Résumé:
In Travels in the History of Architecture, Robert Harbison provides an engaging and concise companion to the great themes and aesthetic movements in architecture from antiquity to the present day. The book begins its journey with the great temples of the Egyptians and the shrines of Classical Greece and Rome and then provides a complete survey of architecture through the present day. Each chapter of this dynamic and approachable volume focuses on a movement in architectural history, including Byzantine, Baroque, Mannerism, Historicism, Functionalism, and Deconstruction. Unique to this work is Harbison’s wide-ranging approach, which draws on references and examples outside of architecture—from literature, art, sculpture, and history—to further illustrate and contextualize the themes and ideas of each period.

Résumé:
Norman Foster is a phenomenon - as an architect, but also as an individual. He is responsible for a dozen or more of the most recognizable buildings of the last 30 years. Amongst many other buildings, Norman Foster is responsible for the design of Beijing's new airport, one of the world's largest, for the Rossiya tower in Moscow, in contention to be the tallest skyscraper in Europe until the credit crunch killed it, for one of the towers at Ground Zero in Manhattan, and for a crop of new towers in London. He designed the Reichstag, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banks headquarters in London and China, the new Wembley stadium and the British Museum's new court. Deyan Sudjic's insightful and elegantly written biography charts the remarkable life of one of the world's most influential architectural figures.

Résumé:
As living conditions among the world's poor continue to decline, with more and more people occupying slums and shantytowns, architects and artists are attempting to apply new models of collaboration and sustainability to social crisis. Moderators of Change: Architecture That Helps showcases 20 international projects by architects, designers and artists that provide socially responsible models of urban design. By inviting users to collaborate in the design and building process, and by working with new economic models, these practitioners have realized projects that have had profound, positive effects with just a minimum investment of money and materials. This book includes schools, libraries, gardens, conversions and art projects, as well as essays by Regina Bittner, Carson Chan, Luis Fernandez-Galiano, Ronald Rael, Anne Schmedding and Christian Welzbacher.

Résumé:
Fruit de deux colloques internationaux organisés par la Haute École d’Art et de Design de Genève, « L’architecture d’intérieur en mots » (2015) et « La fin de l’intériorité ? » (2016), ce livre propose une vision d’ensemble d’une profession aux sensibilités parfois disparates et affirme avec force la spécificité de sa méthode (face notamment à ses disciplines soeurs que sont le design et l’architecture). Il constitue ainsi un référent théorique qui fonde une réflexion de l’espace qui consiste à placer l’humain au centre d’une exploration qui va de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur.

Résumé:
Though reaching ever further toward the skies, today's cities are overshadowed by multiple threats: climate change, overpopulation, social division, and urban warfare all endanger our metropolitan way of life. The fundamental tool we use to make sense of these uncertain city futures is the imagination. Architects, artists, filmmakers, and fiction writers have long been inspired to imagine cities of the future, but their speculative visions tend to be seen very differently from scientific predictions: flights of fancy on the one hand versus practical reasoning on the other. In a digital age when the real and the fantastic coexist as near equals, it is especially important to know how these two forces are entangled, and how together they may help us best conceive of cities yet to come.

Résumé:
Architects write a lot, especially now that conceptual aspects have become central in advanced reflections and narrative forms increasingly intersect the quest of design practices for an ultimate legitimation. In the growing mass of publications, these keywords turn the genre of annotated bibliography into a hypertextual device by highlighting recurrent issues and tracking synthetic paths of orientation among different critical positions, with particular attention to what happens in the neighbouring fields of the arts and sciences.

Résumé:
Ce commentaire original et audacieux de l’œuvre d’Adolf Loos éclaire sous d’un jour nouveau des aspects peu connus de cette personnalité éminente de l’histoire de l’architecture. Il entend notamment donner sens aux contradictions et paradoxes – progrès et fixité, érotisme et rationalité, sacré et profane – qui ont longtemps rendu son travail difficile à saisir. Replaçant l’analyse dans le contexte viennois de la guerre des idées et de la lutte des sexes, Can Onaner fait appel à des disciplines trop peu souvent mobilisées par les théoriciens de l’architecture, puisant notamment dans la psychanalyse, la philosophie, l’esthétique ou encore la théorie des genres. En énonçant le concept de masochisme en architecture comme nouveau modèle théorique et critique, il propose une réflexion qui pourrait devenir un jalon important dans une nouvelle approche théorique de l’architecture, dans laquelle des concepts comme l’humour et le fantasme apparaissent de plus en plus distinctement comme l’emblème de tout projet architectural inquiet de sa pérennité. Comme un mythe nécessaire, pour ne pas dire fondateur, de toute urbanité.
