Résumé:
''Bedtime stories for architects'' is a compendium of texts, built works and graphic work by Peter Wilson. It offers glimpses of buildings by the German based office of BOLLES+WILSON, but it is not a monograph, it presents a cloud of discursive subjects and narratives, evidencing Wilson’s take on a wide range of academic, technical, cultural, and architectural issues. It has been called ‘tremendously cutting-edge’, perhaps because of the wry humor of the stories and Wilson’s witty and intelligent drawings – these extend to satirical portraits of – bankers, estate agents, property developers and a few OK people. Much of the book is organized alphabetically like a children’s book – A is for Albania, C is for Counterfactual Histories, G is for Guggenheim, M is for Malevich, O is for Olgiati, R is for Ritual. Counterfactual Histories (a concept from Borges) are paint-shop illustrated as surprising, poetic and enigmatic landscapes. ‘A Blue Review’ deconstructs a book on colour in architecture. Between the enigmatic graphic works are longer texts including Wilson’s extensive analysis of Studio Mumbai (first published in El Croquis), a longer investigation of the Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati and a history of Modernism in Wilson’s home country Australia.

Résumé:
After the Second World War, talented young architects including several from Switzerland, turned to the task of promoting the ideals of Modernism. Their main interest lay in furthering the new design and construction methods which were then being made possible by industrial prefabrication and montage, eve considering and incorporating them at the design stage. The time has now come to review this chapter of recent architectural history. This publication focuses on four architects: Werner Frey (1912-1989), Franz Füeg (born 1921), Jacques Schader (born 1917) and Jacob Zweifel (born 1921). This group of Zurich architects created buildings which can be seen to embody the typical features of the architecture emerging from the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s : fastidious construction methods, a structural approach to designing brought about by increased use of prefabricated parts, an awareness of different social needs of the individual and the group which were subsequently reflected in the designs. Using a wealth of historical illustrations together with photographs by Doris Fanconis and 8 documentary films by Georg Radanowicz, visually interpreting the architecture from a contemporary viewpoint, this book is an invaluable documentation and analysis of those buildings which are of consequence for today's architecture.

Résumé:
For almost ten years, Samuel Mockbee, a recent McArthur "genius grant" recipient, and his architecture students at Auburn University have been designing and building striking houses and community buildings for impoverished residents of Alabama's Hale County. Using salvaged lumber and bricks, discarded tires, hay and waste cardboard bales, concrete rubble, coloured bottles, and old license plates, they create inexpensive buildings in a style Mockbee describes as "contemporary modernism grounded in Southern culture." In a time when architectural attention focuses on large, glossy urban projects and palatial homes, the Rural Studio provides an alternative of substance. In addition to being a social welfare venture, the Rural Studio is also and educational experiment and a prod to the architectural profession to act on its best instincts. By giving students hands-on experience in designing and building something real, it extends their education beyond paper architecture. And in scavenging and reusing a variety of unusual materials, it is a model of sustainable architecture. The work of the Rural Studio has struck such a chord--both architecturally and socially--that it has been featured on "Oprah," "Nightline," and "CBS News," as well as "Time" and "People" magazines.

Résumé:
Thanks to digital technology and post-structuralist thought, architects and artists are facing a brave new world of bodies without organs, buildings that circumscribe their function, and art that forms a prosthetic hard drive for our consciousness. In this schema, technology, which Marshal McLuhan theorized as the extension of our bodies into the world, has become inverted and is now literally seen as modifying and transforming our relation to that world through media's ability to not only create the means of representation, its subject and content, but also organize author and audience alike. Beyond Form is both a celebration of our situation and a critical survival manual. The contributors to this volume, including artists Jennifer Steinkamp and Maureen Connor, respond to the mediating space of technology, aware that the forms of the future lie within the indeterminate content of cultural production and consumption itself, and not within the ideal of the technological sublime of modernism that had in the past reduced this issue, both performatively and iconographically, to a question of form, function and style. Essays by Neil Leach, Jeffrey Kipnis, Omer Fast, Andrew Benjamin, Donald Kunze, et al.

