Résumé:
"Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture" is an exciting advance in the field of architecture offering multiple indigenous perspectives on architecture and design theory and practice. Indigenous authors from Aotearoa NZ, Canada, Australia, and the USA explore the making and keeping of places and spaces which are informed by indigenous values and identities. The lack of publications to date offering an indigenous lens on the field of architecture belies the rich expertise found in indigenous communities in all four countries. This expertise is made richer by the fact that this indigenous expertise combines both architecture and design professional practice, that for the most part is informed by Western thought and practice, with a frame of reference that roots this architecture in the indigenous places in which it sits.

Résumé:
"Confabulation" is a drawing together through storytelling. Fundamental to our perception, memory, and thought is the way we join fractured experiences to construct a narrative. Confabulations: Storytelling in Architecture weaves together poetic ideas, objects, and events and returns you to everyday experiences of life through juxtapositions with dreams, fantasies, and hypotheticals. It follows the intellectual and creative framework of architectural cosmopoesis developed and practiced by the distinguished thinker, architect, and professor Dr. Marco Frascari, who thought deeply about the role of storytelling in architecture.

Résumé:
A Jeff Wall tapestry? Sol LeWitt paneling? Is this some new Target promotion? Actually, those works aren’t for sale to the general public, but are part of architect Charles Vandenhove’s signature philosophy of integrating other artists’ work into his own designs. And it’s one reason he’s gained such acclaim and fame, whether for a new design (the Théâtre des Abbesses in Paris) or one of his numerous renovation projects (La Monnaie Theatre in Brussels). Paneling (a Vandenhove hallmark) reworked by LeWitt, Marthe Wéry, and Jacques Charlier; tapestries conceived by Luc Tuymans as well as Jeff Wall; designs by Daniel Buren and Patrick Corillon: Each work of art finds a niche in Vandenhove’s architecture, creating a deliberate interaction between disciplines. Or as he himself puts it: "As at the time of the Renaissance, I would like the work of artists to be in line with mine; I would like the one not to be able to exist without the other."

Résumé:
L'attitude low-tech, anglicisme usité pour « basse technologie », prône une utilisation mesurée des éléments technologiques, pour réduire autant que possible les impacts environnementaux et répondre aux enjeux du développement de manière plus durable et équitable. Il s'agit d'une approche visant à questionner et évaluer les besoins humains réels et développer ainsi des pratiques simples, conviviales, résilientes et inclusives. Les auteurs présentent cette démarche comme une réponse à l'utilisation excessive d'énergie et de matériaux tant pour la construction de bâtiments neufs que pour la rénovation. La low-tech ne consiste pas en une doctrine ni en un catalogue de solutions toutes faites, mais bien en une préoccupation permanente de durabilité qui s'applique à une démarche plutôt qu'à un résultat. Sont réunies ici des expériences de terrain sous l'égide de l'Ademe, qui témoignent des différentes stratégies d'économie et de rationalité dans les phases de production d'objets, d'espaces, de services, depuis la grande dimension urbaine jusqu'à l'espace privatif.

Résumé:
Faire du nouvel hôpital de Douai une féerie visuelle et l'occasion d'une belle accroche plastique pour le ragard. Marier à Palavas-les-Flots, en bord de Méditerranée, l'esthétique d'un centre de rééducation à celle d'un palais. Susciter l'envie d'une promenade au-dessus d'un canal lorrain en réaménageant le site où vient s'agencer l'hôpital de Nancy dédié aux soins de la personne. L'agence Brunet Saunier Architecture cultive le goût du don esthétique. Être architecte selon Jérôme Brunet et Éric Saunier, c'est avoir le double souci de la justesse, qui garantit le bon usage, et de la beauté fonctionnelle, qui transcende la fonction architecturale. Le «style» Brunet Saunier est à la fois évident et sophistiqué, indifférent aux modes et à la tentation du spectaculaire, jamais en manque de générosité. Paul Ardenne.

This book brings together Kenneth Frampton's essays from the 1960s to today which epitomize his reflections on the historical–theoretical entanglements of architecture with place, the public realm, cultural identity, urban landscape and environment, and the political question of the “predicament” of architecture in the new Millennium.

Résumé:
This book brings together Kenneth Frampton's essays from the 1960s to today which epitomize his reflections on the historical–theoretical entanglements of architecture with place, the public realm, cultural identity, urban landscape and environment, and the political question of the “predicament” of architecture in the new Millennium. The essays explore Frampton's contention that architecture's imperative is to assume a significant responsibility for the edification and stewardship of the Arendtian ''public world.'' One of the most theoretically sophisticated and politically committed architectural thinkers, Frampton's work breaks emphatically with the limits and norms of much contemporary practice and restores a sense of richness and social consequence of architecture's 'unfinished project,' while offering abiding lessons not only for architecture but for social, cultural, and design criticism alike.

Résumé:
This volume edited on the occasion of the exhibition at MAXXI - Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo in Rome from 25 October 2024 to 16 March 2025, curated by the world-renowned studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The exhibition and thus the catalogue intends to address the theme of movement not so much as a possibility for a building to move from one place to another as an internal property of architecture: buildings that change configuration, that have mobile elements, that swell or turn to accommodate more or fewer visitors. The ability to move or change like a transformer is also a recurring feature of the work of Diller and Scofidio (later DS+R), who often also used movement as a platform to connect art and architecture, combining the concepts of building and installation in an experimental (and very productive) way.

Résumé:
The "Atlas of never built architecture" features hundreds of the most spectacular unbuilt projects of the 20th and 21st centuries in a comprehensive, geographically arranged survey. At times impractical or fanciful but always imaginative and ambitious, the projects included in this ground-breaking book reveal the incredible diversity of ideas that have emerged from the world’s most influential architects. A vast array of imagery, from initial sketches and paintings to etchings and digital renderings, offers insight into how architectural projects are conceived and developed, and the book features a wide-ranging selection of projects, such as parliamentary buildings, museums, arts centers, skyscrapers, artificial islands, and city plans. Futuristic visions from the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, and Le Corbusier, sit alongside more contemporary proposals from talents such as Norman Foster, Diller, Scofidio + Renfro, Steven Holl, and Zaha Hadid to show how our built environments could have looked very different indeed.
