Résumé:
Montréal, Canada’s second largest city and the centre of the francophone province of Québec, is a sprawling and green metropolis where French, British, and American architectural traditions meet. Many buildings and streets bear witness to the influence of the Parisian École des Beaux-Arts; there are structures in the tradition of the Chicago School; and the city also has an extensive heritage of both elegant Art Deco and massive Brutalist edifices. This book presents a total of 130 buildings and projects from the almost 400-year history of the port city on the St. Lawrence River. This journey through time is complemented by guest contributions from renowned experts, for example on the original Northern Deco style, the buildings of Expo 1967, and art in Montréal’s metro.

Si la formule "la forme suit la fonction" est mondialement connue, son texte d'origine l'est beaucoup moins. Publié en 1896, La tour de bureaux artistiquement considérée s'inscrit pourtant au cœur de l'école de Chicago et de la réception "artistique" de l'académisme et de l’École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Sullivan a conçu dix ans plus tôt l'Auditorium Building -alors le plus gros bâtiment de l'Ouest américain - vient de contribuer à l'Exposition Colombienne dans la nouvelle "Ville Lumière" que d'aucuns appellent Paris-sur-Prairie et débat par articles interposés avec Dankmar Alder, son ancien employeur et associé (1881-1895), sur l'avenir des "grands" immeubles de bureaux en passe de devenir des icônes de l'architecture moderne et américaine : les "gratte-ciel"...

Résumé:
Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Paul Goldberger’s tenure at The New Yorker has documented a captivating era in the world of architecture, one in which larger-than-life buildings, urban schemes, historic preservation battles, and personalities have commanded an international stage. Goldberger’s keen observations and sharp wit make him one of the most insightful and passionate architectural voices of our time. In this collection of fifty-seven essays, the critic Tracy Kidder called “America’s foremost interpreter of public architecture” ranges from Havana to Beijing, from Chicago to Las Vegas, dissecting everything from skyscrapers by Norman Foster and museums by Tadao Ando to airports, monuments, suburban shopping malls, and white-brick apartment houses. This is a comprehensive account of the best—and the worst—of the “age of architecture.”

Résumé:
The artist (born in 1961 in Madrid, resident in Chicago) has been creating multiform works that deal with social and political borderline situations for over a decade. His work demonstrates how certain powers and systems, whether natural or created by human beings, affect the world we live in. This is a comprehensive documentation of the exhibition The Krefeld suite: installations in the two Mies Villas in Krefeld. Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle , multimedia artist and Mies van der Rohe specialist, has created a cinematographic installation especially for the Krefeld Mies Villa, where he shows the relationship between their architecture and the “architecture” of icebergs. The installations are built around the theme of time in the dynamic relationship between prehistoric, historic and contemporary time.

Résumé:
American cities' penchants for single-use zoning and free-market development in pursuit of economic growth have produced problems that have long been recognized: grueling commutes and dependency on automobiles, social isolation, expensive public infrastructure, needless destruction of countryside. Eminent domain disputes rage on, despite recent Supreme Court decisions. Outdated public housing and failed single-function projects litter the landscape. Addressing these urgent problems and debating the public's role in urban planning, the contributors to Urban Planning Today report on real projects in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York, Omaha, Portland, and Vancouver. They bring varying, and sometimes divergent, perspectives from backgrounds in urban design and development, city and regional planning, criticism, and law to bear on the mixed bag of results observed in these cities.

Résumé:
From 1938 to 1958 Mies van der Rohe planned and built the new campus for the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Limited funding demanded extreme financial prudence and the imagination of the architect was fired by this challenge. With load-bearing brick walls, skeletal structures constructed out of visible reinforced concrete and steel, Mies created a masterpiece of simple elegance. The clarity and structure of the basic form has proved to be an enduring solution for the various classrooms and laboratories over the years. With concise texts and expressive images, this book captures the essence of these institute buildings which together with the book on Crown Hall, the Department of Architecture at ITT, presents an indispensable documentation of these epoch-making buildings.
