Summary:
Rien ne prédisposait Varian Fry à l’héroïsme. Fils de bonne famille, éduqué à Harvard et envoyé en reportage à Berlin en 1935, le journaliste découvre le nazisme et les persécutions contre les juifs. Son destin est scellé. En 1940, avec le soutien de la Présidente Eleanor Roosevelt et le Musée d’art moderne de New York, il forme le Centre américain de secours, dont le but est de sauver deux cents artistes et intellectuels piégés dans la zone libre. Envoyé à Marseille en août 1940 mais expulsé en septembre 1941, il aura sauvé près de deux mille personnes. Pour héberger et occuper tout ce monde, en marge de la ville, Varian Fry loue une vieille bastide – la Villa Air-Bel – et c’est toute la brève aventure que relate cet ouvrage à deux voix. Hélas détruite en 1982, les auteurs s’emploient tant par le récit que par le dessin à une restitution y compris en nous en livrant les coulisses de cette recherche menée avec des étudiants en architecture.

Summary:
From the iconic modernism of Luis Barragán to the brightly colored postmodern forms of Ricardo Legoretta, this important historical document deals with the plurality of architectural styles and voices in Mexico during the 20th and early 21st centuries. Referencing French philosopher Michel Foucault’s idea of effective history in which knowledge does not encompass absolute truths delivered in traditional historical texts but rather fragments, shortening its vision to the things nearest it, Architecture in Mexico offers a new reading of the diverse interests at stake in historical Mexican architecture—its production and its subsequent reception. The volume pursues comprehension beyond built forms and closer to the ideas (and ideologies) that gave rise to them.

Réinterrogeant en profondeur à la fois l’architecture de la ville et le rôle de l’architecte dans la cité, elle essaime ses concepts précurseurs dans toute l’Europe et aux États-Unis, qui s’en approprient alors les réflexions et les débats théoriques. Fondateurs de nombreux courants architecturaux, dont certains perdurent, les textes des épigones de la Tendenza sont pour autant restés largement méconnus. Le présent ouvrage se compose d’un essai analytique et d’une sélection de textes, pour la plupart inédits en français.

Summary:
A critically acclaimed history of Chicago at mid-century, featuring many of the incredible personalities that shaped American culture Before air travel overtook trains, nearly every coast-to-coast journey included a stop in Chicago, and this flow of people and commodities made it the crucible for American culture and innovation. In luminous prose, Chicago native Thomas Dyja re-creates the story of the city in its postwar prime and explains its profound impact on modern America--from Chess Records to "Playboy," McDonald's to the University of Chicago. Populated with an incredible cast of characters, including Mahalia Jackson, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry, Sun Ra, Simone de Beauvoir, Nelson Algren, Gwendolyn Brooks, Studs Turkel, and Mayor Richard J. Daley, "The Third Coast" recalls the prominence of the Windy City in all its grandeur.

Summary:
In the years after 1933 several hundred architects were forced to emigrate from Germany by the National Socialist dictatorship. Between seventy and eighty of them went to Great Britain – in part, prominent representatives of Modernism like Walter Gropius, Erich Mendelsohn, Erwin Gutkind, Arthur Korn and Marcel Breuer, but also less well known architects who had adopted very divergent positions. A few emigrants very quickly and successfully managed to gain a foothold in an environment that was for the most part unfamiliar to them, while for others exile meant a serious break in their career. The book offers an overview of the topic and presents select buildings in detail. Moreover, hitherto largely unpublished documents from the estate of Walter Gropius provide a direct insight into his life and work in British exile.
