Les cahiers de l'Ibois
A thorough and interdisciplinary look at the many aspects of wood construction over the past three hundred years. The IBOIS Notebooks offer a societal, ecological, cultural, and political look at wood construction. Through the work and critical analyses of authors from various disciplines, these notebooks reveal the structuring, sometimes contradictory, and often underestimated role of timber construction in the architectural evolution of the last three centuries. This biannual editorial project, led by Christophe Catsaros, philosopher, journalist, and architecture critic, and Yves Weinand, architect-engineer and director of the Wood Construction Laboratory (IBOIS) at École polytechnique fÃ...

Ibois notebooks
"Trois auteurs inaugurent cette première édition des cahiers de l'Ibois, l'initiative éditoriale semestrielle issue du laboratoire de l'EPFL consacré à la construction innovante en bois: Françoise Fromonot revient sur l'épopée héroïque de Jørn Utzon et de ce qu'il a vainement tenté de réaliser au moment de la construction de l'opéra de Sydney. Stéphane Berthier offre un panorama assez complet de la place de l'Ibois dans la constellation des laboratoires qui mettent au point des techniques de conception et de fabrication assistées par ordinateur. Quant à Yann Rocher, il s'efforce d'établir les nombreux liens constructifs et symboliques entre le matériau utilisé pour construire le Pavillon en bois du Théâtre de Vidy et sa fonction de lieu scénique."--Page 4 de la couverture du volume 1.

Urbanité hybride / Hybrid Urbanity
Countering the phenomenon of sprawl in the often anonymous or chaotic urban periphery, the Oassis neighborhood in Lausanne takes a unique approach based on urbanity and hybridization. Located on a former industrial wasteland in the west of the city, Oassis reflects the compositional principles of the traditional city, while also engaging in the dynamics of ecological transition and climate resilience. This ‘urban fragment’ is both an urban fabric, compatible with future developments in the neighborhood, and an architectural object characterized by urbanity. The contemporary challenges of regenerating suburban areas are addressed here through diverse development programs and a profusion of gardens. Skilful combination of economic, ecological and social factors with high-quality architecture With unpublished documents and specially commissioned photographs
Under Fire
"Under fire explores the organization and representation of contemporary armed conflict. This book, part of the project's first phase, involves discussions between artists, political scientists, critics, activists and journalists on a wide array of issues around warfare and representation. The topics covered in this volume include battle simulation and news programming, democracy and violence, the privatization of the military and the militarization of the civilian realm." From back cover.
Italian Imprints on Twentieth-Century Architecture
Italian architecture has long exerted a special influence on the evolution of architectural ideas elsewhere - from the Beaux-Arts academy's veneration of Rome, to modernist and postmodern interest in Renaissance proportion, Baroque space, and Mannerist ambiguity. This book critically examines this enduring phenomenon, exploring the privileged position of Italian architects, architecture, and cities in the architectural culture of the past century. Questioning the deep-rooted myth of Italy within architectural history, the book presents case studies of Italy's powerful yet problematic position in 20th-century architectural ideologies, at a time when established Eurocentric narratives are righ...

Group8 (english/french)
In 2000, a group of architects founded their office in Geneva - group8.

They include the 2018 GA building for the EPF Lausanne, and the CI residential tower in Meyrin, with an integrated private clinic. De aedibus is series on contemporary Swiss architects; an archive of carefully selected buildings and highly qualified projects. Text in English and French.
