Résumé:
In this publication, Victoria Newhouse addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around? Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snohetta (2008), the Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

Résumé:
All the great cities of the world have witnessed the birth of bars and restaurants in the image of a new generation - a free and pleasure-loving generation who frequent them and identify with them. Today leading architects and designers have yielded to the temptation to try their hands at what was yesterday still considered a minor genre. From Philippe Starck to Aldo Rossi, from Gaetano Pesce to Ron Arad, all have enthusiastically taken part in this new adventure in design. This book offers nineteen lively places, often colourful and impertinent, always lively and playful, in a host of cities from New York to Mexico City, from London to Barcelona.

Résumé:
Gae Aulenti est une créatrice éclectique, passionnée et provocatrice. Née en 1927, elle apparaît sur la scène internationale de l’architecture contemporaine comme une personnalité complexe, qui explore transversalement et tout à la fois l’architecture, le design industriel, les arts graphiques, l’architecture intérieure, la muséographie et la scénographie. Les édifices, les objets, les musées, les intérieurs ou les décors qui portent sa signature témoignent tous d’une conception du métier d’architecte ouverte aux expérimentations les plus novatrices. Paradoxalement, ce sont ses réalisations “en intérieur” qui proposent des espaces les plus “urbains” : la réhabilitation en institution muséale de la gare d’Orsay à Paris (1980-1986), une des oeuvres qui ont contribué à la renommée de l’architecte, n’est autre qu’un parcours urbain, composé de rues et de places, à la fois lieu de déambulation et de halte. Et à Orsay comme dans chacune de ses réalisations, Gae Aulenti travaille sur le thème du détournement et de la subversion de tout principe hiérarchique entre figure et fond et entre espace interne et espace externe.

Hannes Meyer: Co-op interior

(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
In his Co-op Interieur (1926)—a simple corner of a room known only in a photograph— Swiss architect Hannes Meyer (1889–1954) gave expression to a radical, antibourgeois style of interior. Comprised only of a bed, a lamp, two chairs and a gramophone on a table, he imagined this room for the nomadic urban worker. Through the absence of people, objects and spatial features(...)

Résumé:
In his Co-op Interieur (1926)—a simple corner of a room known only in a photograph— Swiss architect Hannes Meyer (1889–1954) gave expression to a radical, antibourgeois style of interior. Comprised only of a bed, a lamp, two chairs and a gramophone on a table, he imagined this room for the nomadic urban worker. Through the absence of people, objects and spatial features as much as by the distinctiveness of its design, Meyer was proclaiming an alternative principle for housing, proposing that architecture and design were intended not to fulfill historically determined needs but to overcome their constraints. Historical photographs of the interior and three provocative essays on ownership, minimalism and the “unhomely,” by Brussels-based architecy Pier Vittrio, Mexican architect Raquel Franklin, and Gree architect Aristide Antonas, respectively, explore the layers of meaning within Meyer’s mise-en-scène manifesto on collectivity and utility as a counterpoint to ownership and private property.
