Résumé:
The model room of Olafur Eliasson is a cabinet of studies, which exists both as a spatial structure and a viewing platform for dozens of intricately constructed models of various scales, developed together with Einar Thorsteinn, a architect and artist. The preparatory level – or ground work – is in general crucial to Eliasson's practice; he conceives his works basically as machines that produce phenomena through their interaction with the visitors. The machines are composed of multiple elements and often involve material and knowledge gained from fields other than art. Olafur Eliasson therefore collaborates with scientists occupied with cognitive and visual matters, with architects, and others.

Résumé:
Une cuillère en bois clair finlandais fait l’écho d’une cuillère en bois sombre nigérien, une chaise danoise de forme organique ressemble à un meuble d’artisanat de la Côte d’Ivoire, un aplat d’imprimé Marimekko devient ethnique associé à un indigo optique à motif de feuille de bananier, un échantillon de tissus folklorique suédois reflète un morceau de tissage kente, tandis qu’une couverture graphique lapon repose confortablement près d’une couverture marocaine… Avec le dialogue est-ouest stagnant dans une mentalité isolationniste et une politique patriotique, le monde progresse vers une nouvelle vague… Ce livre n’est pas juste une mise en scène surprenante, taquinant nos yeux et chatouillant nos sens, mais un challenge d’ampleur géo-politique; un dialogue entre les continents, un échange de tradition et de commerce, un manifeste pour la rencontre des esprits. Ce jeune siècle verra le Nord et le Sud s’embrasser, déclenchant une inspiration pour des décennies à venir, vers un modernisme à la fois archaïque et contemporain.

Résumé:
ASIR Architekten in Stuttgart (2002) and ASIR Studio in Vancouver (2005) were founded by Inge Roecker, who has taught since January 2003 as an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver. At UBC she is currently conducting research and teaching a design studio in Vancouver’s Chinatown, which investigates potentials for preserving the historic Chinatown neighborhood while proposing concrete possibilities for transformations into contemporary uses. Through models, drawings and video projections, the catalogue's exhibition presents four buildings and ensembles in Germany as well as a selected research project in Vancouver’s Chinatown. All work is connected to the theme of urban dwelling. The projects are intended to conceptually and programmatically improve and sustain their surroundings as well as to present innovative solutions for urban living. The chosen projects place an emphasis on the mending of broken urban fabric, thus performing an ‘acupuncture’ on the city.

Résumé:
For forty years now, the architectural partnership of von Gerkan, Marg and Partners has been actve internationally. Volkwin Marg is on of the founders. He is neither a constructivist nor a deconstructivist, but inderstands architecture as a master builder's art. He bridges the cultural gap between rational technology and sensuous art by architectural-artistic synthesis of structural form-finding and interpretative form-giving. For him, the understanding of rational structure, and the understandability of architectural formal languages are the two sides of one and the same coin called architecture. The building and projects presented in this catalogue - stadiums, sports arenas, trade-fair complexes, bridges and towers - demonstrate the architect's joy in crative designing in co-operation with structural engineers.

Résumé:
Changing social structures and systems call for new forms of architecture. This book by the five-member team +RAMTV was written at the celebrated Design Research Laboratory of the Architectural Association in London. Taking Le Corbusier’s Unités d’habitation as their starting point, the authors develop a flexible system that permits them to take optimal account of social and cultural conditions in their design processes. The future residents inject their ideas into the discussion via the Internet and thus influence and, to some extent, newly generate their environment.
