Résumé:
In this third, revised edition of his eidely acclaimed book, Dr. Geoffrey Baker explains the complexities of Le Corbusier's oeuvre using a three-dimensional diagrammatic analysis to identify major themes and influences. The narrative and fine illustration, enhanced by the inclusion of color plates, cover the key buildings from the four developmental stages of his work, making it an excellent guide for architect and student alike. Inclusion of the Pavillion Suisse in this volume reminds us of the transitional nature of this building in which the use of natural material, stone, and curved forms reveals fresh lyricism in Le Corbusier's oeuvre. Inclsuion of the Villa Shodhan in India concludes the cubic domestic progression that begins with the Maison Citrohan, developing through such key examples as the La Roche Jeanneret houses, the Villa Stein-de-Monzie, Villa Savoye, and Villa at Carthage.

This book is the celebration of small buildings, those unexpected structures that make us momentarily pause to ponder their meaning, or our own meaning, or simply to appreciate the elegance of their creation. From the spectrum of functions and styles of these structures, it is clear that size imposes no limits on creativity, and utility is no constraint to beauty.(...)

This book is the celebration of small buildings, those unexpected structures that make us momentarily pause to ponder their meaning, or our own meaning, or simply to appreciate the elegance of their creation. From the spectrum of functions and styles of these structures, it is clear that size imposes no limits on creativity, and utility is no constraint to beauty. Thonking small is a wonderfully constructive exercise.

Résumé:
Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Society, was also active in the field of architecture and the arts. His designs for the two Goetheanum buildings at Dornach, near Basel, together with the many residential and functional buildings grouped around them have met with great admiration. In his architecture, Steiner sought to realize a form of building which would reflect his sense of spiritualism, and it is his unusual but innovative use of concrete and his expressive timber forms which are of interest to architects today. This book provides a long-awaited overview of the most significant and interesting buildings on the Goetheanum hill. Detail photographs and panoramas in duotone are accompanied by comments by Werner Blaser and an introduction by Walter Kugler, administrator of the Steiner estate.

Résumé:
Les correspondances de Le Corbusier permettent une approche de leur auteur plus fine et plus nuancée que bien d'autres sources. Elles éclairent la personalité de cet homme abrupt et affectueux, austère et sensuel, timide et agressif, âpre et généreux. Elles peuvent contribuer à démêler les contradictions d'une personne complexe.

Résumé:
The work of the Austrian architectural office Delugan-Meissl has on the one hand a cosmpolitan flair, yet on the other it is marked by a decidedly urban and sustainable design philosophy. Evident in their striking projects are specific features running like leitmotif through their work: their distinctive use of the landscape and of previously undeveloped sites, their blending of urban and natural elements, and their perception of facades as space and surfaces to be utilised. The resulting designs are bold and dynamic with an unusually international touch for Vienna. This book consists of two volumes: one volume documents the fundamental concepts underlying their architecture, and the second volume presents 25 projects. The volumes are attached to each other and with the ingenious system of cross-referencing, enhanced by a precise and skilful graphic design, a web of meaning emerges which not only provides insight into the methodology of Delugan-Meissl but also gives an overview of their projects in town-planning, transport buildings, competitions and residential buildings. In contrast to most architecture monographs, this highly unusual book concept provides a visual expression of the two approaches to their work.

S'il est un immeuble qui consacre physiquement le statut de capitale de Québec, c'est bien l'Hôtel du Parlement, grand œuvre de l'architecte Eugène-Étienne Taché et lieu par excellence d'exercice du pouvoir politique québécois. Il n'est donc pas étonnant que, dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de son Plan lumière pour la capitale, la Commission de la capitale nationale du Québec ait rapidement cherché à faire de ce bel ensemble de bâtiments l'objet d'une mise en scène nocture qui en révèle les beautés et lui permette de jouer, de nuit comme de jour, le rôle de panthéon national que lui destinait Taché. À travers l'œil du photographe Eugen Kedl et par la plume de l'auteure Julie Stanton, cet ouvrage invite à la découverte de cet ensemble remarquable, véritable trésor national.
