Architecture Competitions and the Production of Culture, Quality and Knowledge
[Winner of the 2016 Bronze medal in Architecture, Independent Publisher Book Awards] This book comprises a series of 22 case studies by renowned experts and new scholars in the field of architecture competition research. In 2015, it constitutes the most comprehensive survey of the dynamics behind the definition, organization, judging, archiving and publishing of architectural, landscape and urban design competitions in the world. These richly documented contributions revolve around a few questions that can be summarized in a two-fold critical interrogation: How can design competitions - these historical democratic devices, both praised and dreaded by designers - be considered laboratories for the production of environmental design quality, and, ultimately, for the renewing of culture and knowledge? Includes 340 illustrations, bibliographical references and index of over 200 cited competitions. Keywords: Architecture / International competitions / Architectural judgment / Design thinking / Digital archiving (databases) / Architectural publications / Architectural experimentation / Landscape architecture / Urban studies
Architecture et patrimoine
Trois décennies d’engagement au service de la collectivité: c’est en ces termes qu’on pourrait qualifier l’action publique de Jean-Pierre Dresco, envisagée comme le reflet d’une période où toute une génération d’architectes remet progressivement en cause les bienfaits du progrès et de la modernité et envisage son métier essentiellement sous un angle éthique, social et économique. Cet ouvrage collectif s’attache à retracer les principaux moments qui ont balisé sa longue carrière, tout en mettant l’accent sur la période comprise entre 1972 et 1998 où il est architecte cantonal du Canton de Vaud.

Urbanizing the Alps
For plenty years, many popular mountain resorts have seen largely uncontrolled development consisting of the multiplication of archetypal chalet-style houses. This is usually accompanied by roadbuilding for private cars. In order to protect these tourist destinations and their natural environs from further uncontrolled development, the author investigates different settlement structures such as Andermatt, Avoriaz, Verbier, Zermatt,and Whistler-Blackcomb. On the basis of detailed graphical analyses, she develops groundbreaking strategies for urban densification and suitable mobility management, which can also be transferred to other tourist areas.
