Summary:
Au XVIIIe siècle, les Alpes ont donné lieu à une nouvelle forme de contemplation de la nature qui s’est cristallisée autour de la notion de sublime. Oscillant entre effroi et fascination, cet état émotionnel suscite une expérience limite avidement recherchée : pleins d’attentes et de désirs, les voyageurs se sont aventurés dans les montagnes pour projeter des rêves très différents sur cette « nature sauvage », encore inexplorée. Comment le sublime a-t-il influencé l’architecture construite dans les Alpes, des débuts du tourisme jusqu’à nos jours ? Guidée par cette question centrale, l’auteur analyse l’architecture alpine dans son évolution historique et propose également une approche critique du tourisme actuel. Un livre qui nous invite à réfléchir sur l’avenir de la construction dans les Alpes, mais aussi sur notre rapport à la nature.

Preservation is ordinarily reserved for architecture that is unique. So how would we go about preserving buildings that are utterly generic? Such is the case with Belyayevo, an ordinary residential district in Moscow.

Summary:
Preservation is ordinarily reserved for architecture that is unique. So how would we go about preserving buildings that are utterly generic? Such is the case with Belyayevo, an ordinary residential district in Moscow. Belyayevo is a typical microrayon – the standardised neighbourhood system that successive Soviet regimes laid out across the USSR in what was the most expansive programme of industrialised construction the world has ever seen. Belyayevo’s buildings, and the desolate spaces between them, are identical to thousands of others, but is it different? Kuba Snopek argues that it is. Home to many of the artists of the Moscow Conceptualism school, the place was written into the character of their art. Snopek argues that this intangible heritage is the key to saving a neighbourhood many feel has had its day. But as Russia comes to terms with ist Soviet legacy, will such arguments fall on deaf ears?

The book presents the studio’s case studies of the country and processes of urbanization. Rooted in laba’s latest research, it explores architectural forms of life and housing: whom we live with or open our home to and how permeable that boundary should be. The findings are presented in more than two hundred graphics, drawings, plans, and photographs. The book also features proposals for architectural interventions by laba’s students, all of them tackling issues of housing.

In the eighteenth century the Alps became the subject of a new view of nature, which crystallized in the sublime. Oscillating between fear and fascination, this sensual experience triggered a thrilling borderline experience: travelers ventured to the mountain world full of longing and projected a variety of different dreams onto the "wild nature" that had yet to be explored. To what extent has the sublime influenced architecture in the Alps, from the early days of tourism to the present? Prompted by this question, the author analyzes Alpine architecture in its historical context and offers a critical assessment of contemporary tourism. This is a book that inspires us to reflect on the future of building in the Alps and on our relationship with nature.
