Located in the rural areas outside of bustling Buenos Aires, the commercial establishments - butcheries, bakeries, bars, repair shops, garages, dry cleaners - depicted in this collection by photographer Guillermo Srodek-Hart appear steeped in history and are packed with details dripping with colour. These photographs, shot with a large-format camera, are imbued with a narrative power not unlike an Edward Hopper painting.

Cet ouvrage exauce enfin le vœu de Le Corbusier de voir éditées les six conférences qu'il prononça à Rio de Janeiro en août 1936.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage exauce enfin le vœu de Le Corbusier de voir éditées les six conférences qu'il prononça à Rio de Janeiro en août 1936. Après les dix conférences de Buenos Aires, en 1929, publiées dans Précisions sur un état présent de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme (1930), cet inédit est le deuxième recueil de conférences de l'architecte. Et, comme ce fut le cas à Alger, Moscou, Bruxelles, Athènes, Paris, Stockholm, Rome, Buenos Aires, São Paulo ou Montevideo, ces conférences jouèrent un rôle central dans la propagation de ses idées sur l'architecture et l'urbanisme. L'importance de ce recueil tient au fait qu'il permet de mesurer le chemin parcouru par Le Corbusier entre 1929 et 1936, l'évolution de sa " technique " de conférencier - comme il la nomme - et celle de ses idées au cours de ces années particulièrement critiques pour l'Europe et pour le monde. Enfin, à travers les propos transcrits, la reproduction des dessins et des projections, on peut non seulement suivre la manière dont Le Corbusier transmettait son message, mais aussi reconstituer le temps et le rythme des conférences, les commentaires qu'il improvisait en restituent l'ambiance et les moments d'intensité.

Résumé:
Depuis plusieurs années, les villes cherchent à "réinvestir" leurs quartiers portuaires, les privant parfois du charme qui faisait leur singularité. Paradoxalement, le port est un peu l'antithèse du voyage : c'est la ville de ceux qui restent. Mais on ne rêve jamais aussi bien qu'à quai. L'auteur propose ainsi un itinéraire à l'envers du décor, teinté d'imaginaire. De la(...)

Résumé:
Through a reading of the landscape and the topographical structure, Mathias Klotz implements his architectural programme with plastic sensitivity, confirming the importance of the construction and the materials. His reference models range from those of Mies van der Rohe and of those architects active in California after World War II. The Ponce house in Buenos Aires is one of the best expressions of his talent, which shows his skill as an architect who is coherent in his choice of materials, confident in employing them and overt in exhibiting them.

Résumé:
Renowned for being a universal designer, Santiago Calatrava has been a singular force in reviving an excitement for construction technology and infrastructure projects. Over the last two decades, Calatrava revolutionized the idea of bridges from utilitarian, mechanical instruments into elegant objects that enhance the sense of place and community of their settings. More than thirty celebrated bridges are featured here in drawings and full-color photography, including never-before-published projects such as the Woodall Rodgers Bridge in Dallas, the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California, as well as bridges in Barcelona, Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem, Manchester, the Netherlands, Orléans, Paris, Seville, and Valencia.
