"L'étendue des réalisations de Renzo Piano est aussi impressionnante dans sa variété que dans sa diversité d'échelle, de matériaux et de formes. II est certainement l'un des architectes actuels - et même des siècles antérieurs - à être doué de la sensibilité la plus diversifiée " Tel est le portrait de Renzo Piano donné dans les attendus du jury qui lui remit le prestigieux Pritzker Prize en 1998. Alors que certains architectes possèdent un style immédiatement reconnaissable, Piano applique simplement la cohérence de sa réflexion à chaque nouveau projet de façons extraordinairement différentes, parce qu'elles sont déterminées par celui-ci. "L'une des grandes beautés de l'architecture, c'est qu'il aime à dire l'architecture est qu'à chaque fois c'est comme si la vie repartait", Piano. "Comme pour un metteur en scène de cinéma qui tourne à une histoire d'amour, un western ou un film policier, chaque projet apporte une confrontation avec un nouvel univers." Ceci explique qu'il faut souvent plus qu'un regard superficiel pour reconnaître l'empreinte de l'architecte dans des projets aussi variés que le Centre Pompidou ou le Centre culturel )Jean-Marie du Kansai à Osaka, au Japon Tjibaou à Nouméa, en Nouvelle-Calédonie (1991-1998). Cette étonnante toute monographie, illustrée de photographies, de croquis de plans, des aperçus sur carrière de Renzo Piano à ce jour. Elle comprend également les projets actuels comme la London Bridge Tower qui, avec 66 niveaux, sera l'immeuble le plus haut d'Europe

Brick by Brick The world's most innovative brick buildings Of all building materials in the world, brick is one of the most enduring and ubiquitous. Traces of brickmaking date back to 7500 BC and fired brick first made its appearance in about 3500 BC. Since then, the trusty brick has shown amazing resilience and remains one of the mainstays of contemporary architecture. Rooted in tradition in countries as different as China and the Netherlands, it is inexpensive, flexible in use, and can also be ecologically fabricated. This comprehensive two-volume set tours the world to cover the most exciting and innovative brick buildings of the past 15 years, from Argentina to New Zealand. True to all TASCHEN architecture tomes, it includes new talents like Argentina' Diego Arraigada and Vietnam's Nguyen Hai Long as well as established starchitects such as Tadao Ando and Peter Zumthor. Featured buildings showcase the variety of brick applications across cultural, domestic, infrastructure, and leisure spaces, including Tate Modern Switch House by Herzog & De Meuron, Tidy Architects' Amorio Restaurant in Santiago, and Mass Design Group's Maternity Waiting Village in Kasungu, Malawi.

Miguel Angel Aragonés

The new buildings designed by this Mexican contemporary architect, who has developed a unique, personal, and minimalist style. Miguel Angel Aragonés has gained international attention with his spectacular private residences and buildings throughout Mexico and beyond. This lavish volume features eleven of his stunning interiors and residences that show off his spare aesthetics and sophisticated principles of all-white, uncluttered interiors during the day that light up with cinematic neon colors at night. Considered an important member of the Mexican and Latin American architectural vanguard, Aragonés is known for his modernist sensibilities and creative use of lighting. Aragonés has a knack for creating harmonious spaces in overwrought environments. Rombo is a series of private houses located in a central, tree-lined neighborhood in Mexico City, which light up with color bursts of neon to transform the properties from day to night. Mar Adentro is a luxury resort in Cabo San Lucas that adopts his principles with an archipelago of stark white cubes fanning toward the horizon and various platforms connected by paths that appear to float on mirrored saltwater pools. This dual-language volume will appeal to those interested in greats such as Legorreta and Barragán, as well as the Latin American school of modernism.
