Résumé:
''Odile Decq: The Wunderkammer of Odile Decq'' invites you to take a voyage and explore Odile Decq's unique and complete universe of architecture, urban planning, design and art, which celebrates the freedom of imagination and shines a light on her distinctive approach to what is conventionally defined as architecture. Perhaps nothing could set the tone for this book better than Odile Decq's own poetic words, a credo that has become evident after 40 years of architectural and design practice: "The horizon line is a constant temptation, and gives the desire of beyond, the absence of limits blurs the perception, creates ambiguity, fusion, and illusion. The consciousness of elsewhere, the perception of the space beyond."

Résumé:
Olivier Vallerand investigates how queer critiques, building on pioneering feminist work, question the relation between identity and architecture and highlight normative constructs underlying domestic spaces. He draws out a genealogy of queer space in theoretical discourse in architecture, studying projects by Mark Robbins, Joel Sanders, J Mayer H, Elmgreen & Dragset, Andrés Jaque, and MYCKET, among others. These works blur the traditional borders between architecture and art to emphasize the tensions between private and public and their impact on assumptions about domestic space and family structure. Sexuality and gender have long been influential in understanding the construction of domestic space, its meanings, often revealing a binary division of private and public, female and male. By reconstructing the foundation of queer critiques of space and by analyzing the representation of domesticity in contemporary art and architecture, Unplanned Visitors shows the blurring of private and public that can occur in any domestic space and explores the potential of queer theory for understanding, and designing, the built environment.

Résumé:
In ''How the working-class home became modern, 1900–1940,'' Hubka analyzes a period when millions of average Americans saw accelerated improvement in their housing and domestic conditions. These improvements were intertwined with the acquisition of entirely new mechanical conveniences, new types of rooms and patterns of domestic life, and such innovations—from public utilities and kitchen appliances to remodeled and multi-unit housing—are at the center of the story Hubka tells. It is a narrative that traces changes in household hygiene, sociability, and privacy practices that launched large portions of the working classes into the middle class—and that, in Hubka’s telling, reconfigures and enriches the standard account of the domestic transformation of the American home.

Résumé:
Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus are adamant when they say it is very interesting to work outside their home country of Portugal, but it is especially stimulating to return. In interviews, however, they have often pointed to the problems they are faced with when working in Portugal: lack of planning, overly restrictive regulations, very limited market for experimenting with new materials and systems, and vanishing craftsmanship. Yet they are positive that these challenges contribute to architecture’s continued improvement. This guidebook is both a reference to the numerous built works in Portugal by Aires Mateus and an itinerary spanning 21 cities, from north to south.

Résumé:
Quoiqu’en majorité urbains, nos contemporains connaissent peu les acteurs et les processus qui produisent leur cadre de vie. Cet ouvrage éclaire les coulisses de la fabrication de la ville à partir de la place qu’y occupent les architectes. L’évolution considérable de leur statut depuis les années 1980 est révélatrice de nombre de transformations profondes de notre société. La référence que constituait la grande commande publique, le rôle prépondérant de l’État dans la désignation des politiques architecturales s’effacent au profit de nouvelles situations de projet, mettant les grands opérateurs du BTP au centre des systèmes d’acteurs. Ce décadrage interroge le sens que les architectes attribuent à leur travail et les registres sous lesquels ils revendiquent d’être évalués.

Saviez-vous que Gustave Eiffel avait soumis un projet pour la construction d’un pont à Québec ? Que Von Ribbentrop, qui deviendra plus tard ministre des Affaires étrangères du IIIe Reich, a travaillé comme manoeuvre sur le pont en 1912 ? Que des wagons de l’Eurotunnel y sont passés de justesse ? Est-il vrai que le jonc des ingénieurs du Québec est fabriqué avec l’acier provenant des débris de la première chute du pont ? Michel L’Hébreux s’intéresse au pont de Québec depuis plus de 50 ans. Il a recueilli plus d’une centaine de faits inusités en lien avec cette emblématique merveille d’ingénierie qui possède une histoire riche en curiosités et en anecdotes. C’est aussi l’occasion de présenter des personnages qui ont été des témoins privilégiés ou même des acteurs de premier plan de cette histoire.

Résumé:
An intimate glimpse into the professional and romantic relationship between Harriet Pattison and the renowned architect Louis Kahn. On a winter day in 1953, a mysterious man in a sheepskin coat stood out to Harriet Pattison, then a theater student at Yale. She would later learn he was the architect Louis Kahn (1901–1974). This chance encounter served as preamble to a fifteen-year romance, with Pattison becoming the architect’s closest confidante, his intellectual partner, and the mother of his only son.Married and twenty-seven years her senior, Kahn sent her scores of letters—many from far-flung places—until his untimely death. This book weaves together Pattison’s own story with letters, postcards, telegrams, drawings, and photographs that reveal Kahn’s inner life and his architectural thought process, including new insight into some of his greatest works, both built and unbuilt.
