Summary:
L'Art déco apparaît dans le sillage de l'Art nouveau au cours des années 1920. Ce mouvement tire son origine des Arts décoratifs, mis sur le devant de la scène lors de l'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de Paris en 1925. En pleines Années folles, la création artistique est alors éclatante. Décorateurs, ensembliers, architectes, ferronniers, etc. , s'associent pour concevoir des pavillons aux intérieurs richement décorés. Trait d'union entre l'ornementation excessive de l'Art nouveau et la rigueur formelle de l'architecture moderne - qui apparaît peu avant -, l'Art déco impose une esthétique élégante, faisant la part belle aux motifs géométriques, sans toutefois délaisser les courbes, et mettant en valeur la pureté des lignes et la sophistication des détails. L'Art déco accompagne le développement de la modernité et de nouveaux équipements tels que gares, cinémas, piscines, musées, etc. , où s'expriment les idées de vitesse, de voyage, de dépaysement et de divertissement ; mais il se manifeste également dans des programmes plus traditionnels comme les édifices administratifs ou religieux, par exemple. Ce nouvel opus de la collection "Cinq" offre un panorama représentatif de ce mouvement polymorphe, à travers cinq réalisations remarquables : l'église Saint-Louis de Vincennes, la bibliothèque Carnegie de Reims, le palais de la Porte-Dorée, la gare de Lens et l'hôtel de ville de Puteaux.

Summary:
"Built futures" brings together Shahed Saleem’s written and visual research on the British Mosque, to narrate how mosques have emerged, evolved and become established in Britain since the late nineteenth century. Critical texts describe the ways in which mosques have been created through the grassroots, self-funded and self-built endeavours of migrant Muslim communities of diverse backgrounds, as they have settled in Britain. Through this journey of research, writing and designing, Saleem challenges the norms and assumptions of his own architectural training and wider design culture, leading him to ask: where is architectural meaning made, and with whom does authorship actually reside? Mostly created through the adaptation of existing buildings, from pubs to cinemas, high street banks to domestic terraces, the mosques which emerge from these sites are a combination of cultural histories and architectural styles, resulting in unexpected and original buildings that are powerful expressions of minority community agency and empowerment.

Summary:
L’architecture qui incarne l’Europe est inextricablement liée à des enjeux politiques mouvants et à la recherche d’une expression symbolique unitaire. Mais existe-t-il une esthétique propre aux formes bâties du pouvoir européen? En reconstruisant minutieusement la genèse des sièges européens de Strasbourg, Luxembourg et Bruxelles, Gauthier Bolle explore les liens entre architecture, ville et pouvoir au fil du second 20e siècle. Ce livre éclaire ainsi un pan du «projet européen» à travers l’analyse de l’accueil offert aux principales institutions, celles du Conseil de l’Europe puis de toutes les communautés fondatrices de l’Union européenne. Dans les villes étudiées, la fragilité de la construction européenne pèse sur le développement des quartiers, plus ou moins intégrés à leur environnement, qui prennent forme grâce à une diversité d’acteurs. Articulé en trois périodes, ce récit propose une lecture transversale des sites, mettant en évidence les rouages complexes de la conception, construction et réception de plusieurs édifices phares des trois villes. En creux de cette étude architecturale, c’est bien la quête du sens même de l’Europe qui est en question, un enjeu dont la portée est plus cruciale que jamais.

De projets de déménagement en perspectives d’extension, aucune solution satisfaisante ne sera trouvée avant le tournant historique de l’implantation de l’École d’architecture à Luminy, en 1967. En même temps que ceux de l’École des beaux-arts, ses bâtiments couleur craie prendront place dans le somptueux cadre naturel des calanques de Marseille. Conçus par l’architecte du campus René Egger dans un style à la fois moderne et méditerranéen, ils seront dès leur inauguration le lieu d’une véritable ébullition culturelle, artistique et estudiantine.

Summary:
This is the first publication on the Prague Werkbund Housing Estate "Baba", a symbol of architectural Modernism in the Czech Republic. Up until the fall of the Iron Curtain, the housing estate "Baba" in Prague was a little-known tip. This was the last building exhibition which the Werkbund set up in Europe in 1932 and symbolises an entire era, vividly depicting Modern Architecture in the Czech Republic, which has gained growing international recognition since 1989. Three generations of architects were active here; the older generation, still influenced by Cubism, include Janak and Gocar; the middle generation, whose works were purist and functionalist, include Linhart and Stary; and the younger generation, for example, Ladislav Zak, who with their sweeping forms wished to distance themselves from 'white functionalism'. With copious, unpublished source material, this book analyses for the first time the particular status which the Prague Housing Estate has in architectural history. It addresses architectural and sociopolitical topics, documents the individual projects and looks at the circumstances of the private clients.
