Résumé:
Olafur Eliasson, one of today's most acclaimed contemporary artists, and David Adjaye, a rising architecture star, have engaged in a unique collaboration. Eliasson's light installation "Your Black Horizon," which debuted at the 2005 Venice Biennale, was conceived from the start as a hybridization of both of their practices. The piece consists of a light, representing a horizon line that emanates through a narrow gap in an architectural structure. This is the only light source, and it runs around the entire dark gallery space, without any visual obstruction. The optical illusion that is achieved is that of a reversed horizon line. This publication is presented in conjunction with the installation of this project in Croatia. Critic and curator Daniel Birnbaum, writer Eva Ebersberger and curator Daniela Zyman contribute in-depth essays, which are accompanied by large-scale spreads of the project.

Ce livre regroupe une sélection de bâtiments qui en région Grand Est ont obtenu le label « patrimoine du XXe siècle », devenu depuis le 7 juillet 2016 le label « architecture contemporaine remarquable ». Dus à des architectes de renom international (Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel), à des maîtres d’œuvre plus modestes ou à des ingénieurs, les exemples proposés sont soit exceptionnels dans leur programme (la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme à Strasbourg ou l’attraction « Anaconda » du parc Walygator, près de Metz) soit parfaitement représentatifs d’une typologie singulière à certains moments du siècle (comme la Reconstruction post-conflits, la construction de grands sièges sociaux d’entreprises dans les années 1970 ou les piscines Tournesol) et font appel à des matériaux et des techniques de mise en œuvre variés.

Résumé:
This book presents examples of prefabricated architecture in a contemporary context, with special emphasis on more ecological models. Prefabricated constructions represent a more effective use of resources, a reduction in construction time and a minimization of the generation of waste. These attributes imply a reduction in the ecological footprint of such constructions, and in the case of residential architecture may represent the optimum balance between the size of the module and the real time it will be used for. As well as offering new solutions for prefabricated homes, New Prefab, also focuses on cases related to ephemeral architecture (stands, mobile offices, pavilions), situational architecture (refuges, information centers) or public installations.

Résumé:
"Singapore Architecture" portrays the intruiging architectural heritage of Asia's crossroads city. Singapore's exotic mix of people and colourful history is reflected in the city's architecture. The early temples, shop houses, and colonial monuments are documented, through to the growth of the modern city and a skyline which reflects Singapore's role as a global city. The broad spectrum of Singapore's buildings is displayed with private houses, public buildings, public housing, shrines, mosques and office towers. The major landmark buildings of downtown Singapore have been designed by celebrated international architects. The recent work of local architects represents a unique and dynamic mix of cross-cultural influences, combining Asian style with a thorough knowledge of Modern architecture.
