Résumé:
Julia Morgan was a lifelong trailblazer. She was the first woman admitted to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed to practice architecture in California. Over the first half of the 20th century, she left an indelible mark on the American West. Of her remarkable 700 creations, the most iconic is Hearst Castle. Morgan spent thirty years constructing this opulent estate on the California coast for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst—forging a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with him. Together, they built a spectacular and unequalled residence that once hosted the biggest stars of Hollywood's golden age, and that now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. This compelling biography draws on interviews, letters, and Morgan's diaries, including never-before-seen reflections on faith, art, and her life experiences.

Résumé:
This volume showcases decolonizing projects which work to destable and disquiet colonial built environments. The land, towns, and cities on which we live have always been Indigenous places yet, for the most part our Indigenous value sets and identities have been disregarded or appropriated. Indigenous people continue to be gentrified out of the places to which they belong and neo-liberal systems work to continuously subjugate Indigenous involvement in decision-making processes in subtle, but potent ways. However, we are not, and have never been cultural dopes. Rather, we have, and continue to subvert the colonial value sets that overlay our places in important ways.

Résumé:
Architecte, théoricien, dessinateur, polémiste, Claude Parent est une figure de l’histoire de l’architecture du xxe siècle qui a su cultiver une certaine singularité. Il aura été le premier en France à opérer une profonde rupture épistémologique avec le modernisme. Produisant de multiples articles, ouvrages, dessins-manifestes et projets, il a cherché à défendre ses « desseins » pour inviter à repenser notre cadre de vie. Exigeant, critique, provocateur, d’une opiniâtreté farouche, Claude Parent n’a cessé de proposer des lieux de contradiction générateurs de doute, d’inquiétude et d’instabilité, excluant toute passivité face à l’architecture. Sa production protéiforme, abordant tous les programmes, y compris les plus inattendus comme les supermarchés et les centrales nucléaires, est ici considérée dans un continuum biographique.

Résumé:
Bricks can be cleaned, timber hardens with age, and metal develops a pleasing patina without deteriorating, making them all perfect for reuse. Considering the many options for reusing building materials, this book offers a viable alternative to using those manufactured from virgin resources. This inspiring book is an antidote to the unsustainable use of materials, focusing on contemporary homes made with reused components or materials that might once have been considered waste. Divided into four key categoriesbrick— timber, metal, and a range of recycled materials— every home showcases design ingenuity and award-winning architecture. Featuring twenty-four unique houses and apartments, from a barn-inspired house made entirely with reclaimed bricks to a semidetached Edwardian with recycled benchtops and cabinets made from plastic chopping boards and bottle tops, every project shows what can be achieved with creativity and flair. Reclaimed showcases clever design while celebrating the myriad possibilities of closely aligning building with ethics and sustainability.

Résumé:
All over the world, housing units with miniature formats are en vogue. The trend towards the Tiny House and other micro-living concepts is more than just a short-term hype. The limited available floor space promotes a focus on the necessary, at the same time constituting an attitude towards life, a contemplation and concentration on the essentials in a universal sense. This volume presents a wide variety of sophisticated approaches from every continent. The multitudes of architectural styles, interior design and construction methods show how space can be used most efficiently through intelligent floor plans, cleverly conceived storage solutions and nesting of functions. They highlight in very different ways that great living quality can be wonderfully created in small spaces.
