Résumé:
Deux maisons et des bureaux sont construits sur un même terrain dans un environnement rural. Bernard Quirot et ses partenaires font du site un laboratoire reconstituant des histoires de l'habitation – l'habitat sur pilotis, l'habitat souterrain – mêlant des figures archaïques à des propositions avant-gardistes (les maisons du bush australien dessinées par l'architecte Glenn Murcutt ou la figure du bunker explorée par Claude Parent et Paul Virilio). Les trois réalisations interrogent trois matériaux et leur mise en œuvre dans une optique locale du « régionalisme critique » définit par les critiques Alexandre Tzonis et Kenneth Frampton.

Résumé:
As a critic, stalwart nonconformist and champion of utopian architecture, Austrian architect Raimund Abraham (1933-2010) made one of the most significant contributions to contemporary architecture in 2002, with the construction of the Austrian Cultural Forum Building in New York. Following his tragic death in 2010, that year's Vienna Architecture Conference was held in his honor. This publication documents the keynote lecture, speeches and discussions held throughout the conference given by architects and artists such as Vito Acconci, Peter Cook, Kenneth Frampton, Peter Kubelka, Andrea Lenardin Madden, Thom Mayne, Jonas Mekas, Eric Owen Moss, Peter Noever, Wolf D. Prix, Alexis Rochas, Michael Rotondi, Elfie Semotan and Lebbeus Woods. The publication also includes a DVD of Abraham's now-famous last lecture, “The Profanation of Solitude,” given at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, only hours before his untimely death.

Résumé:
This book is both a call to reassess the architecture profession and its education, and a toolkit for graduates and working architects to untangle their skills, passions, and value from traditional architectural practice and consider alternate pathways. Written by design professionals and expert career consultants, it is informed by numerous client accounts as well as the authors’ own stories and routes out of architecture. A wide range of architecture students, graduates, educators, and professionals will recognize themselves within the pages of this book and find prompts to reassess their working practices, teaching styles, and the profession itself. It will be of particular value to those students skeptical of joining the architecture workforce, as well as those further along and considering a career change.

Résumé:
The human body has a fundamental impact on the organization and interpretation of the world, and the built environment has accordingly been conceptualized in terms of the human body since ancient times, in theory and in practice. From Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man to Le Corbusier's "Modulor" (Corbusier's attempt to unite the imperial and metric measuring systems through a scale based on the figure of a man with his arm raised), the human body has inspired and confounded attempts to rationally construct the world. Since the 19th century, the findings of the human sciences, like physiology and psychology, have produced new understandings of the body and its relationship to the environment. The contributors to this volume aim to stimulate research in the anthropology of architecture by contributing to a critical history of the body and its cultural constructions.
