Summary:
The age of multimedia constitutes a great challenge for libraries as they have to reinvent themselves to meet the constantly growing demands of digital applications. As a result, within the past decade, libraries have evolved from introverted hoards of knowledge to globally networked information and communication hubs. The architectural implementation of this transformation process has resulted in sophisticated buildings that succeed in combining impressive architecture with the complex contemporary requirements. The new edition of "Masterpieces : library architecture + design" shows that this process of transformation is far from over. Whether new building, conversion or extension, it presents new masterpieces of library design from around the world. The successful combination of contemporary architecture and cutting-edge technology is evidence that in the digital age, this type of building is as topical as never before.

Summary:
In pre–Revolutionary War America, libraries were member-driven collections for the elite; it was not until 1790 that Benjamin Franklin helped to establish the first public lending library. Throughout the subsequent centuries the library has evolved, but always remained central to the cultural life of the nation. Thomas R. Schiff’s photographs trace the history of the library through aesthetic and style while featuring legendary architects such as Charles F. McKim; Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge; and I. M. Pei. "The library book" beautifully captures the shifting architectural styles and missions of the library in sweeping 360-degree panoramas—from the very earliest American libraries to the modernist masterpieces of Louis I. Kahn and others. In his introductory essay, acclaimed author and library lover Alberto Manguel considers the story of the library in America, its evolving architecture and cultural role, and how the American model reflects the archetypal idea of the universal library. Including brief descriptions of each unique library, this book brings bibliophiles into one hundred libraries across the nation.

Summary:
In all debates on school system reform, teaching methods, care facilities for young children or individual funding opportunities, educational objectives are almost always at the fore. The more often issues of all-day schooling and inclusion are dealt with, the more important spatial concepts and aspects of aesthetics become. Results of international performance tests and findings from the field of developmental psychology have revealed the considerable influence that quality architecture exerts – from professional handling of design, colours, light and more to one’s ability to learn, including self-determined learning and working. Therefore, the time has come for architects to deal with these issues and to familiarise themselves with the appropriate design principles. In addition to brief theoretical asides, the latest volume from the “best of Detail” series provides a wide range of completed projects – from crèche to high school and community centres for children to youth centres – that demonstrate fascinating solutions for diverse construction projects for children and adolescents.

Summary:
Créés en 1959, les Villages Vacances Familles, pionniers en France du tourisme social, proposent aux familles un nouveau type d’hébergement de villégiature : le village de vacances en location avec services. Ils bénéficient de l’essor du tourisme de masse des Trente Glorieuses et leur succès ne se fait pas attendre. C’est ainsi qu’en trente ans, près de cent cinquante VVF sont construits partout en France. Cet ouvrage propose pour la première fois un regard sur ces constructions originales. Après un essai sur cette aventure sociale et architecturale, ce deuxième « Carnet d’architecture » examinera plus en détail les réalisations de six architectes ou agences, dont l’Atelier d’urbanisme et d’architecture (AUA), André Gomis ou encore Maurice Novarina. Un répertoire des 135 villages créés entre 1959 et 1989 complètera ce panorama.

Cet ouvrage expose quelques-uns des espaces infantiles les plus innovateurs et amusants construits dans le monde entier, proposant des exemples de crèches, de parcs pour enfants ou de zones d'expositions dans des musées. Tous ces projets promeuvent l'intérêt des plus petits envers l'art. Les enfants, leurs nécessités et leur développement sont les éléments clés pour la conception des projets sélectionnés, illustrés avec de grandes photographies, des plans et décrits par des textes qui expliquent le processus de conception et les inspirations des architectes.

The majority of the world's populations live in countries where clean water supplies are dwindling, and these water shortages are also quickly translating into food shortages. What can designers do to avert looming water-related realities? UrbanLab: Bowling views potential water crises as opportunities to speculate on future urban design possibilities, especially in cities. Several projects are presented that take an ecological approach to re-thinking received urban design methodologies of addressing the design of water-related infrastructures in existing and new cities.

Summary:
À quoi tient aujourd’hui la légitimité de la prison ? Au tournant sécuritaire commandé par la réaction néolibérale, assurément. Mais aussi à la croyance que la prison est perfectible, envers et contre tout. Régulièrement, des « prisons modèles » s’évertuent à raviver une utopie pénitentiaire moribonde. Les discours qui les accompagnent font miroiter la possibilité d’un enfermement enfin avantageux sinon salutaire, comme si jusqu’ici, par manque d’imagination, de volonté et de moyens, l’on n’avait pas vraiment essayé. C’est oublier une histoire jalonnée de diverses tentatives, parfois grandioses, qui donne toutes les raisons d’en douter. Pour nous la remémorer, ce livre effectue une vaste mise en perspective dans le temps et l’espace. De Genève à Pékin en passant par Londres ou Saint-Pétersbourg, du début du XIXe siècle à nos jours, il rappelle des cas célèbres ou méconnus de « prisons modèles » qui, d’abord encensées, ont tourné au fiasco.

Summary:
Although new technologies appear poised to alter it, the library remains a powerful site for discovery, and its form is still determined by the geometry of the book and the architectural spaces devised to store and display it. American Libraries provides a history and panorama of these much-loved structures, inside and out, encompassing the small personal collection, the vast university library, and everything in between. Through 500 photographs and plans selected from the encyclopedic collections of the Library of Congress, Kenneth Breisch traces the development of libraries in the United States, from roots in such iconic examples as the British Library and Paris’s Bibliothèque-Ste.-Geneviève to institutions imbued with their own, American mythology. Starting with the private collections of wealthy merchants and landowners during the eighteenth century, the book looks at the Library of Congress, large and small public libraries, and the Carnegie libraries, and it ends with a glimpse of modern masterworks.
