Résumé:
An architecture book in a radical new format, ‘'MANGARCHITECTURE'’ comprises seven short manga stories by seven artists, each based on a different project by Tokyo-based architect Yasutaka Yoshimura. The manga creators use Yoshimura’s work as a springboard for wildly imaginative interpretations that simultaneously hint at new possibilities for architecture. In addition to the manga stories, the book presents building drawings, designs, and data, as well as commentary on each project by Yoshimura. Completing the volume is an essay by the architect and a thought-provoking dual chronology of the history of manga and architecture in Japan.

Résumé:
The latest architecture and design of restaurants and bars, from L.A. to Tokyo, is the focus of this book. Whether the challenge is merely placing furniture in a simple space, or an ambitious structural project, restaurants and bars are the sites of our most expressive architecture; more ephemeral than larger facilities or entire buildings, they are more apt to capture the mood of the times. From a skyscraper rooftop in Bangkok to a beachfront in Brazil, here are places where design, architecture, food and drink come together in inspiring combinations ranging from minimalist to extravagantly Baroque.

L’architecte et designer montréalais Norman Slater (1921-2003) a été au cœur de l’effervescence qui marqua l’univers du design et de l’architecture au cours des années soixante. Bien que son activité professionnelle se soit surtout concentrée dans sa ville natale, sa carrière a connu une dimension à la fois nationale et internationale grâce à des interventions à Ottawa, Edmonton, Vancouver, Bruxelles ou Tokyo. À Montréal ses interventions ont été rattachées à des projets d’importance et, bien qu’un grand nombre ait aujourd’hui disparu, certaines d’entre elles occupent toujours une place de premier plan dans le paysage et l’imaginaire de la ville.

Résumé:
Created in 1987, the agency Pierre du Besset and Dominique Lyon occupies an important place in the architectural scene today. Construction is for Dominique Lyon an opportunity to undertake an overview of his projects thus far (whether built or not), from the Maison de la Villette and the headquarters of Le Monde newspaper to the Tangier ferry terminal and the French embassy in Tokyo, by way of the French pavilion for the Seville World’s Fair and the multimedia libraries of Orleans and Troyes. In this book, Dominique Lyon defends a decidedly critical position, supported by an uninterrupted conversation with the real.

Résumé:
Featuring more than 20 works by Japanese architect Koh Kitayama, this compact monograph covers his practice over a twelve-year period beginning in 2002. Interested in collective forms found in cities and how these are meant to support the activities of everyday life, Kitayama has explored transformations in residential districts in Tokyo in order to contemplate the renewal of its urban composition, comparing it to representative cities of the past. His goal is for architects to present a spatial model for the future with which society can identify, and he develops this through his own houses, residential complexes and integrated urban projects.
