The city of Barcelona as constructed over the last 150 years on the strength of Ildefons Cerdà’s 1859 ‘Project for the Reform and Expansion’ bears living witness to the modernity of a way of thinking and making the city.The book intentionally focuses on the Eixample as a whole - what we know as the Cerdà Eixample - instead of confining itself to the more central Eixample traditionally associated with Modernista architecture.

Résumé:
The third volume in the esteemed Nordic Architects series focuses on the global impact of urbanization and the escalating climate crisis. Architects all over the world face the challenge of creating buildings and cities that are sustainable and inclusive.

Résumé:
For hundreds of years, the shorefront of Manhattan Island served as the country’s center of trade, shipping, and commerce. With its maritime links across the oceans, along the Atlantic coast, and inland to the Midwest and New England, Manhattan became a global city and home to the world’s busiest port. It was a world of docks, ships, tugboats, and ferries, filled with cargo and freight, a place where millions of immigrants entered the Promised Land. In "Waterfront Manhattan", Kurt C. Schlichting tells the story of the Manhattan waterfront as a struggle between public and private control of New York’s priceless asset. Nature provided New York with a sheltered harbor but presented the city with a challenge: to find the necessary capital to build and expand the maritime infrastructure.

Résumé:
Squeezed between the two rival Cold War blocs, Yugoslav architecture consistently adhered to a modernist trajectory. As a founding nation of the Non-Aligned Movement, Yugoslavia became a major exporter of modernist architecture to Africa and the Middle East in a postcolonial world. By merging a variety of local traditions and contemporary international influences in the context of a unique Yugoslav brand of socialism, often described as the “Third Way,” local architects produced a veritable “parallel universe” of modern architecture during the 45 years of the country’s existence. This remarkable body of work has sparked recurrent international interest, yet a rigorous interpretative study never materialized in the United States until now.

Résumé:
Les écoles d’architecture dans leur valeur manifeste comme des lieux d’expérimentation pédagogique et des emblèmes de la création architecturale . Dans ces bâtiments où l’architecture s’enseigne et s’apprend, les multiples enjeux de la création architecturale se donnent à lire, à voir, à comprendre. Le fort investissement symbolique dont les écoles d’architecture font l’objet, tant de la part de l’État, initiateur de leur construction, que de leurs concepteurs et usagers, les hisse au rang de modèles ou de manifestes architecturaux. Leur histoire rejoint celle de l’architecture de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.
