Summary:
Un répertoire de réalisations très contemporaines, par de grands architectes et designers. Après Boutiques et showrooms 1, Boutiques et showrooms 2 et Petites et grandes boutiques 1, voici un quatrième répertoire de l’architecture et du design des espaces réservés à la vente. Au fil des années, les boutiques ou magasins, petits ou grands, repoussent toujours plus loin leurs frontières pour se transformer en univers souvent hybrides, parfois véritablement spectaculaires. Expression de la contemporanéité au cœur du système urbain, ils se définissent comme des lieux susceptibles, par leur structure et leurs aménagements intérieurs, d’accueillir confortablement le public et de stimuler efficacement son choix. Pour les architectes et les designers, cette thématique est l’occasion de recherches toujours plus exigeantes (puisque sont en cause l’identité même et les résultats de l’enseigne) et toujours plus créatrices (en termes de couleurs, de formes et de matériaux). Domitilia Dardi, dans un bref essai préliminaire, offre de précieuses clés de lecture éclairant les problématiques du genre. L’ouvrage est complété par des notices biographiques des architectes.

Summary:
Un répertoire de réalisations très contemporaines, par de grands architectes et designers. La discothèque est le lieu même de l’illusion, de l’artifice: la scénographie, exaltée par la musique et le savant usage des lumières, a pour mission de nous transporter dans un autre univers, le temps d’une soirée. Pour ce faire, les architectes et designers d’aujourd’hui proposent des solutions très contrastées: tantôt de vastes complexes multipistes et thématiques, souvent intégrés à leur environnement par des espaces panoramiques stratégiques; de l’autre, des petits clubs à l’ambiance plus intimiste, insérés au milieu urbain. Deux tendances auxquelles se superpose une autre réalité: l’adaptation de ces lieux à des fonctions hybrides (le bar-restaurant se transformant pour l’occasion en discothèque, ou l’ancien atelier industriel accueillant des expositions d’art comme des soirées “branchées”). Silvia Berselli, dans un bref essai préliminaire, offre de précieuses clés de lecture éclairant les problématiques du genre. L’ouvrage est complété par des notices biographiques des architectes.

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.
