Despite its deceptive title, the fact that this book is a guide about Iowa is accurate. Daniel Naegele qualifies “good” being not absolute but contingent and personal, and therefore a very questionable qualifier.

Summary:
Despite its deceptive title, the fact that this book is a guide about Iowa is accurate. Daniel Naegele qualifies “good” being not absolute but contingent and personal, and therefore a very questionable qualifier. By “architecture”, however, Naegele means “good building”, regardless of whether or not the built object was designed by an architect, is a habitable structure, or is even a building at all. Most entries in this guide are concerned either with vernacular works that are habitable tools (barns, corncribs, silos) or with built works that are not buildings at all (billboards, bridges, wind turbines, water towers). Mildly contentious by nature, Naegele’s guide is nevertheless utterly practical.

Apparu dans les années 1950, le brutalisme s'inspire notamment des réalisations de Le Corbusier, en particulier de la Cité radieuse de Marseille. 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(...)

Summary:
Apparu dans les années 1950, le brutalisme s'inspire notamment des réalisations de Le Corbusier, en particulier de la Cité radieuse de Marseille. 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.
