Ibos-Vitart stands among the most amazing architecture offices in
France and among the few who have gained a well followed reception
internationally. Jean-Marc Ibos and Myrto Vitart have started their
career working with Jean Nouvel, being in charge with some of his
key projects. Soon after they left Nouvel, their first major work,
the extension and remodeling of Lille Fine Art Museum, won the
l’Equerre d’argent, a prestigious award in France. Their design
is the result of a deliberately restrained attitude. It is rooted
in their profound consciousness of the responsibility of the
architect in society. Delivering lasting buildings that value and
enrich a place while serving present and future users and
inhabitants is their goal. This book documents 15 Projects
extensively – designed by Ruedi Baur.
Josep Lluis Mateo (born 1949) is one of Spain's-and Europe's-most
prolific and visible architects, as energetic as a teacher and
lecturer as he is an architect. Mateo has designed corporate
headquarters, housing units, office blocks and hotels throughout
Western Europe, and has also renovated urban centers in Gerona
(Spain) and Castelo Branco (portugal). this volume looks back at
nearly 30 years of Mateo's built structures, as portrayed by the
architectural photographer Adria Goula. As well as buildings from
the 80s and 90s, it also looks at his most important projects of
the past few years, from the Banc Sabadell Headquarters renovation
(2004) and the Factory office building in Boulogne-Billancourt,
France (2010) to the PGGM Headquarters in Zeist, Holland (2011) and
the Catalonian Film Theater in Barcelona (2011). Interspersed among
Goula's photographs are Mateo's observations and musings on
architecture.
The new MEETT Toulouse exhibition and convention centre in the
French city of Toulouse once again demonstrates how a seemingly
dull, functional task results in striking and refined architecture
if the Rotterdam-based Office for Metropolitan Architecture OMA and
its mastermind Rem Koolhaas take care of it. The vast structure,
covering ca 618 by 246 yards of ground, makes for a spectacular
spatial experience in its main exhibition hall that offers 484,376
square feet of column-free floor space. OMA also took an unusual
path with regard to the configuration and transport connection of
the entire complex. Rather than sealing even more ground with
tarmac for endless car parks, it concentrated them into a compact
multi-storey parking garage at the heart of the complex that also
serves as a general traffic hub for MEETT Toulouse. The book offers
impressions of MEETT Toulouse's enormous dimensions and the vast
spaces it provides through images taken by French photographer
Marco Cappelletti. The volume is rounded out with selected plans
and concise texts on the particulars of the project.
