Summary:
Avec les Sumériens et les Assyriens, la Mésopotamie porta au plus haut raffinement l'art de la construction et du décor en brique. Cette technique, transmise par les Abbassides, s'est perpétuée sans interruption jusqu'à l'Irak du XXe siècle. Entre 1920 et 1950, cette tradition s'est croisée avec de multiples apports dans la foulée des Arts déco et autres " néostyles "(...)

Entre 1920 et 1950, cette tradition s'est croisée avec de multiples apports dans la foulée des Arts déco et autres " néostyles " venus d'Europe. A sa façon, Badgad offre encore un paysage moderne cohérent, relativement préservé des destructions qui ont frappé tant de grandes villes dans les années Soixante-dix ou Quatre-vingts. L'habitat du XXe siècle y constitue un cadre urbain qui fut splendide et pourrait le redevenir. Ce livre présente un ensemble unique et inédit de documents anciens et de photographies récentes, hommage à un patrimoine captivant et méconnu.

Sur ces routes, traversant steppes, montagnes et déserts, des caravanes de chameaux et de yacks cheminèrent durant des siècles bijoux, porcelaine, thé et épices jusqu'aux fabuleux bazars d'Asie centrale comme ceux de Kachgar, de Boukhara et de Samarkand. C'est aussi une plongée dans l'histoire et les cultures, à travers les religions, les modes de vie, les évolutions des pays d'Asie Centrale, sur les traces des grands explorateurs, aventuriers mandatés par des souverains lointains ou des scientifiques et archéologues passionnés. C'est, enfin et surtout, une rencontre avec les populations d'Asie Centrale, bergers tadjiks, nomades Mongols, Kazakhs, Kirghizes, qui vivent sous la yourte avec leurs troupeaux de yacks, de chèvres et de moutons, dans un cadre majestueux : montagnes enneigées de l'Altaï, du Pamir et du Karakorum, steppes immenses et déserts gigantesques.

This is particularly true of the exuberant social and cultural shift that India is undergoing. A multi-disciplinary approach is crucial in order to unravel the scope of the phenomenon and its manifestations. The title features Sunil Khilnan's meditation on what constitutes the idea of modern India, Prem Chandavarkar's exciting account of the emergence of a new generation of architects in Bangalore and Ravi Sundarum's description of the visceral city. It also includes project sections that portray the divergent and innovative face of Indian architecture from Bombay to Bangalore, which include sophisticated urban schemes alongside handmade self-built buildings in rural areas.

Summary:
Through a series of essays by urban historians and designers, Two Squares examines the changing role of public space in the cities of Beirut and Istanbul as they undergo major urban redevelopment. The study of Beirut looks at the redesign of Martyrs' Square, the city's primary public space, in the aftermath of the civil war and the ongoing reconstruction efforts to rebuild the center. In Istanbul, the focus is on Sirkeci Square, one of the main intermodal hubs in the historic peninsula, as it readies itself to host a new station for the first under-Bosphorus train tunnel. The two urban transformations are taken as opportunities to examine the nature of public space in the 21st-century city, the history and evolution of public life in Beirut and Istanbul, and the possibilities of using these vital transportation nodes as opportunities for new landscape, urban, and architectural design strategies. The book also includes a series of hypothetical design projects for these two squares.

Summary:
Le sens de l'espace au japon, c'est le déploiement du monde japonais, de la terre d'un certain archipel à la manière dont le moi s'y définit dans son rapport avec les choses et avec autrui. C'est l'organisation des parcours dans un jardin-promenade, l'agencement des pièces dans l'ancien palais du shôgun à Edo, mais aussi certains principes managériaux des grandes entreprises, l'apparente absence du sujet dans certains poèmes, les repères situationnels de la morale ordinaire, et jusqu'à la remise en cause au XXe siècle, par la " logique du lieu " nishidienne, du principe d'identité qui fonda l'inférence rationnelle chez Aristote. En effet, chaque société crée son espace dans un sens qui lui est propre, et qu'analogiquement elle déploie dans tous les domaines de son existence ; mais en outre, la spatialité japonaise a ceci de particulier qu'elle a construit un paradigme existentiel : un paradigme de la vie même, à l'opposé du mécanicisme de la modernité occidentale. On en tire ici les leçons pour une architecture naturelle, en prise concrète avec les sens de notre corps dans le paysage.
