Résumé:
Focusing on Los Angeles, this book looks at urban transformation through the architecture and land development of large-scale residential projects. The author demonstrates the inherent instability of very large sites. Cuff explores five cases that span the period from the 1930s, when federal support for slum clearance and public housing caused convulsions near downtown, to a huge 1990s mixed-use development on one of Los Angeles' last remaining wetlands. The story takes us from the refined modernist architecture of Richard Neutra to the self-conscious populism of the New Urbanism. The cases illuminate the relationship of housing architecture to issues of race, class, urban design, geography, and political ideology.

Résumé:
The past decade has witnessed a profound transformation in European landscape architecture, away from the formal, centrally-planned garden art that hallmarks traditional European parks, toward projects, often the result of interdisciplinary cooperation between architects, artists, and landscape architects, of a more informal, almost exploratory, nature. "In Gardens" examines more than thirty of the most influential recent landscape projects in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, and from designers like Kathryn Gustafson, Dani Karavan, and Charles Jencks. In the process, this panoramic book illuminates a new paradigm of garden design in Europe and provides a fount of inspiration for landscape designers everywhere.

Résumé:
"Matchibako" depicts Japan's swift transformation into an industrial empire in the early 20th century, as illustrated in the infinitesimal advertisements on matchboxes from the period. In an uncertain society and its changing leisure market, matches joined cigarettes in Western-style hotels and cafes, and in sushi bars next door. Patrons might be found in Western dress or traditional kimono, debating Marx or the latest silent film, but all saw themselves reflected in the new graphism. Although most were anonymously designed, these tiny remainders alternately show the influence of Cubism and the Bauhaus in illustration and English type, and retain conventional wood block fonts and right-to-left Japanese text.

Résumé:
Antoni Gaudi's unique naturalistic style has made him one of the most famous architects of all time. But even with that high level of reknown, the impulse behind the Catalan architect/artist s well-known works remains shrouded in mystery.

Résumé:
Antoni Gaudi's unique naturalistic style has made him one of the most famous architects of all time. But even with that high level of reknown, the impulse behind the Catalan architect/artist s well-known works remains shrouded in mystery. Eminent Dutch architectural historian Jan Molema lifts that veil through an exploration of Gaudi's transformation from architect to self-willed artist. By shedding light on Gaudi's artistic influences such as Art Nouveau, his pioneering use of organic shapes and materials, as well as his all-important structural ingenuity, we come to understand not only what made Gaudi so revolutionary but also what his many buildings mean symbolically.

Fils de l'architecte Mikhaïl Eisenstein (1867-1920), Sergueï Eisenstein (1898-1948) réinvente la transparence de l’« espace cinématographique » (le tournage d'intérieurs, la pellicule, la projection). Mais comme constructiviste et homme de théâtre, il entendait également scénariser la dystopie capitaliste par le biais d’une transformation sociale inspirée par les tours de verre de Mies van der Rohe et Frank Lloyd Wright.

Terence Young documents this history and maps, the political, cultural, and social dimensions of landscape design in urban America, offering new insights into the transformation of San Francisco's physical environment and quality of life through its world-famous park system.

The twenty-first century is a period of great environmental and social transformation as climate change increasingly marks lives at levels that are personal, familial, communal, national, and global.
