Summary:
Takes readers on an insider’s tour of the Ivy-League University of Pennsylvania. Beautifully photographed in color by Lewis Tanner, the guide presents architectural walks of a campus that is distinguished by landmark buildings—Houston Hall, the nation’s first student union; the University of Pennsylvania Museum, one of the finest archaeology and anthropology museums in the country; Franklin Field, the oldest collegiate football field still in use; and buildings by noted architects Frank Furness (Fisher Fine Arts Library), Louis Kahn (Richards [Medical Research] Building), and Eero Saarinen (Hill College House). George Thomas traces the university’s rich history from its founding days under Benjamin Franklin to the present wave of construction on the modern campus. Hand-colored maps and detailed descriptions of the buildings guide the readers on their tour of the campus.

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:
"Hospital Builders" offers a comprehensive appraisal of 32 case studies covering significant healthcare projects in Britain and around the world. Each is thoroughly analysed with a critical description, plans, illustrations and photographs to provide creative information that is of assistance to architects, contractors and managers and all those involved in the procurement and subsequent occupation of the facilities. The ideas and examples are amplified through an exploration of the historical achievements, present circumstances and potential future direction of our modern progressive health service. Current practitioners contribute from first-hand experience and anticipate the implications of private finance initiatives and competitive healthcare partnerships. A central theme throughout the book is the abiding importance of high-quality hospital architecture and the therapeutic benefits to be gained by friendly, human healthcare environments.

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.

Summary:
Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca is a key figure in contemporary art. His work is inspired by architecture, dance, film, and cartography. The "Theatre collages" were created between 2003 and 2004 based on plans of famous theatres and opera houses. By carefully reassembling the elements of their interiors, Kuitca transforms their balconies and rows of seats into undulating abstractions and elaborate forms. The predictable regularity of the auditorium seats is broken up by a dynamic rhythm reminiscent of musical notation that plays with the dynamic relationship between the stage and the audience. The second part of the book is dedicated to "The ring" (2003–2004) a four-part series based on Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle. Kuitca used album covers of historic recordings of these operas to create collages that powerfully evoke the voices and the music behind the famous names and titles.

Summary:
The pub scene across the world is characterised by its casual warmth and conviviality. It has none of the pretences or formality of a restaurant or cocktail bar. It is the relaxed setting in which friends and strangers alike can choose to meet. The pub is where we go to celebrate a special occasion with a group of chums, but also where we might go to flirt intimately with a prospective lover. It is a comfortable destination for seeking out the company of others. Whether located on a street corner in the Scottish Highlands, Munich or New Zealand, a favourite pub is defined by its own distinct atmosphere and character. Pubs are distinguished as much by their interior décor, as by the beer and liquor they sell and the customers that mingle around the bar. These qualities combine to give a 'local' its particular appeal, with a draw far beyond its immediate locality. These very unique, idiosyncratic attributes of pubs, which were once taken for granted, are now in real danger of extinction, as bar chains with standardised designs and drinks' menus are rolled out across city centres and main streets. Turning its back on the trend towards homogeneity of today's watering holes, "Pub Scene" celebrates the often exuberant, sometimes elegant décor, and always singular, wow factor of public drinking places, whether they are big or small, traditional or contemporary. Author Jane Peyton describes some of the world's best looking pubs, including British Victorian Gin Palaces, classic Art Nouveau Belgian café bars, Germany's Beloved bierkellers, Australia's amazing beachside beer-gardens and America's notable brew-pubs.
