Résumé:
Ce livre examine habilement l'équilibre entre la notion de postérité et l'aspect pratique en architecture au cours de l'histoire. Des pyramide de l'Égypte ancienne à l'Opéra de Sydney jusqu'au cottage traditionnel, l'architecture offre des contrastes frappants et une dimension culturelle non-négligeable. Au-delà de la présentation des périodes et des styles distincts tels que «baroque» ou «moderne», Andrew Ballantyne explore la signification économique, politique et esthétique des objets architecturaux tout en relevant comment l'architecture prend tout son sens à la lumière de la tradition et comment elle contribue à faire de nous les êtres que nous sommes.

Résumé:
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has one of the most important buildings of the 20th century: its parliamentary building by Louis I. Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known, however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick. Alongside texts by Andreas Ruby, Niklaus Graber, Kazi Khaleed, Saif Ul Haque and Syed Manzoorul Islam, the special photographs taken by Iwan Baan for this publication capture the imagination.

Résumé:
Tangible Traces proffers context, craftsmanship and tradition as antidotes to our seamless global landscape of bland architecture and design. The architecture firm Onix, spatial designer Frank Havermans, textile designer Claudy Jongstra, fashion designer Alexander van Slobbe and industrial designer Hella Jongerius share a common quest to imbue their work with unexpected meaning derived from consideration of local culture and context, rediscovery of traditional craft, use of quotidian materials and a fascination with chance and improvisation. Though they look to the past for inspiration, a fusion of state-of-the-art technologies and an unmistakably Dutch vision lends their designs a contemporary air.

Résumé:
With texts by Peter Buchanan, Brian Carter, Thomas Fisher, Kenneth Frampton, Karl Habermann, Robert Ivy, Christine Macy, Robert McCarter, Juhani Pallasmaa. The Ghost International Architectural Laboratory, better known as 'Ghost Lab' or 'Ghost', is the research laboratory of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. The Ghost Lab began as a critique of architectural education in North America in the 1990s and represents an alternative to the current standard of practice. Ghost is rooted in the hands-on master-builder tradition, emphasizing an intimate interaction between master and apprentice in response to the increasingly virtual nature of architectural design.

Résumé:
In 1968, Dutch engineer Louis Koopman entrusted his collection of bibliophile and deluxe editions of French contemporary literature to the National Library of the Netherlands. The Koopman Collection has since grown to be the largest such collection in the Netherlands. This volume focuses on its most modern part, French artist’s books after 2000, and presents a selection of around 120 publications produced by more than 40 artists, printers, and publishers. Although these 21st-century books follow in the tradition of their classic predecessors, new aspects also emerge. Most notable is their international character, a result of the cooperation that is commonplace today.

Négociant l"héritage d’Eugène Atget et notamment son passage à Beauvais en 1904, Jean de Calan propose une enquête sur les transformations architecturales de la ville au cours du siècle.Contrairement à Atget qui montre une tradition architecturale très préservée et non le Beauvais de son époque, Jean de Calan montre la coexistence d’éléments hétéroclites et de lieux historiquement très variés. En posant son regard sur l’architecture souvent peu valorisée de la Reconstruction ou vers les nouveaux faubourgs, il vise à décentrer le champ habituel du patrimoine.

Résumé:
S'appuyant sur l'expérience professionnelle issue d'une triple carrière simultanée d'architecte, d'urbaniste et d'ingénieur-conseil en génie civil, l'auteur investigue les étapes et composantes tant rationnelles que subjectives de la création architecturale, en mettant en évidence les modalités de la complémentarité indissociable entre ces deux démarches. Il apporte ainsi un éclairage nouveau sur les concepts de créativité et d'inventivité, en distinguant clairement l'approche de l'architecte de celle de l'ingénieur. Il en déduit des propositions opérationnelles pour assurer aux futurs architectes une formation adaptée aux exigences contemporaines de l'architecture, et pour restaurer le rôle de maître d'œuvre que la tradition et la logique professionnelle.

Résumé:
This exquisitely produced exhibition catalogue highlights the powerful role of such camaraderie in shaping photography at this seminal time, before the emergence of a market for photography and before widespread artistic acceptance of the medium. It brings to light contrasting philosophies of the artist/photographer's role (influenced by Existentialism for Siskind and by the writings of Spinoza for Sommer), the interest in chance as an artistic process, the expressive potential of photographic found objects and collage, experimental abstraction, close affiliations with fine art movements (New Bauhaus, Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism), and changing attitudes toward the fine-print tradition.
