[.fr] Ce guide d’architecture moderne et contemporaine met en valeur la riche histoire de l’architecture de la ville de Toulouse. Offrant un regard sur le patrimoine architectural et sur le développement urbain de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle et du début du XXIe siècle, cette publication est le résultat du travail collectif d’un comité d’experts, architectes et auteurs, réunis pour donner à tous les clefs pour comprendre l’architecture autant comme pratique que comme résultat construit d’un acte de conception.

Réparti selon cinq zones géographiques dans les limites de Toulouse Métropole, le guide propose une lecture critique illustrée de plus de 140 réalisations modernes et contemporaines remarquables. Ponctué de textes thématiques d’auteurs invités, le guide propose de comprendre, au-delà de l’architecture, le contexte historique, politique et social des développements urbains successifs de Toulouse. Le guide est une invitation à la balade afin de reconnaître, comprendre et apprécier, au fil des pérégrinations, la production architecturale récente en présence à Toulouse et ses principaux protagonistes.

[.fr] Monaco est avant tout un laboratoire dédié à la densité et à l’intensité. De l’extension sur la mer à la conquête des sous-sols, la principauté rivalise d’inventivité. Plus que New York, c’est elle la véritable capitale de la congestion. Monaco délire ! Ce guide d’architecture est donc aussi un guide d’urbanisme. Le patrimoine de la ville est, par ailleurs, menacé tant l’exiguïté de cette cité-Etat appelle un renouveau permanent. D’un pay-sage sans cesse changeant naît un goût immodéré pour la nouveauté et, en réaction, une nostalgie parfois couleur pasti-che. Les styles et les époques s’y retrouvent donc pêle-mêle dans une collection improbable et unique en son genre de con-structions de toutes tailles.

Comprendre Monaco invite aussi à regarder deux communes voisines : Beausoleil, autrefois baptisée Monte-Carlo Supéri-eur, et Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Ce livre inédit a été imaginé comme une promenade architecturale conduisant sur les tra-ces de Charles Garnier, Louis Notari, Kevork Arsenian, Jean Ginsberg, Jean Badovici, Eileen Grey et Yvonne Le Corbusier, l’épouse monégasque du maître moderne. Des luxueuses villas de Beausoleil aux prestigieux palaces de Monaco, les 116 notices de ce guide ainsi que les 17 courts essais thématiques et les 22 biographies, sont une invitation à découvrir une histoire méconnue de l’architecture...

[.en] Despite the growing interest in Africa, the continent’s built environment is still largely unfamiliar in many parts of the world. The seven volumes of the Sub-Saharan Africa Architectural Guide form the first comprehensive overview of architecture south of the Sahara that does justice to the region’s wealth of buildings. In 49 chapters, each focusing on one country, richly illustrated texts by more than 350 authors from Africa and across the globe come together to produce a superlative work. On the basis of 850 selected buildings and over 200 thematic articles, the continent’s building culture is elucidated and contextualised. The diverse contributions paint a multifaceted picture of Africa’s architecture in the twenty-first century, a discipline shaped by traditional and colonial roots as well as today’s global interconnections and challenges. An introductory volume on the history and theory of African architecture provides essential background knowledge.

[.en] ‘Architectural Guide Yangon’ presents around one hundred memorable buildings from Myanmar’s historical capital. Following decades of international isolation, the city’s vast heritage remains largely, surprisingly and spectacularly intact. Rangoon – as it was known under the British – was a melting pot of British India. Vivid traces of this legacy are everywhere, especially in the city’s Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim houses of worship that often stand side by side, down town, in Yangon’s tightly-gridded streets. Since the country’s independence from the British in 1948, successive authoritarian regimes have also stamped the cityscape with their legacies. Today Yangon is a bustling and busy city in flux, at the frontier of Myanmar’s rapid opening to the wider world. Yangon’s urban fabric deserves a systematic guide that nourishes every visitor and resident’s shared fascination for the city and its history, offering countless anecdotes and notes on architectural detail.

