Résumé:
This book celebrates, by way of a dual narrative, the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm, designed and furnished by Gio Ponti to a commission from Carlo Maurilio Lerici. The essays aim to examine the events linked to the commission of the project itself, and to the planning and realization of the building together with its interior design. The volume contains a selection of images taken from the Institute's historical archive, as well as a new photographic reportage on the architectural and design elements featured in this building. It is well-known that Ponti took a great interest in Sweden (suffice it to think of all the space that was devoted to Swedish design in the pages of the magazine Domus from the early 1950s), yet it is fascinating to learn more and find answers regarding the dynamics that lay behind the making of this structure. Indeed, Gio Ponti managed to surpass the Swedish architect Ture Wennerholm's original idea, to breathe life into a project where the spaces, albeit organized according to function, succeed one another in a harmonious play of broken lines and different hues. Assisting him in the task were Pier Luigi Nervi and Ferruccio Rossetti. Gio Ponti gave life to a "classical modern" project in which art and architecture merge, proof that he had overcome the limits that were set by the trends characterizing that day and age. In so doing, he laid the groundwork for a new course in the cultural relations between Italy and Sweden.

Résumé:
''How will we live together?'' The extensive publication for the exhibition of the Slovenian Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Biennale seeks to answer this question through research on community centres in Slovenia. By unearthing and presenting the large-scale project of building more than 350 cooperative centres that began 70 years ago, it reveals how these centres have seen changes in the political and economic system, taken on new uses, shaped local communities, and remain relevant today. A closer look at this history provides a better understanding of indoor public spaces as social infrastructure that fosters interaction, communication, and empowerment.

Résumé:
Today, many feel fettered by insomnia, untouchability, and restrictions on movement. Looking for a more holistic approach to bodily and mental health, this book explores architectures and elementary forms of care and healing in different time periods: from the powers of sleep, touch, and travel in Asklepieia, the ancient healing temples for divine dream encounters alleviating the pain of the ailing pilgrim; to the attentiveness carried through the healing touch from the establishment of Byzantine hospitals till our times; to a pilgrimage center in modern-day Lesbos on a personal search for healing from the traumas of war and patriarchy; to the liberating and self-preserving powers of sleep as a healing response to past and current systems of oppression.

Résumé:
Au Québec, comme partout dans le monde, la gestion des inondations et de ses conséquences préoccupe depuis plusieurs années les décisionnaires, les gestionnaires et les intervenants et intervenantes de première et de deuxième lignes. Devant la nécessité de mettre à profit les connaissances acquises dans ce domaine par les équipes de recherche québécoises, le Réseau Inondations InterSectoriel du Québec (RIISQ) a invité ses membres à réfléchir autour de quatre axes: 1) les facteurs de risques liés aux inondations?; 2) la gestion et l’aménagement des territoires à risque d’exposition ainsi que les enjeux de la gouvernance et de la législation; 3) les conséquences psychosociales des inondations, les coûts économiques qui y sont associés et le partage de ces derniers; 4) la transformation et la réduction des vulnérabilités des individus et des organisations. Cet ouvrage s’adresse au corps professoral, à la communauté étudiante ainsi qu’aux spécialistes œuvrant dans le domaine de la gestion des inondations. Il leur permettra de se familiariser avec différents concepts, thématiques et pratiques à partir d’études de cas ou de recensions des écrits scientifiques portant sur l’un ou l’autre des quatre grands thèmes couverts dans ce livre.

Shulman photographed the land he had purchased for his home in the early 1940s, as well as the construction which ensued. His set of master prints of this project, spiral-bound into an album, have been kept on his studio shelves for the past 60 years. Now available for the first time, a limited edition facsimile of this body of work provides insight into Shulman’s early working methods, and his unique ability to capture not only the aesthetic, but also the emotional, intention of designs. This publication is limited to 1,000 copies, each housed in a transparent slipcase for protection.

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.
