Summary:
In the 1970s, a void opened at the heart of architecture. In hotels, offices, public buildings, and commercial centers, the atrium emerged globally to challenge the modernist legacies of form and function, altering the pattern and experience of cities. While often appearing at vast scale and to striking effect, the atrium also became omnipresent and mundane. In this(...)

Summary:
In the 1970s, a void opened at the heart of architecture. In hotels, offices, public buildings, and commercial centers, the atrium emerged globally to challenge the modernist legacies of form and function, altering the pattern and experience of cities. While often appearing at vast scale and to striking effect, the atrium also became omnipresent and mundane. In this lively critique, Charles Rice charts the atrium's appearance in the 1970s and its development through the 1980s, as it accompanied profound shifts in the discipline and practice of architecture. During this period, architectural practice especially in the United States and United Kingdom was changing rapidly, due in part to the manifold effects of deregulation. All aspects of the way buildings were designed, developed, regulated, built, managed, and occupied were being reshaped. A practice guided by the progressive tenets of modernism was being turned into a professional service fully integrated within neoliberal social and economic imperatives. As Rice shows, the atrium gives this story a distinct spatial and material figure, one that offers an inside view of architecture in transformation.

Summary:
Moins connu que le patrimoine religieux ou seigneurial, le patrimoine architectural hospitalier est un versant encore inexploré de la culture européenne. II est pourtant la marque d'un réseau historique qui diffusait à travers l'Europe les idées et les innovations et voyait circuler les modèles architecturaux d'un pays à l'autre. Ce livre - qui présente une quarantaine d'hôpitaux construits entre le Moyen Âge et le XXe siècle - est la première concrétisation du projet intitulé «Présent et avenir du patrimoine hospitalier européen», inclus dans le programme européen Culture 2000, soutenu par la Commission européenne, qui vise à mettre en valeur un espace culturel commun. Sept pays y participent : la Belgique (Bruxelles), l'Espagne (Catalogne), la Finlande, la France (Bourgogne, Île-de-France, Languedoc-Roussillon, Lorraine et Nord-Pas-de-Calais), l'Italie (Émilie Romagne), les Pays-Bas et le Royaume-Uni (Londres).

Summary:
Le thème du sanatorium est récurrent dans l'histoire de l'architecture moderne. Présent dans les ouvrages de référence, il a aussi sa place dans les monographies consacrées aux architectes majeurs du XXe siècle : le sanatorium est un édifice emblématique dans l'œuvre de Jan Duiker aux Pays-Bas, d'Alvar Aalto en Finlande, et pour la France de Tony Garnier, d'André Lurçat, de Pol Abraham et d'Henry-Jacques Le Même. La tuberculose, la Peste Blanche, comme on nomme alors le fléau, fait au début du XXe siècle 100 000 victimes par an en France ; un gigantesque programme de lutte contre la maladie, en partie inspiré par les Etats-Unis, et dont l'apogée se situe entre les deux guerres, est à l'origine de la construction des sanatoriums sur le territoire national. La valeur thérapeutique du sanatorium se fonde sur l'hypothèse de la cure d'air, de lumière, de soleil, et sur l'isolement des malades contagieux, conduits à contempler un paysage naturel à l'écart des méfaits de la ville industrielle. Ce vaste défi, mené en l'absence de moyens thérapeutiques pleinement efficaces, s'est traduit en France par près de 250 réalisations, qui s'échelonnent du début du XXe siècle aux années 1950 ; l'avènement des traitements par antibiotiques annonce alors la désuétude de l'institution et de ses instruments. L'ouvrage analyse principalement le cas des réalisations françaises dans leur rapport aux influences allemandes, suisse, hollandaise, et américaine. La plupart des typologies produites relèvent en effet de transferts étrangers, et malgré les projets de Tony Garnier, il faut attendre les années 1920 et les tenants français du Mouvement moderne apportent des réponses exemplaires.
