The general reading public is likely to think of architecture as buildings. But, with this book, Robert Steinberg would like to help readers understand that architecture shapes lives. Architecture can help communities integrate and thrive. Architecture can touch us, influencing how we feel, and how we interact with others. In short, architecture can fundamentally improve our quality of life. As a young graduate architect fresh from Berkeley, Steinberg began to discover the potential of architecture to shape communities. Working with his father, an architect who had studied with Mies van der Roe (and whose father was also an architect), one of Steinberg's first projects was to draft and redraft a parking garage in downtown Silicon Valley, CA. As he mediated between the two architects in charge of the project - his father and the city architect - he noticed that with each evolution, the garage became more beautiful and refined. And with each improvement, this garage became more able to succeed in the goal of reviving the dying downtown core of Silicon Valley. 0The garage was a huge success, and Steinberg began to codify what he had learned. Thanks to the garage, he wrote the first of what would become the 9 Realities of Architecture: Architecture is the Pursuit of Perfection - a magnificent take-away from a humble parking garage project. As Steinberg eventually rose to become CEO of his firm and grew it into a global practice with six regional offices including Austin and New York, and a major office in Shanghai, he used his drive for creating thriving communities to eventually touch the lives of countless people around the world.

Les textes réunis dans ce recueil paraissent ensemble pour la première fois. Par leur réunion, ils visent à construire, au-delà des résultats établis lors de l'examen de chaque as particulier, une vision unificatrice de l'espace, de l'architecture et du sens. Au centre des questions posées se trouve l'espace humain. Dans le monde sensible, l'architecte s'occupe d'un espace à trois dimensions, cadre de l'action humaine pour laquelle il dessine un environnement à bâtir. Les murs, ossatures, ouvertures et ouvertures n'ont d'intérêt que pour donner forme à l'espace immatériel qui les traverse et les accueille à la fois. C'est de cet espace invisible que l'homme a besoin pour développer son action, et c'est cet objet immatériel qu'il faut qualifier lorsqu'on fait acte d'architecture. Les questions abordées dans ce recueil sont celles de notre rapport à l'espace, rapport conçu comme dominé par la dimension du sens. Non pas un sens individuel et idiosyncrasique, mais un sens culturellement déterminé, inscrit dans un cadre historique et géographique. En d'autres termes, la quête a pour objet d'atteindre, à travers la perception, le niveau du sens donné à l'espace et aux choses, par des communautés organisées inscrivant, tant dans la matière que dans l'espace immatériel, leurs structures sociales d'une part, et de l'autre, les valeurs abstraites, hiérarchisées, opposées et articulées qui donnent forme à leur univers mental. L'exploration de la relation de l'homme à l'espace invisible entraîne immanquablement vers l'examen de sa relation à un invisible plus radical, celui du sacré et des divinités qu'il présuppose. D'où procède l'extension de ces travaux dans le domaine de l'architecture religieuse, avec la même question lancinante : rendre compte, essayer de comprendre.

The human body has been used as both a model and metaphor in architecture since antiquity. This book explores how it has been an inspiration for the exterior form of architectural colossi through the years. It considers the body as a source of architectural and artistic representation and in doing so explores the results of such practices in colossal sculptures and architectural praxis within a philosophical discourse of space, time and media. Architectural Colossi and the Human Body discusses the role of Platonic and Cartesian philosophy and how philosophers such as Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, and theoreticians such as Frascari and Pallasmaa, have seen, described and analysed the human body and the role of architecture and perception. Drawing upon three key case studies and by employing theoretical ideas of Venturi and others, this book will provide an understanding of the role of anthromorphism and the relation and use of the human body with reference to selected architects and artists.
