Résumé:
Dutch architect, architectural theorist and urban thinker Rem Koolhaas (born 1944) has been a protagonist of the international architectural avant-garde since the 1970s; his numerous worldwide awards include the Pritzker Prize in 2000 for his lifetime achievement. Through a series of essays, this book interprets his many buildings and projects by drawing on Koolhaas’ own theoretical oeuvre of polemics, manifestos, interviews, books such as Delirious New York and his so-called “design patents.” In these writings, Koolhaas articulates a design method that links theory and practice, whereby an idea is applied to several projects over a period of time, so that it can continuously evolve. This book not only orients this method within architectural history, but also shows how it repositions the function of the authors or the architects themselves.

Les projets de l’agence Luc Weizmann Architecte traversent les échelles de l’espace, dans cette pensée que toutes les dimensions du territoire participent d’une réalité unique, inscrite dans des temporalités multiples. Par une organisation fonctionnelle, par un dessin rigoureux conciliant l’effet de masse et la subtilité des finitions, par l’intégration d’œuvres d’art, bref, par une maîtrise qui interdit le résumé, les architectures de l’agence Luc Weizmann Architecte révèlent une dimension plastique inattendue. Loin de tout formalisme, dans cette vérité que la fonction oblige, des ouvrages-sculptures, des usines-paysages, des ouvrages d’art, affirment leur force culturelle et leur présence poétique.

Résumé:
Architecture is a strange mixture of persistence and flux, an amalgamation of elements - some that have been around for over 5,000 years and others that were (re)invented yesterday. The fact that these elements change independently of each other, according to different cycles and economies, and for different reasons, turns each building into a complex collage of the archaic and the current, the site-specific and the standard, mechanical smoothness and the spontaneous. Only by looking at the elements under a wide lens can we recognize the cultural preferences, forgotten symbolism, technological advances, mutations triggered by intensifying global exchange, climatic adaptions, political calculations, regulatory requirements, new digital regimes, and, somewhere in the mix - the ideas of the architect that constitute the practice of architecture today. A collection of these essential elements into 15 books in a package launched at the 2014 Venice Biennale that allows us to look through a microscope at the real fundamentals of our buildings and see again the essential design techniques used by any architect, anywhere, anytime.

The buildings of Spanish architect Josep Ferrando distinguish themselves through the reduction of the principal materials used. The selected materiality and the sensitive use of lighting open up subtle spatial connections that are made visible and perceptible through the dialogue between “Matter and Light”.
