For that reason, this publication, which gathers together a small sample of this type of architecture, is a notable contribution that offers evidence of the contrary.

Résumé:
The use of natural stone in international architecture has gained momentum in recent years owing to countless new buildings in Germany. These have not only been influential because they reveal the technical and constructive uses of the material, but also because they show stone as an element of architectural language. Examining current building projects of notable architects including gmp, Hans Kollhoff, Ortner – Ortner, I. M. Pei, O. M. Ungers and Gesine Weinmiller, this book presents new opportunities for using natural stone in architectural and also structural contexts.

Résumé:
Depuis la découverte de la caverne, les hommes n’ont cessé d’utiliser les formations géologiques qu’offre notre planète. Il a fallu cependant attendre une date récente pour que des avancées dans le domaine de l’ingénierie structurelle permettent de considérer la surface de la terre comme un élément architectural à part entière. La prise de conscience de la raréfaction des ressources naturelles et l’influence grandissante des architectes paysagistes ont également incité certains créateurs parmi les plus prestigieux à inventer des formes qui s’intègrent à la topographie naturelle d’un lieu, la déploient, la subliment et à créer ce que l’on pourrait appeler des gratteterre en opposition aux gratte-ciel. Du terminal de tramway de Zaha Hadid en France à la bibliothèque d’Alexandrie de Snøhetta en Egypte, de la maison nichée dans une colline du Pays de Galles de Future Systems au Spencer Theatre d’Antoine Predock aux Etats- Unis, les cinquante projets présentés dans ce livre révèlent l’importance de cette nouvelle voie architecturale.

In this book Gwendolyn Wright contends that American Modernism is not merely a branch of the European Modern Movement brought across the Atlantic by émigrés and often misinterpreted, but rather an exciting and evolving hybrid of distinctive ambitions, sensibilities and cultures. From early suburbs and skyscrapers in the aftermath of the Civil War to Art Deco and other experiments that flourished in the 1920s, to postmodernism and major new projects of today, Wright explains the dynamic relationships between social and political issues, broad cultural trends and changing concepts of modern life.
