Résumé:
This book is the first publication on the building of the Academia Belgica in Rome, a residence for Belgian researchers and artists and a centre for scientific and cultural activities. Constructed between 1937 and 1939 by the Italian Gino Cipriani and the Belgian Jean Hendrickx-Van den Bosch, in a style both modernist and Art Deco, the building has maintained not only its original exterior but also in large parts its interior decorations and even furniture. The authors investigate the conception and realisation of the original building and its interior design programme, within the context of the cultural and political exchange between Belgium and Italy in the inter-war period. This richly illustrated volume includes original photographs of the building and its furniture, architectural plans, drawings and designs, plus a new series of commissioned photographs of the building by Belgian architectural photographer Maxime Delvaux.

Résumé:
Ce volume présente des œuvres et des projets de Christoph Hesse Architects. Il s'agit de pavillons réalisés pour la documenta quinze de Kassel, de lieux ouverts, c'est-à-dire d'installations conçues comme des espaces de rencontre, de régénération de bâtiments en ruine transformés en musées ou en espaces publics. L'approche des projets est en phase avec l'esprit profond de la communauté, désireuse d'essayer de nouvelles choses et de les mettre en œuvre. Le studio aime penser à des projets qui, d'une manière ou d'une autre, déclenchent un processus pour construire différemment, toujours envisager de nouvelles perspectives, sortir des sentiers battus. L'intégration dans un processus de collaboration avec des personnes créatives de professions et de compétences différentes, la recherche d'une identité profonde, d'une construction écologique et autosuffisante sont des aspects présents dans le travail du studio, ainsi que la nécessité de rétablir un lien entre les individus, l'environnement et l'architecture.

Résumé:
''Primitive future: Everything is circulating'' is dedicated to twelve projects by Sou Fujimoto Architects that have either been realised or are in planning. In the first room of the exhibition, twelve films provide insights into the process of designing the multifaceted typologies and forms. The reference to Fujimoto’s architectural philosophy is presented in the second room of the exhibition: an expansive installation expresses the notion of an connected world based on twelve floating wire objects. They can be read in a line as people, nature, geography and architecture, circulating as a metamorphosis. Depending on the viewpoint, various scales and scenes can appear as a three-dimensional drawing in a space that is connected and stands in harmony with various things.

Résumé:
If you were asked to close your eyes and envision where you are happiest, would you picture somewhere inside a building? North Americans are inside buildings for more than 90% of the day. Meanwhile, the indoors are stifling us, sometimes even killing us. Buildings, and the materials that make them up, expose us to materials linked to negative health impacts. The construction and operation of buildings is responsible for 40% of climate-changing carbon emissions. In the US, the design choices made by the typical architecture firm employee each year can reduce emissions by about 300 times that of an average American. But the promise of sustainable architecture will not be realized if sustainability remains a secondary consideration for architects. What if great design were defined by its ability to cool the planet, heal communities, enhance ecological functioning, and advance justice? In "People, planet, design," architect Corey Squire builds the case, provides the data, and lays out the practical tools for a transformative human-centered architecture. This approach integrates beauty and delight with an awareness of how every design choice impacts the community, the planet, and the people who will use the building. Outcome-focused with a deep dive into practical design strategies, the book showcases ten building systems that embody design excellence.

Résumé:
Ce manifeste, à la croisée de l’architecture, de l’esthétique et de l’ingénierie, appelle à réactiver le sens pratique de la décoration d'intérieur, tel qu’il existait avant le XXe siècle. Les fonctions climatiques des tapis, tapisseries, rideaux, miroirs ou paravents ont été oubliées avec la modernité. Ces objets ont été réduits à leur seule dimension symbolique par l’efficacité des dispositifs énergivores de chauffage ou de climatisation. La nécessité de réduire aujourd’hui les émissions de CO2 et l’énergie consommée, ainsi que la lutte contre les canicules appellent à reprendre en compte la valeur thermique de l’art décoratif du passé, à repenser les modes d’aménagement intérieur, leurs configurations spatiales, formelles et matérielles dans une nouvelle optique de performance climatique : une esthétique décorative propre au XXIe siècle que nous proposons de nommer le « style anthropocène ».

Résumé:
In ''The Villa'', James Ackerman explores villa building in the West from ancient Rome to twentieth-century France and America. In this wide-ranging book, he illuminates such topics as the early villas of the Medici, the rise of the Palladian villa in England, and the modern villas of Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Ackerman uses the phenomenon of the 'country place' as a focus for examining the relationships between urban and rural life, between building and the natural environment, and between architectural design and social, cultural, economic, and political forces. ''The villa,'' he reminds us, ''accommodates a fantasy which is impervious to reality.'' As city dwellers idealized country life, the villa, unlike the farmhouse, became associated with pleasure and asserted its modernity and status as a product of the architect’s imagination.
