Résumé:
If you can set up your laptop anywhere, what is the meaning of the dedicated workspace? 'New work, new workspace' argues that designated space is still needed, but that it is changing fast. As collaborative interaction is favoured over individual toil, with millenials and Gen X taking a very different attitude to work, and as social upheaval and technological innovation influence the form nthat the places take in which we are employed forever. Metrics for measuring the effectiveness of workspace show that good design, which is focused on the environment and wellbeing that a workforce needs, is still valued. At the same time, more generic spaces, such as co-working spaces, have to fit everyone – or at least all of the target community. Detailed case studies showcase all the places where people work – in large and small offices, in home spaces, in ateliers and workshops and architects’ studios.

Résumé:
In all debates on school system reform, teaching methods, care facilities for young children or individual funding opportunities, educational objectives are almost always at the fore. The more often issues of all-day schooling and inclusion are dealt with, the more important spatial concepts and aspects of aesthetics become. Results of international performance tests and findings from the field of developmental psychology have revealed the considerable influence that quality architecture exerts – from professional handling of design, colours, light and more to one’s ability to learn, including self-determined learning and working. Therefore, the time has come for architects to deal with these issues and to familiarise themselves with the appropriate design principles. In addition to brief theoretical asides, the latest volume from the “best of Detail” series provides a wide range of completed projects – from crèche to high school and community centres for children to youth centres – that demonstrate fascinating solutions for diverse construction projects for children and adolescents.

Résumé:
Créés en 1959, les Villages Vacances Familles, pionniers en France du tourisme social, proposent aux familles un nouveau type d’hébergement de villégiature : le village de vacances en location avec services. Ils bénéficient de l’essor du tourisme de masse des Trente Glorieuses et leur succès ne se fait pas attendre. C’est ainsi qu’en trente ans, près de cent cinquante VVF sont construits partout en France. Cet ouvrage propose pour la première fois un regard sur ces constructions originales. Après un essai sur cette aventure sociale et architecturale, ce deuxième « Carnet d’architecture » examinera plus en détail les réalisations de six architectes ou agences, dont l’Atelier d’urbanisme et d’architecture (AUA), André Gomis ou encore Maurice Novarina. Un répertoire des 135 villages créés entre 1959 et 1989 complètera ce panorama.

Cet ouvrage expose quelques-uns des espaces infantiles les plus innovateurs et amusants construits dans le monde entier, proposant des exemples de crèches, de parcs pour enfants ou de zones d'expositions dans des musées. Tous ces projets promeuvent l'intérêt des plus petits envers l'art. Les enfants, leurs nécessités et leur développement sont les éléments clés pour la conception des projets sélectionnés, illustrés avec de grandes photographies, des plans et décrits par des textes qui expliquent le processus de conception et les inspirations des architectes.

As populations steadily increase in cities, the world's natural resources are consumed at ever-faster rates. The majority of the world's populations live in countries where clean water supplies are dwindling, and these water shortages are also quickly translating into food shortages. What can designers do to avert looming water-related realities? UrbanLab: Bowling views potential water crises as opportunities to speculate on future urban design possibilities, especially in cities. Several projects are presented that take an ecological approach to re-thinking received urban design methodologies of addressing the design of water-related infrastructures in existing and new cities.

Résumé:
À quoi tient aujourd’hui la légitimité de la prison ? Au tournant sécuritaire commandé par la réaction néolibérale, assurément. Mais aussi à la croyance que la prison est perfectible, envers et contre tout. Régulièrement, des « prisons modèles » s’évertuent à raviver une utopie pénitentiaire moribonde. Les discours qui les accompagnent font miroiter la possibilité d’un enfermement enfin avantageux sinon salutaire, comme si jusqu’ici, par manque d’imagination, de volonté et de moyens, l’on n’avait pas vraiment essayé. C’est oublier une histoire jalonnée de diverses tentatives, parfois grandioses, qui donne toutes les raisons d’en douter. Pour nous la remémorer, ce livre effectue une vaste mise en perspective dans le temps et l’espace. De Genève à Pékin en passant par Londres ou Saint-Pétersbourg, du début du XIXe siècle à nos jours, il rappelle des cas célèbres ou méconnus de « prisons modèles » qui, d’abord encensées, ont tourné au fiasco.

Résumé:
Although new technologies appear poised to alter it, the library remains a powerful site for discovery, and its form is still determined by the geometry of the book and the architectural spaces devised to store and display it. American Libraries provides a history and panorama of these much-loved structures, inside and out, encompassing the small personal collection, the vast university library, and everything in between. Through 500 photographs and plans selected from the encyclopedic collections of the Library of Congress, Kenneth Breisch traces the development of libraries in the United States, from roots in such iconic examples as the British Library and Paris’s Bibliothèque-Ste.-Geneviève to institutions imbued with their own, American mythology. Starting with the private collections of wealthy merchants and landowners during the eighteenth century, the book looks at the Library of Congress, large and small public libraries, and the Carnegie libraries, and it ends with a glimpse of modern masterworks.

Through exquisite drawings and storytelling, Julia Jacquette's graphic memoir provides a distinctive account of her childhood in Manhattan in the 1960s and 1970s. Inspired by the adventure playgrounds from her youth growing up in New York City, the painter Julia Jacquette explores the brightly colored structures of the play spaces and the surrounding landscape of the city in Playground of My Mind. With compelling illustrations and personal narrative, this book features adventure playgrounds created by architects Richard Dattner, M. Paul Friedberg, the partnership Ross Ryan Jacquette in New York City, and Aldo van Eyck in Amsterdam. These structures encouraged constructive, imaginative play and gave renewed life to utopian notions of American and European modernist architecture.

Résumé:
The Murrays have been capturing impeccable photographs from the streets of New York City since the 1990s. With Store Front II they’ve continued their documentation of an important cross-section of New York’s “Mom and Pop” economy. The Murray’s penetrating photographs are only half the story though. Their copious background texts, gleaned largely from interviews with the stores’ owners and employees, bring wonderful color and nuance to the importance of these unique one-off establishments. The Murrays have rendered the out of the way bodegas, candy shops and record stores just as faithfully as the historically important institutions and well known restaurants, bars and cafes. From the Stonewall Inn to the Brownsville Bike Shop and The Pink Pussycat to Smith and Wolensky, the Murrays reveal how New York’s long-standing businesses stand in sharp contrast to the city’s rapidly evolving corporate facade.
