Summary:
From the avant-garde design of the Islamic Cultural Center in New York City to the simplicity of the Dar al-Islam Mosque in Abiquiu, New Mexico, the American mosque takes many forms of visual and architectural expression. The absence of a single, authoritative model and the plurality of design nuances reflect the heterogeneity of the American Muslim community itself, which embodies a whole spectrum of ethnic origins, traditions, and religious practices. In this book, Akel Ismail Kahera explores the history and theory of Muslim religious aesthetics in the United States since 1950. Using a notion of deconstruction based on the concepts of "jamal" (beauty), "subject," and "object" found in the writings of Ibn Arabi (d. 1240), he interprets the forms and meanings of several American mosques from across the country. His analysis contributes to three debates within the formulation of a Muslim aesthetics in North America—first, over the meaning, purpose, and function of visual religious expression; second, over the spatial and visual affinities between American and non-American mosques, including the Prophet's mosque at Madinah, Arabia; and third, over the relevance of culture, place, and identity to the making of contemporary religious expression in North America. Akel Ismail Kahera is Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.

In 1988, photographer Sandy Sorlien set out on a series of journeys to document the rich architectural heritage that America is losing to the cheap and banal design aesthetic of tract housing, strip malls, and big-box stores. Her eight-year odyssey took her over ninety thousand miles of back roads to every state in the Union in search of homes that reflect and define the(...)

Summary:
In 1988, photographer Sandy Sorlien set out on a series of journeys to document the rich architectural heritage that America is losing to the cheap and banal design aesthetic of tract housing, strip malls, and big-box stores. Her eight-year odyssey took her over ninety thousand miles of back roads to every state in the Union in search of homes that reflect and define the region in which they stand. After making over a thousand "house portraits," Sorlien has chosen one representative image from each state and collected them in Fifty Houses. Shot with black-and-white infrared film, the homes captured through Sorlien's lens range from the grand to the humble, from the historic to the commonplace. Included here are a classic saltbox in Newtown, Connecticut; the House on the Rocks in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay; a mobile home in Bushnell, Florida; a Stick-style folk Victorian in Biloxi, Mississippi; a limestone cottage in Fredericksburg, Texas; a false-front house in Rollins, Montana; a log cabin in Dubois, Wyoming; an adobe dwelling in Sante Fe, New Mexico; and a platform tent in Healy, Alaska. Each image is accompanied by a vignette from Sorlien's road journal, offering details of the house depicted, its owners and history, other houses in the region, or her travel experiences in the state.

In this study, Tracy Ehrlich analyses the Villa Mondragone, built by Pope Paul V Borghese in an effort to demonstrate how architecture, landscape and rituals of villeggiatura (villa life) were used to forge a new identity as a Roman noble house.

Summary:
"Architecture of the nineteenth century", issued in the "History of world Architecture" series, offers a complete survey of European architecture during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, examining in particular the influence of the cultural trends of the period on the architects’ works. The first section of the book deals with the history of eighteenth-century architecture in France and England, countries where Cartesian-school philosophical speculation and Anglo-Saxon philosophical empiricism wielded a determining influence. After analysing the developments of the classical tradition and its propagation throughout Europe, the book studies in depth the history of architectural movements, comprising neo-classicism, neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic architecture. The outstanding, forerunning personalities of this brilliant artistic period who, in the course of the nineteenth century, offered fecund theoretic and stylistic contributions, include Gottfried Semper, John Ruskin and Eugène Viollet-le Duc.

L'aventure architecturale et humaine que retrace Nicolas Michelin dans cet ouvrage, est l'histoire véridique du projet de transformation de la Halle aux Farines pour l'université de Paris VII, depuis le premier croquis jusqu'à la livraison du bâtiment aux utilisateurs. Il relate l'enchaînement des étapes, le jeu de rôles qui s'est mis en place dès le concours, la succession des obstacles franchis grâce à sa ténacité et au travail acharné de son équipe. Il explique comment, avec un budget restreint, il a glissé tel "un bateau dans une bouteille", un programme très dense - 13 amphithéâtres, 60 salles de cours, un resto U - dans cette halle industrielle pour en faire une véritable "machine à enseigner". Inhabituel par son ton sans concession et son caractère précis, ce récit révèle tous les aspects de la pratique d'un architecte, de la première intuition à la stratégie parfois guerrière qu'il lui faut développer pour mener à bien un projet architectural.

Summary:
Modern city-dwellers suffer their share of unpleasant experiences�traffic jams, noisy neighbors, pollution, food scares�but urban nuisances of the past existed on a different scale entirely, this book explains in vivid detail. Focusing on offenses to the eyes, ears, noses, taste buds, and skin of inhabitants of England�s pre-Industrial Revolution cities, Hubbub transports us to a world in which residents were scarred by smallpox, refuse rotted in the streets, pigs and dogs roamed free, and food hygiene consisted of little more than spit and polish. Through the stories of a large cast of characters from varied walks of life, the book compares what daily life was like in different cities across England from 1600 to 1770. Using a vast array of sources, from novels to records of urban administration to diaries, Emily Cockayne populates her book with anecdotes from the quirky lives of the famous and the obscure�all of whom confronted urban nuisances and physical ailments. Each chapter addresses an unpleasant aspect of city life (noise, violence, moldy food, smelly streets, poor air quality), and the volume is enhanced with a rich array of illustrations. Awakening both our senses and our imaginations, Cockayne creates a nuanced portrait of early modern English city life, unparalleled in breadth and unforgettable in detail.

Publié à Paris à partir de 1809, le recueil de plans et de vues des villas de la Renaissance et de l'âge baroque de Percier et Fontaine a été soigneusement élaboré à partir des dessins réalisés avant la Révolution, alors qu'ils étaient pensionnaires à l'Académie de France à Rome. Bien que ses auteurs avaient déjà connu le succès avec leurs précédents ouvrages consacrés aux palais et aux maisons de Rome (1798) et aux décorations intérieures (1802), c'est dans cette nouvelle publication qu'ils plaçaient le plus d'ambitions. Car cette suite de gravures exécutées avec le plus grand soin ne vise pas seulement à garder la mémoire de l'émerveillement éprouvé dans les jardins romains, voire de la douceur du séjour ultramontain. L'information qu'elle propose, sur des édifices de tout premier plan, est là pour soutenir la position des deux architectes dans les débats contemporains et pour étayer leur dispositif théorique. II s'agit d'abord de répondre, par de nouvelles références, au développement dans les campagnes de l'empire d'un nouveau type de demeure aristocratique, tout en offrant un antidote au goût alors en plein essor pour les jardins anglais. C'est un choix esthétique et un engagement. Cette leçon d'Italie, cette alliance de vues et de plans, est là pour démontrer que les grandes ordonnances ne s'opposent pas, bien au contraire, au pittoresque, ce qui revient à soutenir les prétentions des architectes dans le domaine de l'art des jardins, face aux succès des jardiniers et des paysagistes. Après un premier livre, qui abordait l'échelle des édifices, puis un second qui traitait de celle du détail, le troisième grand recueil de Percier et Fontaine se focalise sur les grandes compositions, qui étaient alors une des bases du savoir-faire de l'architecte et le fondement du concours du Prix de Rome. Le Choix des plus célèbres maisons de plaisance de Rome et de ses environs, qui compte parmis les plus luxueux et les plus beaux livres d'architecture français, est depuis longtemps introuvable. Cette réédition intégrale de l'édition de 1809 est la première qui rende accessible cette référence majeure pour l'histoire de l'architecture du XIXe siècle, pour l'histoire de l'art des jardins et pour l'histoire de l'enseignement à l'École des beaux-Arts.
