Résumé:
"Capsules" investigates the architectural, product design, and urban typology of the capsule which, beginning in the 1960s, broadened the concept of the basic building blocks of architecture to include a minimal living unit, called the "capsule." Here it is presented with regard to the continuity of the development of the Modern Movement, its revisionist criticism, pioneering examples, as well as contemporary examples and uses. The typology of the capsule allows us to consider this theme in terms of the architecture of resistance, with the potential to search for an "other" architecture that is embedded in our contemporaneity.

Résumé:
En 1956, face à la question cruciale du logement pour les plus démunis, Jean Prouvé propose, en réponse à l'appel de l'abbé Pierre lancé deux ans auparavant, sa Maison des jours meilleurs, Cet habitat temporaire - composé de 3 pièces, cuisine et sanitaires - est construit à base d'éléments usinés en amont. Malheureusement, le projet restera à l'état de prototype. En posant comme sujet de sa sixième édition "Concevoir une unité d'habitation temporaire, écopensée et économe", le concours Mini Maousse s'inscrit à cet endroit précis où se croisent, d'une part, la conscience d'une grave crise sociale et humanitaire et, d'autre part, une problématique très stimulante pour les futurs concepteurs, pour faire renaître la nouvelle Maison des jours meilleurs.

Where can we find ideas for the houses and cities of the future? During the 1960s and 1970s, visionary architecture in Europe began to raise these fundamental questions about the homes we inhabit.

Résumé:
How do we want to inhabit the spaces we live in? How can we build homes that match our ideals and meet the demands of a changing world? Where can we find ideas for the houses and cities of the future? During the 1960s and 1970s, visionary architecture in Europe began to raise these fundamental questions about the homes we inhabit. Journalist Niklas Maak has visited the buildings of this era—many of which are now in ruins—and curates here an “archaeology of the utopian,” founding ideas for future architectures in the buildings of the past. Featuring works by Antti Lovag, Yona Friedman, Claude Parent, Dante Bini, Cini Boeri, Hans-Walter Müller, Renée Gailhoustet, and Jean Renaudie, all impressively photographed by Johanna Diehl, this intelligent new volume explores inspiring revolutionary forms of living through the utopian architectures of the past.

Résumé:
Sphères, géoramas, observatoires …. Comment les architectes ont participé, aux côtés des géographes, astronomes, mathématiciens, artistes à la découverte du globe terrestre et du cosmos, ainsi qu’à leur représentation. Et comment, en retour, cette découverte majeure a hanté et hante toujours l’architecture, de Boulée et Ledoux à James Turrell et Rem Koolhaas en passant par Bonnier, Mucha, Buckminster Fuller… L’ouvrage repose sur 90 projets architecturaux du IIe siècle avant notre ère au XXIe siècle et pas moins de 500 illustrations, dessins, photos et documents présentent ces projets spectaculaires, oscillant entre défi architectural et rêve utopique. Afin d’expliquer comment l’architecte, devient l’acteur et le porteur de l’aspiration universelle de la découverte du monde, 12 thématiques sont approfondies par 12 spécialistes, historiens, architectes, sociologues ou philosophes s’appuyant sur l’anthropologie, les mathématiques ou la science-fiction.

Résumé:
Nightclubs and discothèques are hotbeds of contemporary culture. Since the 20th century, they have been centers of the avant-garde that question the established codes of social life and experiment with different realities, merging interior and furniture design, graphics and art with sound, light, fashion and special effects to create a modern Gesamtkunstwerk. "Night Fever: Designing Club Culture 1960-Today" is the first book to examine the design history of the nightclub, with examples ranging from the Italian clubs of the 1960s created by members of the Radical Design group and the legendary Studio 54 where Andy Warhol was a regular; to the Palladium in New York designed by Arata Isozaki and the more recent concepts by architecture firm OMA for a new Ministry of Sound in London. Featuring film stills and vintage photographs, posters, flyers and fashion, "Night Fever" takes the reader on a fascinating journey through a world of glamour, subculture and the search for the night that never ends.

Résumé:
Invisible strings bind two countries as di- verse and as far away as Italy and Japan. Those strings are made of creativity, innovation, respect and sometimes criticism of history and tradition. One of these invisible strings is represented by architecture. Both countries have been able to be at the center of great revolutions and at the same time decided to ignore this capacity to create and innovate. 150 years have passed since the two countries started their relationships and just more than 50 since they were among the leaders of what has been the last global avant-garde movement in architecture with the Japanese Metabolists and the Italian Radicals. 50 years ago the two countries were in full demographic, economic and cultural expansion, and those avant-gardes well-represented the vibrant seeds of their architectural proposals. In a curious parallel, 50 years after Italy and Japan live similar cultural and economic conditions and a new generation of architects deals with the timeless themes of living and design.

Résumé:
"57 Pavilions" is a 21st century manual documenting architectural design research at PennDesign examining new potentials for part to whole assemblies where experiments in material expression, morphology, performance and culture fuse with advanced digital design processes and fabrication to produce full-scale architectural consequences. Through the presentation of 54 half-scale pavilion projects and three full-scale pavilions a novel approach is laid out for generating higher ordered physical assemblies. The formations produce a new role of parts, material processes, and aggregations yielding a more autonomous character as discrete objects in a larger assembly. As the pavilion research moves into the world in full-scale installations, these new part to whole relationships provoke unexpected engagement with occupants, the environment, and the larger cultural context.
