Summary:
Les œuvres d’art ne nous intéressent pas seulement en raison de leur valeur historique et artistique, mais aussi parce qu’elles ont pour ainsi dire une seconde histoire, celle de leur accession à un statut patrimonial. C’est cette histoire que l’historien de l’art se propose d’étudier. Dans la mesure où il procède à un transfert qui fait passer l’objet de sa destination(...)

Summary:
Les œuvres d’art ne nous intéressent pas seulement en raison de leur valeur historique et artistique, mais aussi parce qu’elles ont pour ainsi dire une seconde histoire, celle de leur accession à un statut patrimonial. C’est cette histoire que l’historien de l’art se propose d’étudier. Dans la mesure où il procède à un transfert qui fait passer l’objet de sa destination cultuelle ou fonctionnelle primitive à une nouvelle vie, à la fois aux plans esthétique et historique, le musée constitue une mise en scène et un dispositif parfaitement réglés. À travers une série d’études ponctuelles, Roland Recht analyse les changements qui affectent notre relation aux objets esthétiques, depuis l’Élysée d’Alexandre Lenoir jusqu’au Grand Louvre ouvert en 1993. Cette publication accompagne l’exposition Un musée révolutionnaire Le musée des Monuments français d’Alexandre Lenoir au musée du Louvre du 7 Avril 2016 au 4 Juillet 2016.

Summary:
Every day, millions of people enter old buildings, pass monuments, and gaze at landscapes unaware that these acts are possible only thanks to the preservation movement. As we approach the October 2016 anniversary of the United States National Historic Preservation Act, historian Max Page offers a thoughtful assessment of the movement’s past and charts a path toward a more progressive future. Page argues that if preservation is to play a central role in building more-just communities, it must transform itself to stand against gentrification, work more closely with the environmental sustainability movement, and challenge societies to confront their pasts. Touching on the history of the preservation movement in the United States and ranging the world, Page searches for inspiration on how to rejuvenate historic preservation for the next fifty years. This illuminating work will be widely read by urban planners, historians, and anyone with a stake in the past.

Price:

Summary:
In contrast to tabula rasa urbanism, this book considers strategies for tabula plena?urban sites that are full of existing buildings of multiple time periods. Such dense sites prompt designers to work between the fields of architecture, historic preservation, and urban planning, developing methods for collaborative authorship and interlocking architectural forms. The book grew from a collaboration between the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation on the planning of the government quarter in Oslo. Emerging from this process, the book asks larger questions about how we practice, teach, and theorize engagement with existing architecture on an urban scale. It contains a compilation of short essays addressing theoretical questions, a sampling of design projects offering different formal strategies for architectural design, and a series of discussions about pedagogical strategies.

Summary:
Juin 1940 : les combats et la défaite. Les centres historiques sont dévastés, les châteaux réquisitionnés, les monuments effondrés. Le régime autoritaire de Vichy entreprend le " redressement moral " du pays. Contre l'internationalisme et le cosmopolitisme des avant-gardes, l'architecture française doit retrouver sa grandeur nationale et sa place éminente dans le monde. Dans ce projet, les monuments anciens ont un rôle de tout premier plan. Il ne s'agit pas seulement, en effet, de relever les ruines, mais aussi d'inventer une nouvelle modernité architecturale et urbaine appuyée sur la tradition et le génie artistique propre à la France. Le service des Monuments historiques se rapproche des services de l'urbanisme et de la reconstruction afin d'inventer le nouveau cadre bâti de la France régénérée. Juin l944-Mai 1945: nouvelles destructions et Libération. A la réflexion théorique succède l'action, dans un pays exsangue. Commence le grand chantier de la reconstruction, elles désillusions: crédits insuffisants, rupture du consensus avec les responsables de la construction. Refusant l'habituelle opposition entre architecture et patrimoine, cet ouvrage envisage le monument historique comme un élément à part entière de l'histoire de l'architecture. Il retrace son itinéraire politique et social autant que son destin matériel dans une période agitée, caractérisée par une quantité d'interventions absolument sans précédent.

Aloïs Riegl (1858-1905) démontre le concept de monument historique, révèle les valeurs conflictuelles sur lesquelles il repose, et les solutions contradictoires que ce conflit peut commander - par exemple, retaurer ou laisser s'user. Cet ouvrage fut écrit en 1903, afin de poser les bases doctrinales d'une nouvelle politique : il ne suffit pas de dire «c'est un monument historique», il faut savoir ce que cela signifie, et comment on veut le traiter.
