This book is key reading for all students of architecture and architectural theory. It addresses the vital role of the imagination in the critical interpretation of architectural representations. By challenging the contemporary tendency for computer-aided drawings to become mere models for imitation in the construction of buildings, the articles explore the broader range of methods and meanings at stake in the creation and interpretation of architectural drawings, models, images and artefacts.

Cet herbier est consacré aux plantes qui puisent la force de s’insinuer dans notre espace urbain, dans les joints des caniveaux et des trottoirs, dans les fissures des murs, au pied des arbres, dans les pelouses des parcs, le long des grillages, sur les toits… Ces plantes sauvages des villes peuvent aussi bien être arborescentes que rampantes, florales que graminées, et possèdent, tout autant que leurs cousines des bois, une histoire, un usage, une mythologie. Comme les précédents herbiers, ce livre d’images présente, pour chaque plante, la découpe de sa feuille, de son fruit et de sa graine.

Summary:
Sans que nous le sachions ou parce que nous l'avons oublié, nos maisons ou appartements sont construits sur des sols qui ne sont pas forcément sains et équilibrés. Pourquoi ? Tout simplement parce que la Terre et donc le sol sur lequel nous vivons forment un ensemble énergétique animé par le magnétisme terrestre qui véhicule aussi bien les mauvaises que les bonnes vibrations. D'autre part, toute la planète est enveloppée ale réseaux Hartmann omniprésents tous les 2m dans le sens nord-sud et tous les 2m5 (dans le sens est-ouest) et c'est à leur croisement que surgit en force l'énergie tellurique en provenance du centre de la Terre. Ce livre vous expliquera en quoi ces croisements sont toujours actifs où qu'ils soient, y compris dans votre chambre ou dans une autre pièce.

Médecins et chercheurs en psychopathologie, les auteurs entendent déconstruire l'idéologie médicale qui prescrit des conduites rationelles et standardisées au nom d'une description scientifique. Ils montrent comment ces processus de normalisation opèrent. A partir de leurs expériences cliniques, ils plaident pour le retour du "souci de soi" dans la médecine moderne

Summary:
Rooted in the British apprenticeship system, the French Beaux-Arts, and the German polytechnical schools, architecture education in North America has had a unique history spanning almost three hundred years. Although architects in the United States and Canada began to identify themselves as professionals by the late eighteenth century, it was not until nearly a century later that North American universities began to offer formal architectural training; the first program was established at MIT in 1865. Today most architects receive their training within an academic setting that draws on the humanities, fine arts, applied science, and public service for its philosophy and methodology. This book, published in conjunction with the centennial of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), provides the first comprehensive history of North American architecture education. Architecture School opens with six chronological essays, each devoted to a major period of development: before 1860; 1860--1920; 1920--1940; 1940--1968; 1968--1990; and 1990 to the present. This overview is followed by a "lexicon" containing shorter articles on more than two dozen topics that have figured centrally in archictecture education's history, from competitions and design pedagogy to research, structures, studio culture, and travel.

Summary:
The only Austrian winner of the Pritzker Prize (1985) and president of the architecture biennale in Venice, the Viennese architect Hans Hollein (born 1934) has been a leading exponent of postmodernism in architecture. Yet his global stature as an architect has overshadowed his design work of the 1970s and 1980s and his artistic work of the 1960s and 1970s, despite past exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. This richly illustrated, comprehensive catalogue, and the exhibition it accompanies at the Neue Galerie in Graz, is the first retrospective of Hollein as a truly universal artist and a renaissance man for the digital age. It is also the first to present Hollein's oeuvre as a whole: his work as artist, designer and architect, but also as theoretician, curator, teacher and collaborator with such artists as Christo and Claes Oldenburg.