[.es] Monterrey es conocida como «la ciudad de las montañas» en referencia a su privilegiada ubicación en las faldas de la Sierra Madre. La ciudad fue fundada en 1596 y permaneció dormida hasta finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, cuando experimentó un gran desarrollo industrial que la convirtió en una próspera urbe. Hoy en día, Monterrey es una importante metrópolis cultural, educativa y de negocios. Este libro desea mostrar la contribución de la arquitectura a la transformación de esta ciudad, comenzando por sus orígenes coloniales —aún presentes en el Barrio Antiguo— y las fundiciones y cervecerías protagonistas de la transforma­ción industrial. Se muestra también el reflejo de la modernidad en las obras de algunos célebres arquitectos mexicanos —Mario Pani, Enrique de la Mora y Luis Barragán, entre otros— y finalmente el rápido crecimiento de los actuales desarrollos residenciales, corporativos y comerciales, con diseños de varios arquitectos de talla internacional como Nicholas Grimshaw, Tadao Ando, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid y Alejandro Aravena.

[.en] Monterrey is known as ‘the city of the mountains’, in refer­ence to its privileged location at the foothills of the Sierra Madre. The city, founded in 1596, remained dormant until the turn of the 20th century, when it went through a period of rapid industrial growth that transformed it into a prosperous city. Today, Monterrey is an important metropolis brimming with culture, education, and business. This book explores how architecture contributed to the transformation of this city. It presents Monterrey’s colonial origins – ever present in the Barrio Antiguo – and the breweries and foundries that played a central role in the city’s industrial­isation. The book also explores how the spirit of modernity is reflected in the works of several famous ­Mexican architects – such as Mario Pani, Enrique de la Mora, and Luis Barragán – and finally arrives at the rapid growth of residential, corporate, and commercial developments currently taking place, with designs by internationally renowned architects such as ­Nicholas Grimshaw, Tadao Ando, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, and Alejandro Aravena.

[.en] Contemporary Japanese architecture has, for over half a century, achieved worldwide recognition not only for its highly innovative and often futuristic qualities, but also for its sensitive response to Japan’s cultural and physical context, which has become especially challenging given the country’s increasingly urbanised environment. Today, Japan’s contemporary architecture is admired perhaps as much as its traditional counterpart, with which it often maintains a meaningful dialogue.

Botond Bognar’s ‘Architectural Guide Japan’ introduces close to 700 of the most prominent examples of this fertile architecture, in addition to outlining its development from the mid-nineteenth century to the present in a concise historical essay. All texts are accompanied by about 930 colour photos, all taken by the author, and over 90 drawings. Detailed information about each entry is enhanced by geodata in the form of QR codes.

[.en] From the 1920s onwards, Milan has become a laboratory of architecture due to architects such as Giuseppe Terragni, Gio Ponti and Giuseppe Pagano. Magazines such as Domus and Casabella were founded in the 1920s which infl uenced international debate throughout the 20th century. A new trend arose following the reconstruction of the city due to damages incurred during World War II: the city is now able to combine modernity with its existing context through the works of BBPR, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella and Franco Albini. These architects introduced the renowned design which is nowadays identifi ed with Milan. In the last decade, an outstanding urban development took place owing to areas which feature the work of internationally renowned architects, including David Chipperfi eld, Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind, as well as Italian architects such as Cino Zucchi and Stefano Boeri. Owing to its ambitious projects, Milan has transformed from an industrial city to a global capital of culture, fashion and leisure. This guide proposes thematic itineraries for discovering one of the most architecturally exciting European cities.

[.en] A city famous for its rapid growth and high cost of living, London is not a place one immediately associates with pioneering housing projects. Yet the British capital has a long history of social housing and plenty of innovative residential buildings: from Henry Darbishire’s estates for the Peabody housing association to sustainable communities such as BedZED and contemporary council homes like the RIBA award-winning Dujardin Mews.

Divided by period rather than architectural style, this guide focuses on the developments in this field, beginning at the close of the nineteenth century and finishing at the present day. Twentieth-century buildings thus make up the bulk of the guide: garden suburbs, quintessentially English mock Tudor estates, and brutalist icons such as the Barbican and Robin Hood Gardens are all feature in these pages. As do lesser-known works, situated both in the heart of the metropolis and its outer suburbs.

Details of the location and nearest train station accompany the building descriptions for easy navigation, and maps give an overview for planning excursions. In addition, a comprehensive reading list provides inspiration for further investigation. Architectural Guide: London offers an alternative way to view the city’s remarkable buildings – many of which are hidden in plain sight.

