Résumé:
In the first major book on the beautiful and richly varied residential designs of John Russell Pope, "Mastering Tradition: The Residential Architecture of John Russell Pope" highlights the extraordinary houses of one of the 20th Century’s most prolific architects. John Russell Pope (1873–1937) was an architect of tradition and a master of pro-portion, massing, and scale. Drawing on a personal palette rich in historic precedents from ancient Greece to colonial America, Pope created original and refined designs that embodied the aspirations of the United States as an emerging world power. Both his private and public work - which includes the National Gallery of Art and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial - possess a poise and confidence that emanated from a disciplined approach to architectural design formed by his experiences at home and abroad. In the brief span of 35 years, Pope and his office designed several hundred buildings and monuments, including over 100 houses. His residential work spans a wide array of styles, and comprises vast estates - with integrated ensembles of living, work, and leisure buildings - town houses, country retreats, and a series of jewel-like mausoleums. The common thread running through all his work is a total mastery of the design vocabulary. In this first comprehensive and lavishly illustrated survey of his residential work, author James Garrison delves into Pope’s design sources and methods, and demonstrates how an apparently diverse body of work is related to the common theme of mastering tradition.

Résumé:
This book of essays is published to coincide with an exhibition of the same title at Sir John Soane's Museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London (October 23, 2015–March 26, 2016) commemorating the 200th anniversary of Soane's beloved wife Eliza's death on November 22, 1815. Its relevance to Soane studies, is, however, much broader, with essays shedding new light on the architecture of legacy in Sir John Soane's Museum; Soane's preoccupation with memorialization as revealed in the design process for the Soane family tomb; the legacy of his drawings collection; and Soane's attempt shortly before his death to sustain future interest in his collections by creating a series of time capsules. The essays, written by the curatorial team at Sir John Soane's Museum, are accompanied by 39 illustrations in full color, some of them published for the first time.

Résumé:
Complex, controversial, and prolific, Howard Barnstone was a central figure in the world of twentieth-century modern architecture. Recognized as Houston’s foremost modern architect in the 1950s, Barnstone came to prominence for his designs with partner Preston M. Bolton, which transposed the rigorous and austere architectural practices of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to the hot, steamy coastal plain of Texas. Barnstone was a man of contradictions - charming and witty but also self-centered, caustic, and abusive - who shaped new settings that were imbued, at once, with spatial calm and emotional intensity. ''Making Houston Modern'' explores the provocative architect’s life and work, not only through the lens of his architectural practice but also by delving into his personal life, class identity, and connections to the artists, critics, collectors, and museum directors who forged Houston’s distinctive culture in the postwar era. Edited by three renowned voices in the architecture world, this volume situates Barnstone within the contexts of American architecture, modernism, and Jewish culture to unravel the legacy of a charismatic personality whose imaginative work as an architect, author, teacher, and civic commentator helped redefine architecture in Texas.

Bringing together imaginative architectural approaches with texts by key contemporary thinkers, the two-part Informal Market Worlds explores new ways to interrupt the dominant logics of neoliberal governance. The Reader includes expert essays on urban informality, bottom-up economies and informal architectures as harbingers of social and political change. Offering a global perspective on the conflicted realities of informal marketplaces--from survival activities of the urban poor to transnational clandestine trade networks--these analyses reveal how informality has become a political instrument in the struggles around global market integration.

Résumé:
Over the last years, coinciding with the growing social movement that aims for the introduction of a real environmental sensitivity in the European society, a new generation of architects has appeared in Spain. They plan and built using passive design strategies, use techniques to reduce both water consumption and waste production and even generate energy from the active use of renewable energies. Selected projects included: Botanical Garden of Montjuic in Barcelona and the Western Beach Promenade in Benidorm (Alicante), by Carlos Ferrater; the Spanish Pavilion at the Expo 2005 Aichi (Japan), by Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera, as well as the Spanish Pavilion at the Expo Zaragoza 2008, by Franciso J. Mangado and Florencio Manteca; the Hesperia Tower Hotel, by Alonso Balaguer Asociados and Richard Roger Partnership, and the Habitat Hotel in Barcelona, by Ruiz Geli, Vito Acconci and Ruy Ohtake; and the new head offices of Endesa and Telefónica in Madrid, both projected by Rafael de La-Hoz.

Résumé:
La Cité de la voile Éric Tabarly, réalisée par l'architecte Jacques Ferrier, allie stricte fonctionnalité et élégance pure. Servant tout à la fois de point d'amarre aux légendaires Pen Duick, de centre d'exposition consacré au nautisme et de garage d'entretien, ce bâtiment se présente comme un exemple particulièrement maîtrisé d'esthétique fonctionnelle. La forme, celle, élémentaire, d'un "shed ", n'y doit rien à l'invention. Elle résulte de l'usage attendu du bâtiment, de son contexte - la base sous-marine de Keroman -, de l'intégration raisonnée des contraintes du lieu, écologiques y compris. Surélévation gracile, adjonction judicieuse d'un campanile marin, relation harmonieuse au site mais aussi facilité d'usage et hautes performances énergétiques : Jacques Ferrier signe là un véritable hommage à la logique architecturale.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage présente plusieurs références architecturales pour la mise en place ou le réaménagement de structures de soins psychiatriques. Il apporte des réponses et des perspectives à tous ceux (psychiatres, architectes et administrateurs) qui se voient confier leur réalisation. Il fait également état du débat portant sur les méthodes de travail pluri-professionnelles qui donnent la possibilité aux usagers et aux équipes soignantes d’élaborer et de faire connaître leurs attentes à des architectes et à des programmistes. On trouvera dans ce livre les communications issues du colloque « Architecture et Psychiatrie » organisé par l’APAQESM (Association pour l’assurance qualité en santé mentale) et qui s’est tenu en octobre 2001 à Paris. Cet événement a été l’occasion d’une vraie rencontre entre architectes et ingénieurs, psychiatres et directeurs d’hôpitaux, usagers et leurs proches. Plus que de simples actes de colloque, les communications rassemblées ici constituent une base de réflexion sans équivalent à ce jour, pour tous ceux qui sont impliqués dans les aspects architecturaux et organisationnels de la discipline psychiatrique.
