 A L`instar de l`Espagne, le Portugal connu ces dernières années un éveil spectaculaire après des années de léthargie imposées para la dictature. Avec la révolution des Oeillets de 1974, les penseurs sur la ville et les bâtisseurs prennent enfin la parole. Dès lors, la production connaît un essor formidable - certes plus qualitatif que quantitatif. Ainsi, les écoles d`architecture de Lisbonne et de Porto sont des foyers vivants et féconds de réflexion et de formation.
Zaha Hadid - Car park and terminus strasbourg

 The blurry interface of exurbia and suburbia represents strange and alien territory for architects, because the context is usually vague and the space haphazardly organized. Zaha Hadid’s work in Strasbourg capitalizes on the haphazardness of its suburban setting. To reconcile the car and the dense historic fabric of Strasbourg, Zaha Hadid responded to the site with elegant but deceptive simplicity. She folded a concrete canopy up from the ground to stretch diagonally across the bus and tram lanes toward the parking lot and Strasbourg beyond, as though pulled in that direction. The parking lots demonstrate Hadid’s assumption that buses and the trams are a permanently impermanent part of the station’s overall organization and composition Hadid treats the cars that park here almost as natural phenomena with their own diurnal rhythms. In 2003 Zaha Hadid won the Mies van der Rohe Preis for this project.

Les Abords Du Chez-Soi

free shipping

 Le chez-soi, dans les pratiques de l'habiter ou dans les idéologies et conceptions du logement, est intrinsèquement marqué par la dualité ouverture/fermeture l'ouvrir à l'air, à la lumière et aux vues agréables ainsi qu'à la proximité avec des familiers ; le refermer et préserver son intimité des regards et de l'intrusion. Une telle dialectique ne concerne pas que les limites et dispositifs physiques qui relient ou séparent les sphères privatives, collectives et publiques de l'habitat, mais touche aux questions des rapports entre individus. Ainsi peut se comprendre la longue lignée de discours et projets sur ces liens supposés à la fois sociaux et spatiaux, aux visées tantôt défensives, tantôt conviviales. Transition, prolongement, espace intermédiaire, voisinage : l'auteur éclaire les enjeux et références de cette quête d'un entre-deux, en s'attachant aux apports des sciences humaines au même titre que des doctrines des architectes et urbanistes. Utopies sociétaires ou communautaires, apologie de la maison, hygiène et pittoresque de la rue, essor de la copropriété, clarification gestionnaire des espaces libres, exigences sécuritaires : ces conjonctures de l'entre ville et logement ont pour dernier avatar l'engouement actuel pour la résidentialisation.

Analyse Urbaine

by Jean-Charles Depaule, Marcelle Demergon e Philippe Panerai

~~12,72€~~ 10,18€ 20% OFF

free shipping

 La connaissance et la compréhension d'une ville ne forcent pas l'évidence, notamment pour les métropoles étendues marquées de strates historiques successives. Une première phase d'observation permet d'identifier les différences : tracés qui s'additionnent, se superposent, s'interrompent et ressurgissent, bâti qui se renouvelle et s'étend au gré d'une lente densification par excroissance, surélévation, découpage et comblement. L'urbanisation accélérée de la période contemporaine marque encore plus radicalement le paysage par le volume des constructions, le mode d'implantation et les techniques utilisées. Pour aller plus loin, il convient d'élaborer une connaissance d'investigation en mêlant l'approche historique, la géographie, le travail cartographique, l'analyse architecturale, l'observation constructive et celle des modes de vie. En affirmant l'importance du dessin comme un moyen de comprendre et de rendre sensible.

Du Rond-Point Au Giratoire

 Une figure du mouvement est apparue et prolifère dans l'espace urbain français qui, avec plus de 20 000 unités, se situe en tête des pays occidentaux. Les spécialistes les appellent giratoires, le grand public ronds-points. Cette étude nous conduit d'abord au coeur des forêts de chasse et des jardins classiques, puis, via les embellissements du XVIIIe siècle et le Paris d'Haussmann, jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle, au moment décisif où les inventeurs d'une nouvelle science nommée urbanisme. (Cerdà, Sitte, Stübben) cherchent une solution aux conflits des voitures dans les carrefours urbains. Mais c'est à Eugène Hénard, en 1906, que l'on doit l'invention du carrefour à giration, dispositif que les architectes du XXe siècle ne cesseront de reprendre et de décliner. Aujourd'hui, si l'efficacité des carrefours giratoires en termes de circulation et de sécurité est avérée, la controverse concerne leurs effets normatifs et homogénéisants, comme les contre-feux qu'ils provoquent : la surenchère décorative sensée célébrer le local au sein d'un réseau routier toujours plus déréalisant.

 Petite but Powerful A sweeping survey of small-scale architectural invention Small Houses is a tribute to the endless artistic inventiveness of architects and ingenuity of perception of the familiar and known concepts. It is also a conscious pivot towards sustainability and reduction of impact on the environment as well as a daring attitude of change in lifestyle. As humanity faces inevitable pressures such as climate change, an increase in population, and strain on resources, these solutions are helping shape what the world may look like in the future. Whether in the dense urban areas of Tokyo, the wilderness of Australia, the woods of Canada, or a rooftop in Ecuador, this is the world of Small Houses. The one common point they share, is that they all have an area of no more than 100 square meters. Spanning 25 countries such as Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, Netherlands, USA, Japan, and Australia, described here there are houses designed by 54 architects, including Takeshi Hosaka’s Love2 House, Aranza de Ariño’s Casa Tiny, and the work of Jakub Szczesny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG, and Fran Silvestre. This is a journey not only through recent evolutions in architectural design and creativity, but it is also a step toward a more sustainable world.

