Résumé:
The only Austrian winner of the Pritzker Prize (1985) and president of the architecture biennale in Venice, the Viennese architect Hans Hollein (born 1934) has been a leading exponent of postmodernism in architecture. Yet his global stature as an architect has overshadowed his design work of the 1970s and 1980s and his artistic work of the 1960s and 1970s, despite past exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. This richly illustrated, comprehensive catalogue, and the exhibition it accompanies at the Neue Galerie in Graz, is the first retrospective of Hollein as a truly universal artist and a renaissance man for the digital age. It is also the first to present Hollein's oeuvre as a whole: his work as artist, designer and architect, but also as theoretician, curator, teacher and collaborator with such artists as Christo and Claes Oldenburg.

Résumé:
Picking up on architecture’s tradition of teaching professional experience to students through conversation, this book provides insight into the ideas, methods, and memories of Günther Vogt, and questions the attitude that this innovative landscape architect adopts towards his profession. With reference to five different locations, Günther Vogt speaks about current themes of landscape architecture and its relationship to architecture and the city, about his teaching at the ETH Zürich, and about the work of Vogt Landscape Architects; he describes his perception of the landscape as a cabinet of curiosities, tells how he collects various phenomena and individual elements, relates them to each other and rearranges them. And in the reader’s mind’s eye unfolds a cosmos, in which the lack of wholeness of nature seems to be a gain rather than a loss.

Résumé:
This publication documents more than 130 alternative spaces, groups, and projects, and the significant contributions these organizations have made to the aesthetic and social fabric of New York City. Alternative art spaces offer sites for experimentation for artists to innovate, perform, and exhibit outside the commercial gallery-and-museum circuit. In New York City, the development of alternative spaces was almost synonymous with the rise of the contemporary art scene. Beginning in the 1960s and early 1970s, it was within a network of alternative sites--including 112 Greene Street, The Kitchen, P.S.1, FOOD, and many others--that the work of young artists like Yvonne Rainer, Vito Acconci, Gordon Matta-Clark, Ana Mendieta, David Wojnarowicz, David Hammons, Adrian Piper, Martin Wong, Jimmie Durham, and dozens of other now familiar names first circulated. Through interviews, photographs, essays, and archival material, Alternative Histories tells the story of such famous sites and organizations as Judson Memorial Church, Anthology Film Archives, A.I.R. Gallery, El Museo del Barrio, Franklin Furnace, and Eyebeam, as well as many less well-known sites and organizations. Essays by the exhibition curators and scholars, and excerpts of interviews with alternative space founders and staff, provide cultural and historical context.

Résumé:
This publication showcases the acclaimed landscape designer's urban renewal effort for downtown Denver in the 1970s. Drawing on the rugged beauty of the city's natural surroundings for inspiration, Halprin created a signature landmark of sunken fountains, walls, and berms that served as an urban promenade and an oasis from the surrounding streets. This monograph honors the legacy of Halprin's original work by presenting the most complete documentation available of the park's conception, construction, and use before its total redesign in 2003. This first book on Halprin's modern landscape project features new photography, archival drawings, and original documentation.

Résumé:
Ce livre constitue un plaidoyer, par l'un des architectes majeurs de notre époque, destiné à éduquer le regard pour apprendre à observer notre environnement sans focalisation excessive sur ce qui peut apparaître "nouveau". Pour Alvaro Siza, imaginer ne consiste pas à "inventer" des éléments extraordinaires mais principalement à s'imprégner et à organiser différemment ce que le passé, les lieux ou les autres cultures nous livrent d'idées, de processus, de formes...L'architecte doit pouvoir être qualifié d'humaniste au sens où il cherche à servir avant tout les hommes pour lesquels ses bâtiments sont destinés. Il ne doit pas chercher a priori la prouesse technique ou plastique ce qui pourtant semble constituer la caractérisation d'une architecture contemporaine mondialisée. Pour Siza, l'un des fondamentaux reste bien le lieu, le site et sa prise en compte dans ses interactions avec l'"humain", au centre de toutes les contraintes d'un projet. Ces textes (illustrés de dessins originaux) témoignent de la démarche originale et respectueuse d'un très grand architecte.

Résumé:
Mies van der Rohe : A Critical Biography is a major rewriting and expansion of Franz Schulze’s acclaimed 1985 biography, the first full treatment of the architect. Co-authored with architect Edward Windhorst, this revised edition features new and extensive original research and commentary. Schulze and Windhorst trace Mies’s European career in its progression to avant-garde modernism — where his work was materially rich but of modest scale — to his second maturity and world renown in the United States, where he invented a new architectural language of “objective” structural expression.
