Des expériences de Bron-Parilly puis de La Duchère naissent l'essentiel des architectes, dont les œuvres constituent l'apport spécifique de l'architecture lyonnaise au Mouvement moderne international : René Gagès, François-Régis Cottin, Franck Grimal, Pierre Tourret, Pierre Genton, Jean Zumbrunnen, Michel Marin. Se référant explicitement à ce mouvement, refusant tout localisme mais apportant une spécificité liée au génie de ces lieux, leur production architecturale eut, de 1945 à 1968, un impact bien au-delà de ses frontières, de Berlin à Alger.

Summary:
Biblical in origin, the Sukkah is a fascinating 1,500-year-old Jewish ritual of construction and habitation. Erected for only one week in the fall, its premise is paradoxical, as it encompasses issues of both diaspora and belonging.

Biblical in origin, the Sukkah is a fascinating 1,500-year-old Jewish ritual of construction and habitation. Erected for only one week in the fall, its premise is paradoxical, as it encompasses issues of both diaspora and belonging. The construction guidelines are as follows: a Sukkah must have at least two-and-a-half walls and a thatched roof through which the stars are visible. Here, Mimi Levy Lipis' photographs record examples of contemporary Sukkah architecture from Europe, Israel and the U.S. These include a Sukkah on a truck parked in front of a restaurant in Manhattan; Sukkot on lonely parking lots in London; a Sukkah built for eternity in Berlin; criss-cross stacked booths in Jerusalem; and Sukkot made of the same fabric in London and Tel Aviv.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage dévoile pour la première fois l’extraordinaire production des années 50, qui avec de 2 500 immeubles de logements construits à Paris en 10 ans, ont largement contribué à moderniser et dessiner le Paris d’aujourd’hui. Au fil des pages, le lecteur est invité à découvrir l’immeuble des années 50 à travers quarante-quatre notions illustrées par de nombreux documents originaux, et développées sous la forme d’un abécédaire – une méthode qui permet d’examiner les principales caractéristiques de l’immeuble, tout en faisant ressortir les conditions de sa production et en valorisant ces acteurs, architectes ou maîtres d’ouvrage. Un repérage de 300 bâtiments remarquables pour leur qualité architecturale ou leurs spécificités complètent ce corpus. Ce livre s’appuie sur de nombreuses recherches documentaires et en particulier sur un relevé systématique des permis de construire, ainsi que de nombreuses enquêtes de terrain indispensables pour cette décennie meconnue et à certains égards peu documentée. « Paris 1950 : un âge d’or de l’immeuble» revient ainsi sur ces architectures inventives conçues par des maitres d’ouvrage et des architectes qui n’ont cessé d’explorer et mettre en pratique les préceptes de l’immeuble contemporain.

Summary:
This illustrated publication reaches back five centuries to document the evolution and ingenuity of house design in the British Isles. The architecture of Britain’s houses displays a dizzying variety of styles and details. Brimming with 600 full-color photographs, this book annotates hundreds of examples from every conceivable angle : from gables and pediments to chimneys and roofs; from bow windows and casements to fanlights and door furniture. Armed with a career’s worth of experience and research, Philippa Lewis takes readers up and down the country to feature examples of typically British building, including cottages, manor houses, castles, bungalows, and flats. She also looks at houses built from a wide variety of materials, including stone, glass, wood, brick, and even corrugated iron, in different settings such as rural, suburban, seaside, and urban. Lively texts help identify specific details and place them in their historical context, as well as offering compelling examples of how innovative conversions of structures such as watermills, gatehouses, and churches reflect and sustain their environment.
