L’architecture pouvait-elle rester indifférente au choc qui affectait son objet même ? L’hypothèse cathartique avancée dans cet ouvrage fait apparaître, au contraire, comment la catastrophe aura été gérée par l’expression figurée, réduite, maîtrisable de la tragédie. Depuis la guerre froide jusqu’à l’attentat du 11 septembre, depuis le brutalisme jusqu’au déconstructivisme, s’ébauche ainsi la contre-histoire d’une architecture traumatisante à force d’être traumatisée, et jouant par là un rôle essentiel dans la société de notre temps.

It was an era of inspiring encounters between aristocrats, the avantgarde, snobs, and intellectuals that ended when Italy entered World War II. Antonio Foscari recounts this lively period in the building’s history and talks about its then owner, Bertie Landsberg, and his friends Catherine de Rochegude, Baroness of Erlanger, and Paul Rodocanachi, who not only lovingly renovated the villa, but made it such a lively place for the first time. The text is complemented by numerous photographs dating from this exciting time that convey an impression of what was happening in the villa in those days.

Summary:
Further extending Jonathan Hill's investigation of authorship, this book recognizes the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user. Although acknowledging the influence of the client, contractor and engineer, the relations between the designer, user and weather are the focus of this book. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture's relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather's effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, leading to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change.

Summary:
Providing a concise and accessible introduction to the work of the celebrated twentieth century German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer, this book focuses on the aspects of Gadamer’s philosophy that have been the most influential among architects, educators in architecture, and architectural theorists. Gadamer’s philosophy of art gives a special place to the activity of "play" as it occurs in artistic creation. His reflections on meaning and symbolism in art draw upon his teacher, Martin Heidegger, while moving Heidegger’s thought in new directions. His theory of interpretation, or "philosophical hermeneutics," offers profound ways to understand the influence of the past upon the present and to appropriate cultural history in ever new forms. For architects, architectural theorists, architectural historians, and students in these fields, Gadamer’s thought opens a world of possibilities for understanding how building today can be rich with human meaning, relating to architecture’s history in ways that do not merely repeat nor repudiate that history. In addition, Gadamer’s sensitivity to the importance of practical thinking – to the way that theory arises out of practice – gives his thought a remarkable usefulness in the everyday work of professional life.
