Rien ne serait visible sans lumière qui révèle les espaces et modèle les volumes. La lumière, élément indissociable de la conception architecturale, se présente sous divers aspects, elle est un besoin ou une contrainte, et sa maîtrise demande parfois des connaissances spécifiques. À l'occasion de la table ronde « Matière lumière. Qu'est-ce que la lumière dans l'architecture ? », architectes et concepteurs-lumière, sont associés à ce projet en choisissant un mot pour définir ce qu'est la lumière en architecture. En exclusivité pour les éditions Archibooks, ils offrent leur point de vue dans des textes personnels et inédits.

Summary:
Cinquante ans après la disparition de l'architecte Le Corbusier, qu'en est-il de la sauvegarde de son oeuvre? D'autant que la situation et donc la conservation de ses réalisations connaissent une mutation profonde : changement de propriétaire ou d'usage, parfois les deux. D'un autre côté, les contraintes environnementales ou réglementaires risquent d'affecter leur authenticité et leur intégrité. Au-delà du simple entretien, la réparation voire la restauration soulève la question du remplacement de nombreux éléments qui ne se trouvent plus : comment faire ? L'expérimentation systématique a entraîné de nombreux désordres : comment les reprendre aujourd'hui ? Comment traiter un béton corrodé ? Comment procéder à une consolidation structurelle ? Comment adapter aux nouvelles normes de sécurité et de confort ? Comment traiter les modifications suscitées par l'usage au fil du temps ? Voilà tout un registre de questions théoriques et pratiques qui se posent présentement, et plus généralement pour toute l'architecture du XXe siècle.

Summary:
Accompanying an exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh opening in November 2017, this book brings together more than 30 photographs by Talbot that demonstrate his wide-ranging interests, including nature, still-life, portraiture, architecture and landscape. Some of these images are previously unpublished. Through thematic groupings elucidated by noted Talbot scholar Larry Schaaf, the book reveals the photographer’s early striving to test the boundaries of his medium at a historic moment when art and science intersected. With its luminous reproductions of Talbot’s fragile works, this publication demonstrates that, in its earliest days, photography required a form of magic-making and innovation that continues to inspire people today.

Summary:
In the process of decommunisation, Ukraine has toppled all its Lenin monuments. The authors have hunted down and photographed these banned Soviet statues, revealing their inglorious fate. Photographer Niels Ackermann and journalist Sébastien Gobert, both based in Kyiv, have scoured the country in search of the remains of these toppled figures. They found them in the most unlikely of places: Lenin inhabits gardens, scrap yards and store rooms. He has fallen on hard times - cut into pieces; daubed with paint in the colors of the Ukrainian flag; transformed into a Cossack or Darth Vader - but despite these attempts to reduce their status, the statues retain a sinister quality, resisting all efforts to separate them from their history.
