Summary:
Objet de rêve, la villa balnéaire formalise une invitation au voyage où, depuis la fin du XVIIIe, architectes et entrepreneurs rivalisent d'invention et multiplient les solutions d'articulation entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur où se déroule une grande part de la vie estivale. Entre 1945 et 1980, la villégiature devient tourisme de masse et les maîtres d'oeuvre doivent s'adapter à ce changement d'échelle. Le marché de la maison individuelle et celui de la maison balnéaire dont elle n'est qu'un aspect en sont bouleversés. La créativité foisonnante qui prévaut encore dans le contexte de la Reconstruction s'essouffle devant les réalités économiques et sociologiques d'une aspiration légitime du plus grand nombre à jouir d'une petite place au soleil en bord de mer. S'appuyant sur le corpus des 12000 maisons individuelles construites entre 1945 et 1980 sur le littoral de Charente-Maritime, à Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, Royan, Ronce-les-Bains, Fouras, Châtelaillon-Plage, La Rochelle, mais aussi dans les iles d'Aix, d'Oléron ou de Ré, l'ouvrage propose, pour la première fois à l'échelle d'un département, un panorama complet de la production des maisons du littoral, des villas modernes les plus inventives à la production de maisons ordinaires qui dessinent le paysage côtier contemporain. L'ouvrage questionne les façons d'être modernes et la place qu'y occupent les architectes et les entrepreneurs concepteurs, la notion de régionalisme au moment de son abandon et de sa renaissance à l'aube des années 1980 sous la forme d'un post-modernisme vernaculaire inventif.

Summary:
The Barbican Estate is one of the most berated and beloved architectural projects in London. Taking over 20 years to complete from its inception in 1963, it was widely condemned in the 1980s for its acreage of relentless concrete and lack of clear entrances. Since then, however, it has inspired passion and enthusiasm from residents and visitors alike. With its penthouses and tower apartments, it provided one of the earliest prototypes for loft living in England. Located close to the City and Clerkenwell, it is now one of the most desirable addresses for politicians, financiers, creative professionals and media figures alike. In the book, the author, David Heathcote traces the development of the Barbican from pre-war planning to present day. Built on the largest blitzed site in the City of London, it was conceived as a new Belgravia to bring the professional classes back to the heart of the City. The project overcame all sorts of difficulties, from the challenges of London's geology to the economic problems that beset Britain in the 1960s and 1970s. The final scheme involved the construction of the highest apartments in Europe, with elements derived from the elegant squares of Georgian London , contemporary architects like Le Corbusier and Scharoun, and the Baroque architecture and gardens of Italy.

Summary:
The 200 houses showcased in this book spotlight the astounding variety seen in new residential architecture. This collection of contemporary homes comes from North America, South America, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Asia and Africa. Some homes incorporate an intense dedication to cultural traditions, while others are on the edge of new trends. All share the need of providing shelter.

Some of the distinct locations included are Oregon's rugged coastline, Australia's scorching interior, South America's mountainside cities, Finland's wintry forests, Indonesia's steamy beaches, inner city neighborhoods, outlying suburbs and rural locales. A great many of the designs respond to extremely challenging building sites with solutions that are nothing short of brilliant. Concise descriptions of each home include key features, along with floor plans and photographs showing interiors, exteriors and details. Each house is identified by name, location, year built and square footage as well as information on the architect.
