Résumé:
In 1986 a new Barcelona Pavilion was completed on the site of the original 1929 German Pavilion in Barcelona. That same year marked the 150th anniversary of photography and the centenary of Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). Since then, much has been written about all three, jointly and singly. Whilst the literature on Mies van der Rohe has more than doubled in the past fifteen years, no scholar has yet to seriously study, at any length, the unique phenomenon that was, is and will continue to be the Barcelona Pavilion. "Building desire" focuses on the pavilion's image of an enduring myth of modernity.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage est à la fois une petite encyclopédie, qui s'adresse aux architectes et aux décorateurs, et un essai sur l'architecture de la plus célèbre des îles de l'Asie tropicale. Made Wijaya, architecte paysagiste amoureux de Bali, a puisé dans ses archives photographiques, constituées au cours des trente dernières années, pour nous faire découvrir et admirer l'architecture balinaise, ses origines, ses caractéristiques, ses variations et ses caprices. L'auteur commence par un tour d'horizon de l'architecture balinaise dans son contexte humain, le village. Il examine ensuite les éléments fondamentaux de cette architecture, la cour fermée et le pavillon. Il consacre les chapitres suivants aux matériaux de construction, à l'ornementation, la grande passion des Balinais, et aux influences étrangères, notamment chinoises et indochinoises. Au fil des pages, l'architecture complexe de Bali devient plus lisible et même surprenante. Made Wijaya étudie les tendances dans la construction contemporaine et exprime avec passion ses points de vue sur une politique architecturale souhaitable pour Bali. Cette étude est constellée d'exemples d'adaptation de l'architecture traditionnelle balinaise dans les maisons modernes et les grands hôtels de l'île. Outre les photographies personnelles de Wijaya, cet ouvrage est illustré par les œuvres de peintres et de photographes inondialeinent célèbres, parmi lesquels Tim Street-Porter, Rio Helmi, Chang Huai-Yan, Dent Chung, et Bruce Granquist. Les architectes et les décorateurs trouveront dans cet ouvrage un guide de référence particulièrement utile sur les matériaux, les différents types de construction, l'ornementation, en même temps que des idées pour l'utilisation de l'espace. Les amoureux de Bali accueilleront avec enthousiasme cette étude sur un monde en rapide évolution

Résumé:
For over 35 years, with the emphasis on both personal experience and ideas, Richard Long has made art in many places around the world by making walks in rural and wilderness landscapes. His simple and direct engagement is realised by leaving and recording traces of his journeys, creating works concerned with time, movement and locality. This book accompanies an exhibition of new works by Long that span the variety of media he employs, including photographs, sculptures, and mud and text works made directly on the gallery walls. The landscapes walked to create the work include Galicia, Brittany and his recent travels to India, where he spent time among the Warli tribe with the artist Jivya Soma Mashe. The catalogue illustrations consist of Long’s recent works both in the gallery and in landscapes, and the text explores Long’s relationship to landscape as well his art historical significance, focussing on the works featured in this exhibition.

Résumé:
Essays, plans and projects by various artists,including Max Bill, Heinrich Dunst, Helmut Federle, Per Kirkeby, Katarina Fritsch, Erwin Heerich, Gerhard Merz, Gottfried Honegger, Walther Pichler, Ulrich Rückriem, Bernar Venet, Daniel Buren, Christoph Haerle, Peter Wigglesworth, Donald Judd, Markus Lüpertz, Arnulf Rainer, Richard Serra among others showing their ideas for how museums should be constructed. When discussing the increasing number of museums and exhibition spaces for modern art which have come into being in recent years, the deep-seated differences of opinion between architects and artists keep coming to the fore. The discussion seems to be almost exclusively dominated by the point of view of the architect and defined by his/her interests. The needs of the art itself are being widely neglected and the voice of the artist is simply not being heard. Donald Judd, the American sculptor and minimalist artist, once noted that museums are so rarely built on functional lines these days, the trend being more towards the creation of a showpiece for the architect. Why are painters and sculptors not asked for their input? The very obvious question was addressed by the Espace de l’art concret when in 1997, it asked a number of well-known artists to come up with ideas and projects for a museum for concrete art. They were invited to submit their ideal utopian suggestions as well as very concrete and architectural proposals and written statements. These are documented in this publication, supplemented with the material for the collection owned by the Kunsthaus in Bregenz and expanded with an extensive anthology of texts by artists on this subject. The résumé of the contributions presents a searing criticism of contemporary museum architecture by its most important users. Their voice will at last find an ear in the current architectural discussion about the new cathedrals of the post-industrial society.
