Résumé:
L’histoire de l’architecture ne cesse de conjuguer deux regards : celui, panoramique, portant sur les ensembles urbains, révélant les politiques sociales ou techniques, et celui sur les édifices et leurs intérieurs, vus en gros plan, qui reflète les idéaux et l’engagement de leurs auteurs et de leurs habitants. Faisant dialoguer théoriciens, philosophes et écrivains avec les architectes du xxe siècle (Mies van der Rohe, Wright ou Le Corbusier), Jean-Louis Cohen suggère une approche renouvelée, ancrée dans l’histoire culturelle et dans l’humain, de l’architecture comme questionnement et comme pratique.

Résumé:
Quand Jean Prouvé, président du jury du concours d'idée international, proclame, le 15 juillet 1971, le nom des lauréats du Centre Beaubourg, il en sait aussi peu sur eux que ce que nous avons oublié depuis leurs incroyables carrières. Car que savons-nous des circonstances de la toute première association entre Richard Rogers (1933-, Pritzker 2007) et Renzo Piano (1937-, Pritzker 1998) ? Que ce serait-il passé si Rogers n'avait pas mis fin au Team 4 (1963-1967) formé avec Norman Foster (1935-, Pritzker 1999) ? Si son enseignement à l'Architectural Association (1969-1971) avec Renzo Piano n'avait abouti à la création d'une agence commune ? Si le bureau d'ingénieurs Ove Arup ne leur avait indiqué fin 1970 l'existence de la compétition ?

Le rayonnement de la France n'imposait-il pas de restructurer l'Ile-de-France et le centre de Paris ? Les remous autour du "quartier des Halles" ne participaient-ils pas à l'idée d'une vaste machinerie urbaine ? Que ce serait-il passé si Georges Pompidou, président entre 1969 et 1974, n'avait pas d'abord été Premier ministre (1962-1968) et grand amateur d'art actuel avec son épouse Claude ? Le chantier de Beaubourg ne fut-il pas avant tout celui de la France ?

Résumé:
Architectural details are typically communicated through technical drawings, and from such drawings details are archived, revised, and appropriated. This book presents case studies of the technical constitution and construction of thirteen exemplary buildings realised in seven countries over the past fifteen years. Through an investigative matrix of scaled drawings and analytical texts, the fundamental importance of the detail is discovered afresh, giving insight into the technical complexities behind the often dynamic simplicity of the building’s final form. Including interviews with Zaha Hadid, Eric Owen Moss, Kazuyo Sejima, Thom Mayne, Ada Tolla, Steven Holl, Carme Pinós, more.

Résumé:
Today, designers are shifting the practice of landscape architecture towards the need for a more complex understanding of ecological science. Constructed Ecologies presents ecology as critical theory for design, and provides major ideas for design that are supported with solid and imaginative science. Margaret Grose presents wide-ranging new approaches and shows the importance of learning from science for design, of going beyond assumptions, of working in multiple rather than single issues, of disrupting linear design thinking, and of dealing with data.

Résumé:
"Inhabitable infrastructures: science fiction or urban future?", the follow up to "Food city and smartcities and eco-warriors", from one of the world’s leading urban design and architectural thinkers, explores the potential of climate change-related multi-use infrastructures that address the fundamental human requirements to protect, to provide and to participate. The stimulus for the infrastructures derives from postulated scenarios and processes gleaned from science fiction and futurology as well as the current body of scientific knowledge regarding changing environmental impacts on cities. Science fiction is interdisciplinary by nature, aggregates the past and present, and evaluates both lay opinions and professional strategies in an attempt to develop foresight and to map possible futures. The research culminates in the creation of innovative multi-use infrastructures and integrated self-sustaining support systems that meet the challenges posed through climate change and overpopulation, and the reciprocal benefits of simultaneously addressing the threat and the shaping of cities. J. G. Ballard has written that the psychological realm of science fiction is most valuable in its predictive function, and in projecting emotions into the future. The knowledge from the book is widely transferable, constituting both solutions and speculative visions of future urban environments. The book is indispensable reading for professionals and students in the fields of urban design, architecture, engineering and environmental socio-politics.

Résumé:
Instructive, amusing, colorful—pictorial maps have been used and admired since the first medieval cartographer put pen to paper depicting mountains and trees across countries, people and objects around margins, and sea monsters in oceans. More recent generations of pictorial map artists have continued that traditional mixture of whimsy and fact, combining cartographic elements with text and images and featuring bold and arresting designs, bright and cheerful colors, and lively detail. In the United States, the art form flourished from the 1920s through the 1970s, when thousands of innovative maps were mass-produced for use as advertisements and decorative objects—the golden age of American pictorial maps. "Picturing America" is the first book to showcase this vivid and popular genre of maps. Geographer Stephen J. Hornsby gathers together 158 delightful pictorial jewels, most drawn from the extensive collections of the Library of Congress. In his informative introduction, Hornsby outlines the development of the cartographic form, identifies several representative artists, describes the process of creating a pictorial map, and considers the significance of the form in the history of Western cartography. Organized into six thematic sections, "Picturing America" covers a vast swath of the pictorial map tradition during its golden age, ranging from “Maps to Amuse” to “Maps for War.” Hornsby has unearthed the most fascinating and visually striking maps the United States has to offer: Disney cartoon maps, college campus maps, kooky state tourism ads, World War II promotional posters, and many more.

Résumé:
From sprawling houses to compact bungalows and from world-famous museums to a still-working gas station, Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs can be found in nearly every corner of the country. While the renowned architect passed away more than fifty years ago, researchers and enthusiasts are still uncovering structures that should be attributed to him. William Allin Storrer is one of the experts leading this charge, and his definitive guide, The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, has long been the resource of choice for anyone interested in Wright. Thanks to the work of Storrer and his colleagues at the Rediscovering Wright Project, thirty-seven new sites have recently been identified as the work of Wright. Together with more photos, updated and expanded entries, and a new essay on the evolution of Wright’s unparalleled architectural style, this new edition is the most comprehensive and authoritative catalog available. Organized chronologically, the catalog includes full-color photos, location information, and historical and architectural background for all of Wright’s extant structures in the United States and abroad, as well as entries for works that have been demolished over the years. A geographic listing makes it easy for traveling Wright fans to find nearby structures and a new key indicates whether a site is open to the public. Publishing for Wright’s sesquicentennial, this new edition will be a trusted companion for anyone embarking on their own journeys through the wonder and genius of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Résumé:
One of the common features of communist regimes is the use of art for revolutionary means. Posters in particular have served as beacons of propaganda – vehicles of coercion, instruction, censure and debate – in every communist nation. They have promoted the authority of state and revolution, but have also been used as an effective means of protest. By their nature posters are ephemeral, tied to time and place, but many have had far-reaching, long-lasting impact. They are imbued with both artistic integrity and personal conviction – Bolshevik posters, for example, are among the most vibrant, passionate graphics in art history. This is the first truly global survey of the history and variety of communist poster art. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field, and examines a different region of the world: Russia, China, Mongolia, Eastern Europe, North Korea, Vietnam and Cuba. This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive survey examines the broad range of political and visual cultures of communist posters, and will appeal to a wide audience interested in art, history and politics.
