Résumé:
This comprehensive book clearly explains every aspect of this endeavor, including design (siting, orientation, climate consideration), materials (sisal, cactus, bamboo, earth), and implementation. The author emphasizes throughout the book what is inexpensive and sustainable. Included are sections discussing urban planning, small-scale energy production, cleaning and storing drinking water, and dealing with septic waste, and all information is applied to three distinct tropical regions: humid areas, temporate areas, and desert climates. Hundreds of explanatory drawings by van Lengen allow even novice builders to get started.

Résumé:
The Making Of is the follow-up to international sensation Brecht Evens's Eisner-nominated debut, The Wrong Place. With lush watercolors and his characteristic wit, Evens details the fumbling, amateurish foibles of the participants of a small art festival in the Flemish countryside. Pieterjan is invited to a small town as an honored guest. From the moment he arrives, things start going wrong, and since no one seems ready to step in, Pieterjan takes over the show. He decides to build a giant garden gnome as a symbol of Flemish identity, but the construction process brings buried tensions to the surface as the other artists become jealous of Pieterjan's authority. In The Making Of, Evens delves deep into the petty tensions, small misunderstandings, and deadpan humor that pervade modern relationships. With a keen eye for the subtleties of body language, Even's The Making Of builds on the iconic visual style showcased in the Eisner award nominated The Wrong Place, which was published around the world. Sweeping watercolors jump off the page, surrealist scenery intermingles with crowds of people, and small suburban plot homes have never looked so lovely.

Résumé:
Michael Cho began creating drawings of the back alleys near his Toronto home in 2008. With this book, he has amassed a collection that speaks to the beauty of the urban landscape: sometimes grittily citified, sometimes unexpectedly pastoral, and always bewitching. With each season's change, different color schemes become dominant, and a whole range of moods and moments are articulated. Cho lets the reader visit his city as a virtual flaneur, lingering equally over dilapidated sheds and well-groomed gardens in a dazzling tribute to the urban environs.

Résumé:
In this publication, Victoria Newhouse addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around? Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snohetta (2008), the Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

Résumé:
Conditionnée longtemps par la fabrication d'objets pour eux même selon une visée séculaire, donc faite pour durer et donner du sens ou du moins incarner des valeurs collectives, l'architecture contemporaine énonce les transformations en cours. En cela, elle est action, spectacle, enjeu de marketing tout autant que mégapolitaine, spectrale ou hyper. A lui seul, le musée Guggenheim de Bilbao incarne ce processus de transformations où l'architecture devient événement au même titre que Disneyland, une stratégie de l'action et du spectaculaire dont, dès les années 1960, Guy Debord soupçonnait l'avènement. Surenchère économique, performativité, flux, hypermédias noient la notion d'oeuvre dans l'instant qui dilue toute production et accepte tous les simulacres. Auparavant lieu d'anticipation, le projet d'architecture devient le lieu de récits, de fictions que hante la technologie. Au site donné et contextuel, succèdent l'hyper- territoire et l'hyper-ville que décrivent André Corboz et Rem Koolhaas. Une technologie triomphante s'impose dans les outils mobilisés pour concevoir les édifices et les construire : aucunes des formes courbes, gauches, plissées actuelles ne seraient possibles sans d'importantes innovations permettant de les dessiner puis de les fabriquer.
