Summary:
One glimpse of the cascading steel beams mirrored in the reflecting pond and it's clear that the Hugo and Brigitte Eppich house is a singular achievement, a daring experiment that embodies Erickson's West Coast modernist ideas about site, material, and form.

Summary:
One glimpse of the cascading steel beams mirrored in the reflecting pond and it's clear that the Hugo and Brigitte Eppich house is a singular achievement, a daring experiment that embodies Erickson's West Coast modernist ideas about site, material, and form. Erickson's first steel residence explores both the structural and aesthetic possibilities of the material, with curved beams, dyed cladding, and milled furnishings designed by Francisco Kripacz- features that would have been near-impossible on a regular commission. But after seeing the first Eppich House, built for Hugo's twin brother Helmut, Hugo entrusted Erickson with creating and furnishing the entire house, inside and out- another first for Erickson- and made available the Eppic brothers' steel fabricating plants, which built virtually every component of the home.

Summary:
Why does live performance continue to engage us? In a world saturated with recorded entertainment, we seek out the intimacy and immediacy of live music and theater.

At its best, architecture, a collection of elements - some apparent, some hidden - shapes and intensifies the process and experience of performance. Set Pieces pairs the words of leading artists and critics with details showcasing the design and inner workings from projects by Diamond Schmitt Architects for some of the world’s most remarkable performing-arts buildings. The book provides an immersive study of sixteen design elements that enhance and transform the perception of performance - and evoke experiences that surpass visual understanding.

Summary:
Les édifices construits entre 1920 et 1950, sauf de rares exemples, ne sont pas encore passés dans notre conscience patrimoniale. Ceux de Richer ne font pas exception; ils ont été parfois altérés. L’intérêt de ce livre est double, en ce que non seulement il permet de reconstituer la carrière de l’un de ses nombreux architectes invisibles qui ont tant contribué à notre architecture et à donner un visage propre à une région, mais aussi parce qu’il propose différentes voies d’interprétation de son travail dont le vocabulaire formel est en constante évolution. Un travail de terrain et d’archives, doublé d’attention et de passion, est à la base des interventions des différents chercheurs qui contribuent à cet ouvrage. Grâce à leurs efforts, le nom de Richer résonnera de nouveau dans le paysage architectural québécois.

Summary:
The descriptive Next Generation underlines the guiding principle behind the firms chosen for this fourth installment in the series: the majority of practices are less than five years old, and more than half of them have only been in existence for two or three years. The firms included in this edition, with a few exceptions, collectively represent the youngest firms in the four iterations of Twenty + Change. Selected by a curatorial committee from more than 160 submissions, these projects by thirteen organizations engage the public realm in meaningful ways, posit new models for collective living and urban infill, advance the role of sustainability and vernacular craft, and explore opportunities for speculative and self-initiated commissions.
