Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret - Restoration of the Clarté Building, Geneva
The book describes the story of Clarté, Le Corbusier’s first apartment building, continuing the narrative into the 21st century. The steel skeleton building completed in Geneva in 1930/1932 is a prototype of the Moderne style and a precursor of the Unité d’Habitation. The building was neglected for many decades and not listed as a historic building until the 1990s. In 2007 the external envelope was repaired as the first step, followed by refurbishment of the interior, in which building preservation requirements were taken into account in an exemplary manner. The building log book by the architects and structural engineers is illustrated with numerous new and historic drawings and photographs, and has been supplemented with an account of the building’s history. The renovated building is presented in large photographs.
Louis I. Kahn
"Accademia di architettura "Mendrisio This publication on the construction of the Kimbell Art Museum by Louis I. Kahn may prove very useful to students, and to anyone interested in gaining further knowledge of the distinctive features of the Kimbell museum. It documents the long and arduous quest that often characterizes a creative process-- even that of a great master such as Louis I. Kahn. The design of the Kimbell Art Museum is the product of extraordinary intuition, and results in a masterly synthesis that solves all the problems posed by the site and the specific purpose of the construction.

MIX
Il n’a jamais été autant question de diversité et, en corollaire, d’individualisme dans l’architecture du logement. Le culte du soi et l’affirmation de l’altérité sont des paramètres qui ont pris une grande ampleur dans ces dernières décennies et qui ont fortement contribué à l’évolution récente des modes de vie. Pour tenter de répondre aux nouvelles aspirations des habitants, les architectes explorent la mixité des types de logements au sein d’un même immeuble ou d’un ensemble restreint de bâtiments. Ce phénomène trouve un ancrage historique dans plusieurs projets corbuséens des années 1920 et 1930, peu publiés, qui détiennent déjà les prémices de procédés combinatoires visibles encore aujourd’hui. Ce Cahier de théorie s’attache aussi à analyser la production contemporaine, à travers une série non exhaustive d’exemples largement illustrés et répertoriés selon leurs différents modes opératoires : des procédés génériques aux réflexions théoriques et idéologiques qui légitiment des manières différentes d’envisager la mixité typologique.
Mythos Monument
Die Reflexion des Monumentalen ist ein zentrales Thema der Architektur wie auch der Kunst nach 1945. Einerseits zeugen hiervon die Versuche, die moderne Architektur mittels eines neuen Begriffsverständnisses zu erneuern. Andererseits ist die Kunst spätestens seit den 1960er Jahren von dem Bestreben geprägt, das monumentale Selbstverständnis der Architektur zu kommentieren oder zu dekonstruieren. Der Band zeigt, wie Architektur und Kunst so in einen komplexen Dialog treten, der sich auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen beobachten lässt: von der unmittelbaren Konfrontation im urbanen Raum über die Konzeption utopischer Orte und Antimonumente bis hin zur kritischen Kommentierung zerstörter oder rekonstruierter Bauwerke und Denkmäler.

Louis Kahn
The American architect Louis Kahn (1901 - 1974) is regarded as one of the great master builders of the twentieth century. With complex spatial compositions, an elemental formal vocabulary and a choreographic mastery of light, Kahn created buildings of archaic beauty. As the first comprehensive publication on this architect in 20 years, the book �Louis Kahn - The Power of Architecture� presents all of his important projects. It includes essays by prominent Kahn experts and an expansive illustrated biography with many new facts and insights about Kahn's life and work. In a number of interviews, leading architects such as Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Peter Zumthor and Sou Fujimoto underline Kahn's significance in today's architectural discourse. An extensive catalogue of works features original drawings and architectural models from the Kahn archive. The compendium is further augmented by a portfolio of Kahn's travel drawings as well as photographs by Thomas Florschuetz, which offer completely new views of the Salk Institute and the Indian Institute of Management.
