Après ses projets pour Disney, Vitra ou Minneapolis, lancés entre 1987 et 1990, Frank Gehry, Pritzker 1989, allait devenir infiniment redevable envers la Fondation Guggenheim. En effet, à la suite de négociations avec la région basque et la capitale émiratie – la fondation n'assurant qu'un rôle d'opérateur de ses propres collections –, Thomas Krens lui confiera les musées(...)

Summary:
Après ses projets pour Disney, Vitra ou Minneapolis, lancés entre 1987 et 1990, Frank Gehry, Pritzker 1989, allait devenir infiniment redevable envers la Fondation Guggenheim. En effet, à la suite de négociations avec la région basque et la capitale émiratie – la fondation n'assurant qu'un rôle d'opérateur de ses propres collections –, Thomas Krens lui confiera les musées de Bilbao (1991-1997) et d'Abou Dabi (2006-2017). Depuis, ce modèle de franchise a révolutionné les stratégies muséales et urbaines – notamment celles du Centre Pompidou-Metz ou des Louvre-Lens ou Abou Dabi. Mais les fondations Luma (2010-2018) ou Louis-Vuitton (2001-2014) s'appropriant elles aussi le « style Gehry » à Arles ou à Paris, que révèlent donc toutes ces mutations privatisées ?

Summary:
Né en 1926, Hugh Hefner est à l'origine du magazine Playboy et de sa compagne indissociable : la playmate. Pourtant, en dépit d'un tirage centuplé entre 1953 et 1973, il faut se défaire de ce storytelling de banal self-made-man. Car à mi-chemin de Walt Disney et d'Albert R.

Broccoli (le principal producteur des films de James Bond), Hefner est d'abord un authentique créateur d'univers. Sexy pour les uns, sexiste pour les autres, l'excentricité érotique de ses penthouses cache en réalité une cosmétique bien plus vaste. Avec son jet privé Big Bunny, ses hôtesses, ses clubs, ses Manoirs Est et Ouest, sa Grotte, son zoo, son lit connecté et ses filiales multimédias, Hefner a finalement inventé un monde illusoire à l'image de l'Amérique : le sien.

Summary:
Frank Gehry has revolutionized the use of materials in design and redefined how architects use computers as a design tool to advance form-making as we know it. He has achieved worldwide fame for such large-scale public projects as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California, but it was in private houses that Gehry first explored and interrogated the principles of modern architecture. In these houses—most notably his own, in Santa Monica, Gehry distorted, expanded, and collapsed the modernist box, exploring everyday materials experimenting with color, and challenging accepted notions about geometry and structure. Color photographs, sketches, and plans create an illuminating visual record of some of the most groundbreaking, seminal projects of Gehry’s oeuvre.

Summary:
This book takes the primitive amusements of pleasure gardens as its starting point and launches from there into a rich, in-depth investigation of the evolution of the theme park over the twentieth century. Lukas examines theme parks in countries around the world – including the United States, UK, Europe, Japan, China, South Africa and Australia – and how themed fairs and parks developed through diverse means and in a variety of settings. The book examines world-famous and lesser-known parks, including the early parks of Coney Island, a series of World Fairs and their luxurious exhibition halls, Six Flags parks and virtual theme parks today, and, of course, Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Lukas analyses the theme park as a living entity that unexpectedly shapes people, their relationships and the world around them.

Summary:
Vanessa R. Schwartz engagingly presents the jet plane’s power to define a new age at a critical moment in the mid-20th century, arguing that the craft’s speed and smooth ride allowed people to imagine themselves living in the future. Exploring realms as diverse as airport architecture, theme park design, film, and photography, Schwartz argues that the jet created an aesthetic that circulated on the ground below. Visual and media culture, including Eero Saarinen’s airports, David Bailey’s photographs of the jet set, and Ernst Haas’s experiments in color photojournalism glamorized the imagery of motion. Drawing on unprecedented access to the archives of The Walt Disney Studios, Schwartz also examines the period’s most successful example of fluid motion meeting media culture: Disneyland. The park’s dedication to “people-moving” defined Walt Disney’s vision, shaping the very identity of the place. The jet age aesthetic laid the groundwork for our contemporary media culture, in which motion is so fluid that we can surf the internet while going nowhere at all.

Summary:
Los Angeles is a breeding ground for adventurous experimental architects and a magnet for their high-profile clients. "L.A. 2000+" assembles the best work completed in the city since 2000, offering a snapshot of the region and its architecture at the dawn of the twenty-first century. From the widely celebrated Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles by architect Frank Gehry to lesser known but equally arresting works such as Studio Pali Fekete Architectsí, Somis Hay Barn in Ventura County and Godfredsen-Sigalís Hustler Casino in Gardena, the picture that emerges is sometimes startling and unexpected but always impressive. This volume collects thirty original new buildings, designed by both as yet unheralded talents such as null.lab and predock_frane and internationally renowned architects such as Gehry, Thom Mayne of Morphosis, and Eric Owen Moss. The introductory essay by urban designer John Leighton Chase puts these works in historical and architectural context, offering a unique perspective on the opportunities and difficulties inherent in building in a region known not only for its explosive population growth but also for the artistry of its inhabitants.

Summary:
In '''Architecture unbound,'' noted architecture critic Joseph Giovannini proposes that our current architectural landscape ultimately emerged from transgressive and progressive art movements that had roiled Europe before and after World War I. By the 1960s, social unrest and cultural disruption opened the way for investigations into an inventive, antiauthoritarian architecture. Explorations emerged in the 1970s, and built projects surfaced in the 1980s, taking digital form in the 1990s, with large-scale projects finally landing on the far side of the millennium. '''Architecture unbound'' traces all of these developments and influences, presenting an authoritative and illuminating history not only of the sources of contemporary currents in architecture but also of the twentieth-century avant-garde and the twenty-first-century digital revolution in form-making, and profiling the most influential practitioners and their most notable projects, including Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Bilbao and Walt Disney Concert Hall, Zaha Hadid’s Guangzhou Opera House, Daniel Libeskind’s master plan for the World Trade Center, Rem Koolhaas’s CCTV Tower, and Herzog and de Meuron’s Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing.
