Summary:
Architectural drawings are charged with responsibility. They have a legal and contractual status, an educational function, command the act of construction and direct the work involved in constructing the building: drawings have a reason for being in the world that goes beyond their own limits. What happens when the drawing is freed from these responsibilities? What idea of architecture might emerge from drawings that can speak other languages? What might architecture become if it were free to experiment with other concerns? The series of drawings by fala presented in this book seem to ask exactly that question. They are drawings made after the fact. After construction, they are freed from the external responsibility of persuading or instructing; they have no duty to convince about anything that might exist beyond themselves. This is the opposite of the traditional linear process of sketch > drawing > construction. Here, the building acts as a preliminary sketch to the drawing.

Summary:
Ce volume présente des œuvres et des projets de Christoph Hesse Architects. Il s'agit de pavillons réalisés pour la documenta quinze de Kassel, de lieux ouverts, c'est-à-dire d'installations conçues comme des espaces de rencontre, de régénération de bâtiments en ruine transformés en musées ou en espaces publics. L'approche des projets est en phase avec l'esprit profond de la communauté, désireuse d'essayer de nouvelles choses et de les mettre en œuvre. Le studio aime penser à des projets qui, d'une manière ou d'une autre, déclenchent un processus pour construire différemment, toujours envisager de nouvelles perspectives, sortir des sentiers battus. L'intégration dans un processus de collaboration avec des personnes créatives de professions et de compétences différentes, la recherche d'une identité profonde, d'une construction écologique et autosuffisante sont des aspects présents dans le travail du studio, ainsi que la nécessité de rétablir un lien entre les individus, l'environnement et l'architecture.

Summary:
This slim volume examines the architecture of the new ''Experimenta Science Center in Heilbronn'' from three different perspectives. Seen in terms of urban history, this building—designed by Berlin-based firm Sauerbruch Hutton—simultaneously stands as an icon and a tool for change. As a construction, it follows its own experimental path, both in organizational, structural and ecological terms. Finally, the project is the late offspring of a typological family of spiral buildings which stretches from antiquity via the modern movement up to the present. All three perspectives are captured in Florian Heilmeyer’s concise and lucid texts and are illustrated by numerous photos and drawings.

Summary:
Bruno Reichlin est l’un des plus grands théoriciens de l’architecture du XXe siècle. Dans son étude des œuvres clés de Le Corbusier, il envisage à la fois la nature même du bâtiment et son fondement théorique. Les textes de Reichlin et sa pratique architecturale sont marqués par son approche des signes et symboles se manifestant dans les œuvres construites ainsi qu’un vaste cadre référentiel allant de la littérature et du cinéma aux beaux-arts. Ce livre rassemble 13 essais sur l’œuvre de Le Corbusier, rédigés par Reichlin au cours d’une quarantaine d’années. À partir de constructions telles que la Villa La Roche, le Carpenter Center, la Petite Maison et les villas Savoye et Mandrot, sans oublier le projet pour l’hôpital à Venise, le livre explore les multiples aspects de la créativité de Le Corbusier dans leurs principes et leur mise en œuvre architecturale. Un très large fond de documents historiques et des graphiques analytiques spécialement conçus pour ces essais accompagnent les textes.

Summary:
Rem Koolhaas' spaces for living, including his apartments and houses, are collected for the first time in book format. This new book highlights this important aspect of his work: with texts, plans and photographs, it presents the Patiovilla in Rotterdam, the Villa Dall'Ava in Paris, the Dutch House in Holten, the Maison à Bordeaux, and the Nexus Housing in Fukuoka/Japan. Their common theme is an intense search for freedom. As with all of Koolhaas' work, a clever play with openings, transparencies and transparent and opaque surfaces makes these living spaces permeable to the variations of light, weather, and function.
