Résumé:
C'est l'histoire des raisons pour lesquelles la société urbaine des pays riches en est venue à idéaliser le modèle de l'habitation individuelle au plus près de la nature. De ses plus anciennes expressions mythologiques jusqu'à l'urbain diffus contemporain, cette histoire couvre plus de trois millénaires. Elle aboutit aujourd'hui à un paradoxe insoutenable : la quête de " la nature " (en termes de paysage) détruit son objet même : la nature (en termes d'écosystèmes et de biosphère). Associée à l'automobile, la maison individuelle est effectivement devenue le motif directeur d'un genre de vie dont l'empreinte écologique démesurée entraîne une surconsommation insoutenable à long terme des ressources de la nature.

Résumé:
This publication covers the most innovative and inspired small houses in Japan and is split into two volumes: city and country. Featuring a total of more than 25 small-scale domestic projects categorised based on location, together the volumes form an intriguing report on how predominantly young Japanese architects approach challenging contexts and highly restricted urban sites. Beautifully photographed and presented with detailed drawings, project information and insights by the individual architects, the selected domiciles are a testament to Japanese design talent when striving for maximum yield through minimal means in high-density or natural surroundings.

Résumé:
Although Japanese architects have to contend with very particular constraints, from tiny plots in crowded urban contexts to ever-present seismic threats, their innovative solutions to the creation of space and stable structures, combined with their close attention to materials, technology and natural light, have resulted in homes that are internationally admired. This overview of fifty recently built Japanese houses includes projects by three Pritzker Prize-winners— Tadao Ando, Shigeru Ban and Kazuyo Sejima—as well as by lesser-known emerging architects. Each house is clearly illustrated with colour photographs and plans, and is lucidly described by Philip Jodidio, who has travelled extensively around Japan and is deeply familiar with these projects and their creators. His book is a demonstration of Japan’s enduring commitment to design innovation.

Résumé:
Swiss architects and researchers Géraldine Borio and Caroline Wüthrich have been living and working in Hong Kong since 2010, when they established their architectural firm, Parallel Lab, there. Since then, they’ve been fascinated by the micro-level of urban life in Hong Kong, and it’s led to a major project: the pair investigated the ways the city’s residents use the narrow lanes that run behind and between the city’s high-rises, semi-public spaces that offer venues for business, social interaction, and a wide range of informal encounters. Hong Kong in Between presents the results of this exploration through a mix of black-and-white drawings, diagrams, plans, photographs, and texts that reveal the active, ever-changing life of these forgotten, in-between spaces.

Résumé:
The projects by ten Korean architects highlighted in this exhibition catalogue satisfied briefs that mostly called for modest and human buildings, in opposition to the large housing sectors currently being built in Seoul and many other Asian cities. Particular attentiveness to the surroundings is seen in a number of the projects, especially when inserted into a mixed urban context of old and new. The high quality of traditional workmanship is readily apparent, along with close attention to detail and specific cultural qualities. In addition to an essay by Inha Jung on correlative architecture and new urban realities, the book includes detailed project data, images and drawings.
