The quintessential Japanese architect of today, Kengo Kuma has forged a modern design language that artfully combines the countrys traditional building crafts with sophisticated technologies and materials. Associating a deep understanding and respect for native construction techniques with a more globalized outlook than many of his compatriots, Kengo Kumas work represents a significant generational shift in a country rich with contemporary architecture. From his iconic Glass House (1995) to the Nezu Museum in Tokyo, this is the complete record of Kengo Kumas built work, comprising twentyfour projects to date. Architecture historian Kenneth Frampton frames Kumas work in the context of post-war Japans flourishing architecture scene and influential figures and offers a perspective on the international acclaim of Kumas ideas and buildings. Projects are organized by the material themes that have come to define the architects output: Water and Foliage; Wood; Bamboo and Grass; and Stone and Ceramics. Kuma develops a personal and architectural reflection on each. Each building is presented through descriptive text, newly commissioned photographs and detailed drawings, this last revealing a privileged view of the refined architectonic vocabulary that characterizes Kumas buildings. With the close collaboration of Kuma, this major monograph fully documents a leading light of the global architecture scene, offering a rich insight into contemporary interpretations of Japans ancient building traditions. This beautifully produced book will be an inspiration to any designer who aims to create spaces for history and the future.

En 1895, quand ils inventent le cinématographe, Auguste et Louis Lumière ont trente-trois et trente et un ans... Ce coup de génie, ils le doivent à leur jeunesse, à leur prodigieuse faculté de résoudre pratiquement les problèmes techniques les plus complexes - pour tout dire : à leur sens inné du bricolage ! Il était donc urgent de sortir des sentiers battus pour raconter la vie des frères Lumière et fêter les cent ans de leur invention. Et parce que l'on ne peut comprendre Auguste et Louis sans connaître leur père, Antoine, c'est une véritable saga que nous offre Jaques Rittaud-Hutinet : l'histoire d'un père et de ses deux fils. L'un est artiste, les deux autres sont savants. Le père aime, chante et travaille; les fils inventent comme ils respirent : des appareils innombrables, des médicaments, la photographie en couleurs, et surtout le cinématographe, cette étrange machine à reproduire la vie, qui va très vite dépasser ses inventeurs... Très vite en effet biographie et aventure se mêlent, dans un tumulte où se bousculent les sensations hallucinées des premiers spectateurs, les intrigues amoureuses ou scientifiques, la recherche passionnée des premiers cinéastes, la course effrénée de cette caméra qui semble grandir tout ce qu'elle regarde. Une épopée grandiose et intimiste, une épopée de la Belle Epoque, à la charnière de deux siècles, à travers les continents, de la Russie à l'Amérique, de l'Europe à l'Asie ! Au fil des anecdotes pittoresques ou drôles, émerge peu à peu le roman vrai du cinématographe : émerveillement, enthousiasme, fascination. Il aura suffi de quelques centaines de petits films pour modifier définitivement notre perception de l'espace et du temps, de quelques années pour que cette machine à rêver opère une véritable révolution du regard. Grâce aux frères Lumière, à Méliès et à quelques autres, le cinématographe peut devenir cinéma

'In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his particular studies added his own.' So is described one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century, yet Alan Turing's name was not widely recognised until his contribution to the breaking of the German Enigma code became public in the 1970s. The story of Turing's life fascinates and in the years since his suicide, Turing's reputation has only grown, as his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology have become better appreciated. To commemorate the centenary of Turing's birth, this republication of his mother's biography is enriched by a new foreword by Martin Davis and a never-before-published memoir by Alan's older brother. The contrast between this memoir and the original biography reveals tensions and sheds new light on Turing's relationship with his family, and on the man himself.
