Résumé:
Bâtiment manifeste, monument historique, icône noire et blanche se détachant sur le ciel de Paris, architecture métallique remarquable, prouesse technologique, résidence universitaire et lieu de culture, la Fondation Avicenne (anciennement Maison de l’Iran) est tout cela. Inscrite dans l’histoire, parfois tumultueuse, de deux pays, et située sur un site riche en architecture, cette œuvre majeure de Claude Parent devait être entièrement réhabilitée afin de revivre aprés son quasi-abandon. De nombreux acteurs, sous la maîtrise d’œuvre de l’agence Béguin & Macchini, récompensée par le trophée Eiffel d’architecture en acier, ont gagné le pari de lui donner une nouvelle pérennité. Ce livre raconte l’aventure de cette renaissance et des défis et surprises d’une réhabilitation fidèle, aussi complexe que réussie.

Résumé:
"Portrait of a house: Conversations with BV Doshi" draws the celebrated architect into conversation with the photo artist Dayanita Singh in an exploration of the kindred alchemy of their creative practices. Beginning when she first photographed him in his famed Kamala House (Dayanita’s ‘favourite temple of light’), named after BV’s wife, the book spans years of their conversations, presented alongside black-and-white portraits of the space filled with family. In a collaborative exchange, BV responds directly to these photographs, revealing hidden motivations behind his architectural innovations. At its core, "Portrait of a house" is an exploration of light, movement, and a home’s capacity to guide its inhabitants, at turns lulling them to sleep or sparking them into animated conversation.

An early ideal for design inspired by place, Can Lis rests on a Mallorcan cliff, nearly concealed by the marés stone from which it was made. Photographs by Simon Watson chart the movement of light along the compound that served as Utzon’s family home for over two decades, his first permanent residence following his work on the Sydney Opera House. A curated selection of archival photographs, sketches, and blueprints mined from Utzon’s private collection guide readers from early plans for Can Lis to the everyday ways the home was inhabited.

Résumé:
Over the last 20 years, Manuel and Isabelle Der Hagopian have lived between Singapore, Vietnam, and Switzerland. The couple have built various dwellings in each location to house their lives and redefine their domesticity as a fundamental need. Each “nest” arises from intimate conversations between them and the spaces, giving birth to meticulously-crafted domains and lovingly-curated interiors echoing the spirit of the local culture. 'NESTS' features six of these dwellings—Seng Poh, TB80, Bi Khi Ni, Thi Sach, Beaumont, and Diablay De—as seen through the lens of Khoo Guo Jie. The photographer’s images of the life and love that imbue these spaces have been curated into booklets that are designed to embody the unique character and materiality of each nest. Together, they weave a voyage across different habitats and offer an introspective journey back home, in all the senses.

Résumé:
Frequently reviled by feminists of our generation, Le Corbusier was in fact one of the few Modernist architects to give serious consideration to the role of women in contemporary society, believing them to be instigators of change and an important force in the advancement of society. Ranging in scope from Le Corbusier’s interest in fashion, housework and sex to a close analysis of the philosophies underlying his architecture, his fascination with Orphism, his artwork and his buildings, this book examines the ramifications of his interest in feminism in all aspects of his life. A disparity between his idealised view of womanhood and the reality of the women he knew and loved is revealed. The book is essential reading for anybody who is interested in the way the relationship between the sexes impacts on architecture, and in the personal and professional life of Le Corbusier. Encompassing much new material – including the Provisional Theatre at La Sainte Baume, designed by Le Corbusier but never before published – it provides a valuable resource for those who remain unconvinced by standard histories of this enigmatic and complex figure.

"When I was thirty, the first generation of architects that one looked upon to was L Corbusier; the second was jean Prouvé and Josép-Luis Sert; next were George Candilis, Shadrach Woods, and Alexis Josic. These were the people you were talking about, and the connection between them were observable. Even though between these generations there wasn't any copying in a stylistic sense, there was a kind of moral overlap. That's the curiosity. There's not a hint stylistically in their work but there is a moral position." -Peter Smithson
