Résumé:
In the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of “one man at the helm” to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time. In(...)

Résumé:
In the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of “one man at the helm” to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time. In the exemplary cases and stories presented and illustrated in this volume, reflecting not only the quality of the architecture but also the great variety of contexts and professional configurations, we find the most important names of the recent past (Zaha Hadid, Cini Boeri, Lina Bo Bardi) and the present (Elizabeth Diller, Kazuyo Sejima, Grafton Architects): women at the head of large firms, who may work alone or who collaborate with other women or a partner, or who are members of collectives.

Résumé:
Over the course of eight days in December 2021, Danny Fox and Kingsley Ifill travelled across the length of the British Isles and back again. Setting off from near Dover, Kent, and making their way up the east coast as far as the Isle of Skye, Scotland, to then return by way of the West Midlands, Wales and many others locations on route. With no predetermined course, their journey was one of intuition and self-led discovery, encountering and documenting the reality of the British landscape unfurling ahead of them. Composed of a series of fifty collaborative works on paper which bring together photography by Ifill and paintings by Fox, ''Holy island'' is a visual travelogue of their time spent together: an exploration into the cross-section of rural and urban fabric that makes up Britain today.

The theme of "modernity" was the launching pad of architecture in the 20th century, to the point of completely revolutionizing our way of life but producing, in its development, absolutizations and misunderstandings, so as to disperse the main values linked to the profound desire to improve everyone’s life. Against the theses that during the 20th century linked the(...)

Résumé:
The theme of "modernity" was the launching pad of architecture in the 20th century, to the point of completely revolutionizing our way of life but producing, in its development, absolutizations and misunderstandings, so as to disperse the main values linked to the profound desire to improve everyone’s life. Against the theses that during the 20th century linked the destinies of "modernity" to the theories of the Modern Movement, hoping for them to be overcome, the book deals with the theme of a continuity with the present by recovering those "open visions" that characterized "modernity" at the end of the 19th century.

Résumé:
English architect and writer Sir Peter Cook, renowned for his free-thinking spirit translated into architectural lines and shapes, is perhaps most well-known as the co-founder of the avant-garde architectural group Archigram in the 1960s. A selection of his drawings is offered here as part of the exhibition series “Louisiana On Paper” at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Cook believes that visions of the future – whatever it might offer – are most clearly expressed and can best be discussed in drawings. In his work we encounter kaleidoscopic colours and spiralling shapes, voluntary architectural mutations, and twisting and turning buildings transforming into escapist dreamscapes.
