Since its foundation in 1987, Bennetts Associates has won numerous awards for its work and has established itself in the UK as one of the leading architecture practices of its generation. This is the first book to examine the firm's ethos and the themes behind its buildings. Four aspects of Bennetts Associates’ work are considered in depth-perception, form, construction and process-drawing on over 30 built projects in detail, as well as many others in various stages of design and construction. These projects, include Hampstead Theatre, the Wessex Water Headquarters, Brighton Central Library and the New Street Square development in the City of London. Each of the underlying themes is examined in turn by four well-known writers or commentators - academics Richard Weston and Peter Carolin, design process theorist Frank Duffy and art consultant Vivien Lovell.

"Two minds" is a major volume exploring and critiquing the subject of collaboration between artists and architects. Interest and activity in this field is growing rapidly, making this book a timely consideration of an important phenomenon. The book documents 18 projects funded through the RSA Art for Architecture scheme and focuses on work by internationally renowned figures such as Mark Dion, Chris Ofili, David Adjaye and Herzog & de Meuron, alongside that of emerging practitioners. As well as containing in depth case studies, "Two minds" features commissioned essays by Philip Ursprung and Cara Mullio which explore key issues surrounding collaborative practice. A range of topics are discussed, including the high level of support for art and architecture schemes in German speaking areas of Europe, the recent move of many so-called ‘gallery’ artists into the public domain and new ways of working that are opened up through collaboration.

Résumé:
"Out of the ordinary" is a detailed account of current work by Pollard Thomas Edwards architects (PTEa), accompanied by an overview of the career of this prominent practice. Innovators in both design and business strategies, PTEa have been pioneers of urban property development since they were established in the 1970s, and their radical methodologies continue to influence contemporary architecture, even as they continue to evolve. PTEa's innovations have now become absorbed into standard urban design practice; this book shows how they continue to build upon their own radical approach in their most recent projects, including the development at City Road Basin, which houses their own offices among new mixed-use buildings and public gardens. PTEa's work, in its emphasis upon context and the accommodation of the new within the old, is doubly 'out of the ordinary'; by emerging from and working within 'ordinary', existing structures, they are a truly extraordinary practice.

Résumé:
As suggested by the work of Yves Klein, this book is not about colour rules or colour theory; instead it takes pleasure in the oscillation between the aesthetic and the conceptual, materiality and immateriality, the object and the void, purification and mystification, and between erasure and colouring in. Colour is celebrated for its immanence, its quality of being in the world, but also the potential it has to open up a psychic space, a world of lost feeling; with literally the power to take us over, colour us in. "Colour after Klein" explores the significance of colour as it emerges in the work of 20 of some influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including Yves Klein, Donald Judd, Bruce Nauman, Louise Bourgeois, Andy Warhol and James Turrell. Featuring an introduction by curator Jane Alison, an essay that explores the place of colour in the work of Yves Klein by art historian Nuit Banai, and profiles of each of the contributing artists, this book provides a new perspective on key works of Modern and contemporary art. Also included in the book are artists' writings on the subject of colour, with pieces by Klein, Judd and Hélio Oiticica. This book accompanies the exhibition "Colour after Klein" at the Barbican Art Gallery, London, 27 May to 11 September 2005.

Résumé:
Whether representing pioneering spirit, implying large horizons and wide open spaces, or epitomising economic travel with a comfortable change of scenery, camper vans and RVs share a common aspiration: the need to create a ‘home away from home’. This book illustrates the culture, style and philosophy of camper van and RV travel by looking at the owners and their clubs. Stories of road trips, adventures and epic voyages provide an exciting backdrop to the extraordinary history and present status of freewheeling transportation. "Home away from home" explains the cultural and social history of the camper van and RV by looking at a range of phenomena from surf and hippy culture to family holidays and travel in retirement years. A range of iconic vehicles from the VW Bus and the Airstream to the Winnebago will be looked at in detail, within the context of their technical developments as well as the design strategies that dictated their appearances. Finally, "Home away from home" explores future possibilities for independent camper van and RV travel, alongside contemporary approaches to 'compact living'.

Pour cette génération de photographes, la ville n'est pas le sujet de leur enquête, mais plutôt le contexte. Pour ces artistes, la ville évoque les aspects sociaux, politiques et judiciaires de la société, tout en étant un endroit de travail, d'échange et de divertissement. Les artistes expriment ainsi leurs travaux un point de vue particulier sur la réalité urbaine, qu'il s'agisse du territoire physique ou de l'espace social. Artistes participants : Christian Barré, Martin Désilets, Isabelle Hayeur, Emmanuelle Léonard, Pavel Pavlov et Myriam Yates. L'essai est accompagné de textes d'artistes.

Résumé:
Un espace intime fait de matériaux chauds et de surfaces murales colorées, couvert par des voûtes en brique et illuminé par des baies vitrées judicieusement placées, une belle cheminée entourée de niches pour accueillir des objets d'art et d'artisanat, amoureusement choisis - ce n'est pas l'image habituelle de la machine à habiter. L'idée reçue d'un Le Corbusier froid, austère et puritain doit être révisée lorsque l'on a visité et observé les maisons que l'architecte a bâties pour la famille Jaoul, à Neuilly, à quelques pas de la place de l'Étoile. L'historiographie corbuséenne a bien noté la richesse formelle du Le Corbusier de l'après-guerre - celui de la chapelle de Ronchamp, du couvent de la Tourette, ou encore des grands édifices projetés pour Chandigarh - mais a peu mentionné les Maisons Jaoul qui peuvent pourtant être célébrées comme un des chefs-d'œuvre de la maturité corbuséenne. Cette monographie relate l'histoire de ce projet auquel Le Corbusier a consacré quatre ans de travail intensif de 1951 à 1955, en amicale collaboration avec la famille Jaoul. Leurs témoignages rassemblés dans cet ouvrage, ainsi que les documents d'archives et les photographies du chantier, donnent un éclairage original à l'histoire des maisons.
