Résumé:
Casa Gilardi was the last built project of Pritzker Prize winner Luis Barragan’s prolific career. In 1976, 10 years after his retirement from the practice of architecture, Barragan accepted the commission of two young publicists passionate about his architecture. This editorial project aims to disseminate the complete story of this masterpiece from its initial sketches to the completion of its construction and provide a critical reading of it today by publishing the existing archive of Barragan’s documents for the house: drawings, sketches, technical details, and correspondences as well as historic and contemporary photographs. This book includes critical reflections by contemporary architects and critics who have visited this private house.

Résumé:
Framed by the period of the Great Acceleration, these writings and projects represent a critical commentary on the state of architecture and urbanism and their causal role in global metamorphosis. On the eve of Plunz’s status as Emeritus at Columbia University, "New York global" bridges five decades of his pedagogical commitment to question the cannons of the design and urbanism fields and their relationship to the contemporary built environment. Global urbanization serves as a backdrop for a heightened consideration of the intermingling of housing, infrastructure, and pedagogy, as he negotiates the evolution of mainstream theory and praxis in architecture and planning. Through interviews, syllabi excerpts, essays, discussions, and projects, New York City is projected as a lens for understanding the potential for metropolises everywhere to serve as firewalls against dystopic social inequities and ecological adversity. In questioning the discourse surrounding urban research and action, Plunz engages with the primordial question of "urban" itself. This book is not a cautionary tale, but rather an assemblage of timestamped evidence toward understanding our current condition. Closely studying the very tools that have fostered today’s environmental and societal consequences, each segment contributes to understanding engagement with a post-accelerated future.

While sculpture remained central to his artistic practice, Isamu Noguchi’s (1904–1988) interests and production spanned an exceptionally broad terrain that included furniture and lamps, stage sets for dance, plazas, courtyards—and gardens. Noguchi made no distinction between design, craft, and the so-called fine arts: in his view all of these could all be considered art(...)

Résumé:
While sculpture remained central to his artistic practice, Isamu Noguchi’s (1904–1988) interests and production spanned an exceptionally broad terrain that included furniture and lamps, stage sets for dance, plazas, courtyards—and gardens. Noguchi made no distinction between design, craft, and the so-called fine arts: in his view all of these could all be considered art should their aesthetic qualities sufficiently transcend those generated by the simple address of need. Although his gardens include several of the twentieth century’s most iconic landscape designs and have received almost universal praise, Noguchi nonetheless occupies a place removed from the normal practice of landscape architecture. As an artist he relied more on intuition—bolstered by focused study where required—than on objective analysis, and he shaped his landscapes as sculpture, with space as their primary vehicle. To Noguchi landscape design was a spatial and formal art, and from his earliest environmental projects to the works of his later maturity, he succeeded in conceiving and constructing a series of remarkable places.

"The mother tongue of architecture" is a collection of critical essays on abiding and compelling topics in architecture and the culture of architecture. Range of topics is diverse: an architectural phenomenology of water, relationship of architecture and landscape rethought, ancient Greece to India, the Buddha’s house to the modern house in India, the architecture and landscapes of Louis Kahn, Le Corbusier in India, the architecture of Balkrishna Doshi, and other original topics such as the destruction of buildings as a ritual necessity.

Résumé:
"The Hypospace of Japanese architecture" pushes past clichés of an exotic Japan to confront the modernity of an island nation whose habit of importing foreign ideas is less about assimilation than transformation, less a process of indigenization than one of cultural invention. The realization that buildings are dynamic events—phenomena of space-in-time, not inert objects outside time—continues to inform Japanese architecture and suggests how we can rethink the history, theory, and practice of architecture more generally.

Résumé:
"The labyrinth of rooms" is a story about how the shape of architecture can change the way we think, and how the shape of our thoughts can change the way we see architecture. Stated otherwise, the story conceives of the human life as a series of settings that stage the coevolution of mental space and physical space. Human, the story’s protagonist, can be any one of us, and their journey from the first room to the last room is the journey of a lifetime: it has its ups and downs, moments of clarity and moments of confusion, but overall it bends toward greater knowledge and wisdom.

Résumé:
Cet édito est le deux-centième. Édité depuis plus de vingt ans par la Maison de l’Architecture Occitanie—Pyrénées, le journal est né de la nécessité de créer des outils pour informer et diffuser la culture architecturale, de mettre en valeur les pratiques locales. Numéro après numéro, Plan Libre a éprouvé sa capacité à grandir, à se remettre en question, à se renouveler. Aujourd’hui, sa détermination et son existence marquent encore la véracité de l’hypothèse initiale : si l’architecture est de plus en plus présente et partagée, elle reste paradoxalement toujours méconnue. L’architecture a toujours besoin des tribunes qui permettent de donner du sens à l’environnement construit.

Résumé:
À l’occasion des Jeux olympiques de 2024, « Monumental » s’intéresse au patrimoine et à l’architecture du sport dans son histoire. S’il subsiste quelques structures anciennes, de l’état de trace au monument le plus imposant, c’est bien à partir du XIXe siècle, et surtout de l’entre-deux-guerres avec l’avènement du sport moderne, que se constitue le corpus (stades, piscines, hippodromes, refuges de haute montagne, stations balnéaires et de ski...). Ce dossier traite des diverses problématiques que soulèvent la protection, la conservation et la restauration de ces équipements, soumis - dès lors qu’ils conservent leur usage, - de très fortes contraintes de fonctionnement et donc d’adaptation. Ces questions appellent ainsi à croiser l’ensemble des champs patrimoniaux, immobilier et mobilier, matériel et immatériel.
