Designed by Zak Kyes "The work, in full-colour words, pictures, drawings, films and wonderings, has been carried out from 1958 until this morning. Alongside Greene's own texts there are essays by Samantha Hardingham, Sand Helsel, Sam Jacob and Robin Middleton. 'The brink of a conceptual abyss - not a bad place to be?' David Greene (founding member of the legendary 'Archigram', this is the first monograph on his solo work) and his collaborators invite you to view projects that chart a peripatetic drift from form to invisibility, in the process illuminating the possibilities for architecture in a culture dominated by information technology. Accepted definitions and applications of new technologies are doggedly raised and questioned."

His meticulous evaluation of Modernism raised the standard of architectural historiography and has influenced new directions in theory and practice ever since.

Résumé:
A cloth edition of this book has been published by Yale University Press at $ 90,00. This engaging book presents the first critical retrospective look at the extraordinary architectural achievement of Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and their firm. Known for such prominent buildings as the Sainsbury Wing at the National Gallery in London and the Seattle Art Museum as well as such major urban revitalization plans as Washington Avenue in Miami and South Street in Philadelphia, Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates changed the face of architectural history. This husband and wife team rejected the universality of modernist design for a particularized contextual and associational approach to building, lauding the “complexity and contradictions” in the historic cityscape and “learning from Las Vegas” the value and vitality of the everyday environment. The book, which combines both biography and critical analysis, includes essays on the firm’s early and later architectural works and on their lesser-known decorative arts. It also features handsome color plates of the firm’s buildings, architectural drawings, and furniture and other decorative arts, as well as a checklist of all their buildings and projects.

Résumé:
Depuis les années 1980 et la célébration du centenaire de la naissance de Le Corbusier, l'ensemble de son œuvre a été l'objet d'une reconnaissance grandissante à l'échelle nationale et internationale. Firminy n'a pas été exclue de ce mouvement. Le récent achèvement de l'église Saint Pierre de Firminy-Vert et le projet d'inscription au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO du " Site Le Corbusier à Firminy ", constituent le couronnement d'un processus de reconnaissance sans précédent. Ce mouvement de reconnaissance est aujourd'hui à Firminy au cœur d'un vaste projet de requalification économique et identitaire dont le tourisme culturel constitue un des axes principaux. Comprendre les mécanismes et les conséquences de ce mouvement, en intégrant l'histoire et le changement de statut de ce bâti, constitue l'objet central de cet ouvrage. Fruit d'un travail commun entre chercheurs et praticiens mené sur le terrain pendant trois ans, cet ouvrage offre un éclairage spécifique sur le sens que l'on doit donner aujourd'hui à l'héritage corbuséen à Firminy, héritage dont la postérité est désormais liée aux transformations économiques, sociales et culturelles de notre époque.
