Summary:
Montpellier est passée du statut de capitale régionale à celui de technopole jusqu'à s'afficher peu à peu métropole. Concernant les questions d'urbanisme et d'aménagement, cette ville singulière constitue ainsi un riche terrain d'étude pour les chercheurs qui, ici, s'attachent à analyser stratégies et projets urbains. Intégrant le regard de trois disciplines - architecture, géographie, science politique - ils appréhendent des dimensions complémentaires qui permettent de mieux lire la ville : ses formes urbaines, l'aménagement de ses espaces et ses modes de gouvernance. De Polygone à Odysseum en passant par Montpellier-Grand-Coeur, le tramway, les opérations de résidentialisation, les politiques culturelles ou le Schéma de cohérence territoriale, l'ouvrage s'articule autour des grands projets et dévoile les problématiques d'un territoire en mouvement, au coeur de la question métropolitaine, partant d'un " territoire projeté " pour affirmer un " style de ville ". Ce livre est le cinquième d'une série d'ouvrages spécifiques à chacune des villes ayant participé au programme Popsu (Plate-forme d'observation des projets et stratégies urbaines).

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.

This is the first major book to study English architecture between 1945 and 1975 in its entirety. Challenging previous scholarship on the subject and uncovering vast amounts of new material at the boundaries between architectural and social history, Elain Harwood structures the book around building types to reveal why the architecture takes the form it does. Buildings of all budgets and styles are examined, from major universities to the modest café. The book is illustrated with stunning new photography that reveals the logic, aspirations, and beauty of hundreds of buildings throughout England, at the point where many are disappearing or are being mutilated.
