Pathfinders
Written by Joseph Abram, this book presents and fully documents the last buildings and a selection of projects of Devanthery and Lamuniere's works. The text focuses on the creative process of the architects, the design methods, the architectonic development and cultural background of the key aspects of their architecture. The book is beautifully designed by Dominique Emmenegger in continuity with the first monography Fo(u)r Example(s), 1996. Photographs by Fausto Pluchinotta document the buildings, projects, as well as the drawings, models, and objects which surround and give depth to the quality of Devanthery & Lamuniere's built projects.
Teaching Architecture
What are the pressing questions in architecture – in teaching, research and practice? Based on their many years of experience, professors Inès Lamunière and Laurent Stalder come together in five meetings to search for answers. They describe an approach to architecture that is based on intellect as well as intuition and is both strict and pragmatic. And they sketch out creative processes that are indispensable in the development of projects with all their constraints in order to master the future challenges faced by the art of building.

Devanthéry & Lamunière
Dieser Band präsentiert und dokumentiert die letzten 15 realisierten Bauten und eine Auswahl von 12 Projekten des Büros Devanthéry und Lamunière, u.a. die rechtswissenschaftliche Bibliothek Fleuret in Lausanne, die psychiatrische Klinik in Yverdon, das Hotel Guisan in Bern und die Villa Beck in Rolle. In ihren Werken bringen die beiden Schweizer Architekten unterschiedliche Konzeptionen der Moderne zusammen: Elemente einer expressiven und einer rationalen Architektur werden durch geometrische Bezüge miteinander vereint, Linien der äußeren Gestalt ins Innere projiziert und umgekehrt.

Le Corbusier
Originally published in Germany in 1968, this first comprehensive and critical survey of Le Corbusier's life and work soon became the standard text on the architect and polymath. French, Spanish, English, Japanese and Korean editions followed, but the book has now been out of print for almost two decades. In the meantime, Le Corbusier's archives in Paris have become available for research, resulting in an avalanche of scholarship. Von Moos' critical take and the basic criteria by which the subject is organized and historicized remain surprisingly pertinent in the context of this recent jungle of Corbusier studies. This new, completely revised edition is based on the 1979 version published in English by the MIT Press but offers a substantially updated body of illustrations. Each of the seven chapters is supplemented by a critical survey of recent scholarship on the respective issues. An updated edition of this acclaimed book, an essential read for students of architecture and architectural history.
