Résumé:
This monograph discusses the role that ruins play in urban centers in terms of their meaning, testimony, and value, and the opportunities they provide. After an outline of historical and contemporary of approaches, with a special analysis of British and Italian approaches, Elisa Pilia puts forward a methodology for the investigation of the strategic values of such artifacts, and ideas for their potential contribution to a sustainable requalification of historic urban cores. The protocol is tested on the historical center of Cagliari, a mid-sized port city on the southern coast of the island of Sardinia, Italy, where the remains left by aerial bombardment during the Second World War are still a dramatic part of the controversial European debate on how to reuse ruins.

Résumé:
Sauerbruch and Hutton are among contemporary architects in their redefinition of colour as an essential material of architecture. The polychromatic treatment of their buildings created over the past twenty years reflect and concentrate the colours, forms and energies of the contemporary city. Simultaneously image and sculpture, ornament and text, they allow the complex technical reality of a building to disappear behind a powerful aesthetic experience. Beside Sauerbruch Hutton's renowned buildings such as the GSW Headquarters in Berlin, the Federal Environmental Agency Dessau or Munich's Brandhorst Museum, this book also shows their more recent work.

Résumé:
In the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of “one man at the helm” to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time. In(...)

Résumé:
In the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of “one man at the helm” to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time. In the exemplary cases and stories presented and illustrated in this volume, reflecting not only the quality of the architecture but also the great variety of contexts and professional configurations, we find the most important names of the recent past (Zaha Hadid, Cini Boeri, Lina Bo Bardi) and the present (Elizabeth Diller, Kazuyo Sejima, Grafton Architects): women at the head of large firms, who may work alone or who collaborate with other women or a partner, or who are members of collectives.

Résumé:
An eminent professor at Cooper Union and principal of her own firm, Diane Lewis is a leading figure in contemporary New York architecture. Inside Out: Architecture offers an insider's view of her work over the last 25 years, a portfolio embracing galleries, museums and performance spaces, from Kent to Paul Kasmin, Claude Bernard and the New York Kunsthalle, not to mention film studios, theaters, museums and residences. A recipient of the Rome Prize who trained at the offices of I.M. Pei and Richard Meier, Lewis creates civic works attuned to the relationships between contemporary forms and existing structural history. Inside Out brings readers a unique vision of architecture as a parallel medium to contemporary literature and conceptual art, and showcases Diane Lewis's highly articulate and accomplished designs.
