Résumé:
The Lower Manhattan Expressway (LME) was first conceived by "master builder" Robert Moses in the late 1930s as an expressway system running across Lower Manhattan. The idea was revisited by architect Paul Rudolph in 1967 when the Ford Foundation commissioned a study of the project. Had it been constructed, this major urban design plan would have transformed New York City’s topography and infrastructure. Presenting the only records of Rudolph’s visionary proposal, this exhibition catalog illuminates Rudolph’s unique approach to architectural drawing and highlights the fundamental importance of drawing in his overall practice.

Résumé:
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as found in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "write a history of the world without leaving home." The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demostrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.

Résumé:
A re-evaluation of three 'red buildings', designed by Jim Stirling : the University of Leicester Engineering Building (and James Gowan), the History Faculty and Library at Cambridge and the residential Florey Building at Queen's College, Oxford. These are buildings much praised by architects, yet hated by the members of the universities that use them. Alan Berman has drawn together essays which put the buildings in their historical context, and which explore both their radical features and their technical failings. In addition, twenty-four of today's most famous architects - including Will Alsop, Norman Foster, Richard MacCormac and Richard Rogers - explain and partly seek to defend, the importance of these radical and controversial buildings. With newly commissioned photography, as well as drawings taken from the Jim Stirling archives, this book attempts a serious re-engagement with the continuing debate between modern architects and the public.

Résumé:
Architecte et intellectuel militant au sein de nombreux courants de gauche, Roland Castro a participé à cent débats d'idées depuis ses premiers engagements. Membre de l'Union des étudiants communistes, exclu du PCF en 1965, il devient maoïste dans les années 1970, rencontre Sartre, Lacan (avec qui il entame une psychanalyse de sept ans) et introduit dans sa réflexion d';architecte des aspects politiques et citoyens. Il ouvre un cabinet d'architecte en 1979, donne naissance à l'opération « Banlieues 89 » sous Mitterrand et fonde en 2003 le Mouvement de l'utopie concrète, qui défend « 89 propositions pour restaurer le lien social », afin d'amener la société vers plus d'égalité républicaine et de justice.Dans ces Mémoires, l'architecte engagé (qui ne permettra « à personne de dire que 65 ans est l'âge de la retraite ») revient sur les épisodes de sa vie : sa naissance deux jours avant la promulgation du Statut des Juifs d'octobre 1940, qui met sa famille au ban de la société ; la fréquentation autodidacte des bibliothèques municipales ; l'engagement anticolonial durant la guerre d'Algérie ; l'attrait des révolutions cubaines et chinoises ; le « mois sabbatique » de Mai 68 ; la « méchanceté » de Sartre et la reconnaissance pour Lacan, son « sauveur » ; l'élan de SOS Racisme et la stature de Mitterrand (« je me suis toujours fait une certaine idée de moi-même ») ; sa candidature à l'élection présidentielle en 2002 ; sa passion pour la France ; le grand Paris… sans oublier les six femmes et les cinq enfants de cet homme qui plaide pour une « immaturité féconde » et une « naïveté volontaire ».

Résumé:
Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on post-war architecture is undisputed, the sunny climate and rich landscape being particularly suited to his cool, sleek modern style. Neutra had a keen appreciation for the relationship between people and nature; his trademark plate glass walls and ceilings which turn into deep overhangs have the effect of connecting the indoors with the outdoors. His ability to incorporate technology, aesthetic, science, and nature into his designs brought him to the forefront of Modernist architecture. For the first time, all of Neutra's works (nearly 300 private homes, schools, and public buildings) are gathered together in one volume, illustrated by over 1000 photographs, including those of Julius Shulman and other prominent photographers.

Résumé:
Architecte-designer et scénographe, Bruno Moinard a réalisé avec son équipe de l'agence 4B1 des boutiques de luxe, des musées, des sièges sociaux, des grands magasins, des appartements et des maisons prestigieuses. Observateur passionné par la vie, il parcourt inlassablement le monde, toujours accompagné d'un grand cartable rempli de feutres, de crayons de couleur et d'encres de Chine. Ses croquis d'architecte rigoureux et limpides ainsi que ses aquarelles enlevées et instinctives dévoilent le jardin secret de ce globe trotter. Jusque là enfouis dans des tiroirs, ces gouaches, collages et dessins, très personnels, denses et colorés, composent les pages d'un journal intime, souvent très drôle. Ils présentent les thèmes chers à l'architecte, l'amour de la couleur, de la lumière, des lignes dépouillées qui disent tout avec trois fuis rien et peuvent servir de prémices aux grandes réalisations fut ores.
