Résumé:
The Serpentine Gallery has commissioned Olafur Eliasson and architect Kjetil Thorsen to design its Pavilion in 2007. Based on the principle of a winding ramp, the Pavilion explores the idea of vertical circulation within a single space. “Our collaboration on the Serpentine Pavilion 2007 is defined by our mutual focus on the experience of space and on temporality as a constitutive element of spaces, private or public. We both work within a field of spatial experimentation that renders conceptual differences between art and architecture superfluous.” The publication comprises extensive visual material documenting the development and realisation of the pavilion; two essays by Doreen Massey, Professor of Geography at The Open University (UK), and Andreas Ruby, architecture critic; a conversation between Olafur Eliasson, Kjetil Thorsen, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Julia Peyton-Jones (Co-directors, Serpentine Gallery).

Résumé:
Présentation d'une cinquantaine de projets architecturaux dessinés à l'occasion des expositions universelles de Paris. Véritables laboratoires, vivants recueils d'architectures et d'ornements, les expositions universelles rythment la vie des grandes capitales, à partir de 1851. L'idée d'une confrontation pacifique, internationale, qui rassemble commerce, industrie et beaux-arts se concrétise avec la première Exposition universelle de Londres : Le Crystal Palace, élevé par Joseph Paxton, devient un monument symbolique et novateur par sa transparence, ses dimensions grandioses, le modernisme de sa réalisation. Lors de la première Exposition universelle parisienne de 1855, l'éblouissante réalisation londonienne suscite le vif désir de donner une expression monumentale à un bâtiment conçu pour durer : le Palais de l'industrie, situé au bas des Champs-Elysées. Il accueille les expositions du Salon jusqu'à sa destruction, pour faire place aux Grand et Petit Palais de l'Exposition de 1900. D'abord peu étendues, centrées autour d'un unique palais, les expositions prennent, à partir de 1867, le visage de véritables cités de l'éphémère, bariolées et colorées, qui, lorsqu'elles sont situées au coeur même de la ville, entrent en totale contradiction avec elle. Grâce à la riche collection de dessins d'architecture du musée d'Orsay et du Fonds Eiffel, cet ouvrage permet d'illustrer l'imagination des architectes, la diversité des édifices et ressuscite d'extraordinaires réalisations aujourd'hui disparues.

Résumé:
From April to October in 1964 and 1965, some 52 million people from around the world flocked to the New York World's Fair, an experience that lives on in the memory of many individuals and in America's collective consciousness. Lawrence R. Samuel offers a thought-provoking portrait of this seminal event and of the cultural climate that surrounded it, countering critics' assessment of the Fair as the "ugly duckling" of global expositions. Although much attention has been paid to the controversial role of Fair president Robert Moses, who tried to use the event to ensure his personal legacy, the Fair itself was for the great majority of visitors an overwhelmingly positive, often inspirational, and sometimes transcendent experience that truly delivered on its theme of "peace through understanding." Much of the Fair's popularity, Samuel suggests, stemmed from its looking backward as much as forward, offering visitors sanctuary from the cultural storm that was rapidly approaching in the mid-1960s. Opening just five months after President Kennedy's assassination, the Fair allowed millions to celebrate international brotherhood while the conflict in Vietnam came to a boil. The Fair glorified the postwar American dream of limitless optimism just as a counterculture of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll was coming into being. It was, in short, the last gasp of the American Dream: The End of the Innocence.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage est le catalogue de l’exposition Villa Savoyehantée qui a lieu du 20 novembre au 22 décembre 2004 à la Villa Savoye. Pendant l’hiver 2003, durant un mois, l’architecte Philippe Rahm et seize étudiants de l’atelier de Jean-Luc Vilmouth, artiste et enseignant à l’École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, vont « hanter la modernité de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, en visiter les dimensions cachées, les zones d’ombres, sa part invisible.Chercher des fantômes dans la transparence du verre, révéler l’occulte dans les surfaces lisses et légères, l’ineffable dans l’architecture blanche et lumineuse d’un siècle moderne déjà passé. Il existe une contemporanéité des fantômes. » Ce catalogue présente les travaux des étudiants, en « dialogue » avec le récit de cette expérience commune. Il raconte également l’histoire de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, manifeste de la modernité architecturale et classée monument historique en 1965, et propose un regard différent sur cette « pure création de l’esprit», comme l’appelait Le Corbusier lui-même.
