  • Archi-Ne Ws 2/20 17
    www.archi-europe.com archi-news 2/2017 BUILDING AFRICA EDITO If the Far East seems to be the focal point of the contemporary architectural development, the future is probably in Africa. Is this continent already in the line 17 of vision? Many European architects are currently building significant complexes: 2/20 the ARPT by Mario Cucinella, the new hospital in Tangiers by Architecture Studio or the future urban development in Oran by Massimiliano Fuksas, among other projects. But the African architectural approach also reveals real dynamics. This is the idea which seem to express the international exhibitions on African architecture during these last years, on the cultural side and architectural and archi-news archi-news city-panning approach, as well as in relation to the experimental means proposed by numerous sub-Saharan countries after their independence in the sixties, as a way to show their national identity. Not the least of contradictions, this architecture was often imported from foreign countries, sometimes from former colonial powers. The demographic explosion and the galloping city planning have contributed to this situation. The recent exhibition « African Capitals » in La Villette (Paris) proposes a new view on the constantly changing African city, whilst rethinking the evolution of the African city and more largely the modern city. As the contemporary African art is rich and varied – the Paris Louis Vuitton Foundation is presently organizing three remarkable exhibitions – the African architecture can’t be reduced to a single generalized label, because of the originality of the different nations and their socio-historical background. The challenges imply to take account and to control many parameters in relation with the urbanistic pressure and the population.

    MONOLITHES OU L’ARCHITECTURE EN SUSPENS (1950—2010) Artistes et Architectes du FRAC Centre Raimund Abraham, Paul Andreu, Architecture Principe, André Bloc, Frédéric Borel, Andrea Branzi, Chanéac, dECOi, DOGMA, David Georges Emmerich, Günter Günschel, Hans Hollein, IaN+, Jan Kempenaers, Aglaia Konrad, Ugo La Pietra, Claude Parent, Gianni Pettena, Walter Pichler, Charles Simonds, Superstudio, Pierre Székely, Marino Di Teana. Artiste invité : Vincent Mauger. EXPOSITION AU FRAC CENTRE 18 SEPTEMBRE 2010 — 30 JANVIER 2011 Cette exposition thématique à partir de la collection du FRAC Centre a réussi le pari de mettre en résonance des œuvres d’artistes avec des projets d’architectes autour du thème du « monolithe ». Ce fil métaphorique nous fait voyager de l’utopie aux projets construits, des « rochers suspendus » de Hans Hollein à l’aéro- port de Roissy 1 de Paul Andreu. On remarquera l’importance du programme liturgique dans le renouveau du langage architectural de l’après-guerre, comme en témoignent l’église du Carmel de Saint-Saulve de Székely et l’église de Nevers de Claude Parent et Paul Virilio. Cette exposition augure bien de celles qui seront présen- tées sur le nouveau site du FRAC Centre, nourrissant un dialogue entre les expressions artistique et architecturale ainsi qu’entre des projets des années 1960 et des œuvres d’artistes actuels. Par ailleurs, l’incroyable richesse de la collection du FRAC Centre sera enfin accessible grâce à une Galerie permanente sur son nouveau site dès l’automne 2011. En lien étroit avec ses partenaires culturels à Orléans et en région, le FRAC Centre s’y affirmera comme un lieu convivial, ouvert à tous, où la culture se donnera dans toute sa vitalité et sa diversité.

  • Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity in Search of a Win-Win
    03.19.18 GIVING VOICE TO THOSE WHO CREATE WORKPLACE DESIGN & FURNISHINGS Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity The 2018 Pritzker Prize, universally considered the highest honor for an architect, will be conferred this year on the 90-year- old Balkrishna Doshi, the first Indian so honored. The citation from the Pritzker jury recognizes his particular strengths by stating that he “has always created architecture that is serious, never flashy or a follower of trends.” The never-flashy-or-trendy message is another indication from these arbiters of design that our infatuation with exotic three-dimensional configurations initiated by Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid – and emulated by numerous others – may have run its course. FULL STORY ON PAGE 3… In Search of a Win-Win: The Value Engineering Process When most design professionals hear the term value engineering, a dreaded sinking feeling deep in the pit of their stomach ensues. Both the design firm and the contractor are at a disadvantage in preserving the look and design intent of the project, keeping construction costs to a minimum, and delivering the entire package on time. officeinsight contributorPeter Carey searches for solutions that make it all possible.

