The AIA Guide to New York City, Fourth Edition New York Chapter, American Institute of Architects Norval White and Elliot Willensky Architecture | Times Books | Trade Paperback | June 2000 | $35.00 | 0-8129-3107-6 Since the "AIA Guide to New York City" was first published in 1967, it has been recognized as the ultimate guide to the metropolis's buildings, in all five boroughs -- Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island -- from nineteenth-century brownstones and tenements to modern high-rise apartments and museums. The latest edition of this urban classic takes a fresh look at the architectural treasures that define New York -- from its most characteristic landmarks to its less famous local favorites. To prepare this edition -- the first revision since 1987 -- Norval White has visited and revisited more than 5,000 buildings, making this by far the most complete guide of its kind. This generously illustrated handbook presents the structures of the New York City--from the magnificent to the obscure -- in over 3,000 new photographs, more than 130 new maps, and hundreds of revised and new entries. Beyond the skyscrapers and historical buildings, the guide also leads the way to the city's bridges, parks, and public monuments. From the tip of the Empire State Building to the brownstones in Brooklyn, the AIA Guide to New York City reveals how the city's spirit, fortitude, and character are captured and expressed in its architecture. Thoughtful and humorous descriptions include bits of local information that bring the city's history to life, telling the stories behind the bricks and mortar. Together, the maps, photographs, and critiques invite you to tour of the city at your own pace.

Summary:
Architect Harry Seidler has spent more than 50 years traveling the globe, extensively photographing the peak achievements in architecture from 3000 B.C. to the present day. Thanks to sound advice given to him early on by his photographer brother, Marcell (“Only use Leica cameras and Kodachrome film, which is archival”), Seidler’s hobby quickly developed into a passion and, finally, an impressive archive of world architecture. Including, of course, many of the world’s most famous architectural structures, Seidler’s photographs illustrate the history and style—country by country—of architecture in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Divided into chapters by country, each with a brief introduction outlining its architectural history, Grand Tour offers armchair travelers, students, architecture buffs, and historians the opportunity to browse the buildings of the world through one man’s photographs—the fruits of a passionate, half-century endeavor.

L'intitulé même du style désigne une de ses caractéristiques les plus voyantes : l'utilisation du béton « brut de décoffrage », sans ornements ni fioritures. Mais d'autres matériaux, comme le métal, la pierre ou le verre, ont pu être intégrés à des constructions se réclamant du même mouvement. Prospérant à Paris et dans sa périphérie jusqu'à la fin des années 1970, le brutalisme architectural suscite un regain d'intérêt aujourd'hui. En voici 100 exemples majeurs- immeubles de logements, bâtiments publics, équipements sportifs... - offrant le contrepoint de leurs silhouettes massives et anguleuses dans le paysage urbain.

Pondicherry is a seaside town where the French influence can still be seen in its architecture, street names, and local language. Yet Tamil architectural styles can also be found there. This guidebook includes four Auroville itineraries structured around the experimental township’s master plan, which is divided into four zones. A fifth itinerary is located in Auromodele, which is outside the main part of the city. Likewise, three Pondicherry itineraries correspond with the city’s three main geographical zones: French Quarter, Tamil Quarter, and suburban areas.

Composé de quinze voyages à travers la ville, "Revoir Paris" entremêle la marche et l'écriture, chaque journée de marche entraînant son écriture et celle-ci entraînant la marche suivante. Alternant descriptions architecturales détaillées et remarques plus subjectives – notamment politiques –, Claude Eveno remet sa vie dans le contexte de la ville qu'il habite, mêlant habilement complexité et proximité. Les nombreuses références picturales, cinématographiques, littéraires ou encore musicales, qui font l'objet d'un index, ancrent le récit dans une réalité toute personnelle et guident le lecteur, sans aucune prétention, à travers Paris. L'humour qui imprègne le texte, en plus d'atténuer l'intensité du changement, de la disparition, de la destruction, inhérents à l'évolution de toute grande ville aujourd'hui, crée une complicité avec le lecteur. De cette façon, Revoir Paris peut être aussi considéré comme un guide de la ville. Celui-ci traduit les sensibilités de son auteur et il donne à celui qui le lit l'envie de déambuler dans les rues de Paris. Ainsi, de la place Vendôme aux Halles, du funiculaire de Montmartre à la place des Abbesses, l'auteur dresse, à travers ce livre, le portrait d'une ville et d'une époque, le portrait d'une espèce d'atmosphère qui fut non seulement celle de la vie de Claude Eveno à Paris mais celle de sa génération dans une ville qui leur a offert la révolte, l'art subversif et l'action politique, l'enthousiasme et la perte des illusions.
