Résumé:
This ambitious study uses the concept of the familiar and the avant-garde practice of defamiliarization to reexamine some of the most important buildings of the twentieth century. The Familiar and the Unfamiliar in Twentieth-Century Architecture examines the work--written and built--of four seminal twentieth-century architects and firms: Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Aldo Rossi, and the partnership of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. In approaching the history of twentieth-century Western architecture from the perspective of the architectural subject--the person architects imagine experiencing their work--Jean La Marche reveals new insights into the ways humans are imagined in relation to architecture.

Résumé:
Otto Wagner is considered as the "father of the Viennese modernism" and one of the most important international architects. The publication on the MAK exhibition illustrates the resonance of Wagner's oeuvre by protagonists of early modernism as well as his influence on his contemporaries, students and subsequent generations of architects and designers such as Josef Hoffmann, Joze Plecnik, Leopold Bauer, Rudolph M. Schindler, Frank Lloyd Wright, Auguste Perret, Frei Otto, Aldo Rossi and Robert Venturi/Denise Scott Brown. With generous and often unknown image material the book illustrates Wagner's influence on international architecture from the turn of the century to the present, and thus a link between the intricate relationship of modernism and postmodernism.

Résumé:
Dans cet ouvrage, Rafael Moneo a réuni les cours délivrés dans les années quatre-vingt-dix à la Harvard Graduate School of Design dans lesquels il analyse les oeuvres de huit architectes contemporains : Stirling, Venturi & Scott Brown, Rossi, Eisenman, Siza, Gehry, Koolhaas et Herzog & De Meuron. Le terme d'"intranquillité", introduit dans le titre, fait référence à la manière dont certains architectes abordent leur discipline, mêlant réflexion et pratique, et produisant des essais critiques plus dictés par la recherche que par l'élaboration d'une théorie systématique qui nourrit véritablement leur oeuvre. Le terme "stratégie" peut être interprété ici comme une série de mécanismes, de procédés, de paradigmes et de stratagèmes formels qui apparaissent dans l'oeuvre des architectes contemporains : ce sont eux qui permettent de configurer leurs projets.

Résumé:
While it is widely recognized that the advanced architecture of the 1970s left a legacy of experimentation and theoretical speculation as intense as any in architecture's history, there has been no general theory of that ethos. Now, in Architecture's Desire, K. Michael Hays writes an account of the "late avant-garde" as an architecture systematically twisting back on itself, pondering its own historical status, and deliberately exploring architecture's representational possibilities right up to their absolute limits. In close readings of the brooding, melancholy silence of Aldo Rossi, the radically reductive "decompositions" and archaeologies of Peter Eisenman, the carnivalesque excesses of John Hejduk, and the "cinegrammatic" delirium of Bernard Tschumi, Hays narrates the story of architecture confronting its own boundaries with objects of ever more reflexivity, difficulty, and intransigence.

Résumé:
Manfredo Tafuri was one of the most influential architectural historians of the twentieth century, and his work continues to shape the landscape of architectural history and theory. This anthology presents—for the first time—a carefully curated selection of essays and interviews spanning his entire career, from 1964, the year in which Tafuri decided to focus exclusively on architectural history, to 1994, the year of his untimely death. These texts—most translated into English for the first time—reveal the extraordinary range of Tafuri’s scholarship, ranging from topics as diverse as the critique of architectural ideology and capitalist development, to the contradictions of the Soviet avant-garde, urban strategies in renaissance Italy, social democratic planning policies, and the work of architects including Giulio Romano, Le Corbusier, Aldo Rossi, and Carlo Scarpa.

In post-colonial Africa, «White Elephant» was the name given to buildings erected with international money and never put to use; relic of an enormous waste.

Résumé:
In post-colonial Africa, «White Elephant» was the name given to buildings erected with international money and never put to use; relic of an enormous waste. Europe has its own fair share of such mammoths: a pratically unused railway station designed by Santiago Calatrava near Lyon, the frame of an Aldo Rossi shopping mall in Berlin, a lonely feeder road in the middle of nowhere, now slowly being reclaimed by nature... On his search for new developments in ruins, the Swiss photographer Christian Helmle discovered a vast amount of monumental solitary buildings and complexes throughout Europe's cities and countrysides. Relieved of their original functions, the barren structures have lost any connection to their environments, appearing alien and surreal. Throught Christian Helmle's shots they develop their own individual, touchingly melancholic aesthetic.
