Le Corbusier and the Occult thus answers the conundrum set by Reyner Banham (Birksted's predecessor at the Bartlett School of Architecture) who, fifty years ago, wrote that Le Corbusier's book Towards a New Architecture "was to prove to be one of the most influential, widely read and least understood of all the architectural writings of the twentieth century."

Parr then examines key challenges to sustainability— waste disposal, disaster relief and environmental refugees, slum development, and poverty.

Résumé:
Two essays and a set of original diagrams consider the parameters of the “something beyond” in James Carpenter’s projects. Architectural historian Mark Linder offers a long view of Carpenter’s work, placing his early career as an installation artist and experimental filmmaker in the context of contemporary art practices. Linder draws out the continuities between this early work and Carpenter’s current practice as a glass designer, demonstrating a consistent focus on literalism—materiality, spatial perception, and inhabitation—as opposed to phenomenological effect, expression, and representation. Architectural critic Sarah Whiting examines the sensibilities and constituencies that emerge from Carpenter’s practice. Rather than succumbing to the technique of Brechtian estrangement (which has become a default strategy for avant-garde practices in all domains), Carpenter gently eases his viewers into new constituencies. Perceptions and publics are altered, although these alterations are never dictated. Carpenter’s new worlds are not avant-garde but are more like dreams that embed themselves in the back of one’s mind, opening new possibilities without choreographing what those might be. Finally, Lucia Allais’s diagrams offer a visual means of reading Carpenter’s combination of technique and effect—his means of making light material and making material present.

Résumé:
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando is a master of minimalism, known for his use of simple materials, his light-filled interiors, and his respect for the natural environment in which he works. This handsome book celebrates Ando's Stone Hill Center at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, his first museum project set within a rural American landscape. Celebrated photographer Richard Pare records Ando at his best, capturing the play of light across the cedar entry, the shimmering woodlands reflected in the large gallery windows, the lush meadow grasses juxtaposed with sharply angled walls. Michael Webb's essay provides context for the Clark building, tracing Ando's career from his early work in Japan to his iconographic Church of the Light in Osaka (1989) to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (2002).

Résumé:
L'Association des Maires de France, Archinov, l'Union sociale pour l'habitat et l'Union Nationale des Syndicats Français d'Architectes ont décidé d'unir leurs forces pour élaborer cet ouvrage collectif pédagogique. Nous avons choisi de montrer quelques réalisations exemplaires qui s'inscrivent dans des contextes variés, village, habitat pavillonnaire, faubourg ou centre-ville. Certaines revisitent avec bonheur les expérimentations d'habitat intermédiaire des années 1970, d'autres s'inspirent du bourg ancien, d'autres encore redonnent une nouvelle vie à un patrimoine délaissé. Toutes placent l'habitant au cœur d'une démarche citoyenne et l'envisagent dans toutes ses dimensions (résident, piéton, promeneur, cycliste, automobiliste). Toutes apportent un soin particulier au traitement des lieux publics, à la place de la voiture, aux espaces de transition entre le public et le privé, aux prolongements immédiats du logement. Toutes favorisent les échanges et la convivialité par des cheminements et des lieux de rencontre. Nous avons souhaité faire de cet ouvrage, un outil pratique favorisant le dialogue entre tous les acteurs du cadre de vie afin de répondre autant aux désirs des habitants qu'aux préoccupations environnementales.
