Summary:
L'édification de Sainte-Geneviève, dont Labrouste est chargé en 1838, caractérise le point de départ d'une longue série d'architectures, d'abord destinées aux livres et à la lecture. On veut expliquer ici comment l'expérience de Sainte-Geneviève, ancrée dans la tradition monastique et nourrie des réflexions recueillies sous la Restauration et au début de la Monarchie de juillet, s'est inscrite dans le contexte international du XIXe siècle tout entier ; comment elle a permis une impressionnante éclosion de réalisations, en Europe comme aux États-Unis. À Sainte-Geneviève, ce n'est pas seulement le principe de programme " bibliothéconomique " que l'architecte français a inventé, c'est encore le dessin d'une travée type : il devint par excellence le symbole architecturé de la bibliothèque.

Summary:
This is the first biography of Ernö Goldfinger (1902-1987), the leading modernist architect in Britain in the twentieth century. It is the fascinating story of a man and his struggle to build in a modern style in Britain in the face of contemporary opposition. Today, opposition to his buildings, particularly Trellick Tower, is turning to admiration. 2 Willow Road, his own house, was recently acquired by the National Trust - its first modern property. A century after his birth his buildings are achieving heritage status. This book tells the story of Goldfinger's life in architecture which raises profound questions about the role of architecture in British society and the political and moral values that buildings can embody. In writing this important new book, Nigel Warburton researched the extensive archive of Goldfinger's writing, office papers, models and drawings held in the RIBA Collection and also interviewed people who knew and worked with him.

Summary:
"Catalogue" is the quirky title of this, the first collection of the work of Project Orange, the highly successful and inovative design and architecture practice. Project Orange, having demonstrated a keen interest in design and cultural issues through their work, referencing here, with tongue-in-cheek and yet soberly, the previous 'catalogues' of IKEA, Sears, Habitat, and the like. Concerned, at the same time, with the relationship between ideas, interiors and buildings, Project Orange consider that progress and recent technological advances mean that the way people percieve their environments are always in flux. For them, architecture literally provides the containers for us to work and live within; but more than this, these containers create a framework of meaning for inhabitation and lifestyle. In "Catalogue" these and other of Project Orange's beliefs are made accessible to everybody with an interest in style, design and the built environment.
