Summary:
Quelle place réserver aujourd'hui à la subjectivité dans la création architecturale? C'est la question que pose dans cet ouvrage Jean-Philippe Pargade qui revendique avec force le droit, pour l'architecte, d'exprimer sa singularité. A ses yeux, la pensée d'une architecture d'auteur s'imprègne d'abord de subjectivité, pour intégrer rationalité, rigueur et observations des usages. Elle échappe ainsi à la normalisation dévorante du monde contemporain. A travers son expérience d'architecte, en laissant percer ses influences venues de la musique improvisée et de l'art, l'auteur milite ici pour reconquérir une nouvelle dimension personnelle du projet, nourrie de la confrontation des idées au sein d'une équipe attentive et de la vision du maître d'ouvrage.

Summary:
This publication presents a critical history of architectural theory over the last forty years. Mallgrave employs the words theory and architecture in a broad sense - the latter encompassing aspects of urban planning, structural, and landscape design, while theory too is often indistinguishable from practice. The text surveys the intellectual history of architecture since 1968, including criticisms of high modernism, the rise of postmodern and poststructural theory, critical regionalism and tectonics, and the significant changes that architectural thinking has undergone in the past fifteen years, concluding with an analysis of where architecture stands and where it will likely move in the coming years.

Summary:
Since the end of World War II, Jewish architects have risen to unprecedented international prominence. Whether as modernists, postmodernists, or deconstructivists, architects such as Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Louis I. Kahn, Daniel Libeskind, Richard Meier, Moshe Safdie, Robert A.M. Stern, and Stanley Tigerman have made pivotal contributions to postwar architecture. They have also decisively shaped Jewish architectural history, as many of their designs are influenced by Jewish themes, ideas, and imagery. Building After Auschwitz is the first major study to examine the origins of this new Jewish architecture. Historian Gavriel D. Rosenfeld describes this cultural development as the result of important shifts in Jewish memory and identity since the Holocaust, and cites the rise of postmodernism, multiculturalism, and Holocaust consciousness as a catalyst. In showing how Jewish architects responded to the Nazi genocide in their work, Rosenfeld's study sheds new light on the evolution of Holocaust memory.

Summary:
Chicago architect and iconoclast Stanley Tigerman has been called a "design maven who can spit venom like a snake." Though he is at times sharply critical, his ability to cut to the core of architectural discourse has opened this insular world to a broader audience. His words and theories are appealing for their candor and are backed by his long-standing architectural practice. This collection of essays, most previously unpublished, spans the course of Tigerman's career. Included are writings on the history of Chicago architecture, architectural theory, and commentary on contemporaries. Tigerman's engaging words, at times humorous and humble, at times biting and cantankerous, will captivate students and scholars as well as the general reader.

Summary:
Dès sa parution en 1849, "Les Sept lampes de l'architecture" de John Ruskin a fait événement à la fois par ses illustrations et par ses thèses. Les premières sont reproduites ici telles que Ruskin les fit graver d'après ses propres dessins et les secondes sont de nouveau accessibles dans une traduction entièrement nouvelle et complète qui montre l'ampleur du projet animant un jeune homme à l'époque davantage connu pour ses analyses picturales et sa défense du peintre Turner. Pour Ruskin, l'architecture est avant tout d'ordre sensible, elle s'adresse à l'homme auquel elle a chargé de donner un lieu au-delà du simple abri. Elle est donc symbolique, elle est matérielle et elle est historique, se déployant à travers tous les « domaines de l'homme » pour conduire :celui-ci à la pleine réalisation de ses potentialités créatrices et politiques.
