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:
The long period in-between demolition or renovation of a building site and the arrival of a new building can often impose a sad and somewhat ugly sight on a neighbourhood, however it can also offer possibilities to give a new and dynamic impulse. Hotel Transvaal, which lies in the neighbourhood of Transvaal, in The Hague, Netherlands, is such a source of inspiration. More than half of the social housing in this neighbourhood was demolished, however many of the finest rooms could be temporarily booked up until the moment of demolition. The interiors of the ‘hotel’ rooms were designed by artists and shop-owners from the neighbourhood. This book explores the development and realisation of the project.

Aussi inscrites dans la pierre, mais bien moins solennelles, présentes sur presque toutes les façades: les signatures des architectes. Pour l'étude de ces inscriptions, nous avons inventé le mot «immographie». Les 250 immographies présentées ici, sont datées de 1893 à 2000. Nous les avons choisies en fonction de leur rapport avec l'évolution de l'art de l'écriture et de leur intégration au style des façades qu'elles ornent. pour le meilleur et parfois pour le moins bon. Une façon originale de promener son regard sur un siècle d'architecture à Bruxelles. À la fin de l'ouvrage se trouve un plan situant chaque immographie, des cartes détaillées par quartier et des suggestions 1e promenades pour les Gens de lettres.

Described as “a continuous carnival” and “the crossroads of the world,” Times Square is a singular phenomenon: the spot where imagination and veracity intersect. To Marshall Berman, it is also the flashing, teeming, and strangely beautiful nexus of his life. In this remarkable book, Berman takes us on a thrilling illustrated tour of Times Square, revealing a landscape both mythic and real. Interleafing his own recollections with social commentary, he reveals how movies, graphic arts, literature, popular music, television, and, of course, the Broadway theater have reflected Times Square’s voluminous light to illuminate a vast spectrum of themes and vignettes. Berman shows how the square’s distinctive aura finds its source in a stunningly diverse list of performers, writers, and impresarios. He also celebrates the unsung heroes—the artists, engineers, and hucksters behind the square’s landmark signs.
