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:
Travel the cities of the world alongside some of their oldest citizens, exploring the trees of Buenos Aires to Berlin, San Francisco to Sydney, in this visually stunning, modern glossary of our city trees. Through finding a Kentucky yellowwood in Hannover, the 1,000-year-old olive trees in Athens or even the world’s tallest trees that line the West Coast of North America, we come to learn the hidden histories of places that are wrapped up in these botanical giants. Brought to life by beautiful artwork, Urban Arboreal is an ode to urban trees and the cherished place they hold in the hearts of city dwellers – not least because they are vital to the very air we breathe.

Résumé:
What is it that gives places their individual qualities and defines the life of a city? Architects and urbanists are accustomed to describing and creating the organizational structures, the layouts and physical attributes of our cities. But what are the relations between the design of a city—its form—and the life engendered by that form? Responding to this question is the inspiration for In the Life of Cities. Contributors from a wide range of fields address the role and life of cities as diverse as Baku, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Detroit, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Paris, Quito, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Tirana, and Toronto. Portfolios of contemporary photography present the layered realities of urban life today.

Résumé:
The "Precisions", as the book is commonly known, emerged from a spontaneous and exuberant series of 10 lectures Le Corbusier gave in Buenos Aires in 1929, reflecting a new maturity in his thinking. They contain some of his most compelling aphorisms, covering technique as the basis of architecture, the human scale in design, furniture, the private house, apartments and office buildings, the city, the League of Nations competition, teaching architecture. As he spoke, Le Corbusier improvised colour drawings on large sheets of paper. The drawings and lectures are unique in their eloquent and concise summary of his philosophy of architecture and urban design, stating the principles that informed his work from the 1920s on.

Résumé:
De l’Iran à la Chine, de Beyrouth à Rio, des îles Grecques au Texas, Philippe Trétiack parcourt le monde pour y récolter autant de règles d’architecture que d’histoires. En voici 56, échevelées, dures et exotiques, concrètes et désopilantes. Après son fameux Faut-il pendre les architectes ? nous voici pris sous le feu de snippers à Abidjan, envoûtés par une danseuse du ventre au Caire, précipités dans des émeutes à Buenos Aires, ficelés dans un side-car de compétition, terrifiés par le Président Poutine à Moscou… Manuel de globe-trotter et de déconstruction mené à cent à l’heure, L’Architecture à toute vitesse fait de l’irrévérence une vertu, et transforme l’architecture en une réflexion personnelle sur un monde absurde où les portes claquent comme des coups de feu.

Résumé:
In 2008, Leonardo Finotti was invited by MoMA's chief curator, Barry Bergdoll, to be part of a tribute exhibition for a landmark survey of modern architecture in Latin America shown in 1955.

''Latin American Modern Architecture'' is part of an ongoing series by one of the leading architectural photographers worldwide. It presents nearly eighty images of Finotti's photographic vision of undiscovered Latin American modern architecture and offers an important overview of the region. Collecting visits, stories, experiences, and photographs, the research took place in diverse latitudes, eight of them published in this book: Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Valparaiso, Sa o Paulo, Bogota , Caracas, Me xico City, and Havana.
