Au lendemain de la première guerre mondiale, la reconstruction des villes sinistrées et la pénurie de logement constituent deux priorités du nouveau gouvernement belge d'union nationale.

En 1919, la Belgique crée la Société Nationale des Logements à Bon Marché qui coordonne les initiatives de coopératives constituées en vue d'édifier des cités-jardins.

Summary:
The birthplace of the skycraper, Chicago is famous for an architectural tradition that has influenced building around the globe. It is the craddle of modern architecture. It gae rise to the urban office building and the flowing, open floor plans of today's homes. This book chronicles Chicago's architectural tradition from the nineteenth through the early twenty-fisrt century : from the structural simplicity of Chicago School commercial building to the low-slung Prairie School house, from the streamlined Art Deco skycraper to the minimalist Miesian tower of glass and steel, all the way through the strikingly original, diverse designs of the present day's so-called second modern period.

Summary:
Des premières lois des Soviets à sa libéralisation totale dans les années 1990, la datcha, maison de campagne du citadin russe, va vivre une histoire pleine de bruit et de fureur. Bourgeoise, ni urbaine, ni rurale, individuelle, oisive, la datcha cristallise les contradictions entre l'idéologie du régime et les aspirations du citoyen. Car c'est la société soviétique ordinaire, en perpétuelle situation d'expérimentation dans un contexte de pénurie chronique, que l'on observe ici tout au long du vingtième siècle. Où l'on voit comment la datcha se faufile dans les interstices du collectivisme totalitaire, concrétisant un espace de survie et de liberté pour les citoyens.

"100 Copenhagen typologies" presents 100 examples of re-use, adaptation and mixed-use architecture. In this book, Martin Marker and his students from The Royal Danish Academy - Architecture, Design, Conservation at the Institute of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape - BA Programme investigate Copenhagen as a Wunderkammer of architectural typologies. Leaving the focus on materiality and visual aesthetics aside, the book explores how programmatic complexities and existing structures can form foundations for future urbanism in a rapidly changing world with a growing population, climate changes, and limited resources. This book extends a welcoming invitation to explore and examine our urban structures, sparking a vital conversation that encourage a fresh perspective on our existing typologies, ensuring their continued relevance for the people who inhabit them.

Summary:
"Prishtina in 53 Buildings" draws a multifaceted portrait of Kosovo’s capital city by using architecture as a prism to understand political, cultural and economic processes. Essays on fifty-three built structures, written by different authors with different geographical background and different professional perspective, add up to multilayered account of the city’s history and present. "Prishtina in 53 Buildings" is more than a guide book for visitors or residents of the city. Buildings are not only the materialization of design principles or architectonic ideas, but the outcome of socio-economic processes. The built environment is constantly re-appropriated, re-interpreted and re-valuated as architects do not have the final say as to the meaning and the function of an edifice. By conceptualizing architecture as materialization of societal processes, "Prishtina in 53 Buildings" pushes beyond notions that assume an intrinsic and coherent "logic" of cities. The editors Donika Luzhnica and Jonas König show that a polyphonic approach is more apposite to depict the often-contradictory trajectories of urban development.

Summary:
"Ceci n'est pas un portrait" is a possible comprehensive depiction of the production of a new generation of Portuguese practices. The publication brings together a collection of more than 300 photographs by Francisco Ascensão illustrating about 70 projects made by young architecture offices in Portugal."Today, it is nearly impossible to distinguish architectural schools or styles. Regional schools are homogenized by a universal system of education and references, temporal periodization is absorbed by the ‘contemporary’. In the book there is no claim about a certain tendency. The absence of captions is programmatic. Rather than competing for clients and attention the images show a culture of generosity and mutual curiosity, a culture of openness and collectivity, immediacy and care, optimism and liveliness. A new beginning." - Philip Ursprung, 2024
