Résumé:
The eponymous catalogue for an exhibition by Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler in collaboration with systems engineer Raffaello D'Andrea, shown at the Frac Centre in Orléans. The book presents a fascinating exploration of their perspectives and multidisciplinary interests, ranging from computational design and robots to material innovation, plus research on architecture, system design and autonomous robotic technologies. Through detailed diagrams and texts, it gives insight into the exhibitions realisation in which an architectural installation was constructed by flying robots and reveals radical new ways of both thinking about and materialising architecture.

Résumé:
Something Fantastic is about architecture. It is about the future. It is about the environment, energy and politics. It is about beautiful things. It is about being naïve enough to ask the right questions. It isn’t about being hip or calculated, or about posturing.

Résumé:
Something Fantastic is about architecture. It is about the future. It is about the environment, energy and politics. It is about beautiful things. It is about being naïve enough to ask the right questions. It isn’t about being hip or calculated, or about posturing. Three young architects, Elena Schuetz, Julian Schubert, and Leonard Streich, lay out a manifesto for increased consciousness in thought and action. Plans and proposals for architecture ranging from the built to the utopian engage this spatial inquiry into the possibilities in the real world.

Résumé:
Le Plan-Obus, avec son viaduc habitable parcourant librement l’admirable site d’Alger la Blanche, a été qualifié par l’historien Italie Manfedo Tafuri d’”hypothèse théorique la plus achevée de l’urbanisme moderne”. Ici en effet, Le Corbusier livre une de ses contributions les plus radicales et les plus intrigante, avec une Projet -Obus qui n’a cessé dévoiler pendant la décennie des années 1930, sans réussir à s’imposer. La succession des variantes témoigne d’une volonté de penser simultanément l’héritage et le devenir : la Casbah et la ville coloniale avoisinante l’immeuble viaduc surmonté de son autoroute et le gratte ciel du nouveau centre.
