Résumé:
Inner Space is part of an ongoing research project into the construction of the architectural imagination. It sets out to investigate the space between the inner and outer realities, a space that could be inhabited and explored in itself, looking for those moments in which the two realms interact most vividly. Besides, it also identifies two parallel and strictly intertwined movements intervening in the construction of architectural imagination: a collective one and an individual one, two spheres complementing each other. The aim is to identify imagination as an immersive territory that can be experienced, crossed and even inhabited, defined as a human ability which partly relies on a collective process.

Résumé:
For millennia, disused buildings have been cannibalized for the construction of new ones. Yet, in today’s world, what is known as circular architecture raises a multitude of questions and challenges with regard to technology, safety, energy, and associated legal aspects. This book is a unique compendium of circular architecture. Richly illustrated, it explores comprehensively through essays and illuminating conversations between experts all the questions and challenges that architects and engineers face with circular architecture designs. It is based on the case study of the K.118 project in Winterthur, Switzerland’s largest building to date that consists mainly of re-used parts. Since its outset in 2018, the K.118 project has been evaluated within the framework of an interdisciplinary research with regard to aspects of design and engineering, energy, economy, processes, and legal issues. This volume presents the results in striking visuals and concise texts.

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.

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:
The publication Arts for Living takes a close look at the Abrons Arts Center, a community-art facility on the Lower East Side of New York, as a case study for architecture designed to address issues of public space and community life. The Center was built during the 1970's fiscal crisis and designed by Prentice, Chan and Ohlhausen as a cultural institution with new educational facilities intended to enable, foster, and serve the everyday activities of the local low-income population. The notions of public architecture and architecture education will be framed through three topics: the architecture and urban space of the Abrons Arts Center itself; the programming and activities at the Abrons Arts Center within the context of architectural education; and a larger survey of the environment of the Lower East Side, in terms of its cultural, social, and political context.

Résumé:
In Buildings Must Die, Stephen Cairns and Jane Jacobs look awry at core architectural concerns. They examine spalling concrete and creeping rust, contemplate ruins old and new, and pick through the rubble of earthquake-shattered churches, imploded housing projects, and demolished Brutalist office buildings. Their investigation of the death of buildings reorders architectural notions of creativity, reshapes architecture’s preoccupation with good form, loosens its vanities of durability, and expands its sense of value. It does so not to kill off architecture as we know it, but to rethink its agency and its capacity to make worlds differently.
