Résumé:
Light in Architecture explores the role and use of light in and around buildings from the time that Stonehenge was built through to the present day, illustrating how a greater understanding of this intangible and free material will lead us to better architecture and, ultimately, improve our quality of life. Translated from the Spanish book, La Materia Intangible, this edition explains why light is so fundamental to human perception, how its nature and use are influenced by time and place, and how it has come to be used as a tool for abstract architectural design.

Résumé:
Recent generations of farmers have reinvented the family farm and its traditions, embracing organic practices and sustainability and, along with them, a bold new use of modern architecture. The New Farm profiles sixteen contemporary farms around the globe, accompanied by plans and colorful images that highlight the connections among family, food, design, terrain, and heritage. Visit a Tasmanian sheep shearers' quarters with a dramatic coastal view and a bamboo-wrapped farm shed in Kentucky. Learn from a fourth-generation poultry breeder and newcomers who have stepped off the corporate ladder and into the barnyard. Projects include an olive oil grove and mill in California, the storied Stone Barns Center in New York, and organic farms in Canada and across Europe. An introduction places the design of these farms in a lineage of celebrated architects including William Wurster, William Turnbull, Edward Larrabee Barnes, Marc Appleton, and Tom Kundig.

Résumé:
In the interwar period and immediately following World War II, the U.S. government promoted the vision of a modern, progressive, and democratic Latin America and worked to cast the region as a partner in the fight against fascism and communism. This effort was bolstered by the work and products of many institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Using modern architecture to imagine a Latin America under postwar U.S. leadership, MoMA presented blockbuster shows, including Brazil Builds (1943) and Latin American Architecture since 1945 (1955), that deployed racially coded aesthetics and emphasized the confluence of ''Americanness'' and ''modernity'' in a globalizing world. Delving into the heated debates of the period and presenting never-before-published internal documents and photos from the museum and the Nelson A. Rockefeller archives, Patricio del Real is the first to fully address MoMA’s role in U.S. cultural imperialism and its consequences through its exhibitions on Latin American art and architecture.

Résumé:
There is no other period in the history of the Netherlands which excites such emotion, resistance or aversion as the period between 1970 and 1980. There are also varying opinions about architecture in the 1970s. Architecture at that time headed off in pursuit of new definitions and forms. Though a number of architectural movements were driven by a devoted social engagement and a profound belief in architecture as a means of moulding society, there was such a varied choice that it did not generate a single and unanimous alternative, resulting instead in polarization and pluriformity. This volume focuses on architecture, urban planning and spatial planning in the period 1968 - 1982. Remarkable and specific projects from this period are discussed and extensively documented on the basis of six themes. An introductory essay considers the context in which the architecture and urban planning changed so radically during this period. So far there has been little research into the architecture and planning of the 1970s in the Netherlands, even though it is a period when changes took on a definitive form. With the imminent demolition and renovation of much of the infrastructure and architecture of the 1970s, this book is a document that bears witness to the importance of this period for architecture in the Netherlands.

Résumé:
"Reality machines" features work by young contemporary Dutch architects, industrial designers, fashion designers, graphic designers and photographers. This book examines the stance adopted by Dutch designers in the 1990s and today. Militating against the 'makability' of a fully designed landscape, they deliberately seek to distort and alineate reality. Five themed groups - PhotoShop reality; come back effect; back to basics; no original; and are you serious? - pull the various disciplines into confrontation. An introductory article by Pauline Terreehorst charts the state of play within those disciplines; this in response to the question of how the Dutch design world will shape up in a future marked by changed economic and political circumstances. Largely given over to illustrations, the book includes work by architects (West 8, MVRDV, NL Architects, One Architecture), industrial designers (Hella Jongerius, Arnout Visser, Jurgen Bey, Marcel Wanders, Richard Hutten), fashion designers (Alexander van Slobbe, Saskia van Drimmelen, Pascale Gatzen, Aziz Bekkaoui, Niels Klavers), graphic designers (Jop van Bennekom, Daniël van der Velden & Maureen Mooren, Thonik) and photographers (Anuschka Blommers & Niels Schumm, Vivianne Sassen). Exhibition in the Netherlands Architecture Institute until April 21, 2003. Graphic design by Jop van Nennekom.

Résumé:
L’ouvrage a pour fil conducteur les rapports complexes entre les architectures et décors fictifs et les notions d’illusion, de fiction et de réalité de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge. Il s’intéresse aussi à la réception ultérieure des architectures et décors fictifs antiques et médiévaux. La première partie, « « La ville et ses monuments : fiction et mémoire », est centrée sur l’image de la ville entre modèle idéal vitruvien ou modèle mythique virgilien et imaginaire de l’espace urbain. La deuxième partie, « Architecture et décor : poétiques de la description », permet de voir qu’à travers la pratique, artistique ou littéraire, des architectures et des décors fictifs, il y a toute une poétique des rapports entre espace réel et espace fictif, entre mémoire et création. La troisième, « La représentation architecturale : entre espace fictif et espace allégorique », a pour sujet la notion d’espace symbolique, du « temple » allégorique vitruvien de l’architecture aux allégories du temple de l’âme et à la Jérusalem céleste, et de l’Antiquité à l’époque romantique.
