Résumé:
Tadao Ando faced a new constructional challenge with the renovation of two of Venice’s iconic buildings. Approached by French magnate François Pinault to renovate two disparate but equally high-profile and challenging Venetian structures to house his collection of contemporary art—the Palazzo Grassi and the Punta della Dogana—Ando employed his signature process to produce two elegant interiors from highly complicated historic sites. The overall effect of the two different renovations is a harmony of old and new, of history and innovation.

Résumé:
In light of the increasing disengagement between urban and rural areas, this book address the interdependency of cities with ecological and technological processes outside the purview of traditional urban planning. It compiles a huge amount of essays in regards to the most important topics that cities must address today, such as their connection with global data networks, ecological cycles of resources which supersede the traditional boundaries of urbanism. For this reason, it frames investigation of contemporary urbanism on nine imminent commons grouping the urban commons into resources and technologies lead us to the arcane classification of natural resources: air, water, fire, and earth, the four elements of ancient cosmologies; and five basic technological commons based on expanded human capacities: sensing, communicating, moving, making, and recycling.

Résumé:
Working from an architect’s perspective, Eisenman, with Matt Roman, shows the evolution of Palladio’s villas from those that exhibit classical symmetrical volumetric bodies to others that exhibit no bodies at all, just fragments in a landscape. This conclusion stands in stark contrast to studies that emphasize principles of ideal symmetry and proportion in Palladio’s work. Featuring more than 300 new analytic drawings and models, this book is an important addition to the corpus of Palladian studies and a testament to Palladio’s lasting place in contemporary architectural thought.
