Résumé:
Yves Lion, réputé pour ses musées et autres bâtiments de prestige (l'ambassade de France à Beyrouth lui a valu le prix de l'Equerre d'argent en 2003), est d'abord un architecte du logement. Son œuvre, représentative d'une génération, est néanmoins peu conventionnelle : des logements expérimentaux aux logements ordinaires, du secteur public au secteur privé, Yves Lion se distingue sur la scène architecturale par la continuité de ses convictions et un certain courage face aux ruptures de la conjoncture. Original, précis et captivant, le point de vue du sociologue éclaire l'œuvre de l'architecte ; l'analyse croisée des intentions et de la réception est étayée par la vivacité des témoignages d'habitants et par la qualité documentaire des illustrations (photographies, plans, dessins, relevés habités). Photographies : Gitty Darugar, Pierre Gaudin, Adrià Goula Sarda, Jean-Marie Monthiers. Dahliette Sucheyre. Relevés habités : Émilie Bouquin.

Résumé:
Collected here for the first time in paperback are the large-scale projects Meier developed during the last decade–mature works that coincide with his celebration as one of the world’s foremost architects. His reflections on being heir to an abstract modernist ethic meld together with his concepts of the city and the contemporary landscape. Meier’s architecture privileges large public works above others, using their monumentality to imagine the possibilities of contemporary civic spaces. The recent Church for the Jubilee in Rome demonstrates the conjunction of modernity with simplicity and emotion of form, light, and material. But Meier also uses smaller-scale private commissions–such as the celebrated 173/176 Perry Street residential towers in New York–as an opportunity to explore the limits of his unique and immediately recognizable brand of modernism.

Résumé:
The Limestone Barrens Project is an international multidisciplinary investigation of the limestone cliffs and alvars in three areas: Ontario's Bruce Peninsula, Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula and the Burren in County Clare Ireland. Artists working in lens-based media (photography, video, video projection and video installation), writers, a composer and researchers walked and documented the sites so as to explore links between science, visual art, creative writing, sound and music. The project's publication is a stunning tribute to the fragile nature of these sites and their importance to our environment. Three essays, artist statements, poetry and sound recordings are accompanied by magnificent illustrations by some of the world's most distinguished landscape photographers, notably Marlene Creates, Har-Prakash Khalsa and Greg Staats. Accompanied by an audio CD. Produced in collaboration with Sir Wilfred Grenville College of Art Gallery, Newfoundland and Model Arts and Niland Gallery, Ireland.

Résumé:
Built environment surrounds us for 90% of our lives but only now are we realising its influence on the environment, our health, and how we think, feel and behave both individually and socially. "Spirit & place" shows how to work towards a sustainable environment through socially inclusive processes of placemaking, and how to create places that are nourishing psychologically and physically, to soul and spirit as well as body. This book's arguments identify important, but often unrecognised, principles and illustrate their applicability in a wide range of situations, price-ranges and climates. It shows how to reconcile the apparently incompatible demands of environmental, economic and social sustainability; how to moderate climate to make places of delight, and realign social pressures so places both support society and maximise economic viability. Thought provoking and easy to understand, Christopher Day uses everyday examples to relate his theories to practice and our experience.
