Le contemporain se généralise. On a tendance à classer les bâtiments en deux catégories élémentaires : les bâtiments privés comme les maisons d'habitation, et les bâtiments publics, comme les gares ferroviaires, les salles de concert ou les musées. Les bâtiments publics ont leurs limites propres: qu'il s`agisse d un palais de justice, d'un aéroport, d'un stade ou d'un campus universitaire, les questions de style, de fonction ou de coûts se posent clairement. La résolution de ces tensions n'est qu'une des nombreuses questions qui entrent en jeu lorsqu'il s'agit de définir une architecture publique. Cet ouvrage explore les réponses les plus créatives à ces questions, et à d'autres connexes, et montre comment, ces dernières années, l'architecture publique a subi un formidable bouleversement, un véritable réveil esthétique. Là où la norme était aux formes résolument classiques et guindées, l'audace esthétique et l'innovation sont de plus en plus récompensées, après que des architectes renommés, comme Herzog & de Meuron ou Jean Nouvel aient ouvert la voie à une nouvelle génération de bâtiments vraiment publics, une architecture qui concilie un accès ouvert au plus grand nombre et une esthétique autrefois réservée à une minorité. "Public Architecture Now" met ici l'accent sur cette nouvelle architecture publique, innovante et surprenante, en train d'émerger dans le monde entier, de l'Espagne à la Norvège, en passant par le Chili, la Chine et les États-Unis. h(19/08/10)ttp://www.evene.fr/livres/livre/philip-jodidio-public-architecture-now--43490.php (19/08/10)

From the mighty halls of ancient Alexandria to a camel bookmobile on the Kenyan-Somali border, human beings have had a long, enraptured relationship with libraries. Like no other concept and like no other space, the collection of knowledge, learning, and imagination offers a sense of infinite possibility. It's the unrivaled realm of discovery, where every faded manuscript or mighty clothbound tome might reveal a provocative new idea, a far-flung fantasy, an ancient belief, a religious conviction, or a whole new way of being in the world. In this new photographic journey, Massimo Listri travels to some of the oldest and finest libraries to reveal their architectural, historical, and imaginative wonder. Through great wooden doors, up spiraling staircases, and along exquisite, shelf-lined corridors, he leads us through outstanding private, public, educational, and monastic libraries, dating as far back as 766. Between them, these medieval, classical, baroque, rococo, and 19th-century institutions hold some of the most precious records of human thought and deed, inscribed and printed in manuscripts, volumes, papyrus scrolls, and incunabula. In each, Listri's poised images capture the library's unique atmosphere, as much as their most prized holdings and design details. Featured libraries include the papal collections of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Trinity College Library, home to the Book of Kells and Book of Durrow, and the priceless holdings of the Laurentian Library in Florence, the private library of the powerful House of Medici, designed by Michelangelo. With meticulous descriptions accompanying each featured library, we learn not only of the libraries' astonishing holdings - from which highlights are illustrated - but also of their often lively, turbulent, or controversial pasts. Like Altenburg Abbey in Austria, an outpost of imperial Catholicism repeatedly destroyed during the European wars of religion. Or the Franciscan monastery in Lima, Peru, with its horde of archival Inquisition documents. At once a bibliophile beauty pageant, an ode to knowledge, and an evocation of the particular magic of print, Listri Libraries is above all a cultural-historical pilgrimage to the heart of our halls of learning, to the stories they tell, as much as those they gather in printed matter along polished shelves.

Designer und Architekten müssen täglich über Farben entscheiden. Aber wie findet man die wegweisende Inspiration? Die passende Farbe? Wie gehen andere Gestalter oder Künstler mit dem Thema um? Unter dem Titel Chroma, dem griechischen Wort für Farbe, gibt der vorliegende Bildband Antwort auf diese Fragen und macht deutlich, dass Farbe eben nicht nur Dekoration ist, sondern eine der zentralen Problemstellungen kreativer Arbeit. Dabei setzt Chroma auf die sinnliche Erfahrung von Farbe, inspiriert und verführt mit außergewöhnlichen Projekten von Industrieprodukten bis Farbfeldmalerei. Das Buch präsentiert sowohl die Arbeiten jüngerer Designer wie Stefan Diez und Arik Levy als auch die berühmter Künstler wie Ellsworth Kelly. Sämtliche Arbeiten sind großformatig dargestellt und in einer Art Farbverlauf den Kapiteln "monochromatic", "multichromatic" und "achromatic" zugeordnet. Das Spektrum umfasst alle erdenklichen Töne und Kombinationen, von leuchtenden, bunten über dezente Farbkompositionen, bis hin zu Schwarz-Weiß-Kontrasten. Ein weiteres Kapitel analysiert die Arbeit herausragender Künstler, Architekten und Designer wie Gerhard Richter, Konstantin Grcic oder Sauerbruch Hutton, die sich in besonderem Maße mit Farbe auseinandersetzen und zu einer charakteristischen Farbwelt gefunden haben. Ein alphabetischer Index liefert Hintergrundinformationen zu den ausgewählten Personen und Studios. Designers and architects have to make decisions regarding color every day. But how does one find the necessary inspiration? The appropriate color? How do other designers and artists deal with the issue? With Chroma, the Greek word for color, as its title, this illustrated book provides answers to these questions and makes it clear that color is much more than mere decoration - it is one of the central problems of creative work. In the process, Chroma embraces the sensuous experience of color, inspiring and seducing the reader with unusual projects, from industrial products to color field painting. The book presents works by younger designers like Stefan Diez and Arik Levy as well as famous artists like Ellsworth Kelly. All of the works are presented in large-scale reproductions and also in a kind of color gradient, in which they are assigned to the chapters "monochromatic," "multichromatic," and "achromatic." The spectrum encompasses all conceivable shades and combinations, from brilliant and colorful through tasteful and subdued all the way to black-and-white contrasts. An additional chapter analyzes the work of outstanding artists, architects, and designers like Gerhard Richter, Konstantin Grcic, and Sauerbruch Hutton, who grapple with color to an unusual degree and have formulated characteristic chromatic worlds. An alphabetical index provides background information on the artists and studios selected.

