Résumé:
In 2012, the international congress ‘Architecture: The Common’ was held in Pamplona, presented by Norman Foster. It appealed to civic solidarity as an instrument of architecture in facing the urgent economic and environmental challenges of today. This publication is a record of the event through the interviews conducted by four prominent critics – Peter Buchanan, François Chaslin, Juli Capella and Kosme de Barañano – with the participating speakers, including Eduardo Souto de Moura, Rafael Moneo, Ann Heringer, Roger Diener and others. In this way, it covers a broad spectrum of contemporary sensibilities in architectural practice.

Résumé:
How, in a turbulent century, was Le Corbusier able to reinvent himself at least five times? How was he able to become the Picasso (or Duchamp) of architecture? How was he able to produce work in a regional Art Nouveau mode, then become a leader of the Modern Movement and International Style, then switch to primitive materials and Brutalism before pre-empting Post-Modernism through Ronchamp and Chandigarh, and pre-empting High-Tech and Complexity Architecture through the Centre Le Corbusier and the Philips Pavilion? How?’ These transformations were helped along by the way Le Corbusier was able to cross ideas from one medium to another. A work of architecture could be considered as a written text, a drawing, a model, a photograph, a sculpture, a painting or a detailed set of plans. Each medium challenged, clarified and refined the idea from different viewpoints. Each medium made use of different neurons, of different parts of his mind. The result? Continuous creation from different perspectives, a continual reinvention of architecture. This book brings together leading scholars to explore Le Corbusier’s tactics of self-reinvention, his relationship to the artistic avant-garde and his work as a multimedia practitioner. It also contains an English-language edition of Le Corbusier's 'Poème de l’Angle Droit', complete with beautiful colour lithographs. Authors include Tim Benton, Peter Carl, Hilde Heynen, Charles Jencks, Mohsen Mostafavi, Daniel Naegele, Fernando Pérez Oyarzun, and Stanislaus von Moos.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage réunit l'œuvre de plusieurs architectes contemporains qui se sont tournés vers l'univers minéral à al recherche de solutions aux diverses problématiques du design. Des modèles d'organisation structurelle des cristaux jusqu'à la forme du relief terrestre, les différentes approches de la nature minérale servent à apporter de nombreuses clés à l'architecture : des solutions pratiques aux problèmes structurels, une meilleure adaptation de l'édifice à son environnement ou des règles de croissance des unités architectoniques, à des échelles distinctes. Cette sélection de réalisations architecturales conçues à partir d'interprétations personnelles du monde minéral, est complétée par quelques réflexions qui invitent à rechercher de nouvelles manières de faire l'architecture, en prenant comme point de départ l'étude de la géologie.

Résumé:
Finding your way around Sami building culture and architecture can be a challenge, as the material is scattered and sometimes inaccessible. This book is intended as both an introduction and a guide to deepening one's knowledge of the subject - in North Sami, Norwegian and English. In October 2021, the National Museum opened an exhibition of architect and artist Joar Nango's nomadic architectural library Girjegumpi. During the opening weekend, the museum organized a seminar on Sami architecture, and the lectures from the seminar are the basis for the book. Here you can read more about Nango's work Girjegumpi, Sami building practices, the treatment of the Sami in the history of architecture in Norway, how reconstruction and Norwegianization went hand in hand, the phenomenon of kjempelávvu, and also get an overview of Sami architecture on the Norwegian side of Sápmi.
