Résumé:
En mai 1911, Le Corbusier débute un voyage qui le mènera à Prague, Vienne, Budapest, Istanbul, mont Athos, Athènes, puis Pompéi et Pise avant de regagner la Suisse où il construira, en souvenir de ses impressions, deux villas : l'une surnommée blanche et l'autre turque. Trois aspects caractérisent cet ouvrage et éclairent son importance : ses qualités purement littéraires, la progressive transformation de la personnalité de l'auteur au fil du parcours, le rôle de ces leçons dans son processus de conception tout au long de sa vie. Ce voyage éclaire le rapport de l'auteur entre inspiration et création. Hormis le récit qu'il tire de ses découvertes, Le Corbusier remplit plusieurs carnets de dessins, croquis et annotations (certaines pages sont reproduites dans l'ouvrage). Sa vie durant, il retournera à ces études de l'année 1911 pour ressourcer sa créativité et y puiser la matrice de ses formes nouvelles. Le récit est accompagné d'une postface analysant le rôle des voyages dans le travail de Le Corbusier et d'une introduction présentant le contexte de ce déplacement.

Conversations with Paolo Soleri offers timely thinking in response to our global environmental crisis. Drawn from the visionary architect's personal notebooks and sketchbooks, Soleri's most recently (2004–2009) documented ideas respond to contemporary issues such as climate change, oil dependence, suburban sprawl, and overconsumption. Soleri outlines a detailed proposal for urban reformulation and renewal, appealing to architects, urban planners, environmentalists, urban historians, philosophers, ethicists, and anthropologists. Two essays and a new interview covering the breadth of Soleri's career round out this accessible introduction, offering a useful overview of Soleri's work.

Résumé:
The Architectural League Prize is an annual competition, series of lectures, and exhibition organized by the Architectural League and its Young Architects and Designers Committee. This year's theme: It's Different. Every generation thinks it is special, new, and different and ours is no exception. What perhaps may make the claim stronger for the current generation are the circumstances: global networking and integration, and global economic and security crises; environmental activism and environmental catastrophe; virtual revolution and physical stagnation. Against these challenges and in light of the fundamental ruptures of the Great Recession, the committee posits that the future will operate on a wholly different paradigm.

Résumé:
Beyond a design school, the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) is an immersive environment — a dense atmosphere saturated with creative and intellectual activity. Platform 4 represents a selective sampling of agendas cultivated at the GSD during the last academic year, revealing a diverse mixture of projects, research, and events. Organized as a searchable database, this publication documents both site and situation at the GSD—it is an institutional index. While Platform 4 records research trajectories from the past year, it also has the capacity to set agendas for future work. By framing a set of issues and topics, Platform 4 focuses attention towards particular areas of interest, allowing individual work to build on and contribute to a larger body of disciplinary knowledge. In that sense, the themes within this book become projective, they provide frameworks for future inquiry.
