prévention idéologique mais tenant compte des catégories idéales d’art et de valeur auxquelles Tournon était lui-même attentif. Moderniste " sage ", prudent et mesuré, guidé par une foi religieuse profonde, Paul Tournon incarne parfaitement esprit de son temps comme cas emblématique de l’union entre les valeurs de la tradition et l’acceptation des ressources offertes par la modernité qui caractérise une bonne part de la culture architecturale traditionaliste.
