Résumé:
What did Aalto himself say about the importance of nationalism and geography in his work and in architecture generally? With an unprecedented focus on the architect’s own writings, library, and critical reception, the author proposes a dramatically different interpretation of Aalto’s oeuvre, revealing it as a deeply thoughtful response to his intellectual and cultural milieu—especially to Finland’s dynamic political circumstances following independence from Russia in 1917.

Résumé:
This book is a real first in the world of architecture publishing. It is the first time that the work of Donald Judd has been fully expounded in an architectural context. As one of the most important exponents of American minimal art, Donald Judd (1928–1994) has exerted a lasting influence in the field of architecture. Among the lesser-known aspects of his work is a large collection of architectural designs that explore the relationship between architecture and art. Of special importance for Judd’s work in this field is a former military fort in Marfa, Texas, part of which he purchased and then, beginning in 1971, transformed into one of the largest existing ensembles of contemporary art. The Marfa buildings have for the first time been carefully measured and drawn to scale by the author and his students. Using standard CAD drawings together with historical and contemporary photographs, this volume illustrates Judd’s architectural alterations to the buildings in Marfa, and discusses and describes them in its accompanying text. The result is an invaluable source of inspiration for contemporary architecture.

Au seuil du XXIe siècle, les disciplines de l'architecture et de l'aménagement des villes et des campagnes sont en crise. On assiste à la perte du sens du lieu, à la faillite des significations des grandes formes et figures de l'habiter, enfin à un oubli des fondements mêmes de la tradition et de la modernité. En réponse à ce désarroi de l'homme moderne face à un monde technique où il a perdu ses repères, Christian Norberg-Schulz s'est toujours attaché à retrouver, à travers toutes les époques et les cultures, les racines profondément humaines de l'habiter.

Résumé:
S'interroger sur le sens de l'architecture signifie essayer d'établir un principe de légitimation globale et intemporelle, ne se référant pas seulement au passé ou au présent. L'architecture moderne, malgré le fait qu'elle se présente sous une condition fragmentaire, aspire, pour cette même raison, à une totalité perdue. Dans ce texte, élaboré du point de vue d'un architecte et non de celui d'un critique ou d'un historien, l'objectif est de vérifier comment les récits architecturaux modernes, bien que fragmentaires, se réfèrent toujours à un Ordre qui continue à servir de référence. Il tente ainsi d'expliquer pourquoi l'architecture continue d'avoir sa propre identité à travers le temps et pourquoi elle continue d'être aussi nécessaire. Première traduction française de l'essai de l'architecte espagnol José Ignacio Linazasoro.

Résumé:
Dick van Gameren, a partner with the Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo, has engaged in housing design for the past 25 years through his work as an architect as well as in his research and teaching at TU Delft’s Global Housing Study Center. In this book, he presents around 40 of his own projects, through concise texts and photographs with explanatory captions as well as plans and drawings. The projects are grouped to illustrate seven specific aspects of housing design: Streets and Squares, Courtyards and Patios, Gardens, Halls, the Fireplace, Walls, and Roofs. Together, they constitute a multifaceted catalog of housing typologies. The author explores evolutions in residential architecture in the Netherlands. He positions his own concepts in the context of these developments and expands on what he considers the key factors of good housing design. He places particular focus on affordable housing, a pressing issue in so many countries and metropolitan areas around the world.

Résumé:
In The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture, Pier Vittorio Aureli proposes that a sharpened formal consciousness in architecture is a precondition for political, cultural, and social engagement with the city. Aureli revisits the work of four architects whose projects were advanced through the making of architectural form but whose concern was the city at large: Andrea Palladio, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Etienne-Louis Boullée, and Oswald Mathias Ungers. The work of these architects, Aureli argues, addressed the transformations of the modern city and its urban implications through the elaboration of specific and strategic architectural forms.

Résumé:
Featured projects exhibit a range of sustainable design ideas from bioclimatic strategies to more complex off-the-grid constructions that include passive designs, prefab systems, water-harvesting mechanisms, and green renovations. This publication includes eco-certification buildings and eco-design solutions to utilize advanced technologies, both "cost management plans" as well as plans geared toward more lax budgets. These projects have been completed or are ongoing in the 21st century and were chosen as successful examples of green architects meeting the individual needs and tastes of their clients. This pblication is a resource for architects, city-planners, engineers, and designers to find the knowledge and inspiration to carry us into a "green" architectural future.
