Summary:
The development of modern architecture in Korea and, more recently, South Korea, is closely tied to the country’s dramatic transformations since the late 19th century. The authors interrogate major periods from the Late Joseon Dynasty to the vibrant democratic present, showing how architecture, by making technological and stylistic leaps, has played a important role in the construction of the nation’s identity. The architectural analyses, ranging from Hwaseong Fortress to 21st-century constructions like Paju Book City, Ssamziegil Shopping Center, the Boutique Monaco skyscraper, and the Bauzium Sculpture Museum, focus on buildings in which the formation of a specifically Korean modernism is particularly observable. The appendix includes biographical descriptions of major architectural figures.

By connecting the dots between philosophy, design, geopolitics, and an earnest quest for a greener tomorrow, this book explains how Japanese culture can shed new light on our understanding of ecology, and vice-versa. Using a distinctive blend of academic research and personal experience, Joachim Nijs draws on architectural history to navigate Japan's complex and unique ecological ethic through the lens of four stereotypical phenomena: earthquakes, monsoon climates, nuclear erasure of life, and insularity.

Summary:
The subject of light and lighting is more relevant than ever, as evidenced by the UNESCO global celebration of 2015 as the International Year of Light. The exhibition Nightscape 2050 by Lighting Planners Associates (LPA) explores the interactions between people, light, and cities in the year 2050. For LPA the word “nightscape” does not only refer to the evening view, but also includes the individual: “nightscape = humans and cities at night.” The emergence of new light sources such as LEDs, OLEDs, and lasers as well as the evolution of lighting-control technology in the 21st century may dramatically change our living environment. At the same time, numerous natural disasters, manmade disasters, and environmental changes have forced a discussion on how to approach energy consumption including how to power lighting.

L'ouvrage s'emploie à faire partager au lecteur, par petites touches, sous forme de 199 courts textes, les notions-clefs de la culture japonaise de l'espace, de l'architecture, des jardins, du pavillon de thé, des temples, sanctuaires shintôs et palais, autant que des simples hameaux et maisons populaires, de la ville dense ou des quartiers animés, du mobilier jusqu'aux aménagements du territoire, des origines anciennes jusqu'aux développements les plus contemporains, de l'espace pictural aux avatars de l'urbanité.Chacune de ces notices invite à découvrir ou à comprendre mieux, à visiter sur le terrain les lieux et les monuments, les réalisations ou les dispositifs exemplaires, grâce notamment à une importante iconographie. Des indications savamment choisies « pour en savoir plus » permettent au lecteur de prolonger sa quête, et un ensemble d'index lui facilitent la consultation et conduisent sa recherche.
