Résumé:
Acclaimed architect David Adjaye is known for his artistic sensitivity and deft use of space and inexpensive, unexpected materials. With the hindsight of almost twenty years of practice and a raft of high-profile projects around the world? perhaps best symbolized by the National Museum for African American History and Culture in Washington, DC?this book looks back on the houses and buildings of his early career. Adjaye’s early commissions were the test sites for what would become his unique, celebrated, and highly sought-after brand of “critical regionalism.” From London to Brooklyn, in private houses and public buildings, his clever urban interventions abound: roof-level living space is added to a factory-turned-studio, a sunken courtyard encases a tower-like house, and basalt stone extends a basement dining area to a roofless gazebo. ''David Adjaye- Works'' brings together all of these early projects and more and presents them with new analyses and recently uncovered archival material, testifying to the originality of an architect at the height of his talents who is changing the face of our built world.

Quelles relations entre architecture, tourisme et loisirs ? C’est ce que cet ouvrage se propose d’analyser, révélant les contradictions profondes des sociétés contemporaines qui reposent sur l’individualisme tout en cherchant un esprit de communauté ; encouragent l’ostentation mais valorisent l’austérité ; réclament le dépaysement sans renoncer au confort ; désirent l’aventure sans ses dangers et expriment une soif inextinguible de « paradis perdus ». De page en page, il s’agit d’une pérégrination architecturale de La Grande-Motte à Dubaï, de Port Leucate à Disneyland, au cours de laquelle on croise les architectes Jean Balladur, Robert Venturi, Le Corbusier, Robert Stern, Adolf Loos, Marcel Breuer...

Résumé:
Sauerbruch Hutton is an award-winning, international agency for architecture, urbanism and design. Its architecture is always in the context of the city and combines functionality with an ecological performance that goes far beyond purely technical aspects. Projects such as the police station in Berlin, the Federal Environment Agency in Dessau or the Sammlung Brandhorst Museum in Munich demonstrate a convincing use of materiality and colour. Founded in 1989 by Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton, the agency today works on a wide variety of projects worldwide - including housing, museum, educational institution and office high-rise buildings -, impressing with precisely detailed, ecologically conscious, and urbanistically sophisticated designs. This monograph on the Sauerbruch Hutton agency looks behind the scenes, describes processes and comprises one thing in particular: many building details.

Résumé:
This edition highlights two houses by Oscar Niemeyer, the Brazilian modernist architect. Known as Casa das Canoas and Casa Cavanelas, both residences are located in Rio de Janeiro and both were built in the early 1950s. Yet, according to the essay by Yoshio Futagawa, the contrast between them is quite intriguing. The former, Niemeyer’s own residence, demonstrates the spatial truth in privacy that the architect explored; the latter startles the viewer with spectacular features orchestrated through Niemeyer’s collaboration with landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx.

Résumé:
According to Ole Vanggaard, ''the borderland between architecture and engineering is chaotic, a dangerous field to work in. Here the basic rules of art and technique are not valid.'' In the course of his career, the Danish engineer has worked with many architects to realise tectonically challenging structures. This book consists of articles and essays by architects and engineers that bear witness to Vanggaard’s engagement with architecture and structure, his ability to introduce dynamics, beauty, and strength in his projects. For him, chaos makes sense, and concepts are developed from a focused perception and an ability to develop calculation methods for complicated constructions.
