L’architecte Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) est mêlé à l’édification d’un monument en 1454; c’est après cette date qu’il laisse dans l’histoire de l’architecture une marque profonde qui lui vaut sa réputation universelle, concevant plusieurs édifices qui vont ouvrir des voies radicalement nouvelles à cet art.

Mais de l’âge de vingt ans, à l’âge de cinquante ans (et au-delà), les résultats prodigieux qu’il réussit à atteindre en particulier comme écrivain, en latin et en italien, comme philosophe ou comme ingénieur - et que ce livre se fixe aussi comme objectif d’illustrer - ne peuvent que surprendre et fasciner. Sa devise était d’ailleurs Quid tum et son symbole un œil ailé, signes de cette volonté d’aller toujours de l’avant, de ne jamais répéter ce que les autres ont fait ou de ne jamais se répéter lui-même. Son jeune contemporain Landino parlera plus tard de lui comme d’un caméléon, qui s’adapte sans cesse à de nouveaux domaines au point que son esprit polymorphe est impossible à classer. Ce qui fait de lui, sans conteste, le génie le plus universel du XVe siècle.

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.

A veritable catalogue of ideas—from the use of colour to experimentation with form and materials—Simmons Hall is an essay in architectural imagination by one of the profession's most celebrated practitioners. This detailed monograph will allow readers to deconstruct this complex marvel of modern design and construction. Steven Holl Architects/Simmons Hall is documented with sketches, models, renderings, working drawings, and photographs at a level of detail that allow complete and careful study of the project. Commentary by the architect and design critics explores both the technical aspects and cultural contexts of the building.

Through a series of competitions, speculative commissions, and built work, FOA's first monograph is structured to reflect the development of their specific attitude and as a compendium of the technical arsenal that they use to within their practice. With the spirit of scientific classification, the genesis of an architectural project is identified within a series of phylum, actualized and simultaneously virtualized, in their specific application to the unique conditions of a project's location. Phylogenesis also includes a collection of texts from several critics who investigate related topics that touch upon different aspects of FOA's discourse.

Résumé:
In France no less than in Britain, the late 1960s saw a rebellion against the relentless anonymity of modernist planning. In the search for alternatives, Jean Renaudie showed an originality and a daring unrivalled up to this day. Conceived along structuralist principles, informed by research in molecular biology, his urban projects overturned the logic of the vast housing estates that were being steamrolled across France by the State. In the place of uniform tower blocks, he designed developments in which every dwelling was unique. Diversity – the spanner in the works of mass production – was for him a moral obligation. No concession was made in the name of type, be it human or architectural. ‘The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.’ Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
