Résumé:
Du gazon "américain"?! Une pelouse en guerre?! De Pearl Harbor à la Crise des missiles cubains?! Pour Beatriz Colomina, historienne de l'architecture à l'université de Princeton, le mythe patriotique du carré de pelouse (lawn) et le combat jardinier quotidien pour le maintien et l'embellissement de cette interface domestique de la famille et de la communauté reflètent une certaine conception du sol américain et de son paysage. Mais ils révèlent surtout une conception de la démocratie et de ses valeurs associées : libertés fondamentales, propriété privée et poursuite du bonheur, trilogie littéralement boostée durant la phase d'émergence de l'Americain Way of Life et de la Cold War. En menant une enquête visuelle et culturelle aussi serrée que passionnante, l'historienne répond à ces trois questions.

Résumé:
Peter C. Bunnell has been a major force in shaping the discourse about photography. During his 30-some years as an influential professor and curator at Princeton University, he has written extensively. This classic collection of texts, available for the first time in paperback and selected from work published throughout his career, makes a significant contribution to the field that he has helped to establish. In each of the 34 essays, which are devoted to individual (predominantly American) photographers and three galleries that played a key role in the recognition and marketing of Modern photography, Bunnell brings to bear his distinctive sensibility and insight. While encouraging the reader to see previously overlooked aspects of the images he discusses so eloquently, he also provides an invaluable historical context for the photographers and their work.

Résumé:
In the summer of 1975, NASA brought together a team of physicists, engineers, and space scientists—along with architects, urban planners, and artists—to design large-scale space habitats for millions of people. This Summer Study was led by Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill, whose work on this topic had previously been funded by countercultural icon Stewart Brand’s Point Foundation. Two painters, the artist and architect Rick Guidice and the planetary science illustrator Don Davis, created renderings for the project that would be widely circulated over the next years and decades and even included in testimony before a Congressional subcommittee. A product of its time, this work is nevertheless relevant to contemporary modes of thinking about architecture. ''Space Settlements'' examines these plans for life in space as serious architectural and spatial proposals.

Résumé:
Steven Holl celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of his landmark book "Anchoring with Compression," a collection of thirty-five major projects from the past decade. Holl applies concepts from neuroscience, literature, social science, and philosophy to develop the idea of compression: the condensation of material and social forces to create meaningful and sustainable architecture. A diverse roster of international works includes an expansion of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston ; academic facilities for Columbia University, Princeton University, and the Glasgow School of Art; urban plans; a harbor gateway for Copenhagen; and an extension of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. All demonstrate Holl's poetic attention to light, space, and water; a subtle and tactile employment of material and color; and an awareness of architecture's potential to connect people through inspiring public spaces.

Résumé:
Beatrix Farrand: Private Gardens, Public Landscapes presents the life and work of one of the foremost landscape designers of the early 1900s. Born into a prominent New York family (she was the niece of Edith Wharton), Farrand eschewed the traditional social life of the Gilded Age to pursue her passion for landscape and plants. Many of her clients were members of the highest echelon of society with estates in Newport, the Berkshires, and Maine, but Farrand ultimately became a consultant for university campuses, including Yale and Princeton, and for public gardens, including the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Rose Garden at The New York Botanical Garden. Perhaps her best-known work is the extensive garden at Dumbarton Oaks, originally a private residence and now a research institute of Harvard University.

Résumé:
Five years ago, the American Institute of Graphic Arts launched Fresh Dialogue, a series aimed at bringing together emerging design talent and providing them with an open forum to discuss their own work and the direction of the field. This year's participants come from the disparate worlds of fashion, publishing, web design, advertising, and art: Alice Chung and Karen Hsu founded the design firm Omnivore and have collaborated with the Whitney Museum and the Princeton University School of Architecture. Agnieszka Gasparska has produced award-winning work for LEGO, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Experience Music Project. Rodrigo Corral has pursued a fresh look for fiction in his book covers for Farrar, Strauss – Giroux and independently for Rodrigo Corral Design. Alan Dye was design director and partner at B.I.G. (Ogilvy – Mather's Brand Integration Group) before joining Kate Spade as design director.

Résumé:
How do the spaces in which science is done shape the identity of the scientist and the self-conception of scientific fields? How do the sciences structure the identity of the architect and the practice of architecture in a specific period? And how does the design of spaces such as laboratories, hospitals, and museums affect how the public perceives and interacts with the world of science? « The Architecture of Science » offers a dazzling set of speculations on these issues by historians of science, architecture, and art; architectural theorists; and sociologists as well as practicing scientists and architects. The essays are organized into six sections: "Of Secrecy and Openness: Science and Architecture in Early Modern Europe"; "Displaying and Concealing Technics in the Nineteenth Century"; "Modern Space"; "Is Architecture Science?"; "Princeton after Modernism: The Lewis Thomas Laboratory for Molecular Biology"; and "Centers, Cities, and Colliders."

Résumé:
The newest title in the Princeton Architectural Press Campus Guide series takes readers on a tour of Smith College. Founded in 1871 as one of the first full-fledged colleges for women, Smith is known for its beautiful campus set in an idyllic New England landscape. A walk around its grounds is like a comprehensive tour through American architecture from the eighteenth century to the present. The campus includes such diverse buildings as Peabody – Stearn's Queen Anne-style College Hall; the neo-Georgian Quadrangle by Ames, Dodge and Putnam; Skidmore, Owings – Merrill's International Style Cutter and Ziskind houses; as well as the postmodern Bass Science Center and Young Science Library by Shepley, Bullfinch, Richardson, and Abbott. The university's most recent additions include the Brown Fine Arts Center, designed by the Polshek Partnership; the Olin Fitness Center, by Leers Weinzapfel Associates; and the Campus Center by Weiss/Manfredi.
