Résumé:
Au cœur de la cité, un édifice s'élève. Les pieds bien ancrés dans la ville souterraine de Montréal, il abrite entre ses parois de verre des milliers de trésors autrefois éparpillés, entreposés, difficilement accessibles, dorénavant à portée de la main de tous les Québécois. La Grande Bibliothèque est venue combler un besoin criant : tous les jours, depuis son ouverture le 30 avril 2005, des milliers de gens font tourner ses portes. Ils y trouvent quatre millions de documents, du livre ancien à la nouveauté, des disques, des films, des journaux, des revues de partout dans le monde, des ressources pour les chercheurs comme pour le grand public. Certains en ressortent avec leurs trouvailles - chaque semaine, la Bibliothèque prête des dizaines de milliers de documents -, d'autres s'installent dans ses espaces accueillants pour lire, étudier, explorer les richesses des collections rassemblées ici. Conçu de A à Z pour faciliter la découverte de ces collections, l'édifice offre sur ses six niveaux des ambiances très différentes, de l'Espace Jeunes, royaume des petits, au dynamisme du dernier étage en passant par de nombreux endroits de calme, dont l'espace réservé à la Collection nationale, organisé autour d'une salle de lecture inspirée des bibliothèques traditionnelles. Mais cette Grande Bibliothèque s'avance résolument dans le XXIe siècle. Son enveloppe transparente est plus qu'un symbole : on y est à la fois dehors et dedans, dans la réflexion et dans l'action, et l'édifice est une ruche d'où partent des liens infinis avec le Québec en entier : grâce à une technologie de pointe, l'institution offre ses collections, ses services et son expertise à tous, peu importe où ils se trouvent.

Résumé:
A masterpiece of 20th-century architecture designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens between 1929 and 1932, the Villa Cavrois had an eventful history before its restoration and opening to the public in 2015. The man who commissioned it, Paul Cavrois, a well-established industrialist from Northern France, wanted a residence large enough to house his family and servants. His meeting with Robert Mallet-Stevens was to make his project an object-manifesto, an ocean liner rising on the heights of Roubaix, in a striking contrast with the neighbouring traditional bourgeois houses. Mallet-Stevens mastered all aspects of the design: the silhouette and geometry of the villa; the simple, yet luxurious furniture, and the materials chosen specifically for each room – marble and precious woods in the reception areas and tiles in sober colours in the bathrooms and kitchen – the lighting fixtures, the heating and sound systems.

Résumé:
Comprised of two steel and concrete towers outfitted with 140 prefabricated living capsules, the ''Nakagin Capsule Tower'' in Tokyo is one of the most iconic and influential architectural marvels of the postwar period. A touchstone of the Metabolist movement, the tower was designed by the office of Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa (1934–2007) and completed between 1970 and 1972. Each capsule was intended for single occupancy and came outfitted with its own ensuite bathroom, a foldout desk, a telephone, a reel-to-reel tape player, a Sony color television and a "porthole" window overlooking the city. In this volume of the MoMA ''One on One'' series, curator Evangelos Kotsioris delves into the groundbreaking design, construction, evolution and ultimate need for the demolition of this remarkable structure in 2022. It is published in advance of MoMA's exhibition of one of the original capsules, the first to be publicly shown in the United States.

Résumé:
"The Earth that modernism built" traces the rise of planetary design to an imperialist discourse about the influence of the earthly environment on humanity. Kenny Cupers argues that to understand how the earth became an object of design, we need to radically shift the terms of analysis. Rather than describing how new design ideas and practices traveled and transformed people and places across the globe, this book interrogates the politics of life and earth underpinning this process. It demonstrates how approaches to modern housing, landscape design, and infrastructure planning are indebted to an understanding of planetary and human ecology fueled by settler colonialism and imperial ambition.

Résumé:
Part-to-part relationships and the approach to governing their sensibilities is at the root of all architecture. The need for engaging in a dialogue around these systems is essential to contemporary architectural discourse and practice. ''Assembly'' builds on and extends the investigations of materials and representation techniques in the editors’ previous books, ''Matter and Lineament''. This book uses a collection of detailed case studies, explained by first-person authors, about experimental and innovative takes on assembling architecture. Bridging theory and practice, 17 projects and their principled approaches each demonstrate an important vein of inquiry within the topic. Essays probe issues such as latent and overt geometry, fabrication and technology, part-to-part elements, joinery and representation, material vernacular geometries, labor and place-based contextual assemblies, detailing, and pedagogical examinations. This text articulates the traditions and trends of material as the defining premise in the contemporary making of architecture. Its outcomes are applicable to beginning students of architecture and advanced practitioners alike.

Résumé:
''Fortress Power'' presents a genealogy of fortification as a material and political technology intent on obstruction, tracing its implementation across battlefields, borders, and urban environments. Drawing on the influential work of philosophers Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, Derek S. Denman places the fortress alongside the archetypes of the prison and the camp, citing them as paradigmatic of how space is transformed into a tool of domination and control. Focusing on the defensive architecture of bastion fortresses, urban design, and border landscapes, ''Fortress Power'' charts the rise of a form of governance grounded in hostility, extending the scope of its subject from a piece of military construction to a much broader political concept. Detailing how power manifests in everything from city centers to international boundaries, the book analyzes the logic of fortification as it moves through various contexts in the advancement of surveillance, exploitation, warfare, and political authority.

Résumé:
Along with the rise of Mussolini’s fascist regime, the interwar years in Italy also saw the widespread development of its modernist interior design and furnishing practices. While the regime’s politics were overtly manifest in monumental government architecture, ''Furnishing Fascism'' examines the subtler yet effective role of household goods and decor in the cultivation of Italy’s exclusionary sense of national identity. Presenting a fresh look at the work of various architects and designers, including iconic figures such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Enrico Rava, Ignacio G. Galán explores how seemingly neutral products of everyday life contributed to the propagation of fascist ideology. Through extensive promotion in popular magazines and department stores, on the film sets of Cinecittà Studios, and throughout the country’s colonial territories, Italy’s modernist design practices were part of a larger political project that aimed to produce a totalizing image of cultural hegemony.
