Résumé:
Water has been an important topic in architecture and urban planning for years. The theme of this publication is the use of water in architecture. It presents buildings that explicitly refer to water in their design and form. It establishes a typology of building by the water: residential buildings, transportation and industrial buildings, buildings for culture and leisure. Classic examples of building by, in, or on the water serve as introductions : for example, the Château de Chenonceaux on the Loire, Falling Water in Pennsylvania by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, by Louis I. Kahn. Organized according to their locations by a river, lake, or the sea, some twenty international projects are presented. The authors’ concern is not showing luxurious buildings in privileged locations but rather presenting projects that seriously grapple with the main criterion of the location — namely, water — in an ecologically sustainable way and respond to it with their design.

Archiborescence retrace le parcours de créateur de Luc Schuiten depuis la maison Oréjona qu'il construisit pour lui-même jusqu'aux cités qu'il a imaginées en visionnaire pour une société revenue à des modes de vie écologiques. Une trentaine d'années de projets, destinés à suggérer au monde industrialisé d'autres voies que celles de l'épuisement des ressources de la planète. Pierre Loze a prêté sa plume à la pensée de Luc Schuiten, et Gauthier Chapelle, biologiste, l'a conseillé et a réalisé un chapitre sur le biomimétisme qui clôt l'ouvrage publié pour la première fois en 2006.

Résumé:
An in-depth presentation of an important contribution to New York residential architecture. Considered one of the most important architects of his generation, David Adjaye is lauded for high-profile buildings such as the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, and the recent competition-winning design for the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Designed and built over five years for the contemporary art collector Adam Lindemann, 77E77 was conceived as a sophisticated response to the specific site and the culturally rich neighborhood. The result is a spatially complex series of interlocking spaces, providing suitable rooms for both the challenging art collection it houses and a young and growing family. With 77E77 Adjaye has made a fresh and successful contribution to the history of the modern home in New York: a house for our new generation.

Résumé:
Tadao Ando faced a new constructional challenge with the renovation of two of Venice’s iconic buildings. Approached by French magnate François Pinault to renovate two disparate but equally high-profile and challenging Venetian structures to house his collection of contemporary art—the Palazzo Grassi and the Punta della Dogana—Ando employed his signature process to produce two elegant interiors from highly complicated historic sites. The overall effect of the two different renovations is a harmony of old and new, of history and innovation.
