Summary:
A critical survey of contemporary museums, as well as a reference in the field of architecture. The book analyzes the design and production of museum complexes all over the world in the last decade, and gives a critical interpretation of one of the most challenging subjects in the recent architectural panorama. The work of the most important contemporary masters such as Alvaro Siza, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Massimiliano Fuksas, Renzo Piano, Steven Holl, Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind crosses the most recent research and experiences in the world of museums. The works of emerging architects such as Tezuka Architects, Mansilla & Tunon, Asymptote, Diller + Scofidio, Delugan Meissle, UN studio, Michael Maltzan, and many others shows clearly how museum design became a fundamental field of research on the changing nature of the public spaces as well as on the relevant relationship between landscape and architecture.

A broad diversity of museums is considered: museums of businesses and institutes, of technology and toys, of literature and architecture.

Summary:
En s'opposant aux destructions révolutionnaires et en exposant les chefs-d'oeuvre sauvés, Alexandre Lenoir a été le précurseur d'une conscience patrimoniale. Mais en dehors de ces circonstances exceptionnelles, l'architecture n'a pas vocation à être transportée pour être exposée grandeur nature. Comment alors la montrer ? Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, en 1879, réussit à faire accepter l'idée d'un musée de moulages, comprenant aussi photographies et maquettes d'architecture, installé dans le palais du Trocadéro. Exposer l'architecture est aujourd'hui la vocation de la Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, qui hérite de cette conscience patrimoniale et la projette dans l'avenir, en associant la conservation à la création, insistant sur l'idée d'un patrimoine vivant et d'une architecture contemporaine respectueuse du contexte où elle s'inscrit. Simon Texier, historien de l'architecture, raconte ici l'aventure fondatrice de la Cité - toute jeune institution culturelle qui réunit trois institutions préexistantes : le musée des Monuments français, l'École de Chaillot et l'Institut français d'architecture. Son ambition est immense : construire et faire partager par le plus grand nombre une culture architecturale et urbaine.
