Résumé:
Living with people who differ - racially, ethnically, religiously or economically - is one of the most urgent challenges facing civil society today. Together argues that co-operation needs more than good will: it is a craft that requires skill. In modern society traditional bonds are waning, and we must develop new forms of secular, civic ritual that make us more skilful in living with others. From Medieval guilds to today's social networks, Richard Sennett's book explores the nature of co-operation, why it has become weak and how it can be strengthened.

The tension between tradition and innovation is fundamental to the discipline of architecture, as architects borrow readily and heavily from past designs and yet scramble in a competition for originality.

Modern Man is a biography of Le Corbusier—a man who invented new ways of building and thinking. Modern Man is a psychological portrait of a true genius and constant self-inventor, as well as a sweeping tale filled with exotic locales, sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine Baker), and high-stakes projects. In Flint’s telling, Corbusier isn’t just the grandfather(...)

Résumé:
Modern Man is a biography of Le Corbusier—a man who invented new ways of building and thinking. Modern Man is a psychological portrait of a true genius and constant self-inventor, as well as a sweeping tale filled with exotic locales, sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine Baker), and high-stakes projects. In Flint’s telling, Corbusier isn’t just the grandfather of modern architecture but a man who sought to remake the world according to his vision, dispelling the Victorian style and replacing it with something never seen before. His legacy remains controversial today, as the world grapples with how to house its skyrocketing urban population and the cult of the “starchitect” continues to grow.

Résumé:
Deep Veils is an architecture monograph on veils, thickness, and envelopes in architecture as a counter narrative to transparency, openness, and clarity that underpin orthodox Modern architecture. The book features ten small projects completed in South East Asia between 2007-2012 that explore various architectural ideas under the rubric of “deep veils”. Each project responds to questions of envelope, surface, skin, form, atmosphere, perception and topicality. The projects represented within the book define in various ways how deep veils in architecture are manifest utilizing opaque and solid materials to produce forms of translucency, depth, and hazy atmospheres. Traced through the artistic legacies of Gertrud Arndt to Optical Art, the architectural theories of Gottfried Semper, Adolf Loos, and the work of Le Corbusier, Kahn, and Durell Stone, a new direction for architecture, perception, and thickness is put forth.

In their first decade, they have built—and won awards for—major projects in Spain, Poland, Switzerland, and other European countries. This volume is the first comprehensive monograph on the firm. While it features the standard elements of such a work—including images, drawings, plans, and contextual references for all the firm’s major works—it also aims to offer more, presenting a broader, more intellectual take on Barozzi Veiga’s output and the way that it reflects the firm’s desire to find and draw on the primal condition of each location where they build.

Résumé:
Au cours des années 1950 et 1960, Montréal est une ville qui bouge très vite. Y souffle un vent de modernisation, alimenté par le discours de la Révolution tranquille et par l'atmosphère enfiévrée d'Expo 67. Cette poussée de modernisation amène les urbanistes et les dirigeants politiques - le maire Jean Drapeau en tête - à repenser l'aménagement de la ville en n'hésitant pas à faire table rase du passé. Ceci entraîne une puissante vague de démolition de logements anciens, souvent justifiée par la nécessité d'éliminer les taudis considérés comme insalubres.
