Summary:
Consacré à l’actualité des chantiers, ce semestriel 2 comprend également un dossier portant sur le patrimoine de la Défense. L’achèvement récent, parfois spectaculaire, de plusieurs opérations, menées dans le cadre d’un accord entre les ministères de la Défense et de la Culture, a permis de regrouper plusieurs articles sur les campagnes de travaux conduites aux Invalides ou à l’hôtel de la Marine, à Paris, mais également sur d’autres édifices moins connus en métropole et dans les départements d’Outre-Mer. La deuxième partie de la revue témoigne de la diversité des chantiers réalisés : restauration de polychromies à l’ancienne cathédrale de Toul ou de décors peints et de vitraux dans les cathédrales de Chartres et d’Amiens, jusqu’aux travaux de réhabilitation du bâtiment de l’Unesco à Paris… Pour la partie technique et scientifique, le quatrième et dernier volet du dossier « Métal dans l’architecture » est consacré à la question de la statuaire.
