Summary:
Japan’s grand resort hotels, built during the era between the Restoration of the Meiji Emperor in 1868 until the outbreak of war in the late 1930s, are some of the most engaging and enduring examples of the country’s cross-fertilization with the West. As an unprecedented flow of people and ideas entered the country in the late 19th century, Japanese hoteliers began to tailor their businesses and buildings to receive foreign emissaries and adventurous travelers, and provide glamorous settings in which worldly Japanese and curious Westerners could mingle. Eager to champion both its national identity and its status as a modern nation, these business owners looked to adapt Western hotel standards to the cultural demands of the Japanese archipelago. Welcoming the West focuses on six of these grand resort hotels: the Nara, the Fujiya, the Nikko Kanaya, the Fuji View, the Biwako and the Gamagori.

Summary:
In 1833, the Select Committee for Public Walks was introduced so that “the provision of parks would lead to a better use of Sundays and the replacement of the debasing pleasures.” Being “the safest and surest method of popular culture,” music was seen as an important moral influence in this endeavor. And so the bandstand was born. The history and heritage of bandstands in(...)

Summary:
In 1833, the Select Committee for Public Walks was introduced so that “the provision of parks would lead to a better use of Sundays and the replacement of the debasing pleasures.” Being “the safest and surest method of popular culture,” music was seen as an important moral influence in this endeavor. And so the bandstand was born. The history and heritage of bandstands in England has largely been ignored. Yet in their heyday, there were more than 1500 bandstands in the country—in public parks, on piers, and at seaside promenades, often attracting crowds of thousands. In "Bandstands", landscape architect Paul Rabbitts guides us from their evolution as “orchestras” in the early pleasure gardens, to their great decline after World War II, to their subsequent revival in the late 1990s. This beautifully illustrated book tells for the first time the story of these pavilions made for music, illuminating their history, architecture, and worldwide influence.

Summary:
Quiconque s’imagine que la vie en bibliothèque est un fleuve tranquille se détrompera en lisant cet ouvrage. Il n’y trouvera pas l’atmosphère feutrée, la douceur des manières ni la tranquillité qui feraient le quotidien des bibliothèques. Une bibliothèque universitaire se trouve au cœur de nombreux tiraillements. Elle compose avec les exigences difficilement conciliables des gouvernements, des autorités universitaires, des professeurs, des étudiants et de bien d’autres encore. Elle doit avancer au rythme des innovations technologiques et renouveler son rôle dans le système de l’éducation supérieure. La bibliothèque de l’Université Laval illustre en une large mesure les défis qu’ont dû relever toutes les bibliothèques universitaires. Abondamment illustré, le livre s’adresse à ceux qui aiment les bibliothèques et les lieux de savoir, qu’ils aient déjà mis ou non les pieds à l’Université Laval. Nul besoin d’être bibliothécaire pour s’y plonger. D’un abord facile, le texte repose toutefois sur des recherches approfondies.

Summary:
As people make considered choices about their own lives and deaths, cremation has become an increasingly popular option in Europe, representing a recent but accelerating change in funerary practices. What do these spaces actually look like? What role does architecture play in these rituals? Considering precisely these questions, the authors of ''Goodbye Architecture'' embarked on a unique tour of European architecture. For the first time, the spaces and practices of cremation- the sites of some of our deepest desires and fears about life and death- receive serious architectural consideration. A wide range of facilities are documented in this volume with extensive illustrations and analyses, providing a glimpse of an essential architecture often hidden in plain sight.

Clients that would once have turned to large firms have instead hired A-list and Pritzker-Prize-winning architects to design their new stadia. As a result, in cities around the world, stadia are often the most expensive and monumental projects, even becoming icons of identity. By examining a range of exemplary stadia from around the world (built and demolished projects), this book presents for the first time a canon for this building category.
