Résumé:
The Architecture Annual offers a selection of articles on the school's progress in research and education. Embracing a broad range of topical issues, it includes a cross-section of research performed by Faculty members and coverage of the graduation projects carried out by students in the academic year 2001-2002. This year, design research has been the main focus of activity. In addition, extensive attention has been devoted to new developments in the field of building technology, computer use, and management. The current discourse on planning issues, the network society, problems of integration, increasing individualisation, and the rise of ICT does much to define the research themes treated within its pages.

Résumé:
During the economic boom of the 1990's, art museums expanded dramatically in size, scope, and ambition. They came to be seen as new civic centers : on the one hand as places of entertainment, leisure, and commerce, on the other as socially therapeutic institutions. But museums were also criticized for everything from elitism to looting or illegally exporting works from other countries, to exhibiting works offensive to the public taste. "Whose Muse?" brings together five directors of leading American and British art museums who together offer a forward-looking alternative to such prevailing views. While their approaches differ, certain themes recur : as museums have become increasingly complex and costly to manage, and as government support has waned, the temptation is great to follow policies driven not by a mission but by the market. However, the directors concur that public trust can be upheld only if museums continue to see their core mission as building collections that reflect a nation's artistic legacy and providing informed and unfettered access to them. The book, based on a lecture series of the same title held in 2000-2001 by the Harvard Program for Art Museum Directors, also includes an introduction by Cuno and a fascinating - and surprisingly frank - roundtable discussion among the participating directors. A rare collection of sustained reflections by prominent museum directors on the current state of affairs in their profession, this book is without equal. It will be read widely not only by museum professionals, trustees, critics, and scholars, but also by the art-loving public itself.

Résumé:
"Museum Studies: An Anthology of Contexts" provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary collection of approaches to museums and their relation to history, culture, philosophy and their adoring or combative publics. This book brings together for the first time a wide array of texts that mix contemporary analysis with historical documentation. It includes five sections that highlight central themes in museum studies: issue-oriented contexts in museology; states of "nature"; the status of nations; history, memory and other locations; and arts, crafts and visitors. It also addresses the development of museums, the role of the museum in society, and issues central to contemporary museum studies opening with an introductory essay that situates museum studies in a truly interdisciplinary context and including an opening essay for each section that guides the reader through the selections. Finally, the anthology includes a bibliography and list of resources devoted to museum studies that makes the volume an authoritative guide on the subject.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage est le catalogue de l’exposition Villa Savoyehantée qui a lieu du 20 novembre au 22 décembre 2004 à la Villa Savoye. Pendant l’hiver 2003, durant un mois, l’architecte Philippe Rahm et seize étudiants de l’atelier de Jean-Luc Vilmouth, artiste et enseignant à l’École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, vont « hanter la modernité de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, en visiter les dimensions cachées, les zones d’ombres, sa part invisible.Chercher des fantômes dans la transparence du verre, révéler l’occulte dans les surfaces lisses et légères, l’ineffable dans l’architecture blanche et lumineuse d’un siècle moderne déjà passé. Il existe une contemporanéité des fantômes. » Ce catalogue présente les travaux des étudiants, en « dialogue » avec le récit de cette expérience commune. Il raconte également l’histoire de la Villa Savoye de Le Corbusier, manifeste de la modernité architecturale et classée monument historique en 1965, et propose un regard différent sur cette « pure création de l’esprit», comme l’appelait Le Corbusier lui-même.

Barr, Jr., Herbert Bayer, René d'Harnoncourt, Ray and Charles Eames, Hans Haacke, David Hammons, Philip Johnson, Frederick Kiesler, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, El Lissitzky, Adrian Piper, Lilly Reich, William Rubin, Paul Rudolph, Edward Steichen, Giuseppe Terragni, and Kirk Varnedoe.

Résumé:
The new permanent display of Architekturzentrum Wien’s (Az W) collection is a milestone in the presentation of architecture and its social dimensions. ''Hot questions—cold storage'' is published alongside this comprehensive exhibition on Austrian architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, featuring color images of all exhibits, concise texts, and thematic essays. This book reexamines the country’s architectural culture of the last 150 years, situating it in its cultural, social, and political contexts. Each chapter is prefaced by a question, asking, for example, about the impact of capitalism on our cities and villages or about the contribution architecture can make to our survival on the planet. These ''Hot questions'' bring to life the ''Cold storage''—the silent repository of the collection’s holdings. This book offers a multi-perspective narrative that presents Austria’s building history with all the developments, ideologies, and institutions it comprises. The social relevance of objects and documents is revealed through questioning and visualization, in connecting research and the museum’s mission to collect.

Résumé:
A pavilion of cycles at Expo in Hanover. An interdisciplinary work involving architecture, scenography, graphics, sound, light, film, drama and an actual tornado, created by Atelier Brückner for the Expo 2000. Dual System Deutschland, a company which is responsible for the reuse and recycling of packaging in Germany commissioned the Stuttgart firm Atelier Brückner to create a pavilion at the EXPO in Hanover which would reflect the company's vision of combining the product cycle with the environment and use of resources in a responsible way. The journey through this cycle is represented visually through the architecture and staging of the pavilion. Living plants, real objects, information, light and sound are brought together and provide an exciting backdrop for the dramatic highlight - a 25m high tornado which was generated every hour. This book shows primarily creative process leading to the final design and architecture of the Cyclebowl. Enhanced with technical details of the innovative facades, the publication is a fascinating documentation of architecture as a means of conveying ideas.
