Résumé:
Alonso, Balaguer & Associated Architects, one of the most prolific offices in architecture today, presents in this publication their project philosophy through their most recent works, more than fifty projects and works in several cities and countries. The internationalization of their architectural and business concepts, exporting on a high level Spanish architecture in general, and demonstrating how, Catalonian architecture in particular, is opening a bright path ahead for projects of great repercussion and social significance. Presenting concepts such as the future of the compact city, the fifth skin of facade or the mixture of uses architecturally as a guarantee for a rich urban life are handled here as examples and references from their office.

Résumé:
With three new chapters, The Architecture of Community provides a contemporary road map for designing or completing today’s fragmented communities. Illustrated throughout with Krier’s original drawings, The Architecture of Community explains his theories on classical and vernacular urbanism and architecture, while providing practical design guidelines for creating livable towns. The book contains descriptions and images of the author’s built and unbuilt projects, including the Krier House and Tower in Seaside, Florida, as well as the town of Poundbury in England. Commissioned by the Prince of Wales in 1988, Krier’s design for Poundbury in Dorset has become a reference model for ecological planning and building that can meet contemporary needs.

Résumé:
Founded in Los Angeles in 1998, GRAFT is a global architectural practice which now maintains branches in Berlin and Beijing. The international practice, which is involved in architectural, urban, and product design – as well as branding – is known for its experimental and interdisciplinary designs as well as for its strong social commitment. The publication will document only projects characteristic of this social responsibility – it portrays architecture as an active tool for driving, in a global context, the development of places worth living in. One key project is the Solar Kiosk developed in 2012, a high-output, solar-based unit which is already used by many communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to secure their power supply.

Résumé:
Architecture Drawing Topology presents an extensive body of drawings and texts and their complex relationalities, ranging from ontology to history. These relationalities have been developed in response to the natural topography of the Greek island of Hydra, and tested in the urban landscape of Berlin, Paris and Tokyo. Through constellations that are both real and virtual, the collection is composed of numerous highly detailed drawings. The diverse drawings express a complex and ambiguous field of significations, instrumentalizing an open production of meaning. Positions, relations, orders, levels, dimensions, energies, and processes are discovered as a new field of possibilities, creating an architecture of the event.

Résumé:
Paul Andreu (1938-2018) est une figure majeure de la scène architecturale internationale de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Il a notamment marqué l'architecture des aérogares au cours de sa longue carrière au sein d'Aéroports de Paris, avec l'emblématique aéroport de Roissy 1, puis Roissy 2, mais aussi avec sa production en Asie, au Japon et en Chine, où il fut l'un des premiers Français à s'imposer, que ce soit avec l'aéroport de Kansai, en 1988, ou encore l'opéra de Pékin, inauguré en 2007. Fondée sur une exigence constante de fonctionnalité et de rationalité technique, l'oeuvre de cet architecte et ingénieur est ancrée sur la notion de seuil, de passage et de transformation, qui met en jeu des principes fondamentaux : la terre et le ciel, l'Orient et l'Occident, la pensée et la matière. A travers ses recherches sur l'espace et le temps, la croissance organique, les ombres et les lumières, l'immobilité et le mouvement, Paul Andreu semble poursuivre une recherche essentielle sur la question de l'envol, du corps et de l'esprit, qu'il soit physique, symbolique ou poétique.

Résumé:
Illnesses, wellness, and architecture are inseparable. Medical professionals and architects have always been in a kind of dance, often influencing one another, though the dance is not always synchronized. Drawing from a wide range of historical and contemporary case studies from ancient Greece to twentieth-century India to present-day New York City, Sick Architecture highlights a topic that has shaped our lives from the very beginnings of architecture to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. "Sick Architecture" goes beyond the sicknesses recognized by the medical profession to ask: What aspects of society may be ill, in need of care, or subject to pathologization? Similarly the book goes beyond physical buildings and cities to interrogate architecture’s policy protocols and spatial logics.
