Résumé:
The concept "Formula New Ljubljana" is used as a means to explore the city's development as a constant and dynamic process. Rather than being in a state of frozen identity, Slovenia's capital inspires new visions. Formulas state concepts applied to architectural products. They are used as the communication tool in the office while developing a particular product, in discussions with the client and presentations to the public. More than one product can be defined by one formula. Formulas exist regardless of typologies, program, location, budget, time of execution symbolic power, or any other parameter that outline the "uniqueness" of an architectural product. Formulas aim to become generic phrases and to provide a user friendly tool for communicating architectural products. Formulas communicate architectural products away from their technical or typological categories. A formula captures the character of an architectural product and its effect on the observer and the user.

The phenomenon we know as "The Hamptons" — the epitome of high society, leisure, and affluence, the place of worldly glamour and every pleasure, natural and unnatural, that money can buy — began as a group of Puritan villages along Long Island's south shore before it was discovered at the end of the 19th century by artists and the fashionably rich.

Résumé:
The phenomenon we know as "The Hamptons" — the epitome of high society, leisure, and affluence, the place of worldly glamour and every pleasure, natural and unnatural, that money can buy — began as a group of Puritan villages along Long Island's south shore before it was discovered at the end of the 19th century by artists and the fashionably rich. The earliest social Hamptonites, descendents of colonial aristocracy, mingled with the colorful characters of the art colonies. Here the rich built fashionable and expansive summer houses where they enjoyed carefree recreation, artistic endeavors, and elegant social occasions. "Houses of the Hamptons, 1880-1930", explores more than 30 houses, many designed by some of America's leading architects. Less enamored with the showy grandeur typical of Newport's golden age, the wealthy Hamptonites built summer places that were an ensemble of exceptional architectural variety and achievement. Here, American Colonial, half-timbered Tudor, and red brick Georgian vied with shingled cottages and Mediterranean fantasy.

Résumé:
Miami is a world-renowned, cosmopolitan city with an architectural history to match. Its many treasures include not only Miami Beach's Art Deco buildings and Coral Gables, but also the houses and commercial buildings of the immediate postwar era, tropical vernacular architecture, mid-century modernism, and avant-garde high-rise buildings on the waterfront. What all these creations have in common is the intention to allure, delight, and engage the imagination and senses. Indeed, many of Miami's architects have conceived of the city in theatrical terms-a city as stage set. This book covers both well-known masterpieces and the overlooked ones, featuring spectacular color photography as well as archival imagery. With a text that is superbly informed, Miami is at once a definitive scholarly work and a seductive compendium of the area's fabled architecture.

Résumé:
Plus que répondre uniquement à un but esthétique, les nouvelles constructions revêtent une importance culturelle, politique et sociale. Et seules celles qui parviennent à réfléter ces valeurs, en les conjuguant à une approche innovatrice de l'architecture, peuvent être qualifiées de spectaculaires. Mis au défi par un contexte urbain complexe, les édifices doivent intégrer leurs designs dans le tissus urbain existant, par le biais d'une interprétation subtile et sensible de leurs objectifs et relation avec le public. Tenant compte de ces enjeux et critères, cet ouvrage rassemble une sélection de projets d'architecture contemporaine remarquables, réalisés dans le monde au cours de ces dernières.

Résumé:
Sait-on que Paris, fameuse «capitales du XIXe siècle», compte davantage de mètres carrés logés dans des architectures du XXe siècle que dans celles héritées de tous les autres siècles confondus? Et cette présence massive se double d'une variété à nulle autre comparable dans les formes, les dimensions, les plans ou les méthodes de construction. Des efflorescences de l'Art nouveau aux couleurs du postmodernisme, tous les genres, ou presque, ont eu droit de cité à Paris. Mais une ville n'est pas un catalogue de styles prédéfinis, fussent-ils représentés par des personnalités prestigieuses. C'est en considérant l'ensemble du bâti parisien, y compris dans es réalisations méconnues, que l'on prend la mesure pleine et entière de l'évolution du paysage architectural.
