Depuis le «monument historique» du XIXe siècle, le patrimoine a bien bien changé. L'accroissement des échanges internationaux et la multiplication des références identitaires, tout en aplanissant les vieilles frontières nationales, ont établi l'environnement immédiat de chacun comme espace privilégié de représentation ; puis, un beau matin, tout pouvait être(...)

L'accroissement des échanges internationaux et la multiplication des références identitaires, tout en aplanissant les vieilles frontières nationales, ont établi l'environnement immédiat de chacun comme espace privilégié de représentation ; puis, un beau matin, tout pouvait être «patrimoine». «Patrimoines pour le XXIe siècle» explore ce nouvel univers de possibles, né d'un big bang référentiel qui a entremêlé les images, au point où l'on consacre maintenant des bazars, des t-shirts et des vêtements de hockey, tout en construisant fièrement des «places de Vosges» à Montréal et des maisons bretonnes près de Paris. Cependant, pour dépaysant qu'il soit, ce monde à l'envers de la patrimonialisation nous rend-t'il vraiment un reflet nouveau de nous-même?

Summary:
Since at least Tudor times there have been architectural salvages : panelling, chimney pieces, doorways, or any fixtures and fittings might be removed from an old interior to be replaced by more fashionable ones. Not surprisingly a trade developed and architects, builders, masons, and sculptors sought out these salvages. By 1820 there was a growing profession of brokers(...)

Summary:
Since at least Tudor times there have been architectural salvages : panelling, chimney pieces, doorways, or any fixtures and fittings might be removed from an old interior to be replaced by more fashionable ones. Not surprisingly a trade developed and architects, builders, masons, and sculptors sought out these salvages. By 1820 there was a growing profession of brokers and dealers in London, and a century later antique shops were commonplace throughout England. This fascinating book documents the break-up, sale, and re-use of salvages in Britain and America, where the fashion for so-called "Period Rooms" became a mainstay of the transatlantic trade. Much appreciated by museum visitors, period rooms have become something of a scholarly embarrassment, as research reveals that many were assembled from a variety of sources. One American embraced the trade as no other - the larger-than-life William Randolph Hearst - who purchased tens of thousands of architectural salvages between 1900 and 1935.

Summary:
Conversion, adaptation, reuse - these techniques are as old as construction itself. However, since the industrialization of the building industry and the emergence of modernism in architecture, newly constructed buildings have dominated our idea of good and progressive architecture. For decades, conversion did not play a significant role in architectural practice. Today, things have changed. The industrialization of the construction industry has led to environmental degradation, and the reform potential of modernism has been exhausted. Consequently, the existing building stock is one of the resources - perhaps even the most important resource - for the transformation of our cities. Against this backdrop, the architecture of conversion has made an unexpected comeback. Young architects in particular are providing surprising answers to the environmental and social questions of our time with their conversion projects.

Summary:
"Old materials, new climate: Traditional building materials in a changing world" is an accessible guidebook to understanding historic materials – how they were traditionally made, how they survived the test of time, and how changes in climate are now impacting materials in new ways. Protecting historic buildings from a rapidly changing and unpredictable climate requires an understanding of how climate affects weather and how weather affects the durability of the most widely used traditional materials – wood, adobe, brick, lime, concrete, metal, and paint. This resource examines how gradual and dramatic changes in climate threaten to accelerate normal weathering and presents strategies to safeguard historic materials for future generations. Illustrated case studies explore how weather is affecting materials in specific historic buildings in climate zones in the United States and across the globe.

Summary:
Building measures in existing buildings is of crucial importance for the path to a climate-neutral future. Nevertheless, continuing to build not only requires planners to take great care in planning, but also to be patient and imaginative when dealing with unforeseeable problems. This book chronicles outstanding quality of living conditions that can be created through alterations and conversions, refurbishments, renovations and modernisations carried out on existing buildings. It shows 26 exciting best practice projects from the years 2017 to 2023 – from a converted church in London to a multi-storey car park extension in Cologne. Detailed drawings at a 1:20 scale provide a precise picture of each of the construction solutions along with floor plans and sections.

Summary:
The high-tech architecture of the 1970s–1990s is typically characterized by the use and exhibition of advanced technologies. In terms of appearance, these buildings often have innovative façades, supporting structures accentuated in color, and expressively displayed technology systems. Unfortunately, however, the rapid obsolescence of technology has often led to the complete replacement of the very systems that defined the architectural form. In 2023, an international conference at ETH Zurich in collaboration with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar explored the question of how best to deal with the structural legacy of technologically innovative architecture. This book summarizes the results and provides an overview of the current state of research.

Summary:
The book serves as a catalogue for the exhibition "As Found", on showcase from 6 september 2023 to 17 March 2024 in DE SINGEL, Antwerp. The exhibition focuses on the new relationship between contemporary design and heritage. Using experimental, groundbreaking, (inter)national examples, the exhibition explores the different positions that contemporary designers adopt in relation to existing buildings. Architecture in Flanders and Brussels reflects a unique position in dealing with the existing built environment. Although the experimental approaches vary with different design methodologies, the audacity of the interventions remains, whether it is a medieval structure or a twentieth-century building. This book focuses on seven experimental approaches in preservation today: ensemble, void, reconfiguration, inside out, traces, mirror and nuance. These are explored through essays, realized projects and international references.

Summary:
Le concept de patrimoine englobe, certes, celui de monument historique mais en le dépassant très largement à la fois quantitativement et qualitativement. Quantitativement puisque, par delà les artefacts, le patrimoine peut concerner une langue, une tradition, un savoir faire. Mais qualitativement aussi dans la mesure où la mise en évidence de la valeur patrimoniale d'un lieu, d'un événement ou d'un fait a souvent non seulement échappé aux structures officielles chargées de l'identification et de la préservation des monuments historiques mais s'est parfois imposée à elles. Ce fut particulièrement le cas en Forez, après qu'il soit passé de la gloire apportée par L'Astrée d'Honoré d'Urfé (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles) à l'oubli quand ce n'était pas à l'opprobre de la " ville noire " (XIXe-XXe siècles). Or, voilà que depuis quelques décennies ce territoire et ses habitants, longtemps " sans histoire " pour certains, non seulement découvrent leur passé mais le valorisent comme un patrimoine dont la richesse est désormais reconnue. Cela étant, le propos de cet ouvrage n'est pas celui d'un inventaire ou d'un guide au sens traditionnel du terme, mais plutôt celui d'une sorte de manuel du processus de " patrimonialisation ". C'est la raison pour laquelle, après avoir consacré le premier chapitre au concept lui-même de patrimoine et à ce qui le différencie si nettement de celui de monument historique qu'il englobe néanmoins, les suivants abordent les conditions dans lesquelles est apparu et s'est développé ce qui est aujourd'hui perçu comme le patrimoine forézien.
