Résumé:
Widely regarded as one of the most significant prophets of modern architecture, Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was known throughout Vienna as an outspoken, audacious dandy and moralist who defied the establishment. His work not only represented the beginning of modernism, with its stark, unornamented style, but also revolutionized architecture by introducing the concept of “spatial plan” architecture, which allowed for economizing space by designating rooms’ sizes and heights based on their purposes.

Résumé:
Le cirque aujourd'hui est à la mode. Son lieu participe à son alchimie, ici un chapiteau, là un bâtiment stable. Son histoire est inséparable de celle du voyage. Ses premiers artistes, des officiers de cavalerie qui quittent l'armée pour s'exercer à la voltige en public, appartiennent à la culture de la vie en campement. En perpétuant la tradition du nomadisme, ils en adoptent l'architecture, dont l'attribut est l'éphémère, le matériau la toile, la structure les mâts et les tendeurs. Tout au long de l'histoire, tentes et chapiteaux ont rivalisé en beauté, luxe et prouesses techniques. De l'Egypte, la Perse, la Turquie et l'Europe, en passant par la Russie, la Mongolie et les États-Unis, ce livre nous entraîne dans la vie trépidante d'aventuriers et de conquérants qui ont construit notre monde.

Résumé:
During the last half of the 19th century, photographer William Notman captured images of Montreal. Just before the turn of the 21st century, photographer Andrzej Maciejewski retraced Notman's steps and meticulously recaptured the same views of Montreal. Not satisfied to merely re-photograph the same buildings or streets, Maciejewski methodically determined the month and time of day the originals were taken. As a result, the photographs are accurate right down to the shadows. The book also features essays by distinguished writers that explain Notman's original images and the changes that have occurred in photography and to Montreal since.

This exploration of the real and the virtual is the major theme of the book.

Résumé:
Pioneering architecture in Graz: the radical architecture project known as the Friendly Alien - the new building for the Kunsthaus Graz - was developed by the British star architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier. Within the scope of Graz 2003 - Kulturhauptstadt Europas (Graz 2003 - Cultural Capital of Europe) the city of Graz provided the possibility for the two London-based architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier to transform a visionary concept into built reality: the Kunsthaus Graz, a new and unique site for international exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. With this radical architecture project, Graz received a futuristic-looking building which satisfies to a high degree both the psychological and the functional demands of a visitor-oriented international art museum. The unusual biomorphic forms of the Friendly Alien make for a suspenseful dialog with the historic old town, especially with the century-old Graz landmark, the cubic clock-tower high up on castle hill. The documentation at hand presents the development of the Friendly Alien from a Utopian concept to a highly complex functional body. The extensive photographic material includes first-rate computer simulations and sheds light on the urban environment and its history, shows the unique architectural features of the building, and investigates with an "x-ray view" the complex network of static and technical utilities in the "skin", the nerve center of the Friendly Alien.
