Résumé:
Première traduction française de l'essai fondateur de l'architecte espagnol sur le type en architecture. Après avoir déjà traduit en 2019 un autre livre – Silencios elocuentes – du même auteur, les éditions Cosa Mentale veulent continuer à rendre possible la découverte de la leçon de Carlos Martí Arís, la considérant d'une importance fondamentale pour la culture architecturale actuelle. En particulier, dans ce livre, l'auteur présente une théorie de la conception architecturale selon laquelle l'idée de type n'est pas conçue comme un mécanisme de reproduction mais comme une structure de la forme capable de développements multiples. Cette édition comprend une introduction rédigée par Raphael Moneo, l'un des architectes espagnols les plus connus sur la scène internationale, dont le regard lucide sur le passé et le présent souligne l'extrême actualité du contenu d'un ouvrage originellement publié en 1993.

Résumé:
Applying the insights of neuroscience to architecture has the potential to deliver buildings and spaces that measurably promote well-being and create healthier or more effective environments for specific activities. There is, however, a risk that neuroarchitecture will become just another buzzword, a passing architectural fashion or a marketing exercise just as 'eco',(...)

Résumé:
Applying the insights of neuroscience to architecture has the potential to deliver buildings and spaces that measurably promote well-being and create healthier or more effective environments for specific activities. There is, however, a risk that neuroarchitecture will become just another buzzword, a passing architectural fashion or a marketing exercise just as 'eco', 'green' and 'sustainable' have become. This issue of AD offers the reader an alternative to 'neuro' sound-bites and exposes them to the thinking which led to the design of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour (SWC), a pioneering medical research facility designed to foster collaboration between researchers.

'iheartblob' avails itself of a new visual vocabulary of architecture. Here designs are visualized not in the form of ground plans and sections. Instead, renderings, mixed-reality objects (which are depicted physically and in augmented reality) and animations are the media which reflect the legacy of the mathematician Lagrange. Visually, but also on the basis of short(...)

Résumé:
'iheartblob' avails itself of a new visual vocabulary of architecture. Here designs are visualized not in the form of ground plans and sections. Instead, renderings, mixed-reality objects (which are depicted physically and in augmented reality) and animations are the media which reflect the legacy of the mathematician Lagrange. Visually, but also on the basis of short theoretical texts, the book facilitates new discussions about the contemporary theoretical and cultural framework – and thus also about the “crisis of philosophy” faced not only by architecture. While the theoretical framework here invokes the principles of object-oriented ontology, in a subsequent step it attempts to unravel the theoretical principles of postmodernity and poststructural formalism.

In the world of interior design, mid-century Modernism has left an indelible mark still seen and felt today in countless open-concept floor plans and spare, geometric furnishings. Yet despite our continued fascination, we rarely consider how this iconic design sensibility was marketed to the diverse audiences of its era. Examining advice manuals, advertisements in Life and Ebony, furniture, art, and more, 'Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body' offers a powerful new look at how codes of race, gender, and identity influenced — and were influenced by — Modern design and shaped its presentation to consumers.

What can you do with a degree in architecture? Where might it take you? What kind of challenges could you address? Architects After Architecture reframes architecture as a uniquely versatile way of acting on the world, far beyond that of designing buildings. In this volume, we meet forty practitioners through profiles, case studies, and interviews, who have used their architectural training in new and resourceful ways to tackle the climate crisis, work with refugees, advocate for diversity, start tech companies, become leading museum curators, tackle homelessness, draft public policy, become developers, design videogames, shape public discourse, and much more. Together, they describe a future of architecture that is diverse and engaged, expanding the limits of the discipline, and offering new paths forward in times of crisis.

Résumé:
To what extent did the circulation of people, commodities and knowledge affect architecture and urban design between World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989? Swiss urban studies professor Tom Avermaete teams up with Chicago-based architect Michelangelo Sabatino to interrogate the influence of globalization on postwar architecture. Globalization is a complex phenomenon that has profoundly affected the practice of designers and engineers in the postwar era as it simultaneously expands and shrinks the world in which we live. Avermaete and Sabatino arrive at several conclusions through a diligent analysis of spatial, political and social geographies, from airports and hotels to construction materials and labor. ''The Global Turn'' presents their findings in a series of six short essays, providing a fresh viewpoint on a new worldwide environment that gives as much as it takes.

Un percorso che dalla crisi odierna risale fino agli anni Settanta, delineando quella che appare una lunga crisi climatico-ambientale, energetica, sanitaria, che riguarda anche le istituzioni, le professioni e lo stesso progetto moderno. L’ambiente, lo spazio pubblico, quello del dissenso, il controllo dei dati, l’università, il ruolo dell’architetto, sono alcune tra le questioni affrontate in questo libro-intervista.
