Summary:
Mieux que toute autre espèce de création architecturale, le gratte-ciel est à la fois un élément du paysage urbain et un symbole ancré dans l'imaginaire collectif. A travers une approche originale et pluridisciplinaire du sujet, ce livre expose une réflexion d'ensemble sur le passé récent et le futur potentiel de ce type de construction. Le propos est illustré par une centaine d'exemples contemporains, choisis dans le monde entier et dus à des architectes de renommée internationale, parmi lesquels Christian de Portzamparc, Renzo Piano, jean Nouvel. Les réalisations majeures des dernières décennies sont ainsi décrites, expliquées et replacées au sein des grandes tendances artistiques dont elles sont l'expression. L'ouvrage contient également plusieurs projets inédits pour le nouveau World Trade Center de New York.

Summary:
Beyond a design school, the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) is an immersive environment — a dense atmosphere saturated with creative and intellectual activity. Platform 4 represents a selective sampling of agendas cultivated at the GSD during the last academic year, revealing a diverse mixture of projects, research, and events. Organized as a searchable database, this publication documents both site and situation at the GSD—it is an institutional index. While Platform 4 records research trajectories from the past year, it also has the capacity to set agendas for future work. By framing a set of issues and topics, Platform 4 focuses attention towards particular areas of interest, allowing individual work to build on and contribute to a larger body of disciplinary knowledge. In that sense, the themes within this book become projective, they provide frameworks for future inquiry.

Summary:
Rising stars in Boston's design scene, architects Eric Höweler and J. Meejin Yoon have in a single decade developed a reputation for radical experiments in architectural form. Their design methodology—what they call an "expanded practice"—combines intense research with interdisciplinary experimentation.Expanded Practice presents twenty-nine recent projects by this young firm encompassing a broad range of scales and media. The projects, divided into distinct but often overlapping research themes, include a museum courtyard program inspired by the Voronoi cell-packing algorithm (PS1 Loop); an outdoor light installation featuring hovering cones that capture and interact with solar energy, rainwater, and sound (Hover), etc.

Summary:
This is Höweler + Yoon’s second book. It highlights verification as an integral part of the design process and demonstrates it as a productive tool to test ideas and act on the world. For both disciplinary and contractual reasons, the instruments of design—drawings, models, and prototypes—operate on the world at a distance. This book features recent designs by Höweler +(...)

Summary:
This is Höweler + Yoon’s second book. It highlights verification as an integral part of the design process and demonstrates it as a productive tool to test ideas and act on the world. For both disciplinary and contractual reasons, the instruments of design—drawings, models, and prototypes—operate on the world at a distance. This book features recent designs by Höweler + Yoon and also examines the discipline’s pressing questions, as they relate to verification, uncertainty, and agency, in a series of essays by Eric Höweler and J. Meejin Yoon on topics that include means and methods, the public realm, energy and environments, the construction detail, and social media. These themes are echoed in conversations with collaborators, historians, and theorists.
