Résumé:
Philosophy exercises a massive influence on contemporary architectural culture and the understanding of the built environment. Discussions of architects and architectural academics are heavily loaded with theoretical ideas, concepts and views imported from the works of philosophers. At the same time this architectural employment of philosophy rarely goes beyond the tendency to mine philosophical works for ideas, words and phrases and use them, often without much understanding, in order to promote architectural agendas and embellish theoretical claims made by architects and academics. The book presents the history of this phenomenon for the past hundred years. It describes and analyzes numerous examples of false intellectual pretense across prominent architectural influences of the era and their efforts to bamboozle readers, colleagues and the general public.

Résumé:
Working in rural China is unlike other countryside: it is full of contradiction, neither rural nor urban, both traditional and modern, abandoned in some areas and yet others are becoming cities overnight. It is in fact a laboratory for new ways of living. And it has become our laboratory for new ways of making architecture. Whereas contemporary architecture since the advent of modernism has developed increasingly controlled, prototypical, and standardized mechanisms for building, our experiments embrace the opposite: a lack of control, taking place within the flux of political, social and economic uncertainties. The experiments presented here are examples taken from a series of design and build projects conducted from the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong over the past 10 years. They are remarkable in their diffuse explorations and situations. Some were urgent post-earthquake reconstructions, often adapting to extreme topographies or taking place in the midst of major urbanizing transformations, whereas other experiments occurred in forgotten villages with left-behind craftspeople and their disappearing building cultures. These forays and what can be best described as adventures in building, left us with varied and novel (sometimes failed) experiments with structure and program. But they are presented here for the trait they have in common: an exploration of the limits of material, geometry, construction methods, and even historical context. As often occurs for architects working in a foreign landscape, the differences in language and culture have proven to be a source of constant miscommunication and surprising discovery. The lack of a common spoken language- these remote areas speak their own dialects- has placed an emphasis on drawing as another means of communication. Through drawing we have explored a means of design and a means of building. Therefore, this is also a book about ways of drawing that represent ways of control and, inversely perhaps, what not to control.

Résumé:
Like a ship cast on the shore by some Mediterranean tempest, the E 1027 house, built in 1929 by legendary Irish designer Eileen Gray with and for her architect friend Jean Badovici, was little more, seventy years later, than a desolate wreck. But since 2014 an exceptional combination of the knowledge and skills of a whole host of architects and historians, coupled with a harmonious collaboration between public authorities and private initiative, have succeeded in setting the building afloat again. E 1027 can now be seen with all the beauty of its original lines, a white vessel emerging from a lemon grove with its blue awning as a sail. Up till now only familiar through the black and white pictures of the albums of its time, its interiors bring together ingenious pieces of furniture and a collection of chairs, lamps and mirrors which have acquired iconic status, and which have been meticulously restored. The heart of this book is a guided tour through this resuscitated architectural masterpiece, with details of its remarkable furnishings and decoration, all illustrated with the photographs of Manuel Bougot.

Résumé:
Les architectures légères contemporaines explorent la modularité, la construction participative ou la miniaturisation. Elles se fondent sur la conviction que construire, en conscience, plus léger réclame moins de matière, utilise moins de ressource, produit moins de déchets, demande moins de temps de montage, nécessite moins d’espace, requiert de façon exponentielle moins d’énergie, réduit symétriquement l’empreinte carbone de la construction d’un habitat. Cette étude menée sur une trentaine de projets internationaux révèle le potentiel et la diversité des systèmes constructifs développés. Elle témoigne de la capacité de ces architectures à s’adapter aux techniques et attentes de leur temps. Chaque exploration relue dans son contexte historique à partir d’archives reflète une démarche, une technique et un mode d’habiter. Redessiné et décomposé selon un protocole développé pour cette manifestation par l’agence Philippe Rizzotti Architecte et le laboratoire IBI de l’ETH Zürich, le corpus dévoile des correspondances, des qualités partagées. Cet inventaire permet de quantifier les constructions, comparer les matériaux, analyser les assemblages et classer tout ou partie pour faire émerger des logiques adaptables demain.

''Reverse perspective'' revolves around practice-based architectural, art historical, and philosophical research on presence via images, buildings, and texts. In the book, Belgian architect Wim Goes explores three of his main projects: Yohji Yamamoto Boutique Antwerp, Royal Belgian Sailing Club, and Refuge II. Crucial to the book’s introspection is the conversation between Volkmar Mühleis, professor of philosophy and aesthetics at LUCA School of Arts in Brussels and Ghent, and Bulgarian art historian Clemena Antonova, who discuss the concept of reverse perspective in relation to Orthodox icons, cubism, the cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky, and paintings by David Hockney.
