Résumé:
Many schools have to contend with the tension between an inflexible building and constantly changing requirements for use. With this in mind, WiMBY! (Welcome into My Backyard!, a Rotterdam-based organization for revitalizing post-war housing areas) commissioned three designers to develop "SchoolParasites" as an attractive alternative to the usual trailer-type provisional classrooms. "SchoolParasites" are provisional structures, flexible in application and striking in design; the first three were erected in the Rotterdam suburb of Hoogvliet in spring 2004. The aim of the program is to put these models into production and to make them available to every school in the Netherlands and abroad. Not the Trailer documents the designs of Barend Koolhaas, Onix, and Christoph Seyferth. It also considers far-reaching questions on the interaction of education and architecture, on the inventiveness of the schools themselves, on permanence and temporariness, and on how intelligent, flexible solutions can play a role in the restructuring of post-war urban areas.

Résumé:
Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, felt that the founding and design of the University of Virginia in 1819 was his most lasting achievement. Jefferson's Academical Village centers on the Rotunda, the Lawn, and ten neoclassical Pavilions. Today, spanning 1,065 acres and the 80 buildings described in this guide, the campus features major architectural works by McKim, Mead & White, Michael Graves, Robert A.M. Stern, Hugh Stubbins, Hartman-Cox, and Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. Historians Richard Guy Wilson and Sara A. Butler take the reader on a tour of the University's heritage and recent works, from Jefferson's highly ordered nineteenth-century village to the suburban postmodern campus of the late twentieth century. Three-dimensional maps locate featured buildings on the campus and six sub-districts: The Lawn; Central Grounds; West Grounds; Health Sciences Center; Rugby Road and Carr's Hill; North Grounds; and Observatory Hill. Archival photographs and drawings recapture fragments of "lost" buildings and recall notable historic moments.

Résumé:
This study investigates the various models of public buildings and civic space through the lens of the library. It takes a critical look at the history, present, and future transformation of this significant building typology that has recently emerged as a redefined community place, social condenser, and urban incubator for knowledge generation, storage, and sharing. In particular, the library has evolved as a vibrant and vital member of community development and as a basis for outreach efforts. This book presents 40 recent public and academic libraries from around the world. As the survey of precedents shows, the historical cases have informed the design of the recent libraries and the continuous development of the building type over time. Well-designed libraries are now in abundance, and the wider view of this study includes mediatheques and learning centers. The selection of contemporary projects focuses on urban libraries in Europe (Germany, Italy, Austria, Netherlands), the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, and China.

Résumé:
Un répertoire de réalisations très contemporaines, par de grands architectes et designers. Après Boutiques et showrooms 1, Boutiques et showrooms 2 et Petites et grandes boutiques 1, voici un quatrième répertoire de l’architecture et du design des espaces réservés à la vente. Au fil des années, les boutiques ou magasins, petits ou grands, repoussent toujours plus loin leurs frontières pour se transformer en univers souvent hybrides, parfois véritablement spectaculaires. Expression de la contemporanéité au cœur du système urbain, ils se définissent comme des lieux susceptibles, par leur structure et leurs aménagements intérieurs, d’accueillir confortablement le public et de stimuler efficacement son choix. Pour les architectes et les designers, cette thématique est l’occasion de recherches toujours plus exigeantes (puisque sont en cause l’identité même et les résultats de l’enseigne) et toujours plus créatrices (en termes de couleurs, de formes et de matériaux). Domitilia Dardi, dans un bref essai préliminaire, offre de précieuses clés de lecture éclairant les problématiques du genre. L’ouvrage est complété par des notices biographiques des architectes.

Résumé:
Elaborately conceived, grandly constructed insane asylums�ranging in appearance from classical temples to Gothic castles�were once a common sight looming on the outskirts of American towns and cities. Many of these buildings were razed long ago, and those that remain stand as grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much of the nineteenth century, however, these asylums epitomized the widely held belief among doctors and social reformers that insanity was a curable disease and that environment�architecture in particular�was the most effective means of treatment. In The Architecture of Madness, Carla Yanni tells a compelling story of therapeutic design, from America�s earliest purpose�built institutions for the insane to the asylum construction frenzy in the second half of the century. At the center of Yanni�s inquiry is Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, a Pennsylvania-born Quaker, who in the 1840s devised a novel way to house the mentally diseased that emphasized segregation by severity of illness, ease of treatment and surveillance, and ventilation. After the Civil War, American architects designed Kirkbride-plan hospitals across the country.

Résumé:
Food is in architecture. We buy, cook and consume it in many different public places designed to accommodate, even enhance, these activities of daily life. Much of the urban streetscape is composed of just such places: the market, the grocery, the pub, the café and the restaurant, as well as the supermarket, fast-food outlet or takeaway. Likewise, architecture is in food. Chefs design dishes that resemble works of art but which must also stand up and be eaten. And architecture is like food. Each is fashioned from raw materials into a cultural product. We depend on both to meet ordinary needs and to celebrate special events. Architect and cook alike manipulate colour, texture and shape to tantalise our senses. Despite a burgeoning interest in many fields within the topic of food, "Food and architecture" explores the relationship between food and architecture. Featuring new restaurants in Tokyo, Sydney, London, and New York, it showcases the architectural pleasures of dining out, while interviews with restaurateur Alan Yau and designer James Soane reveal the creative thinking that makes a restaurant a theatrical experience.

Résumé:
In twelve essays, this book examines the spatial typologies and global phenomena that have defined the office in the last half century. Topics include the return of the work club, the rise of the corporate festival, the way of the charismatic guru, the shattering of the time clock, and the design of playgrounds for work. Photographic essays by Iwan Baan provide a visual post-occupancy report on a range of canonical office projects, such as Marcel Breuer’s IBM campus in Florida and the Ford Foundation’s urban garden in Manhattan. Four intervening catalogs offer collections of experimental workplace products, augural advertisements for office building components, digital office components, and renderings of speculative workplaces; each catalog bridges the reality of the office and how we imagine its alternatives. This book is a theoretical backdrop for architects as much as it is for businesspeople and employees. With curiosity and skepticism, it looks at the spaces and solutions that have been designed for human work, tracing the transformation from work to occupation, from punch cards to “playbor,” from today’s lived experience to tomorrow’s unpredictable, imagined futures.

Résumé:
What makes a building good? This central challenge facing architects and clients can only be answered by looking at what works well for those who know the buildings most intimately – the building's users. This book includes case studies of recent buildings that feel good. It is rooted in the physical but mediated by human experience, and may only be judged after the building has been ‘lived in' and stood the test of time. The trick is to identify the relevant characteristics that will inform new buildings before they are built. Written by a briefing and design evaluation expert who specialises in optimising the experience of building users, Buildings that Feel Good distils a set of hard-won lessons synthesised from years of empirical research. It argues that a powerful key to designing good buildings is to decipher consistent principles from users' positive experience of existing buildings. The case studies include many recent highly-rated projects that cover a wide range of building types – offices, retail, industrial, infrastructure, sport and education. The lessons extracted are universal and provide valuable generic insights into the critically important briefing process.