Résumé:
Not only is he one of the world’s preeminent architecture photographers, Robert Polidori is also--as his popular book Havana proved--a master of urban portraiture. The Montreal-born photographer has made haunting studies of bombed-out buildings in Beirut, decaying New York tenements, Versailles rooms in dusty disarray, Brasilia's paean to spare '50s modernism, and, most recently, the abandoned, contaminated cities of Chernobyl and Pripyat. Taken together, they add to his ongoing project: the interpretation of the interrupted urban landscape. This new monograph combines the eye of a celebrated photographer with the distinctive voice of an artist and adventurer. Each breathtaking image--meticulously selected by the photographer from his own personal archive--is accompanied by a compelling first person account, based on interviews conducted by Martin C. Pedersen, executive editor of Metropolis magazine. Polidori tells behind-the-scene stories about the making of his photographs, takes us to war-torn Beirut and Brasilia and other world capitals, talks about what makes a building photogenic, how he shoots buildings he doesn’t like, his favorite architects, and his love of mosques. A look at the world’s great cities as seen through the eyes of a sharp social observer

Résumé:
This 'image book' presents a themed overview of the work of the graphic designer Piet Gerards. Fifty works chosen and provided with a commentary by Gerards himself show how playful perfectionism and ironic aestheticization have come to typify his iconoclastic style of designing. A recalcitrant commitment and an interest in art history set Piet Gerards on the trail of modernism and the historical avant-garde at an early stage. Experimenting in that spirit, he developed during the course of three decades a wholly individual approach that strikes a balance between aesthetic ideals and usefulness. Ben van Melick describes and interprets Piet Gerards's development step by step: from self-taught man and left-wing activist specializing in posters and pamphlets to publisher and premiated maker of books, organizer of special cultural productions and graphic designer of many facets. Van Melick's penetrating scrutiny of Gerards's work is complemented by an exhaustive documentary overview of major biographical and culture-historical backgrounds. These forge links, unfold narratives and introduce friends in a telling account of Gerards's world. Working title: Piet Gerards, graphic designer is an unconventional portrait of an unconventional designer, agitating against the vagaries of the day.

Fifty works chosen and provided with a commentary by Gerards himself show how playful perfectionism and ironic aestheticization have come to typify his iconoclastic style of designing. A recalcitrant commitment and an interest in art history set Piet Gerards on the trail of modernism and the historical avant-garde at an early stage. Experimenting in that spirit, he developed during the course of three decades a wholly individual approach that strikes a balance between aesthetic ideals and usefulness. Ben van Melick describes and interprets Piet Gerards's development step by step: from self-taught man and left-wing activist specializing in posters and pamphlets to publisher and premiated maker of books, organizer of special cultural productions and graphic designer of many facets. Van Melick's penetrating scrutiny of Gerards's work is complemented by an exhaustive documentary overview of major biographical and culture-historical backgrounds. These forge links, unfold narratives and introduce friends in a telling account of Gerards's world. Working title: Piet Gerards, graphic designer is an unconventional portrait of an unconventional designer, agitating against the vagaries of the day.

Résumé:
Consider the notions of time, efficiency and interactivity in the context of architecture and instantly you may find your head clouded with images of technocratic modernism. Think of ecology and environmental issues in relation to buildings and what you get is either a vision of Arcadian green landscapes thinly built-on with small reed-roofed houses, or horrific projects(...)

Résumé:
Consider the notions of time, efficiency and interactivity in the context of architecture and instantly you may find your head clouded with images of technocratic modernism. Think of ecology and environmental issues in relation to buildings and what you get is either a vision of Arcadian green landscapes thinly built-on with small reed-roofed houses, or horrific projects with environmentally responsible add-ons. The smart thing to do is to think in terms of interaction, minimum use of materials and energy, and careful planning over longer periods of time, so as to reduce the environmental impact of this major human activity called building. What you then get is smart architecture. "Smart Architecture" is a lavishly illustrated, light-hearted book. The outcome of the research project that SLA Foundation presented on its smartarch website (www.smartarch.nl), it mainly consists of examples involving climate control, supplemented with new ideas on planning, building and construction and the application of intelligent systems, all contributing to sustainability. In the book challenges and opportunities are analysed, guided by numerous inspiring examples. It presents a smart way to fulfil user demands now and in roughly three hundred years' time.
