Summary:
The third volume in this exciting series presenting young architecture and design talents, ArchiLab's Earth Buildings turns its focus to building with the land. Projects from thirty of the most innovative young practices of today—including Field Operations, Tom Leader, NOX, Servo, Vicente Guallart, and Kengo Kuma—confront and offer proposals and solutions to issues such as dwindling natural resources, land engineering, the city as ecosystem, and the sensitive development of brown sites. Presented through extensive plans, computer renderings, and photographs, buildings and large-scale schemes reveal an almost infinite array of breathtaking ideas for the future, an inspiration for a generation of designers, practitioners, and policymakers. Essays by international critics Frédéric Migayrou, Bart Lootsma, Manuel Gausa, and others consider the earth's economy and suggest how contemporary architects might best and most responsibly respond to our fragile planet in a technology-driven age.

Summary:
Including a text by Caroline Maniaque, a conversation between Chip Lord and Pierre Huyghe, and a conversation between Bernard Blistène and Marie-Ange Braye, work annotations by Émilie Retailleau & Camille de Singly. Dedicated to the influential group of artists and architects of the American counter-culture, ‘Ant Farm' provides an overview of the groups projects, from the mythical ‘Cadillac Ranch' to ‘The House of the Century', and from ‘Media Burn' to ‘Eternal Frame'. The group's projects are based as much on conceptual art practices, as on architecture, theatre or literature. Published on the occasion of an retrospective exhibition at the FRAC Centre, Orléans, this book is filled with photographs of works and performances, essays and interviews.

Summary:
For millennia, architects and builders have attempted to rationalize cities into well-functioning and liveable places. While many aspects of a city evolve naturally, other facets result from human interventions and radical imagination. "Future city" celebrates the visionary urban schemes that have preoccupied architects trying to create a better world from the 1950s to(...)

Summary:
For millennia, architects and builders have attempted to rationalize cities into well-functioning and liveable places. While many aspects of a city evolve naturally, other facets result from human interventions and radical imagination. "Future city" celebrates the visionary urban schemes that have preoccupied architects trying to create a better world from the 1950s to the present. This publication assembles several generations of utopian architecture in a single volume. With the city serving as the context and catalyst for the works, the book provides resource for contemporary architectural and urban development and innovation in the third millennium. It features hundreds of seminal works by some sixty architects, ranging from the groundbreaking experiments of Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook, Daniel Libeskind and Coop Himmelb(l)au, alongside a new generation of rising stars, including Asymptote, NOX, UN Studio and Greg Lynn.

Summary:
Aujourd'hui, à l'ère du numérique, la création se donne dans une interaction nouvelle avec le domaine des sciences du vivant, les neurosciences, la biologie synthétique. C'est la matière même qui est explorée. Les biotechnologies sont à présent utilisées comme médium par les artistes, les designers ou les architectes. Si les outils numériques de simulation générative autorisent la recréation du vivant, la question qui se pose aujourd'hui est : comment programmer le vivant ? « La Fabrique du vivant » retrace une archéologie du vivant et de la vie artificielle. Plusieurs essais dans le champ de l'épistémologie du vivant, de l'architecture, de l'histoire de l'art et du design ainsi que de la prospective industrielle interrogent les enjeux de la biofabrication dans la conception d'objets durables ou ceux d'une architecture bio-computationnelle qui met en oeuvre de nouvelles formes de nature artificielle.
