Plus que New York, c’est elle la véritable capitale de la congestion. Monaco délire ! Ce guide d’architecture est donc aussi un guide d’urbanisme. Le patrimoine de la ville est, par ailleurs, menacé tant l’exiguïté de cette cité-Etat appelle un renouveau permanent. D’un pay-sage sans cesse changeant naît un goût immodéré pour la nouveauté et, en réaction, une nostalgie parfois couleur pasti-che. Les styles et les époques s’y retrouvent donc pêle-mêle dans une collection improbable et unique en son genre de con-structions de toutes tailles. Comprendre Monaco invite aussi à regarder deux communes voisines : Beausoleil, autrefois baptisée Monte-Carlo Supéri-eur, et Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Ce livre inédit a été imaginé comme une promenade architecturale conduisant sur les tra-ces de Charles Garnier, Louis Notari, Kevork Arsenian, Jean Ginsberg, Jean Badovici, Eileen Grey et Yvonne Le Corbusier, l’épouse monégasque du maître moderne.

Summary:
The first of its kind, the Shenzhen Architectural Guide is dedicated to the city’s architecture and conceived as an atlas. The pages inside are filled with more than 150 relevant buildings and places that constitute the physical palimpsest of modern China’s most famous foundational town. Founded in 1978 as one of the first Special Economic Zones under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms, Shenzhen is a young city that was essentially built from the ground up at a rapid pace – hence the infamous ‘Shenzhen Speed’. Unlike most places, it has built its fortune on being propelled into the future without any connection to the past. Shenzhen is a place where business, immigration, ports, borders, and nature come together to shape a unique and, at times, mystifying architectural experience. This guide will introduce the reader to Shenzhen’s kaleidoscopic architecture with the help of bilingual coordinates and geodata. It will also refer to the city's political history and cultural geography. By photographing these state-of-the-art works in 2020, the book captures a sort of 'here-and-now' that will soon be transformed once again.

Summary:
A city that has existed for over 2,000 years, Verona has a wealth of historic architecture, from ancient Roman masterworks such as the Arena to seventeenth-century neoclassical gems like the Gran Guardia Palace right through to inventive recent restorations and adaptations. Its Gothic and Romanesque edifices – frequently constructed in pink brick – are a particular highlight. The architectural remnants of this UNESCO-listed city are covered here in the first architectural guide to Verona, Lake Garda, and Valpolicella. The towns and villages around Lake Garda have long attracted tourists, and the selection in this volume reflects this. Villas and hotels loom large, including the eccentric villa complex constructed by the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio. Through his considered selection of buildings, historian and socio-urbanist Sergey Nikitin-Rimsky provides a sometimes-irreverent look at sights that range from the well-known to the more hidden.
