Résumé:
Artist Dan Graham and writer Jessica Russell's playful Architecture/Astrology considers some of the most important and innovative figures in the world of architecture from an angle few would expect: their star signs. Originally published as a column for Domus magazine, Graham and Russell's book integrates critical analysis with astrology and mythology to offer alternative perspectives on the work and personalities of artist/architects including Frank Gehry (a restless, dreamy Pisces), Frank Lloyd Wright (a romantic Gemini with one foot in the past and the other in the future), Eero Saarinen (a dynamic, dramatic Leo) and Le Corbusier (a logical, balanced Libra). With accompanying illustrations by Mieko Meguro.

Résumé:
Reinhold Martin’s Mediators is a series of linked meditations on the globalized city. Focusing on infrastructural, technical, and social systems, Martin explores how the aesthetics and the political economy of cities overlap and interact. He discusses a range of subjects, including the architecture of finance written into urban policy, regimes of enumeration that remix city and country, fictional ecologies that rewrite biopolitics, the ruins of socialism strewn amid the transnational commons, and memories of revolution stored in everyday urban hardware. For Martin, these mediators—the objects, processes, and imaginaries from which these phenomena emerge—serve to explain disparate fragments of a global urbanity.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage réunit les rares textes autographes de Carlo Scarpa et une expographie détaillée, de l'immédiat Après-guerre aux années 1970. Il rend compte de sa pensée artistique globale comme de ses qualités scénographiques. Ses réalisations pour la Biennale de Venise, ses monographies de Piet Mondrian et Marcel Duchamp, ses collaborations avec Lucio Fontana et Arturo Martini et ses interventions dans de nombreux monuments historiques dessinent le parcours de l'un des architectes les plus subtils et originaux du XXe siècle, dont la prolifique carrière a profondément renouvelé l'art de l'exposition.

Résumé:
Si ses créations architecturales mondialement célèbres ont fait la renommée de Rudy Ricciotti, son franc-parler est tout aussi mythique. L'ouvrage En vain ! en est une illustration. L'architecte y égrenne ses considérations, tantôt mordantes, tantôt admiratives, mais toujours percutantes, au sujet de cinquante-neuf personnalités, d'Andy Warhol à Ettore Sottsass en passant par Pierre Soulages, Francis Bacon ou Claude Viallat. Ainsi, Malevitch se voit-il qualifier d' « assassin », tandis qu'Oscar Niemeyer se retrouve « à la droite de Dieu » mais « vit en enfer à cause de la bétonnière », tandis que Beuys est réduit à un « piètre pilote, dompteur de coyotes et grand reporter au Wall Street Journal ».

Résumé:
Cities, estates and routing systems develop, change constantly and fundamentally cannot be planned. Claims to ownership, land and building regulations, planning decisions and political interventions make it difficult for settlement structures to adapt to constantly changing requirements to such an extent that meaningful and totally ecological use of the surface of the earth is becoming increasingly difficult, although new techniques and flexible planning models mean that a connection could be found with the self-designing processes of urban-development history.

Résumé:
Una città in forma di palazzo : dans le dernier tiers du Quattrocento, à Urbino, Mantoue ou Milan, des princes voulurent faire de leur résidence des cités idéales, à l’écart de la ville mais s’imposant à elle, l’ordonnant. Ils suivaient en cela la leçon d’Alberti, qui avait fait de son De re aedificatoria un traité non pas de l’art de bâtir, mais de sa politisation. Car l’architecture humaniste devenait un art de la persuasion. Elle était chargée d’exprimer ce que les mots n’osaient pas encore dire : l’absolutisation du pouvoir princier. Ce petit livre confronte cette folle ambition au déniaisement machiavélien, rappelant que s’il existe un langage architectural, alors celui-ci ménage aussi des non-dits, suscite des incompréhensions, trahit des lapsus.
