Summary:
Bridges, the least known and understood of China's many wonders, are one of its most striking and resilient feats of architectural prowess. Chinese Bridges brings together a thorough look at these marvels from one of the world's leading experts on Chinese culture and historical geography, Ronald G. Knapp. While many consider bridges to be merely utilitarian, the bridges of China move beyond that stereotype, as many are undeniably dramatic, even majestic and daring. Chinese Bridges illustrates in detail 20 well-preserved ancient bridges, along with descriptions and essays on the distinctive architectural elements shared by the various designs. For the first time in an English-language book, Chinese Bridges records scores of newly discovered bridges across China's vast landscape, illustrated with over 400 color photographs, as well as woodblock prints, historic images, paintings and line drawings. Ronald G. Knapp has been carrying out research on cultural and historical geography in China's countryside since 1965. Currently SUNY Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York, New Paltz, he is the author or contributing editor of more than a dozen books.

She shows how artists, writers, and architects all drew on the memory of the Turkish house as a space where changing notions of spirituality, modernity, and identity—as well as the social roles of women and the family—could be approached, contested, revised, or embraced during this period of tumultuous change.

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, 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.

It was built in Nagoya, Japan, and shipped to New York in 1954, where it was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and then relocated to Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park. This extensively illustrated volume centers on Yoshimura’s design for Shofuso and two allied sites located in New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania: Raymond Farm (1939–41); and Nakashima Studios. Each site, in its own way, is the embodiment of the personal relationships and cross-cultural collaborations among this group of architects and designers. This volume documents an exhibition of objects and ephemera mounted at Shofuso. Architectural photographer Elizabeth Felicella captures each site in a portfolio of newly commissioned images. Essays by Ken Tadashi Oshima and William Whitaker, illustrated with historical photographs, family snapshots and architectural drawings, further elucidate this important chapter in the history of modern architecture and design.
