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:
Alors que la transformation prochaine du boulevard périphérique s’impose pour l’adapter aux attentes des habitants, aux enjeux climatiques et à l’évolution des mobilités, le Pavillon de l’Arsenal réédite dans une version revue et augmentée l’ouvrage manifeste, 'Des fortifs au périf', publié pour la première fois en 1991. De l’embastillement de Paris en 1832 à l’inauguration du boulevard en 1973, de la transformation des portes en places aux dernières architectures, cette nouvelle édition, intégralement remise en forme, ajoute aux analyses devenues elles-mêmes historiques une synthèse sur l’actualité des trois dernières décennies et un regard sur le destin de ce territoire au centre de la métropole. Construite sous la monarchie de Juillet, la dernière enceinte de Paris reste aujourd’hui gravée dans le paysage, sous la forme de deux anneaux toujours stratégiques. L’ouvrage 'Des Fortifs au périf' dresse le portrait renouvelé d’un siècle et demi de transformations urbaines. Ce territoire a une géographie, il a aussi une histoire singulière, reflet de l’évolution des pensées urbaines et architecturales de leur temps. Jean-Louis Cohen et André Lortie cartographient cette chronologie. Leur analyse, issue de recherches menées entre 1986 et 1990, est actualisée dans cette nouvelle édition.

Résumé:
The typology of the townhouse originated in the late 19th century yet still represents a viable and attractive alternative to the detached single-family home. Several apartments spread across up to five floors are connected by a common staircase. In terms of urban planning, this type of structure makes it possible to reconcile dense urban settlement with open green spaces. Specially commissioned photographs and plan drawings of eight exemplary Lausanne townhouses illustrate texts written by international authors, who unfold the theme in its worldwide relevance.

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:
Made from prefabricated concrete panels, Plattenbauten rose from the ruins of Berlin, providing a quick and inexpensive solution to the severe housing shortage faced by the city after World War II. Although criticized in their day for their sterility and impersonal scale, they nonetheless became an integral part of the city. Drawn from his extensive investigations into Berlin’s urban landscape, Jesse Simon’s texts and photographs offer a convincing argument for the aesthetic and social value of buildings that were once described as “eyesores.”

Résumé:
S’interroger sur la construction dans l’architecture suisse, c’est s’intéresser aux liens indissociables entre les questions constructives et leurs implications spatiales, esthétiques et culturelles. C’est plus largement considérer la pensée des architectes, la manière dont ils conçoivent – dans tous les sens du terme – leurs édifices. C’est donc d’une part chercher à comprendre leur démarche de travail et les outils et théories qu’ils mobilisent au cours du processus de projection, mais c’est aussi, d’autre part, essayer de saisir, pour chacun d’eux, le sens qu’ils donnent au bâtir, la vision qu’ils ont de leur métier et de leur rôle dans la société.
