Les vieux quartiers, où l'on hésitait naguère à s'aventurer, sont des centres commerciaux à ciel ouvert. Les ronds-points sont nos arcs de triomphe...

Summary:
L'usine, où suaient nos grands-parents, s'est changée au musée. La bibliothèque, rebaptisée médiathèque, brille comme un diamant au coin de la rue. Les vieux quartiers, où l'on hésitait naguère à s'aventurer, sont des centres commerciaux à ciel ouvert. Les ronds-points sont nos arcs de triomphe... En pleine révolution, la géographie de nos villes bouscule nos repères familiers. L'école, la mairie, la halle ne se ressemblent plus. L'architecture n'affirme rien, elle interroge. Jean-Louis André donne ici une réponse en images, retraçant une histoire originale de l'urbanisme.

Summary:
Ernest Batchelder's ceramic tile making enterprise began as a modest backyard venture in rural Pasadena, California but quickly grew to prominence far beyond. New York, Minneapolis and Vancouver would soon become host to major Batchelder architectural ceramic installations. His clients ranged from restaurants to churches to high-rise office buildings but perhaps the most striking installations remain the many fireplaces gracing modest American bungalows throughout the country. This book represents the first comprehensive overview of his tilemaking.

Summary:
L'apparition de la céramique ornementale dans l'architecture parisienne fut aussi soudaine qu'éphémère. S'est répandue, dans la capitale, une profusion de formes et de couleurs, qui pour procéder de considérations parfois austères, n'en constitue pas moins l'un des attraits les plus pittoresques de la Belle Époque. Ces façades luisantes, ces recoins bigarrés enchanteront toujours les "piétons de Paris", avides de trouvailles et de cette poésie cocasse dont le grand billard haussmanien les a si souvent sevrés. C'est à ces amoureux-là que s'adresse cet ouvrage.
