Résumé:
L’architecture de Maurice Sauzet s’est construite en dehors, si ce n’est à rebours de la pensée moderniste. Son vocabulaire, en harmonie avec l’homme et le paysage, puise au contraire dans le registre évanescent des émotions et des perceptions ; une orientation fondatrice qu’il doit à sa découverte, très tôt dans sa carrière, de l’architecture traditionnelle japonaise et de l’esprit du bouddhisme zen. Destiné à nourrir l’inspiration des architectes d’aujourd’hui, et propre à aider de futurs habitants à clarifier leurs désirs, cet ouvrage a été pensé comme un manuel, un outil concret au service d’une conception au diapason du monde. S’appuyant sur deux réalisations, une création et une rénovation de maisons, l’auteur y livre pas à pas les principes de sa pensée et sa méthode de travail. Au centre : la prise en compte des attentes de ceux qui y vivront, l’ajustement subtil au site de construction et, par-dessus tout, la recherche directrice de « prises sensibles ».

Résumé:
English architect and writer Sir Peter Cook, renowned for his free-thinking spirit translated into architectural lines and shapes, is perhaps most well-known as the co-founder of the avant-garde architectural group Archigram in the 1960s. A selection of his drawings is offered here as part of the exhibition series “Louisiana On Paper” at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Cook believes that visions of the future – whatever it might offer – are most clearly expressed and can best be discussed in drawings. In his work we encounter kaleidoscopic colours and spiralling shapes, voluntary architectural mutations, and twisting and turning buildings transforming into escapist dreamscapes.

Résumé:
''Book of ruins'' offers a survey – not encyclopedic, but substantial – of leading moments when the fact and idea of ruins were taken up by writers, travellers and artists: painters, film makers, landscape architects, and architects. Gathering together short texts and extracts that describe and reflect on ruins, dating from remote antiquity (Scipio shedding tears when viewing the destruction of Carthage) to present times (the ruins of a modern city, portrayed in the film ''Requiem for Detroit''), it provides a perspective upon what the past has meant to different cultures at different times. Following an introductory essay, the book includes 70 entries, chronologically ordered, each including an indicative image (or two), an introductory commentary by the authors, and the text itself. The texts come from designers (from Bernini through Piranesi to David Chipperfield) as well as other artists (John Piper), and from literary figures (Goethe, Wordsworth, Byron and Shelley, Hugo, and Hardy). It concludes by discussing what we do with ruins by way of preservation, conservation, adaptive reuse and appropriation, and contemporary loss and ruin, as illustrated by 9/11 and the Neues Museum and highlighting the continuing relevance of the ruin.

Résumé:
The Austrian lighting company Zumtobel Group commissioned the international architecture practice UNStudio to create its annual report for 2021/2022. Founded in 1988 by Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, UNStudio is one of the leading Dutch architecture offices in the world, and aims at designing healthy, sustainable cities that have an impact on our planet and a positive effect on people. As a collaboration with graphic design duo Bloemendaal & Dekkers, this year’s publication presents a design reflection on the theme of transformation. Using illustrations drawn from the work of UNStudio over the past 30 years, the book presents a visual investigation into the creative process, and demonstrates how ideas and concepts are developed by the practice into physical form. Through a similar thought process, the book itself is designed to undergo its own metamorphosis.

Résumé:
DIY architect, publisher and pioneer of the self-build movement, Lloyd Kahn (born 1935) is a legend of the American counterculture. Influenced by Buckminster Fuller, in 1968 Kahn started building geodesic domes, and was an editor for Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog. In 1970 Kahn published his first book, Domebook One, followed the next year by the bestselling Domebook 2. In 1971, he bought land in Bolinas and built a geodesic dome (later to be featured in Life magazine), but he soon pursued other ways to build, resulting in the classic 1973 book "Shelter." Kahn published numerous self-build books over the ensuing decades, most recently "Tiny Homes on the Move" (2014). "Shelter Cookbook" is an exploration of Kahn’s now iconic publications by the Swiss architect Leopold Banchini (born 1981) - whose practice makes emphatic use of DIY architecture culture- and the German author and curator Lukas Feireiss (born 1977). It relates Kahn’s building philosophy to contemporary practices, recording Banchini and Feireiss’ personal search for unexpected relationships between historical documents and contemporary architectural projects. The large-format volume includes interviews, photospreads and archival material on self-building, and also includes a mycological investigation. "Shelter Cookbook" will inspire architects, designers, artists and counterculture cognoscenti alike with its positive vision of the possibilities and legacy of the self-build movement.

Résumé:
Le rapport profond de Le Corbusier avec une sélection d'objets d'art non européens constitue un aspect largement ignoré de son univers. Et pourtant, le chef de file de l'architecture moderne a toujours dessiné, publié, exposé et collectionné les «arts dits primitifs», selon la formulation clairvoyante qu'il emploie dès 1935. Plusieurs formes sculptées africaines et asiatiques, qui appartiennent pour lui «aux époques les plus fertiles en invention», traversent ainsi son œuvre. Cette publication consacrée au regard que porte l'architecte sur des œuvres africaines, asiatiques ou océaniennes permet d'éclairer des aspects essentiels de la modernité architecturale, notamment les équilibres recherchés entre une essence de l'humain, que représentent des «arts dit primitifs» et un progrès technique qui tend, du moins dans un premier temps, à couper l'homme de ses racines.

Résumé:
Peter Cook's distinctive drawings have captivated and inspired generations of designers. Freed from stylistic or functional conventions, his graphic speculations have redefined the language of architectural communication. Speculations spans Cook's entire career, presenting some 160 drawings that range from student projects in the 1950s, through Archigram, to new work completed shortly before going to press. Arranged chronologically, these drawings chart the course of what can now be seen as an enthralling architectural adventure. Cook's own observations about the nature of architecture and urbanism, and the concept of the buildable, are complemented by pieces from architects Frank Gehry, Toyo Ito, Thom Mayne and Peter Wilson.