[.en] The ‘Architectural Guide Norway’ showcases 150 architectural objects realized in Norway in the period from 2000 to 2020. The geography of the buildings covers both the largest and most visited cities of the country – Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger – and objects of the so-called Norwegian Scenic Routes, one of the most important infrastructure project to promote the breathtaking nature and its architecture.

Anna Martovitskaya’s selection of projects demonstrates a wide range of artistic techniques, typologies and scales, but these are not only united by the country of origin, but also by their diversity. A much more important factor of unity is the approach of Norwegian architects to the challenges they face. No matter whether it is an everyday task (e. g. a pedestrian bridge, a viewing platform or a pavilion), a large office complex or a large urban development project, the focus is always on people and their relationship to nature.

While today many voices loudly promote the need to conserve resources, Norway consistently implements the principle of environmental protection, not only through the use of innovative technologies, but also by making the buildings themselves and the developed areas the epitome of human rationality and environmental friendliness.

[.en] The architecture of the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s and mid?-1930s is attracting more and more attention from both domestic and foreign researchers, but in spite of this, entire regions ­remain unexplored. One of them, until recently, was the South of Russia - an area that encom­passes the Southern Federal Dis­­trict and the North Caucasus Federal District.The state of this architectural heritage deserves special mention. In the South of Russia during the Second World War, there were active hostilities and mass destruction. Over the course of post-war reconstruction, many buildings were rebuilt in a neo ­ classical style, and a whole layer of avant-­garde works nearly disappeared. During the post-­Soviet years, the management of these buildings was no less destructive.The product of extensive research, this guidebook divides the objects in question into two groups: those that have survived and those that have been lost forever. ­Fortunately, Architectural Guide The South of ­Russia allows readers to see more than 100 selected buildings of the Soviet avantgarde with their own eyes.

[.en] The 'Architectural Guide Australia' presents over 200 projects in the vast island continent that is home to natural wonders, coastal settlements, and tropical climates up north. Each chapter, dedicated to one of the nation’s eight state capitals, presents buildings that represent the major moments in the country’s architectural history, from its colonial origins to the contemporary era. The book includes an introduction to Australia’s most influential architects as well as essays by Harry Seidler (1923 – 2006), John Gollings, and David Bridgman.

Seidler’s essay argues for the incorporation of sunlight and shadow, phenomena so distinctly characteristic of the country’s climate, into architecture both from an aesthetic and practical standpoint. Gollings offers a historical sweep of Australian architecture before identifying the three major architectural strands of contemporary Australia. Bridgman explores the challenges of designing in the hot-humid tropics in particular, outlining the climatic considerations that must be accounted for when building in those regions.

Each chapter also includes an interview with a prominent architectural practice active in the respective city. The architects offer their views on the characteristics of Australian architecture and comment on their own practice within this context. With its comprehensive maps, aerial photographs, and images, this book is the ideal companion for those exploring Australia.

[.en] Rome has shaped European art and culture for over 2,000 years. For centuries the city was considered the caput mundi– ‘capital of the world’– and it is where the foundations of Western architecture were built. Today, more than 12 million people from across the globe flock to the Eternal City each year to admire the impressive relics of the Roman Empire and the opulent art and architecture from the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods. This guide encourages readers to venture off the beaten track and to explore Rome’s hidden gems: lesser-known yet still extraordinary buildings that date back to the second half of the twentieth century. From constructions for culture, education, sport, and mixed uses, to religious structures and residential and infrastructural projects – the 140 buildings presented here reveal a surprisingly wide variety of styles. The comprehensive volume finishes with an overview of current construction projects and recent realisations and then a selection of themed tours to follow when roaming through the Italian capital.

[.en] Sofia is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and it ­remains a relatively undiscovered melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures. Its urban ­fabric comprises a vast range of archi­tec­tures, with structures by the ancient ­Thracians, the ­Romans, the ­Byzantines, as well as works from the ­Bulgarian medieval era, the ­Ottoman Empire, and the modern day, including the peculiar period of communist historicism and modernism. This book presents the city and its capacity to produce a ­singular architectural experience by tracing its ­geography and dissecting its historical layers. ‘Archi­tectural Guide ­Sofia’ ­catalogues not only monuments and sites overlooked by standard tourist guides, but also the city’s most recent buildings, highlighting innovative works by contemporary architects. It profiles 200 selected structures from different eras, explores the genesis of the local architectures, and analyses the architectural details born out of clashes of various stylistic influences. Maps, illustrations, and an ­extensive bibliography help readers and ­travellers experience the extraordinary diversity of Sofia’s built environment.

