Résumé:
Even in this age of varied home entertainment and fast-paced mass media, creative energy is being directed towards new spaces for live performance. Illustrated with photographs, computer renderings and architectural drawings, "Performing Architecture" explores fifty of contemporary performance spaces, as well as recently refurbished, restored and transformed buildings. A brief introduction traces the post-war development of theatre and concert hall design, and sets out the circumstances today that have led to such a rich provision for performance. Buildings featured range from Frank Gehry’s Disney Opera House in Los Angeles to the Unicorn Theatre for Children in London; and from the Tenerife Opera House by Santiago Calatrava to the Guangzhou Opera House, China, by Zaha Hadid.

Résumé:
Ce livre, richement illustré, veut rendre compte de la diversité des édifices dévolus à la pratique du sport et contribuer à la connaissance des enjeux et des contraintes relatifs à leur création. Conçu comme un outil de travail pour les maîtres d'ouvrage et les maîtres d'œuvre, il propose des solutions pour concevoir des opérations tenant compte de la diversité des activités et des espaces de pratique. Du choix de l'implantation à la réalisation des équipements, la question de la conception est définie à travers les impératifs socio-économiques et les spécificités techniques et fonctionnelles des différents types d'équipements. La première partie attire l'attention sur les problématiques spécifiques rencontrées au cours de l'élaboration d'un projet d'installation sportive, et souligne les besoins liés à la pratique du sport et les attentes des usagers ainsi que les précautions de conception, de mise en assure et de sécurité dont il convient de s'entourer pour aborder la construction d'équipements sportifs. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage réunit quinze réalisations exemplaires, françaises et étrangères, d'échelle variée - grands stades, piscine olympique, patinoire, mais aussi équipements de proximité tels que dojo, gymnases ou salles d'escalade - et représentatives des tendances actuelles de l'architecture sportive.

Résumé:
The popular image of the winery remains the picturesque European chateau, but a growing number of winemakers around the world are seeking a fresh approach. Architects are being challenged to rethink the winery as a bold contemporary expression of tradition and innovation, agriculture and technology, production and hospitality: powerful architecture with a serious purpose. This book by well-known architectural writer Michael Webb contains a selection of wineries designed by architects such as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Steven Holl, Herzog & de Meuron, Santiago Calatrava, Rafael Moneo, Glenn Murcutt, Norman Foster and more. Each project has been carefully chosen for its architectural excellence and offers a new perspective on an age-old craft, and an adventurous approach to building. The locations are evocative: California, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Austria, Spain, Chile and Argentina.

Résumé:
Architect and photographer Gary Chang spends about 120 days a year traveling all over the world, but he doesn't stay at just any hotel. He plans his trips with exhaustive research on the hotels of his destination and even stays at several different ones during the same trip to one city. His favorite hotels are those places that have a certain special quality, ranging from New York's kitschy Maritime to Budapest's classic Gellert to Zurich's brand-spanking new Zurichberg. Chang's most-loved finds are documented in beautiful photographs, his hand drawn floor plans, and personal texts in Hotel as Home. He presents thirty-five hotels from around the world in this atmospheric book — from the Hotel 101 in Reykjavik to the Hotel Le Corbusier in Marseilles, the Soho House Hotel in New York, the W Hotel in Sydney, the Four Seasons in Tokyo, and the Hotel Metropolitan in Bangkok.

Résumé:
Architecture affects people. The architecture of hospitals contributes to the well-being and recovery of patients. This bold proposition dates back to the late 18th century, and has been a recurring theme in the functional development of hospital architecture ever since. The most recent manifestation of this was the phenomenon of 'Evidence-Based Design', which originated in the USA. This methodology compares the effects of various spatial factors and provided indisputable evidence that architecture does indeed work for the first time. The positive influence of architecture is one of the two cornerstones of "The architecture of hospitals". The other is architecture as an historical discipline with a wide-ranging cultural dimension. The hospital, being a public and representative building with a special societal function, is the ideal vehicle to express this cultural dimension. From French and German examples it seems that good architecture can, moreover, contribute to an agreeable, orderly and well maintained environment, which perhaps has a greater impact on the functioning of the hospital than the effects of Evidence-Based Design. Architecture as architecture and as medicine is the theme of "The architecture of hospitals". Partially based on a project of the same name initiated by the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), which included various conferences, studios and workshops, the book bears no resemblance to the standard bundle of conference proceedings. Instead it is a richly illustrated publication which is constructed around five themes : culture, healthcare concepts, Evidence-Based Design, technology and country-specific presentations. With texts by : Cor Wagenaar (ed.), Abram de Swaan, Stephen Verderber, Charles Jencks, Aaron Betsky, Roger Ulrich et al.

Résumé:
Culminant à soixante mètres d'altitude, la colline de Chaillot est un des points hauts, naturels, qui dominent la vallée de la Seine à Paris. Par sa situation " admirable ", elle fait longtemps rêver les puissants et leurs architectes. De nombreux projets grandioses - équipements de prestige ou monuments à la gloire des pouvoirs en place - s'y succèdent. Aucun ne voit cependant le jour et le Trocadéro devient progressivement un lieu de fêtes urbaines. Les premiers aménagements significatifs de la colline sont conçus pour l'Exposition universelle de 1867. Ces aménagements - qui contribuent grandement à la formation du luxueux quartier de Chaillot à partir des années 1870 - préfigurent ceux qui sont réalisés à l'occasion des Expositions suivantes de 1878 et de 1937. Le palais du Trocadéro est le premier grand édifice parisien conservé à l'issue d'une Exposition universelle. Il inaugure une tradition qui permet à Paris de s'enrichir par la suite de la Tour Eiffel (1889), du Grand Palais, du Petit Palais et de la gare d'Orsay (1900), du musée des Colonies (1931) puis du nouveau palais du Trocadéro : le palais de Chaillot (1937). Du palais du Trocadéro au palais de Chaillot, voici l'histoire de transformations considérables et durables, des hommes qui les ont mises en œuvre et des débats qu'elles ont soulevés.
