Les directions prises par l’architecture et son enseignement au cours des années 1960 sont multiples. Conscients d’un changement aussi inéluctable que nécessaire, les pouvoirs publics tentent d’accompagner ce mouvement par un projet de réforme initié en 1962 mais que Mai 68, avec toute la force de l’évènement, vient faucher.

Summary:

Conscients d’un changement aussi inéluctable que nécessaire, les pouvoirs publics tentent d’accompagner ce mouvement par un projet de réforme initié en 1962 mais que Mai 68, avec toute la force de l’évènement, vient faucher. À l’École des beaux-arts, les élèves-architectes réclament une formation moins académique, plus proche de l’exercice du métier. Suite au décret du 6 décembre 1968, l’enseignement de l’architecture se réinvente en Unités pédagogiques autonomes. S’ouvre alors un champ des possibles au cours duquel les hypothèses formulées pour la société témoignent de cette aspiration à envisager et à pratiquer l’architecture autrement.

Summary:
Monuments represent power: explicitly and simply, but not universally. In Estonia, the classical notion of a monument is a strange one. Its presence is marginal, its tradition non-existent and its form tormented by an apparent cultural displacement. The statue on a square never claimed the central position so common in Western Europe. This semantic void directs attention(...)

Summary:
Monuments represent power: explicitly and simply, but not universally. In Estonia, the classical notion of a monument is a strange one. Its presence is marginal, its tradition non-existent and its form tormented by an apparent cultural displacement. The statue on a square never claimed the central position so common in Western Europe. This semantic void directs attention to other, less exceptional pieces of architecture. Sometimes a stairway marks a politically charged location, or a pavement becomes symbolic. Instead of explicit meanings inscribed in marble and bronze, an implicit charge is revealed that might be weaker yet more relevant, for what is only implicit cannot be openly questioned. Weak Monument explores the blurred line between a monument's explicitly political form and the architecture of everyday. It juxtaposes classical monuments with seemingly insignificant architectural objects and public space in a collection of images and drawings, archival as well as newly commissioned ones, alongside essays and brief texts

Summary:
Comme toutes les espèces vivantes, toutes les cultures humaines ont eu leur propre monde. La modernité occidentale, à partir du XVIIe siècle, est le seul paradigme qui ait privé le sujet humain de cosmicité, en reléguant « le monde » à l’état d’objet. Au siècle dernier, cela aboutit à ce que l’architecte Rem Koolhaas a nommé junkspace, l'« espace foutoir ». Par-delà la(...)

Mais peut-on faire face aux réalités contemporaines et à venir ? Et créativement « recosmiser » l'existence humaine sur la Terre ?

From the vision of an international architectural modernism (a mission with which Giedion was involved as the first secretary-general of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, between 1928 and 1959) to debates on the industrialization of construction processes and their impact on public housing, Liberated Dwelling expresses the dreams and anxieties of early 20th-century modernist architecture.

Publication history is a rapidly expanding scholarly field which has profoundly influenced architectural history in recent years. Yet, while groundbreaking work has been done on architecture and printing in the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the twentieth century, the nineteenth century has received little attention. This is the omission that 'The Printed and the Built' seeks to address, thus filling a significant gap in the understanding of architecture's cultural history.

Summary:
The winner of France's prestigious Prix Femina Essai (2009), this book explores the many dimensions of the room in which we spend so much of our lives—the bedroom. Eminent cultural historian Michelle Perrot traces the evolution of the bedroom from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans to today, examining its myriad forms and functions, from royal king's chamber to child's sleeping quarters to lovers' trysting place to monk's cell. The history of women, so eager for a room of their own, and that of prisons, where the principal cause of suffering is the lack of privacy, is interwoven with a reflection on secrecy, walls, the night and its mysteries.Drawing from a wide range of sources, including architectural and design treatises, private journals, novels, memoirs, and correspondences, Perrot's book follows the many roads that lead to the bedroom—birth, sex, illness, death—in its endeavor to expose the most intimate, nocturnal side of human history.

Suburban men turned garages into man caves to escape from family life. Nirvana and No Doubt played their first chords as garage bands. What began as an architectural construct became a cultural construct. In this history and deconstruction of an American icon, Olivia Erlanger and Luis Ortega Govela use the garage as a lens through which to view the advent of suburbia, the myth of the perfect family, and the degradation of the American dream.
