Résumé:
Venetian artist Carlo Scarpa (1906?78) was one of the outstanding architects of the twentieth century, creating buildings for museums in Venice, Florence, and Verona, as well as many other major buildings. This book focuses on a work that shows that approach to unforgettable effect: a tomb for businessman Giuseppe Brion in Treviso. In designing the tomb, Scarpa had complete freedom, working across a vast space to fuse buildings of fair-faced concrete with the surrounding landscape to create a magnificent work the invites meditation. Munich photographer Klaus Kinold documented the remarkable tomb, and his carefully composed pictures, both black-and-white and subtly using color, depict an otherworldly place that translates our ideas of growth and decay in an expansively constructed symbolism.

Résumé:
Neural Architects documents a unique collaboration between a leading architectural practice, Ian Ritchie Architects Ltd, and neuroscientists, which resulted in the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at University College London, a state of the art research laboratory and new architectural icon. In their work, Ian Ritchie and his architectural team swept away all preconceptions about how to design a laboratory. Instead, they visited neuroscientists around the world, gaining an intimate understanding of the way they use and construct the spaces around them. Through continuing dialogue, the design team imagined the new lab from the inside out and created adaptable, interconnected spaces to foster interactions between researchers from different disciplines.

Avec sa silhouette iconique de Babel des Temps modernes, on croit toujours se « souvenir » du Monument à la IIIe Internationale (1919-1920) de V. Tatline (1885-1953). Pourtant, notre esprit ne retient souvent de la « Tour Tatline » que la sculpture tirée d'un musée imaginaire, alors qu'il s'agit d'abord du modèle réduit d'une « anti-Tour Eiffel » non réalisée.

Résumé:
Avec sa silhouette iconique de Babel des Temps modernes, on croit toujours se « souvenir » du Monument à la IIIe Internationale (1919-1920) de V. Tatline (1885-1953). Pourtant, notre esprit ne retient souvent de la « Tour Tatline » que la sculpture tirée d'un musée imaginaire, alors qu'il s'agit d'abord du modèle réduit d'une « anti-Tour Eiffel » non réalisée. Bien plus élevée que les 160 m du treillis fuselé de la Tour TSF (1920-1922) de l'ingénieur-architecte V. Choukhov (1853-1939), les 400 m de contreplongées constructivistes auraient dû incarner un monument socialiste et une œuvre d'art cosmopolite totale, tour à tour promenade cinématique, centre d'émission radio et haut-parleur d'amplification de la voix de Moscou : à la ville et au monde prolétarien.

Résumé:
How do we want to inhabit the spaces we live in? How can we build homes that match our ideals and meet the demands of a changing world? Where can we find ideas for the houses and cities of the future? During the 1960s and 1970s, visionary architecture in Europe began to raise these fundamental questions about the homes we inhabit. Journalist Niklas Maak has visited the buildings of this era—many of which are now in ruins—and curates here an “archaeology of the utopian,” founding ideas for future architectures in the buildings of the past. Featuring works by Antti Lovag, Yona Friedman, Claude Parent, Dante Bini, Cini Boeri, Hans-Walter Müller, Renée Gailhoustet, and Jean Renaudie, all impressively photographed by Johanna Diehl, this intelligent new volume explores inspiring revolutionary forms of living through the utopian architectures of the past.

While the remarkable buildings he designed have been much studied, the story of how a young architect from a village in western Finland achieved such international prominence is little known. This new biography of Aalto is the first to offer a comprehensive and objective survey of his life, from growing up in the Finnish provinces to finding global acclaim, and also covers all his projects, from early work in Jyväskylä in the 1920s to Finlandia Hall, completed in Helsinki in 1971.

Gio Ponti (1891–1979) is an Italian architect and designer. Trained initially in architecture, Ponti soon moved into industrial and interior design, experimenting with ceramics, silverware, and glass. Ponti’s key works are spread throughout this extensive overview, including structures of all kinds, from small residential dwellings to high-rise buildings, schools, and office blocks. The home was one of Ponti’s recurring interests and central areas of innovation. His talent for total design a careful consideration of both interior and exterior space is charted in the glossy reproductions, floor plans, and drawings featured in this edition. Ponti’s colorful, carefree, and elegant spaces blended an expressive neoclassicism with emerging modernist sensibility.
