La publication, en un seul volume, des actes de deux colloques consacrés à une approche contextuelle de l'œuvre de Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) et Etienne Louis Boullée (1728-1799) célèbre le souvenir de deux des plus grands architectes français de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. a peu près oubliés au XIXe siècle (on détruisit alors les quatre cinquièmes des édifices de Ledoux), ils ne furent vraiment redécouverts que dans les années 1930. dans l'historiographie de l'art dit " néoclassique ", enfin apprécié depuis un demi-siècle, l'œuvre de Ledoux et de Boullée symbolise désormais la part la plus révolutionnaire de l'architecture inspirée par la pensée, progressiste et libertaire, des lumières. La publication des écrits sur l'art, inédits, et des magnifiques dessins de Boullée, les rééditions en fac-similé, réduits, du grand livre théorique et poétique que Ledoux avait fait paraître, comme un testament, peu avant sa mort (l'architecture considérée sous le rapport de l'art des meurs et de la législation, 1804, sont devenues des ouvrages classiques de la culture architecturale, d'une manière quasi trans-historique. L'utopie, la poésie des formes, l'iconographie parlante et le caractère moralisateur - politique et social - des réalisations et des projets de ces artistes sont souvent compris selon un idéal universel qui fait leur force. Mais en s'intéressant ici aux publications anciennes ou diffusées de leur temps, avec lesquelles ils se sont trouvés en émulation, en rétablissant leur influence européenne, tant en Russie qu'en Angleterre, par exemple, tandis que s'étend l'espace des lumières, les communications de ces actes tentent de restituer le climat architectural dans lequel Ledoux et Boullée se sont exprimés.

Summary:
It is a known fact that manmade climate change is especially prominent in alpine topography. The Austrian photographer Michael Goldgruber examines the marginal parts of glacier, snow, and rock zones with a critical eye.

Summary:
It is a known fact that manmade climate change is especially prominent in alpine topography. The Austrian photographer Michael Goldgruber examines the marginal parts of glacier, snow, and rock zones with a critical eye. Goldgruber’s photographic works show sections of these landscapes that reflect a human dilemma – the longing for romantic landscape images on the one hand, and the reality of the countryside as altered by human activity on the other. Unlike classic landscape panoramas with their idealized images of nature, in Goldgruber’s works there is often no horizon, the proportions and scale remain unclear, the ice and rock formations fill the picture completely. The alpine world becomes an actor in its own right – it crumbles, melts, transforms.
