Le Corbusier is famous for his dictum that "a house is a machine for living in." What he meant by this was that architecture must be at the service of all of us: it must facilitate our daily lives and the relationships between us and it must, above all, provide a comfortable home. To achieve this, each element of the house must be part of a well-oiled machine.This(...)

Résumé:
Le Corbusier is famous for his dictum that "a house is a machine for living in." What he meant by this was that architecture must be at the service of all of us: it must facilitate our daily lives and the relationships between us and it must, above all, provide a comfortable home. To achieve this, each element of the house must be part of a well-oiled machine.This introduction to the architecture and ideas of Le Corbusier for children of ten and over – it will fascinate architecture-minded adults too – brings to life the man, the architect, his work and the world in which he lived. The words are his own and with the accompanying photographs and drawings serve to reveal the philosophy behind the architecture.

Résumé:
Italo Rota was born in 1953 in Milan and graduated from the Milan Polytechnic Institute in 1982. In 1980, he and Gae Aulenti created the plans for the Musee d’Orsay and the Centre Beaubourg in Paris. In 1990, he initiated the planning for the Center for Postgraduate Studies at Columbia University. His return to Italy marked the beginning of a highly creative phase, including projects that ranged from museum installations, the "Maison Cavalli" (the showroom-cafés in Miami, Milan, and Moscow), to a series of public buildings in Italy and India. This book focuses on a recent decade of Rota’s work and is aimed at professionals and lovers of architecture, fashion, and design.

Résumé:
In this first English-language edition of Oscar Niemeyer’s memoirs, the architect reveals how his many passions – among them his large family, many friends, the sensuous landscape of Brazil, women, communism, art and literature – have influenced his life and in turn inspired his architecture. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Niemeyer graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in 1934. As a student he worked in the office of Lucio Costa, and on graduation he began collaborating with Le Corbusier on a new Ministry of Education and Health Building in Rio. Yet in contrast to the International Style, Niemeyer’s curvilinear forms reflected Brazil’s lush, undulating landscape and the emotive style of its music and dance. Here Niemeyer recounts his life in an informal, fluid narrative that moves from his childhood in Rio to friendships with intellectuals and politicians such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Fidel Castro, to tales of adventurous road trips. The book includes forty sketches by Niemeyer executed specially for these memoirs, a chronology of his life and career, notes and an index.
