Résumé:
Helle Juul and Flemming Frost have been busy contributing assignment solutions from dialogue-based consultancy to concrete planning, designing and realization of architecture. The signature of their work is the discussion about context and scale with respect to urban time and space. Juul & Frost manifest their professional conceptual foundation through a philosophical and theoretical approach to architecture. There is a focus on the architectonic idea, which is consistently pursued and tested throughout the entire course of the project. The origin of their work was established through the editorial responsibilities for the Danish journal of architecture, SKALA, and the running of an architectural gallery, also known as SKALA, at the end of the nineteen-eighties. In the nineteen-nineties, Juul & Frost continued working as curators of large scale urban exhibitions, symposia and workshops known as SKAZKI Architecture Forum.Comprehensively unified planning and the contextual angle stand as indispensable points of reference for Juul & Frost, regardless of the assignment's scale.

Résumé:
Last June, with the accompaniment of international media attention, the decision was made for a second stage of the Mariinsky Theater in St Petersburg. This opera house, famous worldwide, also due to its director and conductor Valery Gergiev, will receive a contemporary second building, built in close vicinity of the existing Mariinsky Theater, on the other bank of Kryukov canal, with additional 2000 seats. It will fully meet present day performance and technical demands. In order to underline the importance of this project for the Russian Federation, an international invited competition was launched in which the French architect Dominique Perrault, already an established figure among the world's architectural elite due to the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, emerged as the winner.

Résumé:
What can be done to create a mental and physical connection of the HafenCity and the river Elbe to the city of Hamburg and its inhabitants? This was the guiding idea of an international competition of 15 schools of architecture of three continents. The responsibles for the town planning of Hamburg and especially the HafenCity are convinced that the city of Hamburg has to abandon a part of its old attractive harbour and must give up the partly reserved attitude concerning the river Elbe. Consequently initiated by the architect and professor Dr. Peter Sturzebecher, Hamburg faces new ideas that have officially opened a reflection among the students and their professor about the new centre of the HafenCity and, in addition, about the second motorway bridge crossingthe harbour south of the Elbe. The resultats of the competition being presented close to the official model of the whole HafenCity in october 2003, results that are seen by thousands, have incited political courage and a certain destabilisation giving room for critical questions concerning the actual planning.

Résumé:
"Robert Smithson and the American Landscape" is a social history of the artist’s earthworks and their critical reception. Providing a close analysis of Smithson’s own writings and art works, Ron Graziani demonstrates how his earthworks were part of an aesthetic and civic fault line that ruptured in the 1960s. Smithson’s humanized environments were a powerful indictment of modernist sense of art and nature. Moreover, Graziani shows how Smithson’s earthworks formed part of what was called the ‘new conservationism’ in the late 1960s and how they gave material form to the contradictions of a sociological issue that was inseparable from its economic legacy.

Résumé:
This book examines one of the key notions of modernist architecture as it was formulated in Vienna around 1900. Providing a close analysis of four major buildings - Olbrich's Secession Building, Hoffmann's Purkersdorf Sanatorium, Wagner's Postal Savings Bank, and Loos's Michaelerplatz building - Leslie Topp investigates how "truth" had a variety of meanings, including truth to purpose, symbolist or ideal truth, and ethical notions of authenticity. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material, Topp offers a new interpretation of familiar buildings that are shown to encompass utopianis, hyper-rationality and subjectivism. She also explores the connections between Viennese modern architecture and contemporary painting, psychiatry, fashion, labor issues, and anti-Semitic politics.
