Résumé:
While Expo 67 is considered one of the seminal moments in Canada’s history, the site had sadly become a wasteland. David Leonard explores the slow decay of this historic site. Graphic artist David Kopulos profiles over 40 projects inspired by Canada’s Centennial celebrations. Hogan’s Alley was a small neighbourhood home to Vancouver’s historic Black community. Then the downtown viaducts came and changed everything. John Lorinc looks at how Canadian cities are finally waking up to the second coming of the automobile revolution. The summer inundation of rain on the Toronto Islands has been a shocking reminder of their vulnerability. Cartographer James Steenberg examines the high-water marks of the floods.

Loin des grands projets prestigieux, la construction d’habitations collectives reste, malgré la frénésie normative qui les bride, le terrain de prédilection des architectes. Il est vrai que, sous le joug du carcan réglementaire, les opérations peinent à sortir des conventions. À force de ténacité, certains architectes parviennent cependant à reformuler les postulats(...)

Résumé:
Loin des grands projets prestigieux, la construction d’habitations collectives reste, malgré la frénésie normative qui les bride, le terrain de prédilection des architectes. Il est vrai que, sous le joug du carcan réglementaire, les opérations peinent à sortir des conventions. À force de ténacité, certains architectes parviennent cependant à reformuler les postulats imposés, qu’ils soient d’ordre financier, programmatique ou constructif. Mais il y faut une condition que nous avons constaté presque systématiquement : les bons projets naissent dans des quartiers où l’urbanisme est maîtrisé par un architecte coordonnateur. Sans direction – et en dépit de la résistance héroïque des CAUE –, campagnes, bourgs et villes moyennes restent, à quelques méritoires exceptions, un territoire de désolation pour l’architecture.

Résumé:
Since the end of World War II the Japanese have experienced far-reaching social and environmental changes encompassing the post-war recovery period, rapid economic growth, the bubble economy and its collapse, and natural disasters. Commissioned by individual homeowners, Japanese architects have responded in turn by offering potential solutions for social issues, as well as ideas for new ways of living, via the small-scale architecture of the house. This book presents 75 houses designed by over 50 architects, divided into thirteen themes, from “Earthy Concrete” and “Play” to “Redefining the Gap”. Richly detailed with more than 400 models, plans, and photographs.

Résumé:
There is hardly another topic that fascinates architects more than new materials, with their previously unimagined properties and enchanting haptic surfaces. Yet if you look at built reality, these hardly play a role. On the contrary, the international trend continues to move towards natural surfaces made of wood, brick and natural stone. As aesthetically and ecologically meaningful as they may be, this development becomes alarming when buildings and interiors in southern China, Paris or Copenhagen become indistinguishable. The examples in this issue show, however, that individual solutions are still possible even within a narrow range of materials and colours. Just a few years ago, natural stone and solid wood – building materials used today by the luxury sector – were cheaper than concrete and veneer in countries like Portugal, as the Pritzker Prize winner Eduardo Souto de Moura explains to us in an interview. In his eyes, the design elements of architecture remain the same throughout history, only the materials change.

Résumé:
‘Build, build, build – as quickly and cost-effectively as possible’: this mantra can currently be heard over and over and again in the political arena. Questions as to what sustainable building actually means and what level of comfort buildings should achieve need to be raised. Rainer Vallentin addresses these topics in his article in this issue, while Hans Schmid and Wilfried Doppler focus on the effects of contemporary building on birdlife. In addition, DETAIL green reports on a facade renovation rich in pan-European symbolism, Europe’s largest ‘vertical garden’ and promising new developments in the colouring and surface design of solar modules. After all, design aspirations should be retained even though energy standards in the building industry are becoming increasingly ambitious.

Résumé:
Between art and architecture, the work of Mauricio Pezo and Sofía von Ellrichshausen is a consistent mix of geometric, spatial, and structural experimentation, where each piece is conceived as a variation within a series. The introductory text by Fernando Pérez Oyarzun unveils the key aspects of the work of the Chilean architects and their particular way of understanding architecture, and is followed by a chronological journey through 32 works and projects developed since 2002, when they set up their studio in Concepción, 500 kilometers south of Santiago. This itinerary includes the bold prisms of their first houses which brought them world renown as well as their latest projects.