Cabins - (45th Edition)

 Life in the Woods Creative cabin architecture, from California to Sapporo Ever since Henry David Thoreau’s described his two years, two months, and two days of refuge existence at Walden Pond, Massachusetts, in Walden, or, Life in the Woods (1854), the idea of a cabin dwelling has seduced the modern psyche. In the past decade, as our material existence and environmental footprint has grown exponentially, architects around the globe have become particularly interested in the possibilities of the minimal, low-impact, and isolated abode. Cabins combines insightful text, rich photography, and bright, contemporary illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi to show how this particular architectural type presents special opportunities for creative thinking. In eschewing excess, the cabin limits actual spatial intrusion to the bare essentials of living requirements, while in responding to its typically rustic setting, it foregrounds eco-friendly solutions. The cabin comes to showcase some of the most inventive and forward-looking practices of contemporary architecture, including Renzo Piano, Terunobu Fujimori, and Tom Kundig, all embracing such distilled sanctuary spaces. The book showcases the variety of cabins in use and geography. From an artist studio on the Suffolk coast in England to a bamboo bungalow in Sri Lanka, this collection is as exciting in its international reach as it is in its array of briefs, clients, and situations. Constant throughout, however, is architectural innovation, and an inspiring sense of contemplation and coexistence as people return to nature and to a less destructive model of being in the world.

They are robust, durable, economical, easily transportable, adaptable and sustainable. Their versatility makes them adaptable to the most diverse scales and needs: single-family and collective housing, shopping centers, offices, schools, hotels, restaurants, shelters, laboratories and works of ephemeral architecture.
Piranesi. The Complete Etchings

by Luigi Ficacci

~~80,00€~~ 64,00€ 20% OFF

free shipping

 Archaeology and Imagination Impossible staircases and startling ruins from Italy’s master engraver The most famous 18th-century copper engraver, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) made his name with etchings of ancient Rome. His startling, chiaroscuro images imbued the city’s archaeological ruins with drama and romance and became favorite souvenirs for the Grand Tourists who traveled Italy in pursuit of classical culture and education. Today, Piranesi is renowned not just for shaping the European imagination of Rome, but also for his elaborate series of fanciful prisons, Carceri, which have influenced generations of creatives since, from the Surrealists to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Edgar Allan Poe, Jorge Luis Borges, and Franz Kafka. Loosely based on contemporary stage sets rather than the actual dingy dungeons of Piranesi’s day, these intricate images defy architectural reality to play instead with perspective, lighting, and scale. Staircases exist on two planes simultaneously; vast, vaulted ceilings seem to soar up to the heavens; interior and exterior distinctions collapse. With a low viewpoint and small, fragile figures, the prison scenes become monstrous megacities of incarceration, celebrated to this day as masterworks of existentialist drama

 The Future of Housing The latest trends in green residential architecture from around the world Travel across continents and climates to experience architecture that’s rewriting the rules of sustainability. Like the other titles in our Homes for Our Time series, each of the 63 projects in Sustainable Living opens a window into a unique dwelling inspired by the pressures and possibilities of a warming planet with finite resources. The result is a sweeping story of architects, ranging from Norman Foster to the Snøhetta practice, building in bold new ways that honor the ecosystems our planet depends on. Homes that strive to leave the lightest possible imprint, from the moment their materials are sourced to the day they’re returned to the earth. Energy-efficient envelopes, low-impact structures, recycled and biodegradable materials, designs attuned to sun, wind and rain. Each construction is an illuminating chapter in architecture’s evolving quest to do no harm, beautifully photographed and annotated, alongside biographies of the architects who created them. No single region or style holds the monopoly on eco-friendly innovation. Marvel at the multiplicity of inventive responses: affordable bamboo structures rising above floodwaters in Hanoi, a home created from locally-quarried rock and slate in a Japanese forest, a brick cube encouraging passive cooling in the heat of Ahmedabad, an emergency shelter literally unrolled in a Venetian garden, a passive house nestled beneath Australian treetops. Whether modest or monumental, these enviable projects prove that sustainability isn’t a look or a pose, but a mindset that transcends traditions, borders, and budgets. Each one invites us to design smarter, live lighter, and waste nothing.
Tadao Ando - Sketches, Drawings, and Architecture

 The Visual Language of an Architect Tadao Ando’s sketches and drawings This hugely revealing journey through the mind and memory of one of architecture’s great poets is told in Tadao Ando’s own words. A very personal volume, it traces five decades of prolific creativity, gathering over 750 sketches, models, and technical drawings that reveal the essence of his practice. From the raw immediacy of pencil lines to the precision of technical drawings, witness the evolution of many of his most famous projects— among them Row House in Sumiyoshi, Rokko Housing, Chichu Art Museum, Bourse de Commerce—not as isolated moments of inspiration, but as living architectural projects, shaped by time, travel, and reflection. More than a monograph, this is a map of Ando’s inner landscape. He remembers light of a stone monastery in southern France, the deep spatial resonance of a stepwell in Ahmedabad, and the labyrinthine mystery of cave dwellings in Cappadocia. Experienced during his early travels in his youth, these memories became seeds. Learn how these fragments of experience, filtered through body and emotion, reemerged as intense spatial dramas, rendered in concrete, glass and light. Ando has remained faithful to the fragility of the hand-drawn line. For him, it is not the slick perfection of digital models, but the struggle and spontaneity of sketching that captures the true heartbeat of architecture. This book is both a record and a reverie: a meditation on how buildings begin, and how they belong to the flow of time, to memory, and the enduring pursuit of beauty. Also included is an appendix with a complete listing of Ando’s built and unbuilt projects. In Ando’s own words: "Our imaginations may expand endlessly, shaping the invisible scenes in our minds—this is the never-ending story of architecture."
