Fernand Pouillon (1912-1986) est assurément la figure la plus romanesque du XXe siècle. Les fastes de sa vie privée et ses démêlés judiciaires ont défrayé la chronique. Ils ont aussi motivé l'écriture de deux ouvrages cultes, Les Pierres sauvages (1964) et Mémoires d'un architecte (1968), qui révèlent un remarquable conteur.

Résumé:
Fernand Pouillon (1912-1986) est assurément la figure la plus romanesque du XXe siècle. Les fastes de sa vie privée et ses démêlés judiciaires ont défrayé la chronique. Ils ont aussi motivé l'écriture de deux ouvrages cultes, Les Pierres sauvages (1964) et Mémoires d'un architecte (1968), qui révèlent un remarquable conteur. L'oeuvre bâtie, elle, est exceptionnelle par son ampleur, ses qualités de composition et de construction. Mis au ban de sa profession pour avoir osé défier l'industrie du béton armé, Fernand Pouillon a démontré, en Provence d'abord, puis en Algérie, dans la région parisienne et en Iran, la compatibilité de la construction en pierre de taille et du logement de masse. La reconstruction du Vieux-Port de Marseille, la résidence Climat de France à Alger, celles du Point-du-Jour à Boulogne-Billancourt et du Parc à Meudon constituent aujourd'hui des repères importants dans l'histoire de l'habitat. Cet ouvrage propose un regard nouveau sur l'architecte et présente des projets, ignorés ou méconnus : maisons industrialisées, plan d'urbanisme de Créteil et projet d'extension de Saint-Tropez... Il apporte quantité d'éléments inédits sur l'oeuvre, qui se révèle plus que jamais d'une extraordinaire riche et d'une étonnante diversité.

Résumé:
This large-format monograph on the famed Japanese architect covers six years of theory and practice through an exhaustive look at over 60 projects, from large (V at Dundee, Sanlitum SOHO in Beijing) to small (Sake no Hana in London, Lake House). Kengo Kuma is known for achieving a new kind of transparency in architecture, and is not bound by using only traditional light materials. Included is his essay, Small Architecture, which gives valuable insight into his view that great disasters, not the progress of technology, have been architectures driving force throughout history, with the most recent example being the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.

Résumé:
This large-format monograph gives an in-depth account of the history, transformation and revitalisation of a 1960s-era residential tower in northern Paris, as seen through the eyes of the French office of Druot, Lacaton & Vassal. It details the architects’ rationales and perspectives regarding recycling architecture in an economic and cost-effective manner, which is ultimately more rewarding than demolishing and rebuilding. With numerous full-colour photographs of both interiors and exteriors, plus drawings, plans, and comparisons of the old and new towers, the book serves as a manifesto to the ideals of reuse and its benefits for architecture and urbanism today.

Résumé:
Barry Byrne (1883-1967) was one of the first significant apprentices of Frank Lloyd Wright, studying in Wright's Oak Park studio from 1902 t0 1908. He followed Wright's principles, but forged an individual style more reminiscent of Louis Sullivan and Irving Gill, with taut planar skins enveloping modern space plans. From 1914 to 1917 he was the American partner of Walter Burley Griffin. In 1922 he designed the first modern Catholic church, St. Thomas Apostle in Chicago, and concentrated on Catholic churches and schools for much of his career. This book charts the entire length of Byrne's work, highlighting its qualities while discussing the cultural conditions that kept it in the shadows of his more famous contemporaries.

Résumé:
Edward Dimendberg offers the first comprehensive treatment of one of the most imaginative contemporary design studios. Since founding their practice in 1979, Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio have integrated architecture, urban design, media art, and the performing arts through performances, art installations, and books, in addition to buildings and public spaces. At the center of this work is a fascination with vision and a commitment to questioning the certainty and security long associated with architecture. Dimendberg provides an extensive overview of these concerns, how the partners question the nature of space and vision in contemporary culture, and produce work that is endlessly surprising and rewarding, from New York’s High Line to Blur, an artificial cloud, and Facsimile, a video screen that moves around a building facade.

Résumé:
The workshop of Studio Mumbai, headed by Bijoy Jain, consists of open air spaces in a rustic setting surrounded by trees. There, a variety of skilled craftsmen, architects and engineers collaborate in the same space, engaging in, exercising and practicing architecture in a manner that aspires to transcend its own physicality. In this way, the process and act of communication has come to characterise the studio, its creative process and its output. An intimate look at the workings, outlook and inspiration of the practice is given, which includes the story of its background and setting, along with an interview with Jain and detailed profiles of significant projects in India: Tara House, Leti 360 Resort, House on Pali Hill and the Copper House, to name a few.
