Résumé:
This publication comprehensively documents Meier’s work since 2004. This extensively illustrated presentation vividly conveys the purity and power of Meier’s vision. Thirty residential, commercial, and civic projects are featured, including the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome, the Burda Collection Museum and Arp Museum in Germany, San Jose City Hall, the Broad Art Center at UCLA, apartment towers in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and master plans for Newark, New Jersey, and Manhattan’s East Side. Richard Meier received his architectural training at Cornell University and began his career in the early 1960s designing private residential projects whose elegant modernist style and white facades have become icons of modern architecture. Since that time, his international practice has included museums, courthouses, city halls, corporate headquarters, educational facilities, and public housing, in addition to private houses. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Pritzker Prize for Architecture and the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects.

Résumé:
The latest release in the Forum Pamphlets Series documents the design, fabrication, and installation of Oyler Wu Collaborative's Pendulum Plane, their bold, competition-winning intervention at the L.A. Forum's new gallery in Hollywood. This intricate system of selfbalancing aluminum armatures performs both as reconfigurable vertical wall planes and as a hovering new ceiling that multiplies the spatial and curatorial possibilities of the space. Along with a rich presentation of drawings, models, and photographs that follow the work from its conception through completion, the book features an interview between Dwayne Oyler and Jenny Wu and noted Los Angeles architect Wes Jones, as well as commentaries by Todd Gannon and L.A. Forum president Mohamed Sharif.

Frank Gehry est sans conteste l'un des plus grands architectes contemporains, à qui l'on doit notamment le célèbre musée Guggenheim de Bilbao. C'est pourtant davantage par l'étude des maisons qu'il a conçues, ses projets les plus visionnaires et fondateurs de son oeuvre, que l'on prend toute la mesure de l'importance et de l'originalité de sa démarche.

Résumé:
Frank Gehry est sans conteste l'un des plus grands architectes contemporains, à qui l'on doit notamment le célèbre musée Guggenheim de Bilbao. C'est pourtant davantage par l'étude des maisons qu'il a conçues, ses projets les plus visionnaires et fondateurs de son oeuvre, que l'on prend toute la mesure de l'importance et de l'originalité de sa démarche. Gehry revisite les matières ordinaires telle que la tôle ondulée, le contreplaqué et le grillage, il expérimente la couleur et tord les volumes, distend et écrase le cube, jusqu'à remettre en question les notions établies de géométrie et de structure. Ce sont toutes les étapes de cette réflexion que l'on découvre ici a travers ses recherches sur les maisons, des plus anciennes aux plus récentes, à commencer par sa propre maison à Santa Monica, en Californie.

Résumé:
Throughout his creative career, Turner Prize-winning sculptor Anish Kapoor has worked extensively with architects and engineers, and built a large body of public works that merge sculpture and architecture. Now, in a world designed using CAD programs, Kapoor argues that the next logical step in integrating design with production is to move from virtual models to 3D-printed buildings. In Unconformity and Entropy, a number of finished architectural works are fleshed out with preparatory studies and extracts from the artist's extensive technical research, illustrating his investigation of the fluid and plastic qualities of cement. Central to the project is the conceit of the use of a purpose-built machine to generate forms through which Kapoor would explore the intersection of idea and event. Extensively illustrated with original drawings, sketches and color photographs, and superbly designed, Unconformity and Entropy also includes several illuminating introductory essays.

Résumé:
An ongoing program of temporary structures designed by internationally acclaimed architects, The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion for 2009 was designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, of the leading Japanese architecture practice SANAA. Sejima and Nishizawa created a stunning structure that resembles a reflective cloud or a pool of water, sitting atop a series of delicate columns. The metal roof varies in height, wrapping itself around the trees in the park and sweeping down almost to the ground in some places. Open and ephemeral in structure, its reflective materials allow it to sit seamlessly within the natural environment, reflecting both the park and sky. “It works as a field of activity with no walls,” say Sejima and Nishizawa. This publication documents the conception, construction and life of this impressive temporary structure.

Résumé:
The Herning Museum of Contemporary Art (HEART) in Herning, Denmark, inhabits a new building designed by American architect Steven Holl, who was drawn to the project by the institution's collection of works by the Italian Conceptual artist Piero Manzoni. Holl's complex museum is surrounded by a landscape of hills and ponds that meshes with his structures; the single-story building itself, with its natural light and innovative roof construction, refers to the formal vocabulary of the 1960s factory opposite. In reference to its origins, an overhead view of the museum recalls outstretched shirtsleeves while the façade resembles wrinkled fabric.
