Focusing on Germany in the early 20th century, one of modernism's most foundational and influential periods, it examines the different scientific and artistic color theories which were advanced by members of the German avant-garde, from Bruno Taut to Walter Gropius to Hans Scharoun.

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.

Résumé:
The pioneers of ecological architecture today are necessarily researchers as much as architects, in any conventional sense of the term. Sustainability is the key criterion in this field, and ecologically sound solutions for the designs of homes are the key challenge (homes the most commonly built structure). Ecological Living assesses a selection of some recently built ecological habitats, collecting several built examples from a variety of French architects, examining precursors such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Pierre Lajus, plus proposals for European architects and architecture students and inquiries into the ecological viability of detached housing and tower blocks.
