Résumé:
Italian Edition. This book, with texts by Cesare Maria Casati, Francesca Cerruti, Guido Musante and Giorgio Tartaro, documents the conception and construction of the modern Headquarters of the AB Medica industrial group in Cerro Maggiore, designed by architect Giuseppe Tortato 10 years after its construction. Inspired by the hulls of super-fast boats, the project for the new AB Medica Headquarters expresses the dynamism and innovation of a group at the forefront of research, combined with attention to energy saving and the psychophysical wellbeing of its workers. A ‘fast’ and functional building that, at the same time, represents the activities it contains with its forms. Eco-sustainability, industry, creativity and experimentation, sun exposure, elimination of motorway noise pollution, and workers' wellbeing are the main points of the project tailor-made for the client.

Résumé:
Ce roman graphique poétique retrace l’histoire fascinante d’un coin méconnu de Montréal : le carré Chaboillez, plaque tournante d’un quartier aujourd’hui mieux connu sous le nom de Griffintown. Espace public avorté et maltraité, ce lieu porte en lui les échos de deux siècles de transformations incessantes. À la croisée de trois faubourgs, d’anciens marais et de rivières ensevelies, il fût tour à tour refuge, carrefour industriel et terrain de jeu pour des promoteurs audacieux et avares, comme l’odieux personnage historique du livre, Séraphin Rodier. De l’arrivée du chemin de fer à l’ivresse des tavernes meurtrières de la Dow, des boulevards démesurés aux autoroutes souterraines, des inondations répétées aux incendies dévastateurs, cet impressionnant travail pictural inspiré, du réalisme poétique de l’illustrateur Gustave Doré et de Tardi, explore les traces et les absences d’un quartier qui n’a cessé de se réinventer.

Résumé:
Published to mark the architect’s centennial, this illustrated book celebrates Frei Otto’s groundbreaking achievements in creating lightweight architectural structures and pioneering sustainable design practices. Featuring insightful essays by leading scholars and a thematic overview of his most important works, the book investigates Otto’s mastery of tensile structures, his innovative application of biological principles to architecture, and his trailblazing use of unconventional materials and construction techniques. Otto’s forward-thinking approach paved the way for energy-efficient and environmentally conscious architecture long before these ideas became mainstream. With plans and photographs from the saai archive for architecture and civil engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, which highlight the influence of natural concepts in his work, this monograph serves as an essential introduction to a visionary architect who provided a blueprint for creating sustainable, functional, and harmonious buildings.

Résumé:
A publication based on "Pandemic objects", an editorial project that compiles and reflects on objects that have taken on new meaning and purpose during the Covid-19 pandemic. During times of pandemic, a host of everyday often-overlooked "objects" are suddenly charged with new urgency. Toilet paper becomes a symbol of public panic, a forehead thermometer a tool for social control, convention centres become hospitals, while parks become contested public commodities. By compiling these objects and reflecting on their changing purpose and meaning, the project aims to paint a unique picture of the pandemic and the pivotal role objects play within it.

Résumé:
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Edgar Kaufmann Sr., his wife, Liliane Kaufmann, and their son, Edgar Kaufmann jr., Fallingwater is lauded for its architectural daring and drama. Here the Kaufmanns sought to live in harmony with the natural world. The rooms of the house reflect this ideal and remain suffused with a natural aesthetic that embraces stone and wood, handwork and craftsmanship. In the living room, the great stone floor flows riverlike toward the horizon of Wright–designed built-in sofas and large-paned casement windows, where views open to balconies, to forest, and to cascading falls. From here “the hatch” opens to the flowing stream below. Pools and the waters of Bear Run were beautiful and for swimming. Relaxed elegance was the order of the day. Delicacy, softness, tactility are everywhere in evidence.

Résumé:
The Madrid-based studio Gutiérrez-delaFuente Arquitectos (GdlF) takes on a paradoxical challenge: in an almost entirely built urban landscape, they care for the unbuilt environment. Instead of focusing only on new architecture, the team led by Natalia Gutiérrez and Julio de la Fuente adapts existing spaces, revealing their hidden potential. Their approach – working with the already-there – understands the unbuilt as a crucial component of an ecological transformation. The exhibition at Aedes, curated by Kaye Geipel and Gutiérrez-delaFuente Arquitectos, presents sustainable strategies for improving in-between spaces through selected projects in Germany, Belgium, Spain, the UK and Switzerland. A central element is the film installation European Encounter Cabinet, in which international experts close to the studio share their perspectives on the future of architecture and urban planning in European cities and territories.
