Summary:
Consacré à l’actualité des chantiers, ce semestriel 2 comprend également un dossier portant sur le patrimoine de la Défense. L’achèvement récent, parfois spectaculaire, de plusieurs opérations, menées dans le cadre d’un accord entre les ministères de la Défense et de la Culture, a permis de regrouper plusieurs articles sur les campagnes de travaux conduites aux Invalides ou à l’hôtel de la Marine, à Paris, mais également sur d’autres édifices moins connus en métropole et dans les départements d’Outre-Mer. La deuxième partie de la revue témoigne de la diversité des chantiers réalisés : restauration de polychromies à l’ancienne cathédrale de Toul ou de décors peints et de vitraux dans les cathédrales de Chartres et d’Amiens, jusqu’aux travaux de réhabilitation du bâtiment de l’Unesco à Paris… Pour la partie technique et scientifique, le quatrième et dernier volet du dossier « Métal dans l’architecture » est consacré à la question de la statuaire.

Summary:
With artful wit and rigor, cartographer Denis Wood has written numerous books (including the influential bestseller The Power of Maps) that reorient his readers not only to our neighborhoods, homes and bodies, but also to our own very human instinct to understand where we live by mapmaking. At the heart of Wood's investigations is a near-legendary endeavor: the Boylan Heights maps, begun in 1982, and now published in Everything Sings. Surveying his century-old, half-square mile neighborhood Boylan Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina, Wood began by paring away the inessential "map crap" (scale, orientation, street grids) and, in searching for the revelatory in the unmapped and the unmappable, he ended up plotting such phenomena as radio waves permeating the air, the light cast by street lights and Halloween pumpkins on porches. Wood's maps accumulate into a multi-layered story about one neighborhood that tells the larger story of what constitutes the places we call home. With an introduction by Ira Glass.

In Opera Città, Tod Papageorge pays homage to Rome and the act of flanerie. He strolled though the city, at first without any aim, and then almost systematically, through various neighborhoods, parks, train stations, suburban avenues and the city center.

Summary:
Global climate change calls for swift, decisive measures, particularly from the world's metropolises. But how can cities ensure that urgently needed strategies are enacted, forging a path to a post-fossil fuel, post-atomic energy era? Using one district in Hamburg, Germany, as an example, Energy Atlas investigates how it might provide a model for future sustainability.
