Abstract

In the late 1980s, Japan was awash in seemingly unlimited wealth and rising toward what would be the peak of its modern economic success, power, and influence. In 1991 the same lethal combination of risky loans, inflated stocks, and real estate speculation that created this "bubble economy" caused it to burst, plunging the country into its worst recession since World War II. New Zealand-born architect Thomas Daniell arrived in Japan at the dawn of this turbulent decade. After the Crash is an anthology of essays that draw on firsthand observations of the built environment and architectural culture that emerged from the economically sober post-bubble period of the 1990s. Daniell uses projects and installations by architects such as Atelier Bow Wow, Toyo Ito, and the metabolists to illustrate the new relationships forged, most of necessity, between architecture and society in Japan.

Abstract

Le livre met en scène, par le récit et l'image, la naissance et le développement de l'agence d'architecture LAN composée par les architectes Benoît Jallon et Umberto Napolitano. Année par année, les projets et les réalisations prennent une place dans une démarche qui s'affine tout en se construisant. Non sans un certain sens de l'ironie, les architectes racontent leur quotidien jetant ainsi une lumière originale et décalée sur l'architecture et sa pratique. Parmi les réalisations et interventions de l'agence : une chapelle funéraire à Naples (2002-2003), l'usine APC à Corbeil-Essonne (2004), Musée pour le pôle de l'excellence de l'ameublement, Neufchâteau (2007), 35 Logements pour l'OPAC de Paris en habitat passif (2007), RIVP – 150 logements étudiants à Paris (2007). L'agence LAN-Architecture est créée en 2002 par Benoît Jallon et Umberto Napolitano, architectes DPLG, diplômés de l'École d'architecture de Paris la Villette en 2001. Le nom qu'ils choisissent pour l'agence refléte clairement leur démarche : "LAN" (Local Architecture Network). "Il est important pour nous", écrivent-ils, "d'exprimer l'idée de réseau, "Network", représentant l'interdisciplinarité de l'architecture. "Local" fait référence au rôle primordial du contexte et de l'environnement pour chaque projet". L'agence LAN-Architecture a été lauréate aux Nouveaux Albums de la Jeune Architecture (NAJA) en 2004.

Abstract

"How to be a Happy Architect" explores the work of Leeds-based Bauman Lyons Architects in the context of ways of 'being' within the profession. This subject is broken down into three chapters, written by one of the practice's directors, and CABE Commissioner, Irena Bauman. These explore subjects such as the ways of working as a team and in partnership with clients; the power struggle between art and architecture; and the significance of awards and prizes in contemporary architecture. The writing within each chapter constitutes a chain of thought that is sparked off by a 'provocation' from sources as diverse as Ayn Rand, Socrates and press coverage of contemporary buildings like the Scottish Parliament. Further, the book illustrates projects that are outlined in the chapters, including Barnsley Media Centre, Bradford Bus Shelters and Bridlington Promenade, and give an overview of the breadth and variety of the work that Bauman Lyons undertakes, including cultural, healthcare and residential buildings. "How to be a Happy Architect" provides both a profile of one of Britain's most vibrant practices, and a challenge to the reader to explore outside his or her usual approach to, and philosophy of, architecture.
