Résumé:
The new permanent display of Architekturzentrum Wien’s (Az W) collection is a milestone in the presentation of architecture and its social dimensions. ''Hot questions—cold storage'' is published alongside this comprehensive exhibition on Austrian architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, featuring color images of all exhibits, concise texts, and thematic essays. This book reexamines the country’s architectural culture of the last 150 years, situating it in its cultural, social, and political contexts. Each chapter is prefaced by a question, asking, for example, about the impact of capitalism on our cities and villages or about the contribution architecture can make to our survival on the planet. These ''Hot questions'' bring to life the ''Cold storage''—the silent repository of the collection’s holdings. This book offers a multi-perspective narrative that presents Austria’s building history with all the developments, ideologies, and institutions it comprises. The social relevance of objects and documents is revealed through questioning and visualization, in connecting research and the museum’s mission to collect.

Résumé:
Seamlessly interweaving the new with the historic, the renovation by Selldorf Architects preserves The Frick Collection’s Gilded Age grandeur and sense of tranquillity while making more of the museum accessible and adding important new amenities. A museum of memorable rooms and superb Old Master holdings, The Frick Collection, the former home of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, is one of New York City’s most beloved art institutions. Designed by Thomas Hastings of the New York firm of Carrère and Hastings, the original Fifth Avenue mansion was completed in 1914 and served the Frick family until 1931. With John Russell Pope’s expansion of the mansion in 1935, which included the addition of a library (today’s esteemed Frick Art Research Library), the residence was converted into a public museum. The goal of the renovation was to honor the architectural legacy and unique contemplative atmosphere of the Frick while adding new space and critical infrastructure updates. Visitors will enjoy the enhanced functionality of the institution, and its improved climate controls will ensure the preservation of the collection and the house for generations to come.

Résumé:
A partir de documents d'archives et d'entretiens, B. Hamzeian rend compte des caractéristiques spécifiques du Centre Pompidou qui, à travers l'union de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie, de l'industrie, de la programmation et de l'informatique, incarne le concept de design total. Il met notamment en lumière les problématiques de l'architecture technomorphe. Au milieu des années 1970, au coeur de paris, prend forme une oeuvre qui cristallise le rêve d'une époque, celui d'unir les compétences de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie, de l'industrie, de l'aéronautique, de la programmation et de l'informatique pour transformer un bâtiment en une machine hautement technologique et interactive. Intrinsèquement mobile et flexible, au service de la foule. Il s'agit du centre Pompidou. À la veille d'une des plus grandes transformations jamais entreprises sur cet ouvrage, et grâce à l'utilisation de documents d'archives et d'entretiens inédits, il est temps de reconstituer la genèse et la mise au point de ses composantes fondamentales : des moules d'acier colossales à la limite des capacités techniques de l'époque, des organes techniques transformés en figures architecturales, une façade tridimensionnelle conçue pour accueillir des écrans pour informer la foule métropolitaine, une piazza ancrée au coeur de paris pour recueillir son flux vital, et un aménagement muséal conçu pour des transformations continues. Retracer l'évolution de ces composants est la clé pour comprendre une approche holistique au projet de la construction qui porte le nom de total design.

Résumé:
How long ago have you been to an exhibition or an event? What information and amusement you get from it? Did you enjoy it? We are thrilled to present you our latest title When Space Meets Art/When Art Meets Space which leads you to taste and feel all sorts of events comprehensively. An exhibition, a party or any kinds of event can encompass all design areas. For many of us who usually focus only on the exhibited items or the subject of events, few of us ever pay attention to the whole design environment. This title will guide you to look and feel it through two key components: spatial design and graphic elements. From 3D to 2D, it demonstrates how structural work including venue setups from exterior to interior makes the whole event outstanding and turn into exceptional eye-catching fascination and how graphic elements from venue decorations to promotional items makes consistency to reflect the whole event concept and affect the affiliation from the exhibited subjects to audience. By that, the title ultimately reveals how these objects affect your sense and blow up your impression to particular events.
