Résumé:
"Singapore Architecture" portrays the intruiging architectural heritage of Asia's crossroads city. Singapore's exotic mix of people and colourful history is reflected in the city's architecture. The early temples, shop houses, and colonial monuments are documented, through to the growth of the modern city and a skyline which reflects Singapore's role as a global city. The broad spectrum of Singapore's buildings is displayed with private houses, public buildings, public housing, shrines, mosques and office towers. The major landmark buildings of downtown Singapore have been designed by celebrated international architects. The recent work of local architects represents a unique and dynamic mix of cross-cultural influences, combining Asian style with a thorough knowledge of Modern architecture.

Résumé:
Les revendications féministes actuelles dans le domaine de l’architecture s’enracinent dans des décennies de réflexion critique, de militantisme politique, théorique et professionnel. Documentant l’engagement de plusieurs générations de penseurs-euses féministes, cette anthologie fait entendre quelques-unes des voix pionnières qui se sont élevées pour interroger le champ de l’architecture dans toutes ses dimensions, ses mécanismes sociaux, ses modes de production intellectuelle et professionnelle. Publiés entre 1977 et 1999, les douze textes fondateurs sélectionnés et présentés par la chercheuse Stéphanie Dadour éclairent un moment oublié de l’histoire de l’architecture nord-américaine. À une période où des notions fondamentales comme genre, intersectionnalité et queer sont forgées et progressivement introduites en architecture, les discours croisés de ces praticien-nes, théoricien-nes, historien-nes ou commissaires d’expositions dessinent un mouvement collectif qui n’existait pas auparavant et qui marquera indéfectiblement la littérature architecturale ultérieure.

Résumé:
What do we love about gardens, and what can landscape architecture be today? Guido Hager has been exploring these questions throughout the twenty-five years of his professional career. Based on an exhibition at Architekturforum Zürich, Hager has collected his ideas, insights, and experiences into a book featuring over three hundred illustrations and an abundance of creative thoughts on over sixty gardens, parks, squares, streets, and promenades. This publication provides a variety of perspectives on the garden in general as well as on the tradition of historical gardens. Hager shows how this garden culture has been translated into contemporary concepts that take site-specific contexts into consideration, reflecting on how structures can be designed to fit into a neighborhood, how they advance architecture, and whether or not they can simultaneously both stimulate and calm the senses.

Résumé:
L’Institut de la Vision, ouvert en mars 2008 à côté de l’hôpital des Quinze-Vingts, a été réalisé par l’agence Brunet Saunier, il est l’un des plus grands centres de recherche en Europe consacré aux maladies oculaires. L’origine de sa création fut le constat qu’aucune structure en France ne permettait de répondre efficacement aux besoins des patients, médecins et scientifiques : les différents spécialistes de la vision étaient jusqu’alors dispersés sur le territoire, empêchant l’interaction indispensable à un partage rapide des connaissances. L’ouvrage présentera ce nouveau complexe scientifique constitué d’un centre de recherche, d’un centre d’investigation clinique, d’un centre de référence pour les maladies rares ainsi que le rapport qui unit architecture - science.

Résumé:
Based in Budapest, the Architecture Uncomfortable Workshop is an office that, in addition to planning small projects, always looks for ways to experiment. One of their biggest motivations is attempting to understand contemporary vernacular architecture as they continuously pursue situations where comfort meets real human needs. Their first monograph includes a conversation with founders Dénes Emil Ghyczy and Lukács Szederkényi, who began thinking and working together during their university days. The studio’s name refers to the fact that the spaces built by people are brought into being at the cost of significant physical labour, involving both sacrifice and conflict.

Résumé:
The iA, or Interactive Architecture, bookzine series will consist of 12 issues bi-annually, published over a period of six years under the supervision Kas Oosterhuis, director of Hyperbody at the Delft University of Technology and principal of ONL [Oosterhuis Lénárd]. The Interactive Architecture (iA), concept is based on the equal input (listening), process (thinking), and output (talking) of people as well as the built components of architecture. This will be one of the first publications to document in detail this groundbreaking new development in architecture. iA will undoubtedly become the premier archive of this endeavor. The publication program will consist of scientific papers on particular aspects of iA and iA-driven MSc projects, iA-inspired case studies from practice, interviews with a renowned researcher/practitioner, and blogs by Kas Oosterhuis. The inaugural issue features contributions from Cas Aalbers, Henriette Bier, Nimish Biloria, Michael Bitterman, Sven Blokker, Sander Boer, Christian Friedrich, Hans Hubers, Xin Xia, and others.

Résumé:
« Le Parlement de la recherche » a réuni 22 architectes et chercheurs en architecture internationaux dans un huis clos scénographié de 48 h au couvent Sainte-Marie de La Tourette, retraite plongée dans la brume, hors du temps et des urgences. À l'initiative du Fonds de dotation Quartus pour l'architecture, en partenariat avec le ministère de la Culture et piloté par le duo de commissaires : l'AUC et MBL architectes, le Parlement de la recherche a ainsi offert un temps inédit de réflexion, d'exploration et d'effervescence collective pour interroger les grands enjeux de notre société et questionner ce que peut l'architecture. Cet ouvrage, retranscription intégrale de ces échanges ou presque, offre une masse critique de concepts, d'engagements et de sujets de réflexion qui font état des préoccupations actuelles des architectes. Les communautés, la propriété, la « jungle », la critique nomade, la nostalgie, le projet moderne, la transformation, le logement et, surtout, cette série d'attitudes face aux temps présents sont autant de thèmes à déployer, à explorer pour les temps à venir.

Résumé:
Peter Celsing (1920–74) belongs to the small group of Swedish modernist architects, including luminaries such as Gunnar Asplund (1885–1940) and Sigurd Lewerentz (1885–1975), who have rightly attracted attention beyond the country’s borders. How Celsing approached and carried out his commissions testifies to a great understanding of architecture as an applied art, where function and economy are important parameters. At the same time, during a major shift in the construction industry from more small-scale and artisanal to large-scale and prefabricated, Celsing managed the feat of running his projects with artistic integrity. John Håkansson’s black and white photographs, taken in the mid-1990s, capture the essence of Celsing’s buildings. In many cases, the images are now a valuable document of that era, since some of the buildings have changed, and not always in a favorable way. In this beautiful volume, supplemented by insightful texts contributed by architect Staffan Henriksson and artist Maria Lantz, Håkansson’s skillful photography forms a loving and sensitive portrait of Celsing’s architecture.
