Résumé:
"Monumento" (2022) is an installation by Edoardo Tresoldi, commissioned by Generali, promoter of the restoration of the building carried out by the David Chipperfield Architects studio. The installation is located in the space around which the monumental circular staircase of the Procuratie Vecchie ascends. Monumento uses the rhetorical language of the monumental column as a reflection both on our times and on the rhetoric surrounding those values to which our society aspires: a society that reiterates the need to redefine the concept of strength, reinterpreting the role of fragility and which proposes listening and dialogue as the fundamental points of intercultural relations.

Résumé:
This special issue’s theme is on grafting strategies in architecture, which can be seen as threefold: reinvention asks the question of what old architecture can offer new; preservation implies that the value of history is for its own sake; and restoration suggests that the purpose of history is to interact with the present. Included are sixteen recent buildings where the designers have skilfully inserted new architecture into old, in the process addressing architecture’s relationship with time and our relationship with history. With projects by John Pawson, Archstudio, Foster + Partners, Smartvoll, SUMA, Architecten de Vylder Vinck Taillieu, CASCA, Flores & Prats Architects, more.

Résumé:
This book is Robert Polidori’s portrait of the interiors of the now demolished Hotel Petra in Beirut, a grand icon of the city’s prewar history. The Hotel Petra was once one of the most popular hotels in Beirut, conveniently located in the city center adjacent to the Grand Theatre. After the Lebanese Civil War of 1975–90, Rafiq al-Hariri founded a holding company, Solidere, whose goal was the selective demolition and reconstruction of downtown Beirut’s urban fabric. In 1992 the Hotel Petra was set aside for later restoration, and from that moment essentially cut off from any human intervention.

When Álvaro Siza finished what is known as the Boa Nova Tea House in the early 1960s, it marked the beginning of his career. Set in a challenging topography, the building stands as a symbol of architecture’s identification with, and active interpretation of, the landscape.

Résumé:
When Álvaro Siza finished what is known as the Boa Nova Tea House in the early 1960s, it marked the beginning of his career. Set in a challenging topography, the building stands as a symbol of architecture’s identification with, and active interpretation of, the landscape. The composition of its low, volumetric expressiveness and surrounding rocks demands a respectful attentiveness, which until recently had been steadily deteriorating. Under the supervision of Siza, a full restoration of the building’s public spaces and a deeper intervention in its service areas has been undertaken. The book contains photographs, plans and original sketches by the architect.

Résumé:
This book accompanies an exhibition that traces the life of the great French-Swiss architect through documents, photographs, and many personal objects rediscovered following a restoration of Le Corbusier’s apartment on Rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris. Le Corbusier collected all kinds of everyday objects he called objets à réaction poétique: shells, pieces of wood, glass or bone, stones, enamelled ceramics, bricks, and common objects. Photographs and sketches of cars demonstrate Le Corbusier’s passion for vehicles and means of transport, and the tickets, tourist brochures, and postcards of monuments that the architect collected show his sentimentality for the journeys he took internationally.

Résumé:
What is “good” architecture? This seemingly simple question is connected to a wide range of criteria—just like the radical quest for “good” food, which has produced a wealth of insights over the past few decades. This book showcases buildings whose construction has been based on simple technology, good craftsmanship and careful choice of local and natural materials, as well as local development initiatives that demonstrate excellence in building quality, landscape restoration and community revitalization. The selection of case studies is broad and definitely unconventional: it encompasses Europe and Japan, and privileges lesser-known authors, unobtrusive works and marginal localities where radically fresh attitudes have been able to develop.
