Summary:
Les architectes, les urbanistes et parfois les architectes de paysage mentionnent dans leurs biographies professionnelles le « design urbain » comme appartenant à leur champ d’expertise. Les architectes, les urbanistes et les architectes de paysage seraient-ils naturellement des designers urbains ? Et le design urbain ne serait-il qu’une activité connexe de l’urbanisme, de l’architecture de paysage et plus encore de l’architecture ? Cela a été probablement vrai, cela l’est de moins en moins et cela ne le sera plus dans l’avenir. La raison en est simple. Le design urbain est aujourd’hui devenu une discipline qui doit répondre non seulement à une demande exigeante tant culturellement que techniquement, économiquement et environnementalement, mais aussi à une demande politique et citoyenne de plus en plus forte. Le design urbain a gagné son autonomie et il échappe désormais aux seules pratiques architecturales et urbanistiques.

This illustrated volume surveys the ancient world's most remarkable architecture. Dieter Arnold, a leading expert on Egyptian building and design, includes more than 300 illustrations and 600 alphabetically arranged entries spanning every type of building and every aspect of construction and design.

Other entries cover materials,from reed and mud-brick to sandstone and granite, and construction techniques, including pyramid building and the erection of obelisks. The accessible text also addresses the symbolic meanings of various types of building, the importance of building orientation, and myriad architectural features, such as columns and false doors.
