Résumé:
In this volume in the "Pamphlet Architecture" series, the authors examine common architectural forms (chairs, doors, and walls) and programs (a cinema, a health club, a skyscraper) in order to dissect and reconfigure them. In the process they create ten new projects that draw their power from an oscillation between the recognizable and the surreal. Cleverly undermining the conventions and norms of contemporary architectural design, the authors pose a direct challenge to the seemingly endless search for new styles, arguing instead that the greatest potential for architecture in the twenty-first century rests on an imaginative examination of what we take for granted. Designed by the authors, "Situation Normal..." weaves together text, photographs, and drawings. An introductory essay establishes the theoretical and historical position of the book.

"On a l'impression qu'une partie de l'art actuel concourt à un travail de dissuasion, à un travail de deuil de l'imaginaire, à un travail de deuil esthétique, la plupart du temps raté, ce qui entraîne une mélancolie générale de la sphère artistique, dont il semble qu'elle se survive dans le recyclage de son histoire et de ses vestiges (mais ni l'art ni(...)

Résumé:
This book is a reissue in a single clothbound edition of the first ten issues of Pamphlet Architecture, most of which have long been out of print. The Pamphlet Architecture series was founded in 1978 by architects Steven Holl and William Stout as a venue for publishing the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects. Each issue was written, illustrated, and designed by a single architect, which gives each its unique character. Architects include Steven Holl, Lars Lerup, Mark Mack, Lebbeus Woods, Zaha Hadid, Livio Dimitriu, and Alberto Sartoris.

Résumé:
"Comme la conjonction du sous-titre de cet essai l'indique, l'idée est de poser et d'explorer une relation entre certaines formes d'architecture et les expériences totalitaires de notre siècle. C'est marquer d'emblée une distance à l'égard des stratégies de dissociation ou de disjonction entre deux ordres de phénomènes." Miguel Abensour

Résumé:
The Zurich architect couple Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer are known for creating places for intense contemplation. After the Kirchner Museum at Davos, the extension of the Winterthur art museum, the renovation of the Winterthur collection Oskar Reinhart, their new museum project at Appenzell also exhibits a powerful, idiosyncratic sense of aesthetics. The Museum Liner, dedicated to the Appenzell painters Carl August and Carl Walter Liner, father and son, presents itself as a sculptural design: the very antithesis to descriptive postmodern architecture that threatens to draw attention away from the exhibits, this museum by Gigon and Guyer rests on the imperative of clear stereometrics and neutral spaces. In a rather subtle way, the architects succeeded in both integrating the new structure into the rural surroundings and the surroundings into the building. The fragile balance of mutual integration and partial participation may well serve as a metaphor for the difficult relationship between life and art. This book features the building, completed in 1998, in a photographic sequence by Gaston Wicky and textual essays by Hubertus Adam and Peter Dering.
