Résumé:
"Small Houses in Finland" presents a selection of the best single-family houses in Finland from the last twenty-five years. Each of the 29 houses presented shows a different approach to the design of a small house, from the site placement to the plan layout, facades, massing, and use of materials, all the way to the handling of the construction details. All the houses were individually designed for single families, and are situated in different environments, from the countryside to the city and from the seashore inland. The houses in this collection have been selected by architect Esa Piironen, who himself has designed a number of small houses. Characteristic of his approach has been a commitment to environmentally friendly and humane architecture.

Résumé:
Parmi les courants et mouvements - divers et contradictoires - nés dans l'entre-deux-guerres, le modernisme a rêvé de changer la vie en métamorphosant l'architecture alors que l'Art Déco a exprimé la modernité d'une bourgeoisie entreprenante et libérée des préjugés moraux d'avant-guerre. Ces courants et mouvements vont connaître, au cours même du siècle qui les a vu naître, de nombreuses réactualisations. Libérés de leur ancrage historique et social, ils vont tour à tour nourrir la pensée architecturale et s'introduire dans la polémique et le débat sur la ville et son urbanisation. Qu'il s'agisse de maisons particulières, d'immeubles à appartements ou de bureaux, de cités-jardins ou sociales, de bâtiments publics ou industriels, d'églises ou encore de lieux de divertissement ou d'aménagements paysagers, Bruxelles conserve de nombreux témoignages architecturaux illustrant l'Art Déco et le modernisme. L'Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de Paris, en 1925, joua un rôle crucial pour les arts décoratifs belges. Elle constitua une impulsion créative pour certains commerces bruxellois qui se profilèrent alors en ensembliers. Les Expositions universelles de 1935 et 1958 ont, elles aussi, exercé une influence urbanistique considérable sur la capitale, générant d'importants travaux d'infrastructure et un programme de construction de grande envergure, dans l'ensemble de la région.

Résumé:
Chicago is quintessential apartment dweller’s city. Landmark apartment houses designed by renowned architects and decorators, past and present - Howard Van Doren Shaw, Benjamin Marshall, David Adler, Mies van der Rohe, SOM, Tigerman McCurry, Vinci Hamp, and Lucien Lagrange - have afforded dramatic views and fabled luxury to apartment residents. "Chicago Apartments: A Century of Lakefront Luxury" presents a unique history of the nearly 100 elevator structures whose amenities, unusual interior spaces, architectural features, and distinctive innovations define the history of Chicago apartment design. Chicago historian Neil Harris traces essential themes in the development of the city and its apartment culture, profiling each apartment building with new research, floor plans, and never published archival duotone photographs of famed buildings dating from 1883 to 2004, including 500 North Lake Shore Drive, 209 East Lake Shore Drive, 1301 North Astor, Marina Towers, and the Hancock. The preface by Sara Paretsky, whose celebrated detective V. I. Warshawki is an astute observer of Chicago’s built landscape and its inhabitants, offers a literary voice to this first-time study of the architectural and cultural history of these buildings.

The essence of architectural photography is to catch the soul of a building, its image, material surface, colours and beauty, without anything being said or written. Jussi Tiainen takes photographs in a manner such that the building speaks for its own character, mostly without people or any form of decoration in the picture which could mis-focus or blur the accuracy of(...)

Résumé:
The essence of architectural photography is to catch the soul of a building, its image, material surface, colours and beauty, without anything being said or written. Jussi Tiainen takes photographs in a manner such that the building speaks for its own character, mostly without people or any form of decoration in the picture which could mis-focus or blur the accuracy of the photogenic architectural timelessness. This book is a photographic statement about the city of Helsinki with its contemporary high-quality architecture built at the turn of the Millennium. All the featured buildings were built and photographed between 1998 and 2001.

Résumé:
"Living in the Lowlands" offers a kaleidoscopic overview of one of the most important themes in Dutch architecural history: living and the home environment. Specific periods are addressed on the basis of selected projects, among wich: Amsterdam's Vondelstraat by P.J.H. Cuijpers, Plan Zuid by Berlage, Rotterdam's Pendrecht and Alexanderpolder neighbourhoods, Almere and Ypenburg. Utopian designs by the architects H.T. Wijdeveld, Cornelis van Eesteren and OMA are also included. Fifteen 'domestic scenes' illustrate important points in the history of housing construction in the Netherlands since 1850. Each 'domestic landscape'is described by a different author in a brief and sometimes highly personal text, illustrated with visual documentation from the collection of the Netherlands Architecture Institute. "Living in the Lowlands" accompanies the new permanent exhibition in the Netherlands Architecture Institute, Rotterdam.

Résumé:
There is no other period in the history of the Netherlands which excites such emotion, resistance or aversion as the period between 1970 and 1980. There are also varying opinions about architecture in the 1970s. Architecture at that time headed off in pursuit of new definitions and forms. Though a number of architectural movements were driven by a devoted social engagement and a profound belief in architecture as a means of moulding society, there was such a varied choice that it did not generate a single and unanimous alternative, resulting instead in polarization and pluriformity. This volume focuses on architecture, urban planning and spatial planning in the period 1968 - 1982. Remarkable and specific projects from this period are discussed and extensively documented on the basis of six themes. An introductory essay considers the context in which the architecture and urban planning changed so radically during this period. So far there has been little research into the architecture and planning of the 1970s in the Netherlands, even though it is a period when changes took on a definitive form. With the imminent demolition and renovation of much of the infrastructure and architecture of the 1970s, this book is a document that bears witness to the importance of this period for architecture in the Netherlands.
