Résumé:
The Air from Other Planets introduces an architecture built and controlled by amplifying and designing the energy within our electromagnetic, thermodynamic, acoustic, and chemical environment. This approach to design exchanges the walls and shells we have assumed to be the only type of attainable architecture for a range of material energies that develops its own shapes, aesthetics, organizational systems, and social experiences.

Résumé:
Architecture et technologies sont étroitement liées bien qu'évoluant à des rythmes différents. Leurs relations sont donc complexes et leurs rebords ponctuent l'histoire de l'architecture. Malgré leurs discours rationalistes, les mouvements modernes n'ont jamais vraiment su ou pu conjuguer l'un et l'autre, une dichotomie qui aujourd'hui se perpétue; la pratique architecturale n'intègre en effet que très ocasionnelement les acquis de technologies toujours plus performantes, celles notamment concernant les économies d'énergies, l'autosuffisance et le respect d'environnement naturels. En témoigne l'extraordinaire indigence de formulations architecturales incorporant les systèmes de capteurs solaires ou celles des projets à prétentions écologiques. Ces indigences ne sont pas rédhibitoires. Des architectes se sont intéressés à ces technologies dites douces et les ont saisies pour développer des projets d'entités autosuffisantes, de bâtiments à haute qualité environnementale. Les formulations en sont souvent hétérogènes, parfois spectaculaire mais jamais gratuites qui annoncent la maturité d'une autre génération d'architectes, l'éclosion d'une architecture susceptible de mieux répondre aux préoccupations d'une époque cherchant à préserver son avenir. C'est là le sens de cet ouvrage dont le contenu montre que si la discipline d'architecture exprime son temps, elle sait aussi anticiper. ////////////////////////////////// Whilst France’s contemporary architecture is highly regarded throughout the world, her architects have hardly been leading protagonists in the debate on ecological building. The developments featured in this book, however, should serve to correct this impression. Between 1999- 2002 Electricité de France (EDF) initiated an ambitious research programme to bring together first-class architects and innovative technologies involving renewable energy, strategies to reduce energy consumption, newly developed software programs to support ecologically oriented architectural design etc. The goal was to create sustainable and aesthetically pleasing architecture. This book documents the buildings, some of which have already been realized, resulting from this experiment which attracted participation from both established and also younger architects. Amongst those included are Jean-Yves Barrier, Gilles Bouchez, François Chochon, Adrien Fainsilber, Jacques Ferrier, Manuelle Gautrand, Christian Hauvette, Dominique Lyon & Pierre du Besset, Marc Mimram, François Roche, François Seigneur & Sylvie de la Dure, Francis Soler, Mirto Vitart & Jean-Marc Ibos. Marc Emery was Chief Editor of the magazine "Architecture d’Aujourd’hui" and is an expert on the French architectural scene.

Résumé:
Hassan Fathy, the Egyptian architect known for his recognition of the potential of vernacular forms as a vital force in contemporary architectural design, sought to integrate the traditions of Islamic art with his modern visions for living. Guided by Fathy's principles, Ahmad Hamid, an architect who collaborated with Hassan Fathy in the Institute for Appropriate Technology, identifies questions about the nature of Islamic art and its building culture, as well as the origins of modern architecture. This book provides new insights into Hassan Fathy's profuse, pathbreaking design documents and built projects, while exploring the socioeconomic, environmental, psychological, and esthetic components of Fathy's work in the light of a quest for a new universal modernity for the twenty-first century.

Résumé:
Individually and in partnership, as architects, educators, and advocates, the four principals of Platt Byard Dovell White Architects have made an indelible impression on the contemporary and historic architecture of New York City and beyond. In projects that range from historic preservation--the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center in Central Park and the Supreme Court of New York's Appellate Division First Department--to modernist interventions--the Saginaw Art Museum in Michigan and New 42nd Street Studios near Times Square--the firm's work is notable for its balance of innovation and tradition, of working within an urban context while contributing to that context. The first monograph on this award-winning firm, Architecture on Architecture illustrates the philosophy of Platt Byard Dovell White in its presentation of buildings and projects. Portfolios of twenty-three institutional, commercial, and residential works are complemented by two essays--one by noted critic Kenneth Frampton--and a lively timeline showing the personal and professional evolution of the architects.

Résumé:
Illnesses, wellness, and architecture are inseparable. Medical professionals and architects have always been in a kind of dance, often influencing one another, though the dance is not always synchronized. Drawing from a wide range of historical and contemporary case studies from ancient Greece to twentieth-century India to present-day New York City, Sick Architecture highlights a topic that has shaped our lives from the very beginnings of architecture to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. "Sick Architecture" goes beyond the sicknesses recognized by the medical profession to ask: What aspects of society may be ill, in need of care, or subject to pathologization? Similarly the book goes beyond physical buildings and cities to interrogate architecture’s policy protocols and spatial logics.
