Résumé:
Snohetta - snow cap - is the name of the architecture firm founded in 1989 by architects of different nationalities to deal with architecture, landscapes and everything else related to these fields. The linking of various disciplines on equal footing is at the heart of the work of this internationally active group of "professionals". According to Snohetta, a livable environment and successful architecture can only come about through a common creative process in which much may and must be questioned and constantly reconsidered. A building is thus never just the work of an individual, but the result of many. As complex as its way of thinking, as varied as its projects, this monograph presents all projects that have been published in DETAIL in recent years.

Résumé:
Architectural practice today goes far beyond the design and construction of buildings — the most exciting, forward-thinking architecture is also found in digital landscapes, art, apps, films, installations, and virtual reality. This remarkable book features projects — surprising, beautiful, outrageous, and sometimes even frightening — that break rules and shatter boundaries.

L’importance et la diversité de sa production architecturale et urbaine, les leçons qu’il tire de l’architecture traditionnelle, son souci pour un logement de qualité accessible au plus grand nombre et, finalement, le fait qu’il parvienne à atteindre tous ces objectifs en suivant une voie originale, en dehors du modernisme occidental, font de Raj Rewal un architecte remarquable et exemplaire, dont l’engagement et l’œuvre méritent d’être connus en France.

Résumé:
This publication includes lectures; interviews; articles published in daily newspapers and magazines, and longer essays on a variety of topics. Steiner brings to his work a keen critical acumen that draws on decades of travel, research, and contact with renowned international architects, such as Rob Krier, Hermann Czech, Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, Lacaton + Vassal, Jon Jerde, Rural Studio, Wang Shu, and Alexander Brodsky. At the same time, his articles and essays are often amplified by personal observations and experiences. While paying tribute to a prolific scholar and critic, Steiner’s Diary takes readers through four decades of architectural history that represent some of the discipline’s most fascinating historical developments, and it will be welcomed by architects, architectural historians, and anyone with an interest in architecture’s role in society today.

Résumé:
"SOUPERgreen!" features projects and essays that offer a long overdue critique of the current approach to “green” architecture and, in turn, demonstrate a more appropriate way for architects to address the challenges posed by the environmental crisis. In sharp contrast to contemporary examples of “green” or “sustainable” architecture—which primarily rely upon the invisible agency of unremarkable technologies and materials to reduce resource consumption, but which do so without producing a necessary shift in the public’s perception of the environment or behavior towards it—"SOUPERgreen!" demonstrates how green technology can not only perform from a measurable standpoint, but can also produce engaging experiences that profoundly alter, enhance, and transform the public’s understanding of the environment. By leveraging the inherently expressive nature of technology in order to dramatize the constantly negotiated relationship between humanity and the natural world, the “souped-up” green architecture featured in "SOUPERgreen!" transforms “greenness” from a mere measurement of environmental performance into an actively engaged and highly conscious lived reality—resulting in a new way of experiencing and understanding the environment that is inherently more ecological.

Featuring twentieth-century icons such as Julia Morgan, Eileen Gray and Lina Bo Bardi, and the best contemporary talent, from Kazuyo Sejima to Elizabeth Diller and Grafton Architects, this book is, above all else, a ground-breaking celebration of extraordinary architecture.

Résumé:
In the past few years, Mexico has brought to light a new generation of architects whose extraordinary vision and productivity has positioned the country among the most creative design cultures of the world. Under his own firm FR-EE, since 2000 Fernando Romero has designed and created a number of projects which represent a new vision of Mexican and world architecture. Romero's approach to architecture is innovative and an inspirational tool for empowering future generations. The volume will focus on three themes that intertwine throughout the content of the book. On-site photographs (mainly aerial views) highlight the different places where FR-EE works, from urban centers to the desert. The location is what drives FR-EE's creative work, while the practice strives to investigate the dynamic forces of each site and client. Photographs give the reader a vision of how Romero's perspective shifts between different focuses of references, and reimagines them in new symbolic visions of the world (from monuments to colors, from natural elements to animals). The images include renderings, photographs, diagrams, plans, and sections. The projects are presented in situ and through architectural drawings, so as to explain the projects' concepts and contents.

Résumé:
Pourquoi avons-nous cette étrange impression que la ville ne nous appartient pas ? De n’être que de passage alors même que nous y résidons ? Quel est ce malaise que nous ressentons à la vue d’un banc design segmenté en places individuelles, de pics au rebord d’une vitrine, de grillages et de caméras tous azimuts ? Ce sont autant de symptômes de suspicion et de mépris de la ville à notre égard, autant de sensations de dépossession. Loin d’être une chose inerte, l’espace urbain formé par les urbanistes et architectes est politique, vivant et signifiant. Il envoie des signaux de reconnaissance et de mépris à destination de ceux qui y vivent. C’est pourquoi il est plus que temps d’apprendre à décrypter le langage urbain pour pouvoir reprendre place en son sein et exiger de ceux qui la fabriquent, architectes et politiques en tête, qu’ils prennent en compte sa destination véritable : servir ses habitants.
