Résumé:
The decades after the Second World War saw ambitious building programs to ensure social welfare. The Scandinavian countries in particular underwent an intense modernisation phase with the aim to distribute welfare to all. Yet, the relationship between welfare values and design in Scandinavia is anything but stable. The spatial and political legacy of post-war construction varies amongst Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and their welfare models have been changed, contested, and copied over time. This book explores how architecture, once seen as a medium for universal welfare, inclusion, and political participation, is now often associated with the opposite, such as alienation, exclusion, and segregation. The volume offers new perspectives on the history and redesign of post-war architecture and urbanity.

Résumé:
Ce livre n'est pas une monographie d'architecte comme il en existe de nombreux exemples. Il propose une visite guidée subjective de l'œuvre construite de Paul Chemetov à travers 30 bâtiments choisis parce que singuliers, symptomatiques ou représentatifs de son travail. Le livre est conçu et réalisé par Thomas Jumin et Paul Chemetoff (petit-fils de l'architecte) à l'issue de leurs études de graphisme. Leurs choix, la distance générationnelle, culturelle, presque historique paraissent donner sa vérité à un exercice qui aurait pu sombrer dans l'hagiographie. Le parti pris de la conception offre un bel équilibre entre les images (230 visuels, pleines pages) et les textes signés par quelques-uns des compagnons de route de l'architecte ou des témoins privilégiés de son œuvre : François Chaslin, Alexandre Chemetoff, Christian Devillers, Jean Deroche, Philippe Robert, entre autres.

Résumé:
Welcome to the 21st century in Swiss architecture. An engrossing collection of interviews with Swiss superstar architects like Herzog & de Meuron, Peter Zumthor, Valerio Olgiati, Mario Botta and Luigi Snozzi offers a window into their plans, obsessions, thoughts and predictions. What are they working on? Where are they going next? Nine interviewers talk to 30 leading Swiss architects, both established and cutting-edge, about the future of architecture, their increasingly complex relations with clients and the public sphere, and their role in the international dialog on what architecture means in the early 21st century. Over the course of the conversations, these architects present not only their positions on the constructive, conceptual and aesthetic dimensions of architecture, but also their projections for the future of the discipline.

Résumé:
Ever since building began, architecture has relied on mathematics to achieve visual harmony, structural integrity, and logical construction. For most of the history of building, architects have applied the principles of Euclidean geometry, the description of points, lines, and volumes according to the three axes of space. Recently, however, digital design tools and massive computer processing power, along with an increasing interest in physics and pure mathematics, have given architects the means to describe and build spatial constructs that would have been inconceivable even ten years ago. This survey of some forty international projects offers an overview of how different strategies are being employed through accessible illustrations and clear text. Each section presents case studies of projects by globally recognized architects through diagrams, photographs, and texts.

Résumé:
Given today's multitude of demands on the built environment, the role of the architect has extended from being a mere designer and builder to acting as a mediator within a much larger network of expertise. This mediation takes place on multiple levels – within the building industry, between public, clients and designers, and between public, clients and designers, and between the actual design and its environment. To achieve this, the field of work, the tools of design and the representation of architects needs to develop. The architect has to design the design process itself. Mediating Architecture demonstrates the extended role of the architect through the applied work of AA's Diploma Unit 14 within London's Thames Gateway over three consecutive years. A series of essays reflect this methodology from the multi-disciplinary perspectives of architecture, urban design, landscape design and philosophy.
