Résumé:
There are all kinds of houses—big houses, little houses, strange houses, old houses… But how do you decide which one is just right for you… In 'Houses for Sale' a family travels through architectural history searching for their perfect home. When nothing fits, they decide to build one together. But there is always more, to add, to change, until finally, they realize there is no such thing as the perfect home — it is the search that they truly enjoy. They end where they began, imagining what’s next. 'Houses for Sale' was written and illustrated by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample of MOS. The book is both a children’s glossary of architectural form and the true story of lifelong curiosity.

Looking Through Le Corbusier Windows by Takashi Homma

Résumé:
Takashi Homma first encountered the work of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in Chandigarh in 2013, while producing photographs commissioned by the CCA, some of which are included in this book. Following that experience, he decided to research and photograph the spatial and perceptual richness of windows in other works by Le Corbusier across the world. His research is part of the Windowology program initiated by the Window Research Institute, which aims to define the position of windows in the history of architecture across cultures—in this particular case, their role as spaces, rather than surfaces, that connect the interior of a building and the surrounding landscape, or the private and the public. An essay by Tim Benton complements Homma’s photographs by tracing the evolution of the concept of windows in Le Corbusier’s work.

Résumé:
What role can history play in contemporary architecture practice? ''Besides, History: Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers, David Van Severen'' invites three architects to reread, redraw, translate, and appropriate from the past and from each other in order to construct relationships between and meanings out of a constellation of references. In their conversations, history becomes a tool that can be used in production, rather than just an object of study. The book features newly produced plans, sections, models, and perspectives for projects by Go Hasegawa and OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, juxtaposed with reference material chosen from the CCA Collection. Introduced and annotated by the architects, these images form a visual manifesto for a unique relationship to history.

Tags: Libri per Bambini Illustrati Il petrolio, si sa, è una risorsa non rinnovabile. Ma da dove viene? Come si produce? E se dovesse finire?

Dalla raccolta differenziata all’isolamento termico, dal riciclo alla riduzione dell’inquinamento; la Russell ci racconta che non è vero che non si può cambiare il mondo, perché ognuno nel suo piccolo può fare la differenza. Un modo per parlare anche ai più piccoli di sostenibilità e delle problematiche ambientali di oggi, in maniera semplice e ironica, per crescere generazioni più consapevoli che abbiano a cuore il destino di questo pianeta.
