Résumé:
« Less is more », dit le dicton moderniste. Mais est-ce bien le cas ? À une époque où l'on nous exhorte sans cesse à faire « plus avec moins », pouvons-nous encore romantiser les prétentions du minimalisme ? Le propos d'Aureli s'exprime dans toute son actualité, alors que presque dix ans se sont écoulés depuis sa première publication : il offre un regard critique sur la(...)

Le propos d'Aureli s'exprime dans toute son actualité, alors que presque dix ans se sont écoulés depuis sa première publication : il offre un regard critique sur la pratique architecturale et sur les questions fondamentales de la discipline, que ce soit dans le passé ou pour notre avenir, en démasquant habilement l'hypocrisie du capitalisme latent qui esthétise l'ascétisme, tout en continuant de regarder avec espoir la possibilité de conserver l'idée du « less » comme point de départ. Il se veut donc le témoin d'une époque où le cadre théorique et critique de l'architecture nécessitent une profonde reconfiguration.

Résumé:

Schezen’s vivid color and luminous black-and-white photographs display each building in detail, showing both the formal characteristics and the rich textures and materials Loos most frequently used. Complementing this visual material is Kenneth Frampton’s perceptive essay, which places Loos within the context of Viennese intellectuals of the time. His circle, which included Arnold Schönberg, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and at the center, Karl Kraus, explored the essential nature of architecture, and the other arts and sciences, through linguistic structures. Frampton identifies the hallmarks that Loos derived from these structures and with which he created his work : the blank, "degree-zero" exterior with its luxurious interior; his commentary on architecture’s position between art and function, plus subtle recollections of both the classic and the vernacular. All these ploys were to subvert typical architectural expectations. Joseph Rosa’s accompanying descriptions comprehensively discuss each building, from the circumstances surrounding the realization of the projects to the use of Loos’s architectural conventions.

Résumé:
The harnessing of solar energy via photovoltaic (i.e. solar electrical) technology has become one of the world's highest priorities, as dwindling oil resources compel nations all over the world to reconsider their energy policies.

Résumé:
The harnessing of solar energy via photovoltaic (i.e. solar electrical) technology has become one of the world's highest priorities, as dwindling oil resources compel nations all over the world to reconsider their energy policies. Soon, many countries will be able to produce as much as 25 percent of their electricity through photovoltaics--that is, if architecture can rise to the challenge and integrate its visual and design language with that of photovoltaic systems. This challenge has already been tackled in a huge variety of projects, and Energizing Architecture presents the full range of possible photovoltaic modules, using realized buildings as examples. Intended for planners, architects and anybody concerned with the field of environmental design, it provides an index of all relevant materials, and demonstrates that the integration of photovoltaics into architectural practice can be achieved with aesthetically pleasing results.

Résumé:

In Testify! The Consequences of Architecture, editor Lukas Feireiss gathers 30 examples of community-centered architectural projects from all five continents, to demonstrate as explicitly as possible how architecture can transform the quality of our lives. This is architecture that reveals unexpected possibilities for growing food in urban environments, for creating healthy and sustainable environments, nourishing social networks and establishing real estate value based on new revenue models. Each project is presented with full-color illustrations, texts that concisely analyze the project in terms of context, mission and realization, and an interview with a community member who makes regular use of, or occupies, the relevant building.

Each interview focuses on the unique contributions of its subject and is accompanied by images of their most important works. With a no-holds-barred approach the author obtains interesting details about their ideas on architecture in general, from where they get their inspiration to what formative experiences led them to become architects in the first place. Updated with new images, this informative, accessible, and endlessly fascinating collection offers a chance to compare, contrast, and get to know the architects that are shaping the world we live in.

C'est-à-dire sortir de la routine, contourner les objectifs réglementaires incertains ou absurdes, éviter les alibis environnementaux douteux, pour échapper au carcan qui uniformise la production architecturale actuelle. Mais, Nicolas Michelin fait soudain un pas de côté. De manière inattendue, il livre quatre courtes fictions qui entraînent le lecteur dans d'étranges univers, incursions dans des mondes parallèles où l'architecture apparaît toujours en filigrane. À partir de constructions ou de paysages réels, il glisse vers des hallucinations dans des temporalités et des spatialités étrangement subverties. Puis, il mène trois conversations avec des interlocuteurs proches de son mode de pensée. Il échange avec ses deux associés sur la pratique de l'agence sur la double échelle, de l'urbanisme et de l'architecture. Il partage sa parole avec un artiste, à propos de la Renaissance, et s'interroge avec deux architectes plus jeunes sur la notion d'engagement. Au fil de ces textes, il explicite sa position d'architecte et sa vision de ce métier politique.
