Résumé:
«En 1967, tout était beau», chantait Beau Dommage. Montréal et le Québec tout entier s'ouvraient au monde en accueillant l'Exposition universelle. Le général de Gaulle posait le pied à Québec, remontait le fleuve et, du haut du balcon de l'hôtel de ville de Montréal, lançait une petite phrase qui allait marquer l'histoire. Sur les îles Sainte-Hélène et Notre-Dame, des millions de visiteurs défilaient au coeur d'un site futuriste. Cette année-là, un jeune photographe français débarquait sur les rives du Saint-Laurent pour documenter la visite du Général. Il devait rester huit jours, il resta huit mois. Bien sûr, il témoigna du célèbre discours du président français! Bien sûr, il visita Expo 67 et raporta quantité d'images des pavillons! Mais Jean Rey, curieux et déterminé, explora le Québec à sa façon. Patient et attentif, il arpenta les rues de Montréal, construisant au fil des images le portrait saisissant d'une ville en mutation.

Résumé:
More than 90 per cent of the world's buildings, including some 800 million homes, constitute architecture of ordinary people. "Dwellings" is about the vast range of types of vernacular houses around the world. It documents the form of traditional buildings that are self-built by their owner-occupiers or built by members of a community, recording the means of construction and decoration of the house across a spectrum of different cultures. First published by Phaidon in 1987, Dwellings - in its new updated, revised and expanded format - assimilates new scholarship in the field, including the author's own research, and traces theoretical developments in the spheres of cultural geography, gender studies, sociology and anthropology. It is not only a reference work on domestic buildings, but also a useful survey for understanding how diverse communities cope with issues of climate, migration, mass development and, in turn, how this brings to life symbolic and cultural meaning in architecture.

De Paris à New York et à Rio, en passant par Pékin et Beyrouth, cette monographie dévoile les réalisations récentes et les projets en cours de l’architecte, mais aussi quelques « fictions » qui ne seront pas réalisées, comme le So Bella à Las Vegas qui en illustre la couverture. Seul lauréat français du Pritzker Architecture Prize, Christian de Portzamparc construit dans le monde entier des bâtiments singuliers, des lieux dédiés à la musique : Cidade da musica à Rio de Janeiro, New York City Opera… ; des « morceaux » de ville : des îlots ouverts sur l’east river à New-York, le quartier Masséna à Paris… ; des logements : Block 1 à Almere, Pays-Bas… ; des tours sculpturales : Tour Granite à la Défense, 400 Park Avenue à New-York… Chaque projet sélectionné raconte une histoire singulière, une aventure humaine relevant parfois de l’épopée. L’approche thématique choisie dans cette monographie s’appuie sur la présentation de projets récents majeurs et leurs connexions avec l’ensemble de l’œuvre.

Résumé:
This monograph brings together the work of the Spanish architect and urban planner Manuel de Solà-Morales in book form for the first time. The publication concentrates on his most important projects and realizations of recent years. Solà-Morales has achieved successful interventions in the urban landscape in many places in Europe: from Antwerp to Trieste, from Groningen to Porto, and from Barcelona to The Hague. For Solà-Morales the city does not consist of abstractions, but of concrete, tangible things. His projects could be regarded as an urban architecture, at the interface of architecture and urban planning. By intervening in this physical reality in a precise manner, with a building, with public space, or sometimes with nothing more than the layout of a public space, but always with concrete things, Solà-Morales effects changes in the city that often transcend the physical or spatial dimensions of the intervention. All the projects are documented extensively in word and image. Besides texts by Manuel de Solà-Morales himself, the book includes a comprehensive essay by Kenneth Frampton about the architect's work and ideas.

Résumé:
The Belgian architecture firm Conix was founded in 1979 and has, in nearly three decades led by Christine Conix, architect Sylvie Bruyninckx and interior designer An Steylaerts, grown to a staff of 55. No other firm is as widely represented along the quays of Antwerp, but that accomplishment doesn't convey the exceptional diversity of their projects, both residential and business. In recent years, Conix has received a great deal of international attention for one project in particular: the just-completed renovation of the midcentury design landmark, the Atomium, in Brussels, a replica of an atom that stands more than 300 feet high, with a different space in each 60-foot sphere, from a children's museum to a restaurant. Conix Architecten features an exceptionally sleek interior design and the book's pages are even edged in silver. With special emphasis on the Atomium, it features a selection of outstanding recent projects in 200 illustrations.

Résumé:
With a style that is as subtle as it is elegant, Hugh Newell Jacobsen has designed buildings throughout the United States and abroad, published his work regularly in magazines such as Architectural Digest and Architectural Record, and been commissioned by clients such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Meryl Streep. Although eclectic in his work, Jacobsen has found most acclaim for his private houses. Infused with a rare sense of clarity and elegance, they are serene and classically proportioned, but at the same time distinctly modern. Drawing inspiration from vernacular architecture, his designs often recall the barns, detached kitchens, and smokehouses of early American architecture. This volume presents the architect's latest endeavors, including houses, university projects, a winery, and more. This third volume of Jacobsen's work is a definitive look at the architect's mature skill and refined taste. An introduction by Paul Goldberger explores Jacobsen's signature style.

Résumé:
Novartis Campus at Basel will be an international significant place of knowledge, innovation and encounters, characterized by far-reaching visions of urban space and architecture. Peter Märklis Visitor Center is the second building to be finished in that area and will be followed by others to be designed and realized by invited architects. With his building Peter Märkli is relying on architecture's traditional terminology in order to win back lost or forgotten values. This is achieved within contemporary forms and composition and also means exposing the inherent qualities of the materials. Champagne-coloured profiles at the outside, gleaming marble at the inside, yew- and olive-wood as well as cast aluminium at the banisters and the lettering create a richness and variety of materialisation. This publication presents photos of Paolo Rosselli und Goran Potkonjak as well as drawings and sketches by Peter Märkli, showing his design strategy. Ulrike Jehle-Schulte Strathaus has written an introduction to the building, also appreciating the artistic contributions by Jenny Holzer, Alex Herter und Bringolf, Irion, Vögeli as integral parts of the building.

Résumé:
Architectural history often remains silent on the subject of how architecture is born. The VMX Architects Agenda demonstrates that this very aspect can be instructive. Within its pages VMX Architects ask : "What is it that constitutes our firm? Who or what has shaped us, influenced us, has continued to inspire us?" Leafing through ten years of office diaries they identify influences from their student years, from architectural discourse, social context and daily practice. Memories, facts, speculations and anecdotes take turns in a narrative that is both unique and generic. It is the personal history of VMX, but also the description of occurrences familiar to every architect. The sum total is a story of well-spent time, lost time, gained time and of ideals over time. The VMX Agenda is the truth, "inasmuch as truth is what we produce".
