Résumé:
From the summer of 1933 to the fall of 1934, more than 38 million fairgoers visited a 3-mile stretch along Lake Michigan, home to Chicago’s second World’s Fair. Millions more experienced the Century of Progress International Exposition through newspaper and magazine articles, newsreels, and souvenirs. Together, all marveled at the industrial, scientific, consumer, and cultural displays, many of which were housed in fifty massive and colorful exhibition halls, the largest architectural project realized in the United States during the Great Depression. In the richly illustrated "Building a century of progress", Lisa D. Schrenk explores the pivotal role of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair in modern American architecture. She recounts how the exposition’s architectural commission promoted a broad definition of modern architecture, not relying on purely aesthetic characteristics but instead focusing on new design solutions. The fair’s pavilions incorporated recently introduced building materials such as masonite and gypsum board; structural innovations (for example, the first thin-shell concrete roof and the first suspended roof structures built in the United States); and new construction processes, most notably the use of prefabrication. They also featured curiosities like the giant, constantly operating mayonnaise maker and the glass-walled House of Tomorrow, which had no operable windows. Schrenk shows how the halls’ designs reflected cultural and political developments of the period, including the expanding relationships between science, industry, and government; the rise of a corporate consumer culture; and the impact of the Great Depression. Many of the designs provoked intense responses from critics and other prominent architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright and Ralph Adams Cram, fueling heated debates over the appropriate direction for architecture in the United States. Demonstrating the rich diversity of progressive American building design seen at the fair, this book captures a crucial moment in American modernism.

Résumé:
Rich in images, "Asking Questions" offers a kaleidoscopic perspective of ten years of architectural design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. The Gerrit Rietveld Academy works to a unique educational concept, as its students are encouraged to approach assignments in their own way. This is why its graduates cannot be called straightforward interior designers. Asking Questions paints a picture of the academy's conceptual approach to architecture through a historical perspective of its education, student statistics, an inventory of outstanding study assignments and an overview of work done by graduates once they had left the academy. Since then, they have been active in all branches of the design industry.

Résumé:
Le Centre Pompidou a la garde d’un patrimoine exceptionnel couvrant la création dans toute sa diversité depuis le début du XXe siècle jusqu’à la période la plus contemporaine. Avec la création d’un site à Metz, il fait franchir une nouvelle étape à la politique de diffusion extérieure engagée en 1997, lors de ses travaux de rénovation. Le projet messin se veut un exemple ambitieux de décentralisation. L’institution messine va bénéficier, en 2007, d’un projet architectural choisi au terme d’un concours international d’architecture, comme l’avait été, en son temps, le bâtiment de Paris conçu par Renzo Piano et Richard Rogers. Ce projet situé dans le quartier de l’Amphithéâtre, s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un vaste programme de rénovation urbaine engagé par la Ville de Metz.
