Résumé:
Bricks can be cleaned, timber hardens with age, and metal develops a pleasing patina without deteriorating, making them all perfect for reuse. Considering the many options for reusing building materials, this book offers a viable alternative to using those manufactured from virgin resources. This inspiring book is an antidote to the unsustainable use of materials, focusing on contemporary homes made with reused components or materials that might once have been considered waste. Divided into four key categoriesbrick— timber, metal, and a range of recycled materials— every home showcases design ingenuity and award-winning architecture. Featuring twenty-four unique houses and apartments, from a barn-inspired house made entirely with reclaimed bricks to a semidetached Edwardian with recycled benchtops and cabinets made from plastic chopping boards and bottle tops, every project shows what can be achieved with creativity and flair. Reclaimed showcases clever design while celebrating the myriad possibilities of closely aligning building with ethics and sustainability.

Résumé:
Modern urban terraced houses or row houses emerged in Europe from the 17th century onwards. Usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the back, they formed the traditional urban block. In Brussels, this bourgeois form of housing took on a particularly varied and inspiring form – including the well-known Art Nouveau residences – and forms the DNA of the city to this day. This publication analyses 100 selected examples illustrating the emergence of the terraced house and its further development in other forms of housing. The result is a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and development of the city of Brussels with its particularly heterogenous cityscape.

Résumé:
Objet de rêve, la villa balnéaire formalise une invitation au voyage où, depuis la fin du XVIIIe, architectes et entrepreneurs rivalisent d'invention et multiplient les solutions d'articulation entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur où se déroule une grande part de la vie estivale. Entre 1945 et 1980, la villégiature devient tourisme de masse et les maîtres d'oeuvre doivent s'adapter à ce changement d'échelle. Le marché de la maison individuelle et celui de la maison balnéaire dont elle n'est qu'un aspect en sont bouleversés. La créativité foisonnante qui prévaut encore dans le contexte de la Reconstruction s'essouffle devant les réalités économiques et sociologiques d'une aspiration légitime du plus grand nombre à jouir d'une petite place au soleil en bord de mer. S'appuyant sur le corpus des 12000 maisons individuelles construites entre 1945 et 1980 sur le littoral de Charente-Maritime, à Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, Royan, Ronce-les-Bains, Fouras, Châtelaillon-Plage, La Rochelle, mais aussi dans les iles d'Aix, d'Oléron ou de Ré, l'ouvrage propose, pour la première fois à l'échelle d'un département, un panorama complet de la production des maisons du littoral, des villas modernes les plus inventives à la production de maisons ordinaires qui dessinent le paysage côtier contemporain. L'ouvrage questionne les façons d'être modernes et la place qu'y occupent les architectes et les entrepreneurs concepteurs, la notion de régionalisme au moment de son abandon et de sa renaissance à l'aube des années 1980 sous la forme d'un post-modernisme vernaculaire inventif.

Résumé:
Take Rem Koolhaas’s lauded new Seattle Public Library, and remove it from its context. Would it be as beautiful? Would it lose something of its meaning (not to mention the books off the shelves), if you picked it up and placed it elsewhere? Is it even possible for a building to have no relation whatsoever to the place where it is erected? Is it pointless to talk about architecture as a pure intellectual enterprise, without grounding it in its surroundings? These are among the important questions raised by the German architecture scholar Florentine Sack in this exploration of the philosophical, aesthetic, and subjective links between a building and its environment. Drawing upon traditions as old as that of the Japanese house through models of classical Western modernism, she brings the notion of unity to bear on contemporary architecture, referring to exemplary buildings by Koolhaas, Herzog & de Meuron, Peter Zumthor, Kazuyo Sejima, Ryue Nishizawa, and many others.

Résumé:
Pour les architectes modernes, la maison individuelle a toujours été un lieu d'expérimentation et d'innovation, un moyen de mettre en application leurs idées, de tester des matériaux nouveaux. «Maisons du XXe siècle» rend compte en détail de ces évolutions, passant en revue les exemples les plus fameux de notre siècle ainsi que d'autres moins connus mais tout aussi représentatifs. Cet ouvrage s'organise de façon semi-chronologique autour de plusieurs grands thèmes : la maison comme œuvre d'art; maison moderne; les «machines à habiter»; lieux, climats, cultures; le rêve américain; modernisme scandinave; l'habitat post-moderne; continuité et mutations. À travers ces thèmes, l'auteur retrace l'histoire de l'architecture domestique contemporaine, du mouvement Arts & Crafts né dans les pays anglo-saxons à la fin du XXe siècle, jusqu'à nos jours. Chaque chapitre passe en revue un grand nombre de constructions, les plus importantes sont analysées en détail et illustrées par de nombreux dessins d'architectes, de plans, à travers plus de 400 photographies. Au-delà d'une analyse formelle, l'auteur propose ici une réflexion sur la façon dont l'architecture domestique reflète et influence l'évolution des modes de vie.
