Résumé:
"Reality machines" features work by young contemporary Dutch architects, industrial designers, fashion designers, graphic designers and photographers. This book examines the stance adopted by Dutch designers in the 1990s and today. Militating against the 'makability' of a fully designed landscape, they deliberately seek to distort and alineate reality. Five themed groups - PhotoShop reality; come back effect; back to basics; no original; and are you serious? - pull the various disciplines into confrontation. An introductory article by Pauline Terreehorst charts the state of play within those disciplines; this in response to the question of how the Dutch design world will shape up in a future marked by changed economic and political circumstances. Largely given over to illustrations, the book includes work by architects (West 8, MVRDV, NL Architects, One Architecture), industrial designers (Hella Jongerius, Arnout Visser, Jurgen Bey, Marcel Wanders, Richard Hutten), fashion designers (Alexander van Slobbe, Saskia van Drimmelen, Pascale Gatzen, Aziz Bekkaoui, Niels Klavers), graphic designers (Jop van Bennekom, Daniël van der Velden & Maureen Mooren, Thonik) and photographers (Anuschka Blommers & Niels Schumm, Vivianne Sassen). Exhibition in the Netherlands Architecture Institute until April 21, 2003. Graphic design by Jop van Nennekom.

A few architects in the pre-digital era anticipated the shape of today's sleek and supple buildings, but computers have helped make many of today's large, truly innovative architectural projects buildable. Up until now, the new generation's architectural work has been overshadowed by that of the previous generation.

Among the thirty architects featured are Greg Lynn, ShoP, Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, Wes Jones, Lindy Roy, Foreign Office Architects, Rem Koolhaas, and Frank Gehry.

Résumé:
L’architecture est, concrètement, l’« art de construire ». Pourtant on ne la considère souvent que sous son aspect abstrait d’art du design ou de la composition. Les architectes, anciennement « chef charpentiers » ou maçons, sont peu à peu devenus des designers. Cette évolution a vu grandir le fossé entre les idées et leur réalisation, malgré d’occasionnelles tentatives pour renverser la tendance, notamment avec le mouvement des Arts and Crafts au XIXe siècle. Après un siècle consacré pour l’essentiel aux débats sur la forme et l’espace, le monde de l’architecture connaît aujourd’hui un intérêt renouvelé pour les matériaux, alors même que les progrès technologiques semblent renforcer la tendance à l’abstraction. Par compensation, ce phénomène entraîne une amélioration des qualités matérielles des bâtiments. L’architecte possède aujourd’hui un contrôle direct sur l’atelier et le site de construction, ce qui lui permet de rapprocher les processus d’imagination et de construction. Après une brève introduction, le livre s’ouvre sur trois chapitres historiques et critiques : « matériaux de construction », « surfaces et forme » et « nature des matériaux ». Six chapitres plus courts suivent : « les matériaux en place », « les matériaux dans le temps », « les jonctions », « la finition », « le sens », « les surfaces ». Un débat sur le futur des différents matériaux de l’architecture contemporaine clôt l’ouvrage.

Instead of innovation, today's traditionalists tap into what is already there, drawing from the past and preferring means that have already proved their worth. In Hans Ibelings's book contemporary traditionalism, stripped of all populistic and moralistic arguments for and against, is analysed from different angles. Ibelings places contemporary traditionalism in an international and historical perspective. In so doing, the book answers the question of what contemporary traditionalism has to offer a 21st-century society.

Résumé:
This book takes the reader on a tour of the concept behind the Ulm School, its 15 years of life and its legacy. The look at the past also follows the long path taken by German design, starting with the Bauhaus, before emigrating to the USA and eventually returning to its roots. The authors illustrate the role the School continues to play by pointing out everyday products designed by HfG teachers and alumni, e.g the Lufthansa corporate design and the ICE train, to name but two examples. There is also a look at some visionary projects that the School never realized. On the theoretical level, the book begins and concludes with a discussion of international modernism in philosophy and design, culminating in the question of its future, especially in terms of architecture and our environment.

Résumé:
Architects increasingly operate on a global scene, and just as numerous British architects have proved highly successful at winning projects abroad, so architects from Europe, the United States and the Far East are making their mark in Britain. One thinks, for example, of Daniel Libeskind’s Imperial War Museum and Tadao Ando’s new square and pavilion project, both in Manchester, or of Frank Gehry’s Cancer Care Centre in Dundee. Well-known British practices such as Future Systems, Alsop Architects and Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners also inevitably feature prominently in the international story of the country’s recent architectural renaissance, but so too do newer, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital. This book describes and illustrates over 100 outstanding projects, both large and small, from around Britain – none completed earlier than 2001, and some still under construction or at planning stage. Covering every conceivable building type, from houses, offices and department stores to theatres, heritage sites and museums, this book makes a contribution to the continuing debate about the role of architecture in forging a new environment and underpinning the growth of a healthy society.
