Résumé:
"The architecture of Duany Plater-Zyberk and Company is a monograph on the urban design and architecture firm started by Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk in 1980 and is now known simply as DPZ. Credited with popularizing small towns and villages as welcome alternatives to the bleak monotony of the suburbs, DPZ champions vernacular architecture (traditional buildings with ties to local culture) in neighborhoods that share the same common features that made small-town living so livable. This book illustrates representative buildings, mainly houses, that make up some of these communities in such places as Seaside, Florida, Kentlands, Maryland, and Markham, Ontario. In addition, the book showcases individual buildings that demonstrate DPZ’s reinvigoration of a simple vernacular architecture, including the Hibiscus House in Coconut Grove, Florida, and the Carambola Villas in St. Croix.

Résumé:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios offered at EPFL. Architecture Without Content 15 emerged from the Roman Architecture studio trip to the Veneto- we were looking for an architecture that we felt we could only discover in the tangible reality as found, opposed to the monumental photographs we know all too well. Stefano Graziano, our compagnon de route, was looking for something similar, as if he was pursuing a parallel project of re-appropriation, making a new set of photographs depicting another Palladio. Neon Palladio is a collection of overviews and details, fragments and relations. It is equally Palladio and Scamozzi and Sansovino.

Résumé:
This diminutive but insightful book features one of Japan's most sought-after architects, Sou Fujimoto. It comprises an interview with the architect by Noriko Takiguchi in which subjects range from specific projects, dealing with clients, and how current trends in architecture relate to his work, to the pros and cons of working alone versus being open to ideas from others and collaboration. The in-depth conversation also covers how, despite starting out with a strictly small aesthetic, commissions from around the world have spurred him to adapt a larger scale, building on the confidence he had since being a student that architectural design was his true calling.

Résumé:
Ouvrage documentant le projet d'Architectures Adelfo Scaranello pour le Musée des beaux-arts et d'archéologie de Besançon. L'édition de ce catalogue, paru à l'occasion de l'inauguration de la restructuration du musée de Besançon en nomvebre 2018, est centrée sur un moment particulier et éphémère de ce projet. On y découvre la mise en relation des espaces par la lumière, les transparences, avant que les œuvres ne soient accrochées et que le public arrive. La restructuration du musée des beaux-arts et d'archéologie de Besançon est une réalisation particulière qui réunit en un seul lieu trois architectures. Celle du bâtiment originel de Pierre Marnotte au XIXe siècle, puis l'extension dans les murs en 1967 de Louis Miquel liée au « musée à croissance illimitée » de son maître Le Corbusier, pressenti pour réaliser ce travail. Par la suite, le musée souffrant de divers dysfonctionnements et d'un manque de lisibilité architecturale, l'architecte Adelfo Scaranello a travaillé à rendre intelligibles spatialement les différentes phases historiques du lieu tout en répondant à la demande d'exploitations diversifiées d'espaces d'expositions.

Résumé:
This book traces Wallace Cunningham’s development from his youth in the architecturally rich city of Buffalo through his apprenticeship at Taliesen, where he absorbed Frank Lloyd Wright’s theory of organic architecture, to his current practice in San Diego. Eighteen case studies of his projects, both built and unbuilt, illustrate how the architect opens his structures to sky, landscape, and views, and how he uses light to define and animate space. The book also includes a comprehensive record of Cunningham's works, publications, and exhibits.
