Le texte dépeint la manière dont les architectes modulent la lumière et l'espace ; il traite aussi de l'insertion des constructions dans leur environnement.

Summary:
Within the large number of places that comprise the fabric of today’s contemporary urban landscape, public interior venues are taking on an ever growing significance in the face of exterior spaces. Whether in terms of climate, security, leisure or well-being, interiors have naturally incorporated themselves into the daily urban itinerary as part of public activity. The intense social interaction that takes place within these public spaces is concentrated within bars and restaurants, home to flirtations and friendships, entertainment and relaxation, observers and the observed. “Ultimate Restaurant Design” presents over seventy contemporary venues that have been chosen for their innovative interior architecture. Taking in venues from North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia, the projects are accompanied by full colour photography, detailed plans and insightful descriptions, making this a truly comprehensive survey of some of the most striking restaurant and bar interiors in the world today.

Summary:
Portées par la numérisation de l’économie, par l’explosion des échanges de données, du Cloud et des objets connectés, les infrastructures numériques sont en passe de devenir l’un des plus importants postes de consommation électrique du XXIe siècle. Les centres de données se multiplient en conséquence, et se déclinent en une diversité formelle surprenante: des «boîtes» anonymes standardisées, des architectures manifestes dans des campus high-tech, des bâtiments transformés tels d’anciens bureaux ou centraux téléphoniques. Visibles ou discrets, parfois même cachés dans des souterrains ou des bunkers pour échapper à la menace climatique ou terroriste, les centres de données sont omniprésents, que ce soit dans les centres-villes, dans les zones périphériques ou dans les régions rurales, reculées et désertiques. Qu’ils saturent les réseaux électriques, qu’ils soient intégrés dans des cercles d’échanges de chaleur ou d’électricité de périmètres variables, ils redéfinissent à chaque fois le projet énergétique des espaces dans lesquels ils s’implantent.

Summary:
A dacha is a country house, made of wood, used by Soviet citizens to escape the rigors of the city for a rural idyll. Widespread in the countries of the former USSR, this important cultural and architectural form has been largely ignored academically. In ''Dacha'', Fyodor Savintsev documents this particularly Russian phenomenon. His photographs constitute a unique record of a rapidly vanishing fairy-tale wooden world. The word ''dacha'' has been used to describe constructions ranging from grand imperial villas to small sheds. Originally bestowed by the Tsar to reward courtiers, this custom continued following the revolution, with Soviet cooperatives building dachas for their members. Supposedly for the benefit of laborers, in reality they were destined for those favored by the State, including famous writers, architects and artists from Pasternak to Prokofiev. The fall of the Soviet Union accelerated their use, as economic uncertainty forced city dwellers toward self-sufficiency. The dacha tradition has survived revolution, war and the collapse of Communism, becoming an integral part of life in the process. Using contemporary photographs to showcase these uniquely individual buildings for the first time, alongside an introduction explaining their historical and cultural context, Dacha is the only publication of its kind.
