Résumé:
L'œuvre « dessinée » de Peter Märkli peut être étudiée indépendamment de son œuvre construite. Parfois, on retrouve ces dessins dans ses œuvres réalisées mais, en général, il s'agit plutôt de projets ou plus précisément de thèmes de projets en puissance. Pour Märkli, le dessin est un traitement sensible de stimuli et de suggestions, une appropriation personnelle d'une expérience. Ses dessins montrent parfois des marques d'effacement, d'hésitation. Ils sont lisibles en superposition et permettent de multiples niveaux de lecture, en épaisseur, en profondeur : il s'agit clairement d'une recherche de réponses. L'idée s'y décline en variations : couleur, proportions, hiérarchies, ordre, pleins et vides, mouvement. La feuille dessinée est donc le lieu où l'idée n'est pas « simplement » représentée ou décrite, mais plutôt ce chemin tortueux où elle naît, se développe et se précise. Après « Peter Märkli. À la recherche d'un langage », publié en 2019 par Cosa Mentale, Caryatide, propose à nouveau une étude approfondie de l'œuvre de Peter Märkli. Le livre « Peter Märkli. Dessins, disegni » se présente comme une réédition (édition franco-italienne), augmentée et mise à jour avec des planches inédites, de l'ouvrage original paru chez Quart Verlag en 2015 (édition anglo-allemande). Le livre est constitué d'une sélection du corpus de 700 dessins collectés au fil des ans par Peter Märkli lui-même. Les dessins sont accompagnés de huit essais écrits par des auteurs liés à Peter Märkli.

Résumé:
Despite the fact that he shaped Venice and its contemporary form, Eugenio Miozzi remains a little-known figure. Yet both locals and visitors experience his legacy every day, in particular when they cross his bridges: from the Ponte della Libertà, to the Ponte dell’Accademia; from the various bridges over the Rio Nuovo, to the exemplary Ponte degli Scalzi. Miozzi, chief engineer of the Commune of Venice from 1931 to 1954, carried out a large number of works and projects, including a vast modernist parking garage and the Casino on the Lido. The prolific engineer-architect played a role in the development of the Teatro La Fenice, made plans for the restoration of the city and the extension of the Tronchetto, and designed a translagoon road and a motorway from Venice to Munich. These projects and the others presented in this illustrated volume represent Miozzi’s tireless efforts to guarantee the city’s survival by combining its centuries-old traditions with a spirit of innovation.

Résumé:
Presentations and analyses of Kahn's essential realized buildings are the focal point of this book, from the early work, which has gained recognition only in recent years, to the large-scale projects for the capital buildings of Bangladesh in Dhaka and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad. The book's starting point is the reconstruction of the design process of the buildings according to their plans and elevations. Kahn's distinctive modernism, exemplified in projects such as the Richards Laboratories in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, is traced to its most simple and basic geometric shapes and is developed in fascinating complexity. The drawings, made exclusively for this publication, are combined with previously unpublished photographs.

Résumé:
Cornelia Brierly was one of the first apprentices to attend Frank Lloyd Wright's school of architecture. Before long, she was a working colleague of the master architect; during the last thirty years of his career, she made important design contributions to many of his building projects. Brierly has spent most of her life at Wright's Taliesin (Wisconsin) and Taliesin West (Arizona). This illustrated memoir tells the story of nearly seventy years spent with the Taliesin Fellowship. It is an important work, not only because of the author's closeness to the twentieth century's foremost architect but because she has observed at first hand the unfolding of organic architecture -- Wright's design precepts made manifest. In an affectionate, honest, and preceptive book, she celebrates the fellowship as a way of life and brings to life a vibrant community that is still going strong, forty years after Wright's death.

Résumé:
Harrie Thomas Lindeberg (1879-1959) was one of America's most prominent 20th century domestic architects. He designed refined country houses throughout the United States for an elite clientele, and his name became synonymous with the rich man's country estate. Royal Cortissoz, in his introduction, cited Lindeberg's distinctive artistic personality as a key to his success and put him on a par with Charles McKim, Charles Platt, Henry Bacon, Stanford White, and John Russell Pope. Lindeberg was one of a large group of American architects who trained in the offices of McKim, Mead and White. Born in New Jersey, he served as an assistant to Stanford White on prestigious domestic commissions prior to White's death in 1906. Shortly thereafter he formed a partnership with his colleague Lewis Colt Albro and quickly became a sought-after designer of rustic country houses for the elite of American society. His style was urbane, refined and elegant, yet was always touched with a hint of idiosyncratic wit, much like that of his English contemporary Edwin Lutyens. His 1940 monograph is a rare and beautiful example of the folio retrospectives that chronicled the careers of leading domestic architects of the early 20th century. Virtually all of his major commissions are represented in large-format photographs and plans.
