Résumé:
In 1960, before his skyscrapers and teapots made him a household name, Michael Graves set out on a journey once considered obligatory for a young architect: a grand tour of the great monuments of Europe. As a recipient of the prestigious Prix de Rome, Graves traveled through Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, England, Germany, and France, studying and recording the masterworks of both ancient and modern architecture. "Michael Graves: Images of A Grand Tour" collects for the first time the stunning artwork produced during this trip. Delicate pencil sketches, striking ink washes, and colourful photographs show the deep connection Graves had to the places he visited, from the Roman Forum to the Grecian Acropolis to Wiltshires Stonehenge. They also tell something of the education of an architect, bringing to light the classical buildings that caused Graves to reexamine his early devotion to modernism. A foreword by Graves reflects on these travels from the distance of forty years, while author Brian Ambroziak puts the tour into the context of Graves's life and work.

Résumé:
‘Borgata’, ‘favela’, ‘périurbain’, and ‘suburb’ are but a few of the different terms used throughout the world that refer specifically to communities that develop on the periphery of urban centres. "In what’s in a name?" editors Richard Harris and Charlotte Vorms have gathered together experts from around the world in order to provide a truly global framework for the study of the urban periphery. Rather than view these distinct communities through the lens of the western notion of urban sprawl, the contributors focus on the variety of everyday terms that are used, together with their connotations. This volume explores the local terminology used in cities such as Beijing, Bucharest, Montreal, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Sofia, as well as more broadly across North America, Australia, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere. What’s in a Name? is the first book in English to pay serious and sustained attention to the naming of the urban periphery worldwide. By exploring the ways in which local individuals speak about the urban periphery Harris and Vorms bridge the assumed divide between the global North and the global South.

Depuis ses débuts modestes comme apprenti d’un tailleur de pierre, Palladio s’est élevé jusqu’à devenir l’architecte en chef de la République de Venise, alors épicentre de l’innovation européenne. Il y a créé les églises du Redentore et de San Giorgio Maggiore sur le promontoire qui avance entre le canal de la Giudecca et la lagune. Palladio a bâti la mondialement célèbre basilique, ainsi que la villa Rotonda et le Théâtre olympique dans la ville voisine de Vicence, tout comme plusieurs villas rurales dans la campagne de Vénétie, qui se distinguent par la rencontre entre l’architecture locale, vernaculaire, des structures classiques et la présence de portiques qui ménagent des espaces de transition entre intérieur et extérieur. Les villas palladiennes et la ville de Vincence sont aujourd’hui classées au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.

Résumé:
Published in 1923, Toward an Architecture had an immediate impact on architects throughout Europe and remains a foundational text for students and professionals. Le Corbusier urges readers to cease thinking of architecture as a matter of historical styles and instead open their eyes to the modern world. Simultaneously a historian, critic, and prophet, he provocatively juxtaposes views of classical Greece and Renaissance Rome with images of airplanes, cars, and ocean liners. Le Corbusier's slogans�such as "the house is a machine for living in"�and philosophy changed how his contemporaries saw the relationship between architecture, technology, and history. This edition includes a new translation of the original text, a scholarly introduction, and background notes that illuminate the text and illustrations. Jean-Louis Cohen is the Sheldon H. Solow Chair in the History of Architecture at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. He has written extensively on Le Corbusier's work. John Goodman is a translator and art historian. He has rendered some thirty books from French into English.

All of the libraries in the world-whether small or large, public or private-serve the same purpose: to preserve, cherish, or show off the riches of human knowledge. Now, for the first time, an internationally renowned photographer takes the reader on a journey to more than 20 of the most historic of these magical places, all architectural treasures. From the dramatic, baroque Library of the Institut de France in Paris, to the splendid Vatican Library in Rome; from the majestic Royal Library in El Escorial, Spain, to the famed New York Public Library, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece-here are some of the most exquisite libraries of the Western world. Included are national, scholarly, and religious libraries from 12 countries, which have in common a distinguished heritage and an architectural setting that emphasizes art and culture. The accompanying text traces the history of libraries to the present day, and describes how they came to serve famous personalities and men of letters. Libraries must be counted among civilization's crowning achievements; this elegant book is a fitting tribute to that accomplishment.

