Résumé:
"Understanding sustainable architecture" is a concise review of the assumptions, beliefs, goals and bodies of knowledge that underlie the endeavor to design environmentally sustainable buildings and other built environments. The authors set out a coherent framework within which they discuss the important ethical, cultural, and conceptual issues of sustainable architecture. Through a series of self-reflective questions, the importance of ecological, social, and built contexts is argued, and problem framing is linked to succesful practice.

Résumé:
Aucun autre architecte de l'histoire de l'art occidental n'a provoqué de suites aussi spontanées que persistantes au cours des siècles qu'Andrea Palladio. Le dit palladiennisme fait sauter toutes les frontières des formes particulières du paysage artistique. Il ne s'étend pas seulement aux pays romans, mais saisit de la même façon l'Allemagne, les Pays-Bas, la Scandinavie, les pays d'Europe de l'est, et fonde une des racines les plus importantes de l'architecture anglaise des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Et bien que Palladio se soit concentré sur la «pure» architecture pendant toute son oeuvre, les formes qu'il a créées ont marqué d'autres domaines de leur empreinte, notamment celui des meubles d'art anglais du XIXe siècle.

Introducing a different architectural approach that transcends fixed notions of style, this book emphasizes seeing and enhancing the close connections that link both architect and occupant as well as the material, symbolic, and human aspects of designed spaces. It draws from the rich realm of archetypal psychology to show how in moving from inside out—from people's activities, dreams, and desires to the creation of space—architecture can be truly transformative.

Résumé:
The German architect Rudolf Schwarz (1897–1961) numbers among the leading masters of church architecture in the twentieth century. Inspired by the Catholic Youth Movement, Schwarz designed more than forty religious buildings after 1924 and played an integral role in Cologne’s reconstruction in the aftermath of World War II. In addition, he made a name for himself as the author of fundamental texts on sacred architecture. Praised by Mies van der Rohe as “designed order full of meaning,” Schwarz’s architecture was intended to house religious contemplation. He became famous for his vast, light-filled spaces, minimalist in form yet overflowing with symbolism. This volume documents Schwarz’s transformative sacred buildings in Germany and Austria alongside his collaborations with visual artists such as Ewald Mataré and Georg Meistermann.

Résumé:
Leon van Schaik AO, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University for 30 years and mentor to countless Australian architects, lays down his highly influential creative philosophies in his latest book, ''Architecture in its Continuums.'' The text represents a distillation of a lifetime of thinking about architecture and the ways in which it is practiced, researched and taught. The book remediates a gap that van Schaik sees in current architecture writing. There are, he says, ''very few books on architecture that, I believe, concern the practice of architecture itself, as distinct from the large body of writing about the history, sociology and environmental science of architecture.'' Van Schaik contends that we all share a common experience of space and light. Therefore, the architect's skill in the crafting of space and light has the potential to intimately connect architecture with humanity.
