Aux composantes clés de l'architecture mexicaine - le patio, l'escalier et une utilisation débridée de la couleur -, architectes et designers ajoutent aujourd'hui leur fascination pour la matière - adobe, acier rouillé, pierres volcaniques - et pour les formes monumentales.

Summary:
"Les chefs-d'œuvre de l'architecture traditionnelle de l'Inde" donnent un riche aperçu sur l'héritage et l'architecture indiens en promenant le lecteur à travers les siècles. Réservé initialement aux chercheurs, cet ouvrage présente une myriade d'informations sur les formes, écoles et styles d'architecture et aborde les différents aspects de l'esthétique indienne, de l'ingénierie des constructions, de l'histoire et des idées philosophiques afin de redonner à l'architecture indienne sa grandeur et sa majesté. "Les chefs-d'œuvre de l'architecture traditionnelle de l'Inde" est un ouvrage complet qui illustre l'évolution des formes architecturales et leur usage au cours des siècles.

Des merveilles d'architecture ont ainsi été réalisées : des minars d'une hauteur imposante de l'architecture islamique à l'exquise architecture rocheuse des bouddhistes, de l'éblouissant temple de Dilwara au glorieux temple du Soleil. Source prodigieuse d'informations, ce livre est en outre brillamment illustré.

Summary:
Everyday Technology is a pioneering account of how small machines and consumer goods that originated in Europe and North America became objects of everyday use in India in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rather than investigate “big” technologies such as railways and irrigation projects, Arnold examines the assimilation and appropriation of bicycles, rice mills, sewing machines, and typewriters in India, and follows their impact on the ways in which people worked and traveled, the clothes they wore, and the kind of food they ate.

Summary:
Ecologies of Urbanism in India explores how rapidly proliferating and resource-intensive urbanism affects everyday lived environments and the ecological processes that undergird them in Indian cities. Case studies on nature conservation in the city, urban housing and slum development, waste management, the history and practice of urban planning, and contestations over the quality of air, water, and sanitation in the major cities of Delhi and Mumbai, illuminate the urban ecology perspective at different points across the twentieth century. The book therefore examines how struggles over the environment and quality of life in urban centers are increasingly framed in terms of their future place in a landscape of global sustainability, and the future relationship between cities and their changing hinterlands.

Summary:
Part of the Architectural Papers series, The Middle East explores the architecture of a nearly paradoxical region. Both the cradle of culture, where much remains of thousands of years of human society, the Middle East is also an area of great flux in contemporary history. This volume explores this dichotomy in three sections. The first, “Beyond the View,” investigates notions of the Middle Eastern architecture through a comparative study of different parts of the Arab world. “Case Studies” focuses on three exceptionally different cities—Beirut, Amman, and Doha—through an investigation of recent and future building projects. The final chapter, “Limits” looks at the architectural practices of countries that constitute the geographic, cultural, and political limits of the region: Israel, Turkey, and Iran.
