"El París de Le Corbusier" analiza las relaciones duales entre la ciudad y el arquitecto: la dialectica entre la ciudad real - el París donde vivía- y la ciudad ideal - el París abstracto que proyectaba-. Intenta confrontar ambos mundos para entenderlos mejor. Paris es ocasion para comprender a Le Corbusier; Le Corbusier es ocasion para estudiar Paris. Ninguno de los dos factores quiere primar sobre el otro.Le Corbusier encarna la dinamica del siglo XX en Paris. Es ahi donde vive la mayor parte de su vida, donde piensa, donde escribe, donde proyecta. La ciudad de Le Corbusier es el lugar de la realidad y el lugar de la utopia. Sus propuestas: la Villa Radieuse, la Ville Contemporaine, son a la vez un gesto profetico y una imagen poetica.La confluencia de sus ideales con la realidad de Paris plantea un dialogo enriquecedor, cuyo desarrollo se expone en este libro a traves de un discurso secuencial: Edouard, Jeanneret y Le Corbusier, atendiendo al descubrimiento de Paris por Edouard, a la dialectica que Paris, provocador de energias, establece con Jeanneret, y al Paris de las propuestas de Le Corbusier, haciendo de ellas una travesia poetica y un encuentro vital. Pues Le Corbusier no solo quiso proyectar la Ville Radieuse sino tambien vivir en ella.

This book completes the trilogy devoted to Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia and is the final touch after the publication of the architect's completeworks, followed by a pocket edition in guide-book format. It differs from the earlier volumes because it shows the interiors of a selection of his most important buildings in Barcelona. If the aim of the first book on Sagnier was to rescue him for the history of architecture, and the second has helped to raise awareness of his work, the aim of this third volume is to enable us to enjoy his work in another dimension through the artistic eye of the German photographer Candida Hofer.

Peut-être que s’il n’avait pas revu la maison de son enfance, un soir par hasard, à l’aube de ses soixante ans, Paul Andreu n’aurait jamais écrit ce livre. Il aura fallu qu’il repasse par cette ville

André Jordan es una de las personas que ha conseguido transformar el Algarve de Portugal en la región que hoy conocemos. Aplicando una filosofía propia a cada una de sus promociones, ha demostrado una extraordinaria capacidad para crear entornos capaces de modificar el estilo de vida de sus habitantes. Este libro pone de relieve su especial forma de ejercer una influencia civilizadora en el entorno. Andre Jordan es mucho mas que un promotor inmobiliario y un empresario internacional. Le interesa la gente y posee un instinto natural para mejorar sus condiciones de vida. Los equipos con los que ha trabajado pronto se dieron cuenta de la necesidad de llevar a cabo promociones inmobiliarias en armonia con la naturaleza. Los resultados han demostrado la necesidad cientifica de integrar el paisaje y sus recursos, que no solo han de obtenerse en el si de las promociones, sino que ademas han de ser provechosos y adecuados.

Renzo Piano is an architect whose work seems increasingly relevant to our times. Winner of the Pritzker Prize in 1998, Piano is certainly one of the most interesting and acclaimed contemporary architects. Since his first building, the Centre Pompidou in Paris produced in collaboration with architect Sir Richard Rogers, he has realised a great number of attractive buildings all over the world, always creating new languages that combine a deep concern of the topography of the site, a clear comprehension of the brief and an amazing interest in the experimentation of new technologies. In Volume Five, Peter Buchanan shows, as he has in the previous four volumes, that Piano follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, often pushing technology beyond its present limits, and always responding sensitively to the urban fabric of the building's site. The first four volumes of the Complete Works have traced Piano's career from his early collaborations with Rogers and Peter Rice, and the formation of the Building Workshop in 1981, to the completion of Kansai Airport in 1995. This fifth volume will include Piano's latest buildings, which illustrate the continuing complexity of his work. Chief amongst these are the Nasher Collection in Dallas, the Woodruff Arts Centre Expansion in Atlanta, USA, Maison Hermes in Tokyo, Japan, and the Aurora Place Office and Apartment Towers in Sydney, Australia. As before, the book will also include 'work in progress', to demonstrate the full diversity of the Building Workshop's activities. This includes the London Bridge Tower, UK.

A spectacular visual biography of one of the greatest architects of the 20th century. By Phaidon Editors, introductory essay by Jean-Louis Cohen A spectacular visual biography of the life and work of Le Corbusier (18871965), one of Modernism''s most influential architects, urban planners, and theorists Approximately 2,000 images and documents, many previously unpublished, feature his major built works, urban plans, paintings, publications, and furniture as well as sketches, archival photographs, and personal correspondence Rarely seen photographs and correspondence shed new light on Le Corbusiers relationships with Josephine Baker, Eileen Gray, Fernand Leger, Pablo Picasso, Jean Prouve, and many others Insightful introductory essay by Frances most authoritative architectural historian and critic, Jean-Louis Cohen, and incisive chapter introductions by highly regarded Le Corbusier scholar Tim Benton The same grandly oversized format as Warhol "Giant Size" Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is one of the giants of twentieth-century architecture and design. Born Charles Edouard Jeanneret in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the self-named Le Corbusier was not only the creator of some of the most important and impressive buildings of the last century--Villa Savoye at Poissy, the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp, the Parliament Building in Chandigarh, India--he was also an accomplished painter, sculptor, furniture designer, urbanist, and author. His work and social theories continue to be a dominant force in the world of architecture and design, while his elegant bearing, typified by his round black eyeglasses, which are still today a signature look for architects around the world, helped cast him as an heroic figure out of Ayn Rand''s novel The Fountainhead. Drawing on an array of archival material, including sketches, photographs, and correspondences, Le Corbusier Le Grand depicts in roughly chronological order not only the vast and varied output of Le Corbusier, but also the major events, people, and forces that shaped the life of an artist who continues to fascinate those in and outside the architectural world.

Entre sus principales obras merece destacarse el mercado municipal de Braga (1980), un organismo lineal apoyado en rotundos muros con un espacio cubierto por una gran losa soportada por pilares de hormigon; las casas en Nevogilde (1982-1988), en Oporto, caracterizadas por el entendimiento de la naturaleza en sintonia directa con la arquitectura; la vivienda para la Quinta do Lago (1989), en Algarve, en la que retoma elementos de la arquitectura vernacula del sur de Portugal la casa en Alcanena (1992), en Torres Novas, una hermosa villa construida con muros entre viñedos. Merecen citarse asi mismo los anexos en la rua da Vilarinha (1986), en Oporto, ejemplo muy representativo de la extraordinaria sensibilidad de Souto de Moura para poner en tension arquitectura y naturaleza.

Norman Foster Works 3 focuses on projects realized from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, including Stansted Airport outside London, Bilbaos subway system, and the Millennium Tower in Tokyo. This volume examines each project in depth, featuring numerous photographs, original sketches and computergenerated drawings. From airports to underground transit stations, from museums to office towers, every building designed by Foster and Partners is a study in the synthesis of a structures individual elements: its foundation and use, the quality of its materials, and its relation to the skyline or cityscape. Students of architecture, professionals in the field, and enthusiasts of Fosters work will find much to inspire and educate them in this substantial and attractive volume.
