Summary:
"Museum Builders II" explores 27 contemporary museum commissions, which both demonstrate and generate aspects of identity, be they national, ethnic, regional, civic, or personal. The dialogue of "identity and difference" finds many and varied architectural expressions in the contemporary museum buildings highlighted, which are drawn from across the globe. The projects vary dramatically in scale, context, thematics and intent, but all raise questions of architectural representation. Many museum architects have turned to the natural landscape for inspiration, often for aesthetic or pragmatic reasons, but at times to invest their buildings with a specific identity. Similarly, rich archaeological and architectural caches have been plundered by designers in a quest to give identity to their built form. Several featured museum projects address the meeting of cultures, which were defining moments in history, and these encounters have left a tenacious legacy on the architecture and exhibitions of those museums. Most resonant here is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: a deeply poignant physical monument to one of the most horrifying and inhumane encounters in human history, and a most extreme example of the museum’s lasting role in the construction and depiction of identities.

Summary:
Finnish modern church buildings appeal to the visitor with their minimalist character. The essential strength of their architecture lies in the presence of light and nature. The buildings and their interiors are attuned to the passing of each day and the change of seasons. "Sacral space" beckons the reader to step into twelve churches and chapels, each one of which represents Finnish church architecture at its best: Resurrection Chapel by Erik Bryggman, Otaniemi Chapel by Kaija ja Heikki Siren, The Church of the Three Crosses by Alvar Aalto, Vatiala Chapel by Viljo Revell, Hyvinkää Church by Aarno Ruusuvuori, Kaleva Church by Raili and Reima Pietilä, Temppeliaukio Church by Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen, The Chapel of the Holy Cross by Pekka Pitkänen, Olari Church by Käpy and Simo Paavilainen, Kauniainen Church by Kristian Gullichsen, St. Johns’s Church Männistö by Juha Leiviskä and St. Henry’s Ecumenical Chapel by Matti Sanaksenaho. Jari Jetsonen’s photographs, the architects’ drawings, photographs taken during the construction, architect Sirkkaliisa Jetsonen’s texts and professor Fred Thompson’s accompanying article bring out the uniqueness and history of each church building.

Summary:
Ce livre, devenu une véritable institution, constitue le guide indispensable pour ceux qui ont à concevoir, réaliser et aménager des ouvrages accessibles à tous y compris aux personnes en situation de handicap. Abondamment illustré de plus de 400 dessins techniques et photographies en situation, il étudie en détail tous les aspects de l'accessibilité des bâtiments, de leurs aménagements intérieurs, de l'adaptabilité des logements, et tous les types de construction: immeubles d'habitation collectifs, maisons individuelles, bâtiments recevant du public, lieux de travail, espaces urbains, ainsi que les équipements, tant collectifs qu'individuels. Il concerne tous les handicaps physiques et sensoriels et met particulièrement l'accent sur l'évolution historique des modèles anthropométriques qui incluent maintenant des individus aux capacités différentes ; la méthodologie de la conception universelle ; des exemples d'aménagement concernant:- la voirie et les abords des bâtiments, - les dispositions particulières de repérage pour les aveugles et les malvoyants, notamment dans les circulations des bâtiments, dans les parcs et les jardins, - les détails de construction pour réaliser l'accessibilité et l'adaptabilité des logements ; l'accessibilité des bâtiments du patrimoine culturel ; l'accès aux transports ; l'évolution de la législation d'après les textes réglementaires d'application les plus récents et son incidence sur la conception du projet. Enfin, des recommandations précises et concrètes, accompagnées d'exemples de solutions, permettent au maître d'ouvrage et au concepteur de faire les meilleurs choix pour que les personnes âgées ou handicapées maintiennent leur autonomie dans le cadre de la vie sociale. Réalisé initialement à la demande de la Direction de la Construction au ministère de l'Équipement et du Logement, ce livre a été rédigé par Louis-Pierre Grosbois qui possède une expérience professionnelle de plus de trente ans sur le sujet: il a, entre autres, réalisé une résidence intégrée pour personnes âgées dans un immeuble d'habitation à Toulouse et la salle de lecture pour aveugles de la médiathèque de la Cité des sciences et de l'industrie de la Villette, qui constitue un modèle exemplaire; il a contribué aussi à rendre la Bibliothèque nationale (site François-Mitterrand), le Stade de France et le métro Météor complètement accessibles à tous.

Summary:
The steep increases recently witnessed in both business and leisure travel have helped provoke a new variety in hotel interiors, and designers from various disciplines are now establishing a range of design solutions catering to the widely differing demands of each client type, giving new identities to hotels. From the boutique hotel to the airport atrium, the urban retreat to the contemporary resort, the immensity of Vegas to the intimacy of Beirut, "Hotel Interior Structures" presents a wide range of these new design trends found in present-day hotel interiors. This volume aims to offer architects, interior designers and hotel owners - as well as those with a more general interest in the use of interior design detail to create a particular atmosphere or living experience - a valuable insight into the what, why and how of current design directions for hotels across the globe. Identifying ten hotel types that have been conceived within the last ten years, it features text, plans and detailed photography of a selection of hotels of each type, as well as interviews with some of the key figures involved. With examples of hotels in major cities and resorts worldwide - from London, Paris and New York to locations in Japan, Egypt and Lebanon - it gives a complete picture of the creativeness and imaginativeness of hotel interior design at the beginning of the 21st century.

Attraverso una serie di approcci differenziati il volume ricostruisce la storia del Foro Italico dalle origini – la concezione eminentemente paesaggistica di Del Debbio – agli sviluppi successivi, dominati dall’emergere di importanti volumi fuori-terra – la sede del Partito Nazionale Fascista (poi Ministero degli Esteri), lo Stadio Olimpico (progressivamente imponente), lo stadio centrale del tennis (di cui è prevista la copertura) – che quella concezione originaria profondamente modificano. Il libro è dunque uno strumento prezioso tanto per la conoscenza del complesso, quanto in funzione dell’ambizioso percorso di riqualificazione che Sport e Salute ha avviato.