Copyright © Médiathèque Jacques BAUMEL - Tous droits réservés Copyright © Médiathèque Jacques BAUMEL Page 1/3 Claude Parent, l'oeuvre construite, l'oeuvre graphique L'exposition Reconnu aujourd'hui par les jeunes générations, Claude Parent fut longtemps oublié, marginalisé dans une utopie qui fascine encore hors de nos frontières, en Amérique comme en Asie. "Utopiste du territoire", comme le qualifiait récemment Paul Virilio, son complice dans l'aventure de la "Fonction oblique", Claude Parent est l'un des héros de la modernité. <span class='spip_document_8269 spip_documents spip_documents_left' style='float:left;'> L'expérimentation est son champ d'investigation permanent. On lui doit deux des icônes de l'architecture contemporaine : la Maison de l'Iran à la Cité universitaire de Paris et l'église Sainte-Bernadette du Banlay à Nevers. Auteur également de « maisons cultes » comme la Maison Drusch à Versailles (le célèbre cube renversé), ou la Maison Bloc à Antibes, Claude Parent a travaillé en série sur deux programmes qui manient la grande échelle : les centres commerciaux et les centrales nucléaires. Pour EDF, il deviendra en quelque sorte le directeur artistique du programme "architecture du nucléaire" et dessinera personnellement deux "Maisons de l'atome" sur les sites de Cattenom et de Chooz.

  • Press Kit: VINCI, the Art of Museums
    PRESS KIT VINCI, the art of museums Press kit /// VINCI, the art of museums /// June 2013 1 Introduction The Museum concept was first introduced in Europe, primarily in France, at the end of the 18th century for reasons that originally had nothing to do with economics or urban amenity. Until the 1950s, the purpose of the museum was exclusively conservation, in a continuation of the 19th century tradition of private collections. The real museum revolution originated primarily in the United States, where Peggy Guggenheim laid the foundations for the 20th century museum industry, and was also driven by democratisation and the development of cultural industries in Europe. Today, the number, role and visibility of these institutions have undergone radical change. No longer exclusively focused on conservation, the museum has become a flagship institution that lends resonance to the community. Cultural activities create economic value and give cities momentum. Culture also promotes social inclusion when approached as a way to improve "living together". The museum is now seen as an urban landmark and a driver of urban life. With its innovative and bold architecture, the museum is often a work of art in its own right. Building or renovating a museum is therefore a high profile but complex operation. The success of such projects requires broad vision, acknowledged capabilities in advanced technology engineering, sophisticated resources, flawless coordination and total commitment to managing people. On the strength of these qualities, VINCI companies regularly work on exceptional museum projects around the world. Their design, building, network and maintenance expertise makes all the difference in the demanding museum market.

  • Enjoying the Outdoors Since 1947 Vestre of Norway Presents Street Furniture with Emphasis on Quality, Innovation and Function
    VESTRE AT CLERKENWELL DESIGN WEEK 2014 Enjoying the outdoors since 1947 Vestre of Norway presents street furniture with emphasis on quality, innovation and function. The design is rooted in the principle of the Scandinavian aesthetic: products that are accessible and available to everyone. DATE: 20-22 MAY 2014 POP-UP EXHIBITION LOCATION: ST JAMES’ CHURCH GARDEN, CLERKENWELL CLOSE, LONDON EC1R 0EA Vestre invites you to visit our exhibition at the historic Clerkenwell site, which is the perfect venue to exhibit Vestre’s collection of street furniture and to enjoy the outdoors. We are delighted to announce that we will be serving genuine Scandinavian outdoor lunches. Vestre’s furniture is intended to bring something unique to, and cope with use in, the urban streetscape.
