Résumé:
In the past, buildings and other constructions representing singular moments for the community were called monuments. Their origin was expression of power, celebration of ritual or collective affirmation. In the contemporary world, a project that aspires to be exceptionally expressive is commonly called an icon.

Résumé:
In the past, buildings and other constructions representing singular moments for the community were called monuments. Their origin was expression of power, celebration of ritual or collective affirmation. In the contemporary world, a project that aspires to be exceptionally expressive is commonly called an icon. This book claims that star-architects and their “iconic” architecture are no longer valid today, as these projects are all driven by marketing machineries. Architecture should re-emerge as a credible artefact and fulfill the transcendent demands of our time.The publication begins with a series of general texts on themes that vary but all share a common critical look at the role of the iconic on the recent architecture scene.

Frequently reviled by feminists of our generation, Le Corbusier was in fact one of the few Modernist architects to give serious consideration to the role of women in contemporary society, believing them to be instigators of change and an important force in the advancement of society.

Résumé:
Frequently reviled by feminists of our generation, Le Corbusier was in fact one of the few Modernist architects to give serious consideration to the role of women in contemporary society, believing them to be instigators of change and an important force in the advancement of society. Ranging in scope from Le Corbusier’s interest in fashion, housework and sex to a close analysis of the philosophies underlying his architecture, his fascination with Orphism, his artwork and his buildings, this book examines the ramifications of his interest in feminism in all aspects of his life. A disparity between his idealised view of womanhood and the reality of the women he knew and loved is revealed. The book is essential reading for anybody who is interested in the way the relationship between the sexes impacts on architecture, and in the personal and professional life of Le Corbusier. Encompassing much new material – including the Provisional Theatre at La Sainte Baume, designed by Le Corbusier but never before published – it provides a valuable resource for those who remain unconvinced by standard histories of this enigmatic and complex figure.

Résumé:
Hermann Czech, born in 1936, is one of Austria’s most eminent and influential architects and theorists. This influence is based not only on his work as a designing architect; Czech is also widely admired for his writings on architectural theory and as the editor and translator of architectural history classics. This book is the long-awaited updated and expanded English edition of the only complete examination of Hermann Czech’s work to date. First published in German in 2018, it goes far beyond a mere presentation of an architecture practice’s buildings and projects. The first part traces what links Czech’s work to the approaches of Viennese modernism. The second part explores Czech’s biography and the trajectory of his career, analyzing the contemporary influences that shape his thinking and designs. The third part features selected buildings, unrealized projects, and Czech’s numerous references and underlying reflections. A complete index of his buildings, projects, and writings, an essay by Vienna-based philosopher Elisabeth Nemeth on the relationship between architecture and philosophy in Czech’s work, and an introduction by architectural historian Liane Lefaivre round off this volume.

Résumé:
With its head office in Munich, the architecture studio HildundK, consisting of Andreas Hild and Dionys Ottl, bases its design activities as a whole on a single premise: to produce modern architecture without the latter entering into conflict with the urban setting, historical tradition, local craftsmanship and, of course, the needs of users. Its projects are articulated around three fundamental types of intervention. The first consists of taking some datum or other of the surroundings, in particular the city of Munich, its history and building tradition, as a point of departure. The resonance of the context enables their constructed buildings to have an evocative power that goes beyond the formal. In fact, theirs is a way of doing things that is deliberately at odds with the notion of form as a starting point. Secondly, they tackle the issue of ornamentation as a basic part of their project designs by linking it to the artisanal decorative traditions of the region. Lastly, and without losing a proximity to the simplicity of traditional buildings and their decoration, they incorporate a tremendous sensitivity towards materials and contemporary technical conditions. In the last analysis, HildundK hope their architecture is understood by its users, that its cultural contents communicate and connect the public with the discipline of architecture by providing a response to their requirements. To quote Mechthild Stuhlmacher, author of one of the introductory texts: Andreas Hild and Dionys Ottl regard it as imperative to escape from an architectural discourse that is purely internal. In their view architecture must also be comprehensible to the layman if it is to survive as a discipline.

Her specialty was residential spaces—though her commissions also included an iron foundry and a macaroni factory—and she was a significant figure in the design of the emerging railroad towns just outside of Philadelphia, where she was in active practice from 1883 until(...)

Her specialty was residential spaces—though her commissions also included an iron foundry and a macaroni factory—and she was a significant figure in the design of the emerging railroad towns just outside of Philadelphia, where she was in active practice from 1883 until 1896. She was also a writer, teacher, and active participant in several reform movements of the era. Creating an archive in the absence of one, this book recovers Nichols’s forgotten story to document a career that spanned seven decades, engaging with contemporary questions about absences in the historical record, the challenges of architectural history and preservation, and the need for new tools and frameworks to address these gaps.

The large-sized volume features floor plans, sections, and elevations, all newly redrawn matching the scale of Shinohara’s originals, as well as reproductions of his hand drawings and archival photographs. Contributions by architectural historian David B. Stewart (1942–2025), who taught alongside Shinohara as professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and architect Shin-ichi Okuyama (born 1961) place the three private homes within his oeuvre and offer insights into his particular working methods. A foreword by Ryue Nishizawa, cofounder of SANAA and 2010 Pritzker Prize laureate, highlights Shinohara’s lasting significance and influence on contemporary architecture in Japan.

The range of the firm’s award-winning designs includes varied typologies such as infrastructure buildings, schools, and market halls. Yet, at the core of their work are housing projects in which challenging circumstances often lead to the emergence of very specific solutions and qualities to the benefit of both the individual house or apartment and the city as a whole. Esch Sintzel Architekten’s work is characterized by the prudent use of available resources as well as great respect for the existing fabric and its careful further development. The mastery of structural means enables them to translate technical requirements into expressive, beautiful designs.
