Résumé:
This book examines forty projects representing the exemplary work of the internationally renowned architecture firm KSP Engel and Zimmermann. In the course of the past several years, KSP Engel and Zimmermann has become one of the most successful architecture firms in Germany. The firm now has offices in Berlin, Braunschweig, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Munich. Its projects include office buildings, hospitals, schools, libraries, sports facilities and residential architecture. KSP Engel and Zimmermann's rich architectural language covers a broad spectrum-from sensitive intervention in existing structures to striking high-rise buildings. This book features an interview in which the two architects clarify their approach to architecture, their curiosity about building abroad, and their recent success. Essays by Peter Davey, editor-in-chief of Architectural Review, and Ingeborg Flagge, director of the Deutsches Architektur Museum, provide a portrait of these self-assured yet open-minded and highly pragmatic architects. The book illustrates the firm's architectural and planning competence in a presentation of forty different projects, including the Federal Press Office in Berlin, the Trade Fair Forum in Frankfurt, Volkswagen Hall in Braunschweig, the Bertelsmann Foundation building in Gütersloh, and a number of high-rise projects in Frankfurt.

Résumé:
Over 20 years ago, architect Renzo Piano established his firm and dubbed it the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW)--a name that recalls the art studios of the Renaissance, where the master artist worked closely and actively with his apprentices. Students have always been an active component of the Building Workshop, functioning in a team with experienced architects and other experts, contributing to an international array of projects from two studio bases: one in Paris and one in Genoa, Italy. This small, intimate publication presents essays on both the Building Workshop and Piano himself, together with photographs of the two studios and of completed RPBW structures.

Résumé:
In the Aoyama district of Tokyo, a mixed-use neighborhood of low-rise buildings where not a square meter of land has been left unoccupied, the Swiss architecture team of Herzog & de Meuron has built a new store for Prada. In this chunky, silvery book, they meticulously illustrate the creative process that led to the realization of "a house and a plaza," a tall and narrow kaleidoscope-like structure that houses a two-story retail space and multiple levels of offices, backed by an outdoor space for the public--a rarity in crowded Tokyo. The finished structure, encased in a visually porous shell or skin, is as decorative as it is architectural--or as architectural as it is decorative--and is both metaphorically and literally linked to its surrounding environment, and to the idea of the garment. Here is the story of a theoretically and structurally complex building told lovingly and simply by its architects, through words, models, sketches, photographs, and architectural renderings.

Résumé:
La vie d’Henry Espérandieu est remarquable à bien des titres. Il naît à Nîmes, en 1829, dans une famille pauvre, et fonde sa vocation d’architecte sur l’effervescence architecturale de sa ville. Soutenu et encouragé par Charles Questel, il fait ses études à Paris à l’école des Beaux-Arts et dans l’atelier de Léon Vaudoyer, collectionnant les diplômes et les récompenses. Grâce à l’appui de ses maîtres, en dépit de son jeune âge et de sa confession protestante, il est nommé inspecteur des travaux de la cathédrale de la Major à Marseille et son projet de sanctuaire pour Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde est sélectionné par l’évêque de Marseille, Mgr de Mazenod. Dès lors, il va vivre à Marseille, menant de front les chantiers de la cathédrale et du sanctuaire. Il sera chargé de concevoir et réaliser, entre autres, la colonne de l’Immaculée Conception, le palais Longchamp, l’école des Beaux-Arts-bibliothèque de la ville de Marseille. Nommé architecte de la ville, il projette ou construit des églises de quartier et intervient sur de nombreux bâtiments civils ou religieux, dont le palais du Pharo. Il meurt prématurément à l’âge de quarante-quatre ans sans connaître l’achèvement de tous ses chantiers, mais laissant derrière lui une œuvre cohérente et novatrice, toujours en harmonie avec le lieu d’édification, porteuse de sens, marquée par la simplicité du style néo-roman et la richesse de la décoration et de l’ornementation.
