Edifié entre 1618 et 1655 sur les plans de Salomon de Brosse, architecte du palais du Luxembourg, cette cour de justice souveraine, chargée d’enregistrer édits et lettres royales, exprime dans la pierre et dans le décor toute l’importance de cette fonction. Après un siècle de chantier, l’architecte de Louis XV, Jacques V Gabriel, le dote d’une place royale rythmée par l’alternance du granit et du tuffeau, écrin pour une statue équestre de Louis XIV par Coysevox. À la Révolution, le palais perd sa dimension politique et conserve dès lors sa fonction de cour de justice. L’incendie de 1994, suscite un traumatisme chez les bretons, heureusement réparé par une restauration exemplaire et la réouverture en tant que cour d’Appel et monument ouvert à la visite dès 1999.

Summary:
The Cape Cod cottage has been one of America's most popular home styles for almost four hundred years. While a perennial domestic favorite, historians have long ignored the modest Cape Cod, relegating it to a vernacular footnote along with barns and mills. In "The Cape Cod cottage" architectural historian and photographer William Morgan places this uniquely American house—a remarkable combination of necessity and tradition—in its historical context and makes a compelling argument for the reassessment of its place in the history of American architecture. "The Cape Cod cottage" follows the uniquely American house type from its earliest beginnings in the colonial period, through its spread across New England, to its embrace as a suburban ideal in the twentieth century, and its reinterpretation by contemporary architects. Historical images of lost Capes augment new photographs taken specifi- cally for the book. Foreword by Daniel V. Scully.

This era saw the creation not only of palatial complexes and urban spaces appropriate to autocratic power, but also of essential infrastructure such as roads, ports, and fortifications.

Summary:
The years around 1700 were marked by transformations in European and colonial capital cities. This era saw the creation not only of palatial complexes and urban spaces appropriate to autocratic power, but also of essential infrastructure such as roads, ports, and fortifications. In addition, many of the civic structures and background buildings that form the familiar urban images of the eighteenth century date from this period. In all of this activity, architects and architectural ideas, formed mostly in Italy and influenced by the baroque architecture of Rome, especially the late works of Francesco Borromini and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, played a central role. Twelve contributors provide a comprehensive look at the design, renewal, and expansion of capitals and countries including Naples, Rome, Vienna, Stockholm, Saint Petersburg, England, Amsterdam, Cádiz, Lisbon, Quebec City, and Lima. The result is a fascinating cross section that allows a comparative reading of baroque architecture: from country to country, from region to region, and from the Old World to the New.

Dans les années 1730-1740, la " rocaille " connaît en France un épanouissement sans pareil, et tous les intérieurs se couvrent d'une débauche d'ornements dissymétriques alliant le minéral et le végétal. Mais les réactions ne tardent pas. Des théoriciens aspirent au retour du " goût simple et noble de l'antique ". Marc-Antoine Laugier, influencé par l'enseignement de l'érudit vénitien Carlo Lodoli, prône la supériorité d'une architecture fonctionnelle dont il retrouve en Grèce les fondements. Dans ce contexte, l'influence des idées et des œuvres de Piranèse puis l'étude simultanée des ruines grecques et romaines vont conduire à une évolution progressive des formes. Les artistes en résidence à l'Académie de France à Rome élaborent peu à peu une syntaxe et un vocabulaire nouveaux. Parmi ces pensionnaires se succéderont de jeunes architectes, Clérisseau, Peyre, De Wailly, Moreau, Chalgrin, qui côtoient dans la cité romaine leurs confrères étrangers, les Anglais William Chambers et Robert Adam, le Belge Laurent Benoît Dewez... Une profonde mutation se produit alors, qui donne naissance à un changement esthétique majeur, le " goût à la grecque ", prélude au néoclassicisme. Ainsi le piranésisme laissera-t-il son empreinte jusqu'à la fin du siècle sur plusieurs générations d'architectes, comme en témoignent les œuvres de Sir John Soane, d'Etienne Louis Boullée et de Claude Nicolas Ledoux.

The buildings pictured here stretch from the sidewalks to the sky, from the East River to the Hudson, from Battery Park to the far reaches of Central Park. Along with structures that are familiar to readers such as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler and Woolworth buildings, there are other less recognizable but nonetheless important structures that have become a part of New Yorkers’ daily lives. Each chapter focuses on an area of Manhattan, and opens with numbered maps showing the exact locations of the featured buildings. In a series of two to four page spreads, fullpage photographs of the skyscrapers are accompanied by additional illustrations, historical insights, architectural details, and interesting facts about their construction and evolution. An essay on the collective history of the city’s skyscrapers rounds out this compilation.