Résumé:
Lina Bo Bardi, the Rome-born architect, emigrated after World War Two to Brazil, a country where she undertook her professional career. The outcome of her personal experience and of a wish to get closer to the culture and ways of life of the people, Bo Bardi’s creativity moved in the direction of an architecture that prized simplicity, spontaneity, the residual and the ephemeral; an architecture understood as 'an organism suitable for life' which incorporated everydayness and the energy of the people who use it. As a result she used the word ‘substances’, rather than ‘materials’, to explain what her architecture was made of. These substances are air, light, nature and art, to which the author, Olivia de Oliveira, adds time. The work of Lina Bo Bardi, then, is presented here via a huge array of previously unpublished drawings, images, writings and projects that enable the reader to grasp in a kaleidoscopic way the power and current importance of her architecture as a critical confrontation with established reality.

Résumé:
In ''On Bramante,'' architect Pier Paolo Tamburelli considers the work of the celebrated Italian Renaissance architect Donato Bramante and through this reappraisal suggests a possible agenda for current architectural practice. Bramante, Tamburelli argues, offers an excellent starting point to imagine a contemporary theory of space, to reflect on the relationship between architecture and politics, and to look back—with neither nostalgia nor contempt—at the tradition of Western classicism. Starting from a discussion of the difference in the work of Bramante in Milan (1481–1499) and Rome (1499–1514), Tamburelli highlights the peculiarities of Bramante’s architecture, especially in comparison to that of his predecessor Leon Battista Alberti and successor Andrea Palladio. This in turn opens up new possibilities for appreciating his spatial experiments, and to derive from Bramante’s abstraction and disassociation of form from function a revised theory of space for contemporary architecture. Such a theory might even advance a newfound political understanding of classicism, and a model—perhaps more valid now than ever before—for a public architecture.

Résumé:
Borromini a été très présent aux yeux des Suisses sur leurs billets de banque, mais que sait-on de cet architecte célèbre, né près de Lugano en 1599 ? À Rome, où il séjournait à l'Institut suisse, l'écrivain contemporain Etienne Barilier se prit de ferveur pour le maître du baroque dont la vie nous est restée inconnue, à part son suicide. Du grand rival de Bernini demeurent les oeuvres. Il ne fut pas facile de percer les secrets de l'Oratoire des Philippins, de Saint-Charles-aux-Quatre-Fontaines, de Saint-Yves-de-la-Sapience... C'est par des visites assidues et des observations fascinantes qu'ont repris chair, en ces pages, de grandes figures du dix-septième siècle romain et le créateur d'une architecture éminemment personnelle. Il ne sera plus possible de fondre les travaux de Borromini dans "le baroque", car on perçoit ici une destinée d'artiste qui va seul. Il demeure sans âge par sa passion des matières et des ordonnances constructives, mais frappé d'un respect aigu, on dirait pascalien, du limité et de l'illimité.

Résumé:
Borromini a été très présent aux yeux des Suisses sur leurs billets de banque, mais que sait-on de cet architecte célèbre, né près de Lugano en 1599 ? À Rome, où il séjournait à l'Institut suisse, l'écrivain contemporain Etienne Barilier se prit de ferveur pour le maître du baroque dont la vie nous est restée inconnue, à part son suicide. Du grand rival de Bernini demeurent les oeuvres. Il ne fut pas facile de percer les secrets de l'Oratoire des Philippins, de Saint-Charles-aux-Quatre-Fontaines, de Saint-Yves-de-la-Sapience... C'est par des visites assidues et des observations fascinantes qu'ont repris chair, en ces pages, de grandes figures du dix-septième siècle romain et le créateur d'une architecture éminemment personnelle. Il ne sera plus possible de fondre les travaux de Borromini dans "le baroque", car on perçoit ici une destinée d'artiste qui va seul. Il demeure sans âge par sa passion des matières et des ordonnances constructives, mais frappé d'un respect aigu, on dirait pascalien, du limité et de l'illimité. Dans les mandats les plus contraignants il révéla son génie.
