Pendant près d’une vingtaine d’années, les projets se multiplient dans l’agglomération lyonnaise avant que le choix de la localisation de la nouvelle École d’architecture ne se porte sur Vaulx-en-Velin, dans le cadre d’un rapprochement avec l’École nationale des travaux publics de l’État, construite en 1976, matérialisant sa longue complicité avec les grandes écoles publiques d’ingénieurs et qui marque le début d’une structuration des campus de ce qui deviendra l’Université de Lyon.

Résumé:
This book is a monument to modern urban construction in Naples. It features some fifty new photos by French photographer Cyrille Weiner as well as historic images and drawings of important architectonic details, and an atlas of eighteen significant buildings dating from 1930–1960 illustrated with site and floor plans, elevations, and sections. It reveals how this southern Italian metropolis developed its own form of modernism, one that combined Mediterranean culture with local materials and a strong internationalist spirit. The topical essays and concise descriptions of the documented buildings, together with the lavish illustrations make for a hugely attractive and lively portrait of Naples. This fascinating city is both famous and infamous—but its qualities and individuality in terms of architecture and urban development really should be better known.

Résumé:
Similar to the rest of the world, holidays and leisure spaces emerged as a trend in Estonia in the early 20th century. During the Soviet era, holiday-making became a universal right, and the state promoted its development in various forms. This book offers a first overview of the rich legacy of Estonian holiday and summer cottage architecture. While focusing on the most common building types which helped make holidays available to a large part of the population, the book also explores the meaning of leisure time in the late Soviet society. A fascinating look at how the boundaries between public and private space, austerity and material well-being, were closely interwoven.

Résumé:
In 1987, Berlin celebrated its 750th anniversary on both sides of the wall that partitioned the city. In their efforts to recognize this milestone despite the literal division of their country, architects in East and West Berlin constructed a variety of notable buildings as they explored concepts of urban repair and postmodernist design. Today, these buildings have been modified, threatened with demolition, or disappeared completely, but their legacy as witnesses to a new era of design remains, and is surveyed in this publication.

Résumé:
In a way, "Everything" picks up where "Architecture without content" left off. After thirty-three iterations of the big box and architecture of the perimeter, it was time to look elsewhere. These reports focus on European Architecture both in the city and the noncity. Embracing Alighiero Boetti's accumulation of every existing Form in his seminal Tutto tapestry works in the 1980s, we tried to be both omnivorous and precise in our approach towards every single form to be found on the landscape. This heterogeneous collection includes projects by Raphael, Nouvel, Bofill and Mendrisio Accademia di Architettura students alike. Ultimately, our aim is to accumulate cultural displays without prejudice, in the belief that the only way to safeguard culture, and by extension architecture, is simply by producing it.

Résumé:
In 2015, the storied fashion house Fendi moved its headquarters into the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome, a stark white cube perforated by symmetrical arches. Originally commissioned as part of an exhibition on Roman civilization for the 1942 world’s fair, the architects took their cues from ancient history to create a building that was quintessentially Roman yet decidedly modern, earning its nickname “the Square Colosseum.” Because of its striking appearance and iconic status, the palazzo subsequently made appearances in a number of films by directors such as Roberto Rossellini, Federico Fellini, and Peter Greenaway. The building remained relatively abandoned throughout much of its existence, until its recent inhabitance by the always forward-thinking house of Fendi, an experience which Karl Lagerfeld has likened to being “on a spaceship transported into the future.” Featuring photographs by famous artists such as Gabriele Basilico, Franco Fontana, and Lagerfeld, this gorgeously illustrated volume takes the reader on a fascinating tour through art, architecture, culture, and history.
