Résumé:
Sylvie Andreu a animé durant l’été 2011 une chronique sur France Culture intitulée Envie de Ville. Elle y faisait intervenir des photographes, des poètes, des architectes, afin qu’ils parlent des villes qui leur tiennent à coeur, racontant leurs premières impressions, leurs souvenirs, et les images qu’ils en ont ramenés. Ce petit ouvrage reprend les vingt-cinq chroniques, cinq par continent, diffusées sur France Culture, afin de prolonger le plaisir, de découvrir ou de redécouvrir ces portraits de villes et leurs porte-paroles. Que ce soit des villes touristiques comme Tokyo, Le Caire et Buenos Aires, ou des villes plus secrètes et intimes, comme Astana ou Meknès, l’objectif de cet ouvrage est de laisser parler ces artistes afin qu’ils nous fassent découvrir la ville qui les touche, leur vision et leur manière de l’appréhender.

Résumé:
Avec un demi-milliard d'euros d'investissement et le choix très select des architectes japonais Sanaa (Pritzker Prize 2010) – déjà auteurs des magasins Christian Dior à Tokyo (2001-2003) –, LVMH aura beaucoup investi à la Samaritaine ! Pourtant, l'essentiel n'est pas là. Initialement parti pour ne devenir qu'un petit « Vuitton City » faisant face au siège du malletier, l'opération repose désormais sur un cobranding réajusté. Avec la complicité d'Édouard François – déjà auteur de l'hôtel Fouquet's Barrière avenue George V –, LVMH Hotel Management entend convertir le vaisseau-amiral Art Déco du grand magasin d'Ernest Cognacq en « plus bel hôtel urbain du monde ». Mais d'un art déco l'autre, que signifie ce type de reconversion patrimoniale à l'âge du « capitalisme artiste » ? Architecte et sociologue, Boris Veblen a enseigné à l'École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris

Résumé:
These are a few of the many reasons why green roofs are sprouting in cities around the world. This publication examines the possibilities for city-wide green roof development through 335 color photographs, 40 case studies of exemplary green roof building projects, and 7 municipal case studies describing green roofs in Berlin, Tokyo, London, Portland, Chicago, Toronto, and New York. This book details the ecological benefits, technical requirements, architectural history, and design possibilities of vegetated rooftops. "Green roofs: ecological design and construction" will inform communities, designers, building owners, and local leaders by showcasing the environmental and aesthetic potential of green roofs around the world. William McDonough, an architect and leader of the sustainable development movement, provides an opening essay that considers green roofs as part of a larger project to harmonize the natural and built environments.

Résumé:
This highly visual investigation shows the complex nature and enormous impact of recent developments in our information society: a transformation produced by the irresistible combined expansion of digital technology and telecommunication networks. The urban space is a privileged laboratory for observing and experiencing the density of signs and their multiple frameworks: Signage, Giant Screens, Signboards, Flags, Poster Displays, Architecture and Advertisement, Surveillance Technologies, Tracking Devices, etc. Eric Sadin started this project during a residence in Kyoto, Japan, then enlarged the focus of the inquiry to further Asian, European, and American cities as Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bombay, Paris, London, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, New York. The result is a fascinating visual journey in 2000 colour illustrations with explanatory captions, structured into some 100 topics and analysed in brilliant theoretical texts providing the necessary background.

On y observe une effervescence créative à tous les coins de rue : de la Casa Estudio de Luis Barragan, le maître du modernisme, à la cuisine de la meilleure cheffe d’Amérique latine Elena Reygadas en passant par les célèbres mariachis de la Plaza Garibaldi. Un plan de Mexico en début de livre et un découpage clair par région pour se repérer.

Résumé:
This double issue of TC Cuadernos explores two decades of Kengo Kuma & Associates' prolific production, focusing on their urban architecture between 2006 and 2024. Through a careful selection of projects, the monograph offers a comprehensive overview of KKAA's evolution and its constant interplay between the rural, explored in TC 158, and the urban. The work is organised around five key strategies: attract, mimetize, hide, occupy and organise. These categories reveal how Kuma approaches urban design in complex contexts. Projects such as the V Dundee Museum in Scotland and the 1550 Alberni Street Tower in Vancouver demonstrate his ability to create architectural landmarks without resorting to traditional monumentalism, prioritising materiality and the environment. On the other hand, the Asakusa Tourist Information Centre in Tokyo and the Nezu Museum show how his architecture is subtly integrated into the urban landscape.

Résumé:
Since founding his practice BCHO Architects Associates in Seoul in 1994, Byoung Cho has built a reputation as the key architect driving the expansion of one of the world’s most densely populated cities. Influenced by Korea’s rich aesthetic tradition, Cho utilizes understated forms to create serene buildings that yield powerful and subtle experiences for their inhabitants. His work focuses on seemingly simple structures and has a strong regard for nature and sustainability. This companion to ''Kengo Kuma: My Life as an Architect in Tokyo'' presents twenty-nine portraits of the buildings and districts of Seoul that have most influenced Cho, from a 12th-century shrine to a 14-metre-square concrete box, and includes a number of his own designs. Lively texts are interspersed with the architect’s own drawings and elegant photographs printed with a coloured tint.

Résumé:
This two-volume catalogue of the "10th International Architecture Exhibition" presents an anthology of ideas centered around this year's theme: the meta-city. The changes in the physical and social structure of today's city have resulted in a new kind of civilian agglomeration that extends beyond the traditional form, concept, and boundaries of the city, causing profound transformations in the composition of its population and working habits. The International Exhibition, curated by Richard Burdett, will focus on the transformations of cities around the world, featuring New York, London, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Mexico City, São Paulo Beirut, Istanbul, Johannesburg, and Lagos. Additionally, the biennale will propound a manifesto for rational development of cities in the 21st century. This book will be the definitive catalogue of what is perhaps the most important architecture exhibition in the world.

Résumé:
This book discusses the architectural influence that Japan and the West have had on each other during the last 150 years. While the recent histories of Western and Japanese architecture have been well recorded, they have rarely been interwoven. Based on extensive research, this book provides a synthetic overview that brings together the main themes of Japanese and Western architecture since 1850, showing that neither could exist in its present state without the other. It should be no surprise that the Bank of Japan in Tokyo is based upon the national banks in Brussels and London or that Le Corbusier’s cabanon at Cap Martin in the south of France is based upon an eight mat tatami room. In considering these histories, this book demonstrates the mutual interdependence of both architectural cultures while, at the same time, acknowledging their differences.
