Robert Venturi est reconnu comme l'un des grands architectes-théoriciens du XXe siècle. Vu depuis le Capitole (qui aurait tout aussi bien pu s'intituler De Michel-Ange à McDonald) rassemble dix-sept articles écrits avec son associée, Denise Scott Brown, entre 1953 et 1982, et publiés à l'origine dans des revues d'architecture. Ils y livrent leurs réflexions sur l'histoire de l'architecture depuis la Renaissance et le baroque et, concernant les XIXe et XXe siècles, évoquent aussi bien l'Ecole des beaux-arts que Frank Furness, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Alvar Aalto ou l'influence de la pop culture américaine sur l'architecture.

Résumé:
Until 2008 Nevada was the fastest-growing state in America. But the recession stopped this urbanizing gallop in the Mojave Desert, and Las Vegas froze at exactly the point where its aspirational excesses were most baroque and unfettered. In this third Radius Books installment of noted photographer Michael Light's aerial survey of the inhabited West, the photographer eschews the glare of the Strip to hover intimately over the topography of America's most fevered residential dream: castles on the cheap, some half-built, some foreclosed, some hanging on surrounded by golf courses gone bankruptcy brown, some still waiting to spring from empty cul-de-sacs.

Résumé:
This book analyzes not just buildings themselves, but the ideas and principles that make each of the featured structures so important to the history and evolution of our built environment. From ancient and classical architecture through medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance buildings, the explosion of Baroque and Rococo, and the 19th-century "battle of the styles," to the emergence of modernism, postmodernism, and the glittering skyscrapers of the 20th and 21st centuries, the book traces the evolution of construction. Using stunning infographics and mind-maps, it shows how architects throughout history have pushed boundaries and created innovative buildings. Examples of architectural movements and styles are drawn from all over the world.

Résumé:
L'architecte italien Luigi Moretti ne s'est pas contenté d'être un bâtisseur prolifique : il a aussi écrit tout au long de sa vie, infatigablement, de nombreux textes sur l'histoire et la théorie de l'architecture. Sa culture, immense, englobe des domaines aussi divers que l'histoire de l'Antiquité, l'architecture baroque, l'art abstrait et... les mathématiques. Sa réussite professionnelle et son appétit pour les savoirs issus de nombreuses disciplines lui ont permis de s'engager dans des activités culturelles qui dépassaient sa corporation : il fut ainsi contributeur de revues et d'ouvrages, commissaire d'exposition, galeriste, éditeur et fondateur, en 1957, de l'IRMOU, un institut pluridisciplinaire de recherche mathématique autour de la notion d'architecture « paramétrique. »

Résumé:
People have used honey, dates, and fruits to sweeten their dishes since time immemorial, but with the introduction of sugar white gold into cooking and baking, a whole array of delightful flavors and culinary possibilities was unearthed. Sugar was the building block for edible sculptures and model palaces made for festivals and celebrations thousands of years ago, and the main ingredient in lavish creations for Rococo and Baroque banquets. A life without cakes, pastries, tarts, soufflés, meringues, petits fours, or marzipan would be unimaginable! In ''Bon! Bon!'', Charlotte Birnbaum uncovers the wonderful world of all things sugary through surprising anecdotes and historical accounts, each accompanied by delectable recipes that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Résumé:
How can homes be upgraded to meet today’s demands – from living comfort to energy efficiency and digital requirements? How can the fusion of the historic and the new be used as a design element? The use of existing residential buildings scores not only with the charm of what has been handed down, be it a baroque villa, a 19th-century farmhouse, or a post-war bungalow, but actually also always with an excellent ecological balance. The extensive reworking, whether modernization, renovation or extension, is a widespread and thoroughly rewarding task for many architects. Since the initial situation is documented for each of the presented projects, the reader can clearly understand the redesign process.

Résumé:
The Eberswalde Library has been compared to a Warhol painting. Designed in collaboration with artist Thomas Ruff, it carries the idea of a pictorial façade further than any other Herzog & de Meuron project. The building is a simple cube sheathed in glazing and cast-concrete panels, arranged in horizontal bands. Each band shows a single image, repeated sixty-six times, like a static film strip. The images are drawn from Ruff’s own archive of newspaper photographs, and encompass the decorative, the symbolic, and the politically charged. Combining elements which have long been deemed incompatible – minimalism and ornament, purity and baroque fullness, concrete box and pictorial façade, space and surface – Herzog & de Meuron’s new library challenges the conventions of modernism.
