Résumé:
A compendium of lectures from the international architecture conference in 2005, Architecture + Art: New Visions, New Strategies looks at the fertile overlap between two competing (and complementary) disciplines. Published by the Alvar Aalto Academy, the essays explore the history of the border between art and architecture, from Aalto to Gordon Matta-Clark. What role did art play in the history of modern architecture? How did architecture influence art? What’s the current state of the balance between the two fields? Illustrated with color photographs and black and white reproductions, with a foreward by Aalto Academy Professor Eeva-Lisa Pelkonen, the thought-provoking essays strive to illuminate the mystery of overlap, from Le Corbusier to Donald Judd. In a world where Frank Gehry claims architecture is art against Richard Serra’s wishes, it’s refreshing to learn there’s more than one viewpoint at the table. The most recent publication from the Academy’s forward-thinking conferences held every summer in Finland.

Résumé:
In 1966, architect Robert Venturi published ''Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture'', a manifesto that became one of the twentieth century’s most important statements about architecture. Drawing on both vernacular and high-style sources, Venturi introduced new lessons from the buildings of architects who were well known, like Michelangelo and Alvar Aalto, and those whose work had then been forgotten, like Frank Furness and Edwin Lutyens. Arguing against the diagrammatic forms that dominated the field at that time, Venturi made a case instead for “the difficult whole.”

Résumé:
In the early 1960s, Italian design legend Bruno Munari published his visual case studies on shapes: Circle, Square, and, a decade later, Triangle. Using examples from ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as works by Buckminster Fuller, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto, Munari invests the three shapes with specific qualities: the circle relates to the divine, the square signifies safety and enclosure, and the triangle provides a key connective form for designers. For the first time, this trilogy is published as a single volume.

Résumé:
L'étude des tours de la Borde permet d'illustrer un mode spécifique d'habiter " en hauteur ", l' " unité de voisinage " procédant d'une logique qui cherche à atteindre de hautes densités par la construction de bâtiments élevés. À cette époque, ce choix a donné lieu à des débats animés et, curieusement, fait encore de nos jours l'objet d'intenses discussions. L'étude des tours de la Borde met en perspective la qualité d'une réalisation d'inspiration organique, dans le sillage des trajectoires humanistes de Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Hans Scharoun, Otto Senn ou Ernst Gisel.
