Résumé:
Qu'est-ce que l'art architectural ? La plupart des ouvrages de théorie de l'architecture n'émanent pas d'architectes, mais de chercheurs ou de critiques réputés qui pratiquent un autre métier, comme l'anthropologue Françoise Choay. Lorsqu'ils sont architectes, les auteurs produisent davantage des livres de recettes autobiographiques que des essais de réflexion théorique. Le statut de Rémy Butler est donc assez atypique. Son questionnement, développé pendant des décennies au contact de générations d'élèves, est alimenté par une ample connaissance de la pratique. Sa méthode, originale, consiste à interroger quelques termes constamment utilisés pour la qualifier : échelle, rythme, ornement, composition... pour dessiner la valeur symbolique de l'architecture, de Vitruve à nos jours. Humaniste, la réflexion, nourrie par des ouvrages de tous bords, s'échafaude au moyen de multiples références qui décloisonnent le champ de la réflexion architecturale classique.

Les mêmes questions de structure, d'agencement, d'accès, de parcours, de visibilité, de protection et d'identité traversent et relient nos différents usages de ces constructions. Par-delà l'évidence de leur irréductible singularité matérielle, il s'agit ici de croiser des réflexions qui engagent au plan de la conception - dans l'histoire et dans le présent - des moments critiques dans la perception de ces architectures.

In the fall of 2007, Lebbeus Woods (1940-2012), long admired for his visionary architecture and mastery of drawing, began a blog. Part forum and part public journal, the eclectic mix of articles, drawings, anecdotes, poetry, interviews, and photographic essays explored topics ranging from architectural theory and criticism to education and politics. Amassing more thanv three hundred entries by its end in the summer of 2012, it is regarded by many as the most comprehensive and accessible archive of Woods's prodigious creativity. Slow Manifesto: Lebbeus Woods Blog, an edited volume of the blog's centerpiece entries, stands as a fragmentary essay on the nature of architecture that will be dear to architects, students, and thinkers everywhere.

Résumé:
Now available in paperback, renowned writer and thinker David Leatherbarrow's groundbreaking Architecture Oriented Otherwise argues for a more profound, yet simpler, way of thinking about architecture, namely on the basis of how it performs. It's not only about how a building functions but also how it acts, including its effects on observers and inhabitants as well as on the landscape that situates it. Drawing on an encyclopedic reading of contemporary philosophy, as well as from the work of architects whose work he admires, including Peter Zumthor, Renzo Piano, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright, Leatherbarrow challenges architects to think about their buildings in a vastly wider context, opening up the possibility of creating works that are richer in meaning, quality, and life.

Résumé:
While the first half of the 20th century in architecture was, to a large extent, characterized by innovations in aesthetics (accompanied by succinct and polemical manifestoes), the post-war decades saw emerge a more refined and intellectual disciplinary framework that eventually metamorphosed into the highly theory-focused moment of the 'postmodern'. Colin Frederick Rowe (1920 - 1999) was a leader of this epistemic shift due to his aptitude to connect his historical and philosophical erudition to the visual analysis of architecture. This book unites ten different perspectives from architects whose lives and ideas intersected with Rowe’s, including: Robert Maxwell, Anthony Vidler, Peter Eisenman, O. Mathias Ungers, Léon Krier, Rem Koolhaas, Alan Colquhoun, Robert Slutzky, Bernhard Hoesli and Bernard Tschumi.

Résumé:
Buildings are not benign; rather, they commonly manipulate and abuse their human users. Architectural Agents makes the case that buildings act in the world independently of their makers, patrons, owners, or occupants. And often they act badly.Treating buildings as bodies, Annabel Jane Wharton writes biographies of symptomatic structures in order to diagnose their pathologies. The violence of some sites is rooted in historical trauma; the unhealthy spatial behaviors of other spaces stem from political and economic ruthlessness. The places examined range from the Cloisters Museum in New York City and the Palestine Archaeological Museum (renamed the Rockefeller Museum) in Jerusalem to the grand Hostal de los Reyes CatOlicos in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and Las Vegas casino resorts.
