Résumé:
Neglected in her lifetime, Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now regarded as one of the most important furniture designers and architects of the early twentieth century. She first worked as a lacquer artist, then as a furniture designer and finally as an architect. Her design style was as distinctive as her way of working; Gray developed an opulent, luxuriant take on the geometric forms and industrially produced materials used by International Style designers such as Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Mies van der Rohe.

Résumé:
In Auditions, Rob Stone proposes a new and transformative view of architecture and sound. He offers a radical rethinking of the inhabitation of architectural space in terms of its acoustic dimensions, presenting a concept of aurality as an active, speculative, yet conditional understanding of the complexity of social spaces.

Résumé:
In Auditions, Rob Stone proposes a new and transformative view of architecture and sound. He offers a radical rethinking of the inhabitation of architectural space in terms of its acoustic dimensions, presenting a concept of aurality as an active, speculative, yet conditional understanding of the complexity of social spaces. The aural architectures he discusses are assembled from elements of architecture and music -- including works by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and John Cage -- but also from imagined spaces and other kinds of less obviously musical sounds.

Through a reading of the landscape and the topographical structure, Mathias Klotz implements his architectural programme with plastic sensitivity, confirming the importance of the construction and the materials. His reference models range from those of Mies van der Rohe and of those architects active in California after World War II. The Ponce house in Buenos Aires is one of the best expressions of his talent, which shows his skill as an architect who is coherent in his choice of materials, confident in employing them and overt in exhibiting them.

The work of the main architects of the movement such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe is re-examined shedding new light on their roles as acknowledged masters.

Résumé:
L’histoire de l’architecture ne cesse de conjuguer deux regards : celui, panoramique, portant sur les ensembles urbains, révélant les politiques sociales ou techniques, et celui sur les édifices et leurs intérieurs, vus en gros plan, qui reflète les idéaux et l’engagement de leurs auteurs et de leurs habitants. Faisant dialoguer théoriciens, philosophes et écrivains avec les architectes du xxe siècle (Mies van der Rohe, Wright ou Le Corbusier), Jean-Louis Cohen suggère une approche renouvelée, ancrée dans l’histoire culturelle et dans l’humain, de l’architecture comme questionnement et comme pratique.
