Summary:
L'histoire d'un édifice est écrite dans ses murs. L'archéologie possède les outils pour la décrypter. Des spécialistes nous offrent ici trente ans d'expérience en archéologie du bâti. L'archéologue étudie un bâtiment dans ses élévations comme il fouille le sol. Il identifie toutes les traces de la construction, des aménagements et des destructions partielles. Il analyse les matériaux, les savoir-faire, l'évolution des murs et les stratigraphies des revêtements, depuis les enduits et les peintures murales jusqu'aux tapisseries. L'archéologue du bâti pratique couramment le dessin qui constitue un outil privilégié de réflexion : dans ses relevés, il fixe la mémoire des investigations archéologiques et dans ses restitutions, il reconstitue la vie de bâtiments bousculés par le temps. Cette table ronde a réuni des spécialistes d'horizons divers, archéologues, architectes, historiens de l'art, restaurateurs.

Summary:
If a building could speak, what would it say? What would it sound like? Would it be worth listening to? This book treats buildings as deeply human creations - built by people for people; they come to embody the dreams, imaginings and stories that take place within them. David Littlefield and Saskia Lewis argue that buildings have voices and that it is worth listening to what they have to say. By focusing on elderly structures that are the subject of reinvention, this book examines how the buildings guide architects and artists. These reinventions, or re-imaginings, are not merely examples of straightforward conservation, nor simple exercises in contrasting old and new; they represent a more sensitive, personal approach to creative reuse. The authors' accounts of more than 20 historic buildings and their interviews with the people responsible for renewing them, demonstrate that the poetic qualities of the places we inhabit are not limited to just architectural style. In this book, the voices of an abandoned cathedral, a former brothel, a stately home and a Royal Mail sorting office reveal themselves. Listening to these voices opens up a new dimension to understanding the lives and meanings of old buildings. Preface by Alain de Botton.

Summary:
Preserving New York: Winning the Right to Protect A Citys Landmarks is the largely unknown inspiring story of the origins of New York Citys nationally acclaimed landmarks law. The decades of struggle behind the law, its intellectual origins, the men and women who fought for it, the forces that shaped it, and the buildings lost and saved on the way to its ultimate passage, span from 1913 to 1965. Intended for the interested public as well as students of New York City history, architecture, and preservation itself, over 100 illustrations help reveal a history richer and more complex than the accepted myth that the landmarks law sprang from the wreckage of the great Pennsylvania Station. Images include those by noted historic photographers as well as those from newspaper accounts of the time. Forgotten civic leaders such as Albert S. Bard and lost buildings including the Brokaw Mansions, are unveiled in an extensively researched narrative bringing this essential episode in New Yorks history to futuregenerations tasked with protecting the citys landmarks. For the first time, the story of how New York won the right to protect its treasured buildings, neighborhoods and special places is brought together to enjoy, inform, and inspire all who love New York.