[.en] Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Atacama Desert and the Pacific Coast: even today the apperception of Chile remains remote and indistinct. There is no doubt that its geographical location – confined between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountain range – has had a role to play in the relative nescience, although it was the former political situation that led to the country’s isolation for almost twenty years. In fact, it is only in these last fifteen years that Chilean architecture has appeared on the international stage, mostly owing to Mathias Klotz, Alejandro Aravena, Smiljan Radic and Pezo von Ellrichsausen, amongst others. Chile can take pride in having built some genuine Modern masterpieces whilst having preserved a close relationship with its culture. During the twentieth century Europe provided Chile with sources of inspiration. Le Corbusier had a great influence on Chilean architects despite never having visited the country; his followers, such as Emilio Duhart, Roberto Dávila and the BVCH office, realised buildings which are today internalised deep in the Chilean psyche. The Bauhaus movement served as another influence for architects such as Sergio Larraín. Overall, this book aims to be a practical reference source of the best architectural works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in Chile.

[.en] This architectural guide brings together 100 of the most original structures built in New York City since 1999. Vladimir Belogolovsky pairs them with such nicknames as Guillotine, Peacock, Shark’s Fin, Turtle Shell, and Woodpecker. The New York-based author’s selection covers buildings realized by the world’s most renowned architects, in a period when their creations were celebrated as art, and personal styles were encouraged by the ­media, critics, and clients. The featured time span begins with the rise of the starchitect in the late 1990s, and ends in the present day. But the mission of the book is not only to document; it is also to celebrate New York’s transformative ­energy. Many of the buildings were designed either by ­foreign architects or those who settled in the city and now call it home. Through witty, incisive commentary, catchy nick­names, quotes from the author’s interviews with the architects, and detailed maps, this singular guide allows readers to see many of New York’s con­temporary icons in a new way.

Architecture on the moon is no longer a naive fantasy dreamt up by space-flight pioneers. In fact, various building typologies for lunar architecture have emerged in recent years. Their prototypes are being tested in hostile regions on Earth and are waiting to be deployed on the moon.

This book’s publication marks the 50th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon. It examines all artefacts that we have sent to the moon, from bizarre technologies to habitation modules for astronauts. This architectural guide thus offers a full retrospective of the history of lunar missions, from the space race during the Cold War through to the missions being prepared by China, India, and Israel in the present day. All of these are considered under the rubric of architecture. At the same time, efforts to commercialise space travel have come to the fore in recent years. New players have entered the stage, competing to utilise the moon’s vast and untouched resources.

This book also presents essays by and interviews with space experts, including a discussion with Galina Balashova, renowned architect of the ­Soviet space programme, and a piece by Alexander Glushko, son of Valentin Glushko, legendary head engineer of the Soviet space programme. Brian ­Harvey, Gurbir Singh, and Olga Bannova provide an insight into current and future developments in lunar architecture, writing on China, India, and the US, respectively.

Esta guía muestra 150 edificios y proyectos de los últimos cien años, comenzando con una de las intervenciones urbanas más influyentes: la Gran Vía. Esta avenida marcó un antes y un después para Madrid, que pasó de ser una ciudad histórica a convertirse en la moderna capital que es hoy en día. Su construcción se desarrolló a lo largo de casi dos décadas, terminando el primer tramo hacia 1917. Una selección de los proyectos más relevantes desde ese momento hasta nuestros días muestra la arquitectura de esta ciudad en relación a su contexto histórico propio: la necesidad de reconstrucción del patrimonio tras la Guerra Civil Española, la influencia de los casi cuarenta años de dictadura franquista, y los nuevos materiales y arquitectura colaborativa surgidos durante la crisis económica actual, entre otros. Los siete recorridos propuestos nos llevarán por los diferentes distritos de los que se compone la ciudad, y por todas estas etapas históricas que han convertido a Madrid en la metrópolis que es actualmente.
