Résumé:
Has architectural theory become a historical phenomenon to be anthologized and studied as another passing phase in the history of the discipline? Do the current commonplace watchwords of "practice" and "research" mark the end of theory's place in architectural discourse? This edited volume posits the contrary--that theory remains urgent and even unavoidable, so ingrained in architectural practice and pedagogy that it remains a vital if sometimes latent influence. Architectural theory is not confined to its supposed heyday in the decades leading up to the year 2000; it has persisted and expanded as the stakes of theoretical discussions have transformed

Since the beginning of the century, the field of architecture has fervently turned its attention to documenting the contemporary urban condition. Every city has been examined as a repository of architectural concepts, scrutinized as an urban manifesto, and recorded as a series of found objects.

Résumé:
Since the beginning of the century, the field of architecture has fervently turned its attention to documenting the contemporary urban condition. Every city has been examined as a repository of architectural concepts, scrutinized as an urban manifesto, and recorded as a series of found objects. "The Ordinary" articulates a potential genealogy for this practice and for the genre of books derived from it. Organized around conversations with the authors of three seminal texts that document the city—Denise Scott Brown's "Learning from Las Vegas" (1972), Rem Koolhaas's "Delirious New York" (1978), and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto's "Made in Tokyo" (2001)—this volume traces the history of these "books on cities" by examining the material they recorded, the findings they established, the arguments they advanced, and the projects they promoted. These conversations also question the assumptions underlying this practice and whether in its ubiquity it still remains a space of opportunity.

Résumé:
One of the 20th century’s most significant architects, Kenzo Tange combined traditional Japanese styles with modernism, and took on major post-war urban redevelopment projects in Tokyo and abroad. In 1960, Tange – together with photographer Yasuhiro Ishimoto, architect Walter Gropius, and graphic designer Herbert Bayer – published a photobook titled ‘Katsura’, in which he questioned the conventional historical perspectives on Japanese architecture. Many previously unpublished photographs taken by Tange during the 1950s now appear in this remarkably arranged volume, giving insight to his later works. With an introduction by Saikaku Toyokawa and texts by Kenzo Tange.

Résumé:
Le 16 juillet 1929, l'aristocrate Charles de Beistegui passe commande à Le Corbusier d'un appartement-terrasse au n°136 des Champs-Élysées – l'ancien hôtel particulier de sa grand-mère. Membre de la haute bohème cosmopolite des Années folles, ce jeune dandy entend s'inspirer des fêtes légendaires se déroulant dans le penthouse de Condé Nast sur Madison Avenue (1925), et relatées dans les titres à la mode lui appartenant – dont Vogue et Vanity Fair. Mais pour Wim van den Bergh, la « machine à amuser » dont rêve Beistegui (avec périscope et baie motorisée), aurait aussi à voir avec le château et la « petite maison » Art Déco réalisés par Robert Mallet-Stevens pour ses amis Paul Poiret « Le Magnifique » (1921-1923, inachevé) ainsi que Charles et Marie-Laure de Noailles (1923-1933)... Architecte diplômé de l'Université technique d'Eindhoven, Wim van den Bergh enseigne depuis 2001 à la RWTH Aachen University d'Aix-la-Chapelle, en Allemagne.

Résumé:
Architect, urbanist, polemicist, passionate man of culture, Giancarlo De Carlo was one of the most important figures in 20th century Italian architecture. Ten years after his death, this book, which accompanies an exhibition at the Triennale di Milano, explores a lesser-known aspect of his production: freehand sketches. These small drawings, made mostly in the latter part of his life, form the somewhat private heart of his collection. Sometimes carried out according to a descriptive and functional vein towards in depth design analysis, sometimes purely creative, these sketches are suggestions, ideas or simply the entertaining result of completely personal research.

Au-delà du traité, sa poésie réside dans le dialogue du projet d urbanisme et du visage topographique du lieu dans lequel il s inscrit, et qui l inspira profondément. Il y évoque avec émotion le patrimoine historique de la ville et son potentiel endormi, rendant plus acerbe encore son échec et le regard posé sur les projets finalement mis en place.
