Résumé:
Contre l’Architecture est une charge érudite contre l'esprit dans lequel travaillent les grands architectes. A travers une multitude d'exemples, New York, Tirana, Barcelone, ou encore Paris et ses banlieues, l'auteur stigmatise les fourvoiements d'une profession qui, selon lui, a dénaturé sa fonction. L'architecture est devenue un jeu formel où l'on a perdu de vue le bien public, ce qui est désastreux pour la ville et ses habitants. Franco La Cecla s’insurge contre la transformation des villes en « marques » labellisées, et insiste sur la nécessité de repenser l’espace urbain et les pratiques architecturales afin de protéger et d’améliorer nos conditions de vie. La crise des banlieues, la détérioration de l'environnement, l'épuisement des ressources, tout devrait nous pousser à réagir pour éviter que nos villes deviennent inhabitables.

Résumé:
As a critic, stalwart nonconformist and champion of utopian architecture, Austrian architect Raimund Abraham (1933-2010) made one of the most significant contributions to contemporary architecture in 2002, with the construction of the Austrian Cultural Forum Building in New York. Following his tragic death in 2010, that year's Vienna Architecture Conference was held in his honor. This publication documents the keynote lecture, speeches and discussions held throughout the conference given by architects and artists such as Vito Acconci, Peter Cook, Kenneth Frampton, Peter Kubelka, Andrea Lenardin Madden, Thom Mayne, Jonas Mekas, Eric Owen Moss, Peter Noever, Wolf D. Prix, Alexis Rochas, Michael Rotondi, Elfie Semotan and Lebbeus Woods. The publication also includes a DVD of Abraham's now-famous last lecture, “The Profanation of Solitude,” given at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, only hours before his untimely death.

Résumé:
For over a decade now, Gmür & Geschwentner Architekten have worked in the area of urban residential development. Exploiting their intuition for context and for the needs of users, they design buildings tailored to specific locales, each characterized by two principal traits: a conspicuous delight in narrating the residential biography of the respective town, and a sensual approach to color in space. Through selected works, the exhibition “Secrets of Dwelling: What Drives the Hermit Crab into the Cozy Sanctum?” suggests how residential development can be straightforward and functional on the one hand, yet individualistic and personalized on the other.
