Résumé:
Ella Briggs (1880–1977) was a talented architect, designer, and writer whose influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. She trained with the Viennese Secessionists and brought their radical ideas to Gilded Age New York. She designed modernist housing for the masses in Austria, was jailed as a suspected spy in Mussolini’s Italy, and thrived in Weimar Germany before suffering persecution under the Nazis. Fleeing to London, she contributed to England’s postwar reconstruction. Yet despite a long and prolific career, her name is largely forgotten today. "Finding Ella Briggs" restores Briggs to her rightful place in the history of modernist design.

Résumé:
As one of the most alluring yet elusive concepts in contemporary style, glamour is an ideal that permeates our visual culture. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue radically revises our understanding of glamour in the field of fashion, industrial design, and architecture. Tracing galmour's trajectory from Hollywood's golden age to its present-day connotations of affluence, this illustrated volume presents an array of post-war couture, jewelry, automobiles, furniture and built and unbuilt architecture-all of which share an affinity for richly decorative patterning, complex layering and sumptuous materials.

Résumé:
Consacré à l'architecture des bibliothèques contemporaines, cet ouvrage retrace le parcours historique des modèles d'organisation d'espaces dédiés à la conservation de la mémoire écrite ; il s'interroge sur les schémas actuels de fonctionnement d'une institution vieille de plus de deux mille ans et pourtant en perpétuelle évolution. Partant des premiers rouleaux cachés dans les niches des temples, Aldo De Poli analyse les origines lointaines de l'édifice "bibliothèque". Du Moyen Age à la Renaissance, il nous fait découvrir ces espaces, toujours plus identifiables et mieux conçus, destinés à devenir au fil du temps des institutions ouvertes au public.

Résumé:
This edition presents two themes: wood and small-scale residential solutions. The first addresses wood as an age-old construction material, focusing on its ‘biotechnology’ aspects and intrinsic characteristics. It features eleven recent wood buildings by offices such as Ateliers Jean Nouvel, White Arkitekter, and Graham Baba Architects. The second theme looks at designs for smaller housing spaces and dwellings that are somehow related to the notion of temporary use, in answer to today’s urban lifestyle and introducing flexibility, new sharing systems, and a more communitarian way of life. It highlights projects by Pereda Pérez Arquitectos, EZZO, Arqmov Workshop, and more.

Résumé:
North America's Great Lakes country has experienced centuries of upheaval. Its landscapes are utterly changed from what they were five hundred years ago. The region's superabundant fish and wildlife and its magnificent forests and prairies astonished European newcomers who called it an earthly paradise but then ushered in an era of disease, warfare, resource depletion, and land development that transformed it forever. ''The Once and Future Great Lakes Country'' is a history of environmental change in the Great Lakes region, looking as far back as the last ice age, and also reflecting on modern trajectories of change, many of them positive.

Résumé:
When Friedrich Gilly died in 1800 at the age of twenty-eight, his architectural career spanned less than a decade and none of his major designs had been built. Nevertheless, his ideas so influenced Berlin architecture for the next century that today he is widely regarded as the founder of that city's modern architectural tradition. Framed by Fritz Neumeyer's cogent introductory analysis, these new translations of five of Gilly's essays are accompanied by previously unpublished archival records and an illuminating catalog of his personal library. The result is a provocative and novel historical perspective of an artistically vibrant epoch.