L'ouvrage "accompagne une rétrospective de premier plan à la fondation LUMA à Arles, au parc des Ateliers d'Arles". Il traite de onze modèles d'habitations préfabriquées conçues par Jean Prouvé." Ferronnier de formation, Jean Prouvé se considérait davantage comme ingénieur-constructeur que comme concepteur-architecte. Dans sa large production, qui s'étend du luminaire au mobilier, en passant par les stands d'exposition et les rayonnages, ses constructions modulaires occupent une place importante. Des textes mettant son œuvre en situation sont accompagnés d'images d'archives et d'autres plus contemporaines, de dessins et de notes manuscrites, ainsi que d'un portfolio de photographies représentant les douze maisons montées à Arles.

Architecture and Anarchism documents and illustrates 60 projects, past and present, that key into a libertarian ethos and desire for diverse self-organised ways of building. They are what this book calls an ‘anarchist’ architecture, that is, forms of design and building that embrace the core values of traditional anarchist political theory since its divergence from the mainstream of socialist politics in the 19th century. These are autonomy, voluntary association, mutual aid, and self-organisation through direct democracy. As the book shows, there are a vast range of architectural projects that can been seen to reflect some or all of these values, whether they are acknowledged as specifically anarchist or otherwise. Anarchist values are evident in projects that grow out of romantic notions of escape – from isolated cabins to intentional communities. Yet, in contrast, they also manifest in direct action – occupations or protests that produce micro-countercommunities. Artists also produce anarchist architecture – intimations of much freer forms of building cut loose from the demands of moneyed clients; so do architects and planners who want to involve users in a process normally restricted to an elite few. Others also imagine new social realities through speculative proposals. Finally, building without authority is, for some, a necessity – the thousands of migrants denied their right to become citizens, even as they have to live somewhere; or the unhoused of otherwise affluent cities forced to build improvised homes for themselves. The result is to signifi cantly broaden existing ideas about what might constitute anarchism in architecture and also to argue strongly for its nurturing in the built environment. Understood in this way, anarchism off ers a powerful way of reconceptualising architecture as an emancipatory, inclusive, ecological and egalitarian practice.

The book is a compendium of homes, including apartments and single-family houses, that have been remodeled to suit contemporary lifestyle needs. Rehabilitations of living spaces are often done to reanimate existing constructions that, over time, have become impractical, if not obsolete. The challenge is to adapt these existing buildings to contemporary standards while maintaining what might still be useful or what we like about them. Most old buildings are very compartmentalized, reflecting the human habits of their time and the available building technology. Nowadays, we like to live in much more open and airy spaces--and new building methods allow for the removal of walls that ultimately free up space. We renovate and upgrade living spaces to various degrees, ranging anywhere from upgrading fixtures and appliances to removing and reconstructing walls and expanding buildings. While extensive work is sometimes required, these rehabilitations can result in stunning transformations. Many add comfort and increase utility, not to mention that the investment generally adds value to the property. This inspirational book showcases a range of rehabilitated projects, from ones that begin by totally stripping out interiors to a clean slate, to less extensive work that might be limited to cosmetic changes or simple finish and fixture upgrades. Existing dwellings have proved themselves flexible to changing necessities, and they are key to the regeneration of our living environment.

"In the 21st century the architects and designers of urban spaces face great challenges to integrate nature in order to transform cement forests into forest cities . Perhaps the best solution is to go green with vertical landscapes. More than just a decorative trend, this is a means of bringing life and greenery into metropolitan areas by using different framing systems to create compositions of plant life and adapt them to diverse settings, including offices, factories, parking lots, hotels, and installations within larger parks. Enriched by the reflections of the inventive protagonists of this fertile new aesthetic, Going Green with Vertical Landscapes is organised by theme and canvases early experiments conducted by famous design companies like Vo Trong Nghia Architects (VTN), Fytogreen Australia and RYUICHI ASHIZAWA ARCHITECTS & associates. All of these projects combine man-made materials, recent technologies, and diverse types of vegetation to conquer the vertical dimension"--Provided by publisher.

Access and accessibility are central themes in architecture and urbanism. Moreover, access is a key concept in many other areas such as knowledge and education, healthcare etc. This book deals with this world of access in architecture, city planning, and neighboring fields. Access and accessibility are central themes in architecture and urbanism. The goal is to make buildings accessible both horizontally and vertically, as well as to provide them with technical infrastructure. But the aim is also to ensure the accessibility of whole streets, routes, parks, and squares, and even entire cities and regions. Today, access is a key concept in the most disparate areas of life. Thus, it is also a matter of access to knowledge and education, access to knowledge media like the Internet, access to healthcare, access to languages, etc. In thirteen articles, this book deals with this world of access in architecture, city planning, and neighboring fields. Topics include ensuring the accessibility of entire urban areas, renewing that of areas that were previously utilized differently, including the general populace in concept planning, and how architecture can help provide access to a better quality of life.
