Summary:
As models and paradigms, patterns have been helping to orient architects since the Middle Ages. But patterns are also the basis of the history of ornament, an aesthetic phenomenon that links all times and cultures at a fundamental level. Ornament – and hence pattern as well – was abolished by the avant-garde in the first half of the twentieth century, but the notion of pattern has taken on new meaning and importance since the 1960s. Today the use of generative computerized methods is opening up new ways of talking about an idea that is becoming increasingly abstract and dynamic. Pattern explores the question: what are the notions of pattern that must be discussed in the context of contemporary architecture?

It unveils the function of ornament as the agent for specific affects, dismantling the idea that ornament is applied to buildings as a discrete or non-essential entity. Each case operates through greater or lesser depth to exploit specific synergies between the exterior and the interior, constructing an internal order between ornament and material. These internal orders produce expressions that are contemporary, yet whose affects are resilient in time.

Plus tard, au Moyen Age, les arts roman et gothique ont produit de véritables chef-d'œuvre. Plus récemment, l'Art Nouveau a, lui aussi, exalté les multiples possibilités d'expression de ce matériau présent tant dans le mobilier intérieur que pur des éléments décoratifs architecturaux. Aujourd'hui, la tradition artisanale se conjugue avec l'innovation technologique pour permettre au fer forgé de figurer en bonne place dans le design du troisième millénaire. Vous trouverez dans cet ouvrage, illustré de nombreux dessins et photographies didactiques des idées et des projets (des grilles, des balcons, des gloriettes et des bancs...); des modèles à copier ou à modifier pour les adapter à son intérieur (des chaises, des tables, des lits, des lustres décoratifs...); des conseils pratiques pour apprendre à évaluer l'état des vieux objets de récupération, les nettoyer, les restaurer, les décaper, les peindre et leur donner une nouvelle jeunesse); une initiation progressive aux différentes techniques de traitement et de décoration du fer forgé (oxydation, sablage, brunissage, zincage, jusqu'à la délicate application de feuilles d'or et d'argent qui confère au métal un aspect noble et brillant.

Jones made detailed observations of decorative arts on his travels in Europe, the Middle East, and in his native London, where he studied objects on display at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851 and at local museums. His aim was to improve the quality of Western design by changing the habits of Victorian designers, who indiscriminately mixed elements from a wide variety of sources.
