Résumé:
In this book, Richard Hill examines the many-faceted relationship between aesthetic theory and architecture. Grounding his arguments in the practical issues related to building - the demands of site, materials, labor force, the nature of the commission - Hill expands our understanding and enjoyment of architecture. The book opens with an analysis of the relationship between buildings, drawings, and designs. Hill suggests that architectural drawings are essentially pictures of physical objects, although initially they may be imagined ones, and he considers the implications of this for architects and builders. He discusses the notion of "architectural experience" that has been important in the development of modern architecture, and the notion of "seeing as" that has been developed for other visual arts and that illuminates a range of architectural meaning. Asking how architecture can be expressive of a range of human states and qualities, Hill tests the idea that our ability to see the expressive aspects of buildings relates to our ability to see meaning in the faces and demeanor of other people. In the final section of the book, the author focuses on modern architecture's central aim to deepen the connection between usefulness and design, explores recent intense criticism of this outlook, and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of this body of criticism.

Résumé:
"Extra-ordinary" is edited by Périphériques/IN-EX project, the group of young architects based in Paris who also edited the successful publication "36 Propositions for a Home". The theme which runs through all of the chapters is that of the unusual, the extraordinary found in ordinary architecture. The first chapter consists of a photo documentary by the Parisian art photographer Cécile on so-called "normal" interiors in everyday use. This is followed by a sensational documentation on anonymous architecture in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Anonymous in this context refers to building without an architect, and the topics examined include Do-it-Yourself, the many aspects of the banal and building outside the city. The third chapter presents a selection of mostly unpublished buildings and projects from younger architects who all received an ordinary commission but who all produced extraordinary results.

Résumé:
This is the second volume in the four-part series of the Complete Works of Jean Prouvé (1901–84), one of the most significant designers and constructors of this century. This publication covers an important period in Prouvé's life when he designed and produced the lecture theatre seating at the Ecole des Sciences Politiques in Paris and the office furniture for the Parisian electric company. He also created furniture made of stainless steel for a school in Suresnes. In 1934 Prouvé began with the factory production of prefabricated buildings using sheet-steel of which the club house at Buc Airport and the Maison du Peuple in Clichy, one of the most outstanding buildings of Functionalism, are excellent examples. Complementing this detailed catalogue are previously unpublished conversations with Prouvé himself.

Résumé:
Buckminster Fuller was one of the most revolutionary technological visionaries of this century. As an architect, engineer, entrepreneur, and poet, he was the quintessential American self-made man. But he was also an outsider, a technical expert with a poet's imagination who by the 1930s had already developed theories on environmental issues and anticipated the rapid globalization of our planet. This visual reader documents and examines Fuller's theories, ideas, designs, and projects. It also takes an analytical look at his ideology of technology as panacea. It contains numerous illustrations, many published here for the first time, as well as texts by Fuller and the editors.

Résumé:
Architects W.G. Clark and Charles Menefee III, inspired by the "thin shacks and sheds of insubstantial beauty" of the Southern vernacular building tradition, are known for structures that are at once modest, rigorous, and economical in detail. They blend the ease and informality of the architecture of the historic South with the elegance of end-of-the-century modernism. This balance between continuity and change is evident throughout their work. This monograph of 13 projects--eight built, five unbuilt--reveals the architects' ideas and intentions while reflecting the spirit they bring to each design. Projects such as Middleton Inn, Croffead House, Lucy Daniels Foundation, Charleston Bus Stops, and 8 Bedon's Alley are presented through duotone photographs and drawings, which exemplify the simplicity and rigor of the architects' work. The author's critical analysis of each project highlights associations to vernacular buildings and the local historic context. Clark and Menefee dissolved their professional practice last year, making this book the complete and only overview of their work.
