Abstract

Henry Van De Velde nous décrit son périple et celui de sa famille au cours de quarante années mouvementées de l'histoire européenne (1917-1957), à travers la Suisse où il se lie avec Kirchner et Romain Rolland, les Pays-Bas où il projette un musée pour la famille Kröller-Müller, et la Belgique où il est appelé en 1926 pour diriger un nouvel Institut des Arts décoratifs destiné à réitérer à Bruxelles l'expérience de son école de Weimar, devancière du Bauhaus.En dépit des polémiques attisées par Victor Horta, son école s'ouvre en 1927 dans l'ancienne abbaye de La Cambre. Elle rassemble un corps enseignant d'élite dont la pédagogie, centrée sur la pratique en atelier, influe de manière durable sur la production du pays et bénéficie d'une reconnaissance internationale avec les pavillons de la Belgique aux Expositions de Paris 1937 et de New York 1939.Parallèlement, il édifie la bibliothèque de l'Université de Gand (1933-1940), avec sa « tour de livres », et devient conseiller artistique auprès des Chemins de Fer belges et des Malles Ostende-Douvres. Ce rôle, il l'exerce aussi auprès du ministère des Travaux publics avant d'accepter une mission analogue, en 1940, au Commissariat général à la Restauration du Pays, placé sous l'autorité de l'administration militaire allemande.Après-guerre, déprimé par des enquêtes qui se soldent par un non-lieu, il s'installe en Suisse, à Oberägeri, où Alfred Roth et Max Bill veillent sur lui. Il y rédige ses Mémoires et reçoit des personnalités comme Giedion, Neutre, Aalto ou Philip Johnson, intéressées par cet autodidacte, protagoniste de l'Art nouveau, désormais reconnu comme l'un des pères de l'architecture moderne du XXe siècle.

Abstract

Over the last few decades, a rich and increasingly diverse practice has emerged in the art world that invites the public to touch, enter, and experience the work, whether it is in a gallery, on city streets, or in the landscape. Like architecture, many of these temporary artworks aspire to alter viewers' experience of the environment. An installation is usually the end product for an artist, but for architects it can also be a preliminary step in an ongoing design process. Like paper projects designed in the absence of "real" architecture, installations offer architects another way to engage in issues critical to their practice. Direct experimentation with architecture's material and social dimensions engages the public around issues in the built environment that concern them and expands the ways that architecture can participate in and impact people's everyday lives. The first survey of its kind, Installations by Architects features fifty of the most significant projects from the last twenty-five years by today's most exciting architects, including Anderson Anderson, Philip Beesley, Diller + Scofidio, John Hejduk, Dan Hoffman, and Kuth/Ranieri Architects. Projects are grouped in critical areas of discussion under the themes of tectonics, body, nature, memory, and public space. Each project is supplemented by interviews with the project architects and the discussions of critics and theorists situated within a larger intellectual context. There is no doubt that installations will continue to play a critical role in the practice of architecture. Installations by Architects aims to contribute to the role of installations in sharpening our understanding of the built environment.

Abstract

La vocation des architecte et dessinateur Luc et François Schuiten a été suscitée par un artiste de talent : leur père, l'architecte Robert Schuiten (1912-1997). Dans les années 1940-1950, celui-ci s'est révélé comme un inventeur de maisons écologiques avant la lettre. Adaptées au site, au climat et aux conditions économiques, elles captent la nature dans des serres, des balcons-pergolas et des jardins d'hiver. Suivant l'exemple de Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Schuiten a réalisé de nombreux dessins, aquarelles, gouaches et peintures, afin de convaincre ses contemporains d'habiter des maisons ou des villas suburbaines plutôt que des appartements confinés et sans jardin. Apôtre de la vie au grand air, il a défendu son point de vue dans des livres illustrés par ses soins et publiés à compte d'auteur. Il se situe ainsi dans la lignée de ses illustres aînés Albert Laprade, Jean-Charles Moreux et Charles Letrosne. Plus tard, il s'adonnera entièrement à sa première passion, la peinture où il poursuit d'incessantes recherches sur la lumière et la couleur, notamment dans les thèmes bibliques.

Abstract

Trained as an architect, between 2008 and 2016 Olivier Goethals worked for the Belgian office of De Vylder Vinck Taillieu. Yet during that time he also embarked on a kind of odyssey to explore the age-old distinctions between art and architecture. The result is ‘Play Sincerely’, a personal credo and concept borrowed from the philosopher Alan Watts. The book offers an overview of Goethals’s many and varied activities – everything from writing poems and designing scenographies to programming gifs, giving lectures, sculpting objects, and filling notebooks. Goethals enjoys keeping it positive and simple, exactly in order to preserve and celebrate the complexity of things. With an introduction by Christophe Van Gerrewey, and a Q&A with Olivier Goethals and Bernardo Kastrup

Abstract

Gianni Pettena (born 1940, Bolzano, Italy) was a central figure in research regarding the boundary between architecture and art in the later 1960s - a movement Germano Celant dubbed "radical architecture." Together with the Florentine groups Archizoom, Superstudio, and UFO, and Turinese groups like the Gruppo Strum, Pettena helped expand and redefine the limits of what could be described as architecture, making a fundamental contribution to the ferment that animated, at an international level, city planning debates in those years. Independently of his fellow radicals in Florence, Pettena took an anarchic and ironic attitude toward authority, whether exercised in politics, progress, or planning. Through an extraordinary variety of means, including installation, performance, photography, video, and design, he has remained "on strike out of his love of architecture" for more than fifty years. Rather than practice the discipline, he has chosen to challenge it through the language of art, critical and expository writing, and the medium of teaching. Within a practice filled with implications, attention to a respectful relationship with nature and its resources has been a constant characteristic of his work, and remains a crucial lesson in the context of the current environmental crisis.
