Présenter les écoles et les lycées de la première moitié du XXe siècle est un choix séduisant : c’est une période pendant laquelle ils ont été des plus variés. Conçus autour de 1900 dans le sillage du rationalisme constructif, ils connurent le régionalisme et furent dans les années 1930 aux avant-postes de la modernité.

Summary:
Présenter les écoles et les lycées de la première moitié du XXe siècle est un choix séduisant : c’est une période pendant laquelle ils ont été des plus variés. Conçus autour de 1900 dans le sillage du rationalisme constructif, ils connurent le régionalisme et furent dans les années 1930 aux avant-postes de la modernité. La guerre pourtant marqua un temps d’arrêt qui favorisa la maturation d’idées nouvelles, d'où émergent des réflexions sur l’architecture scolaire dans les milieux de la construction, de la pédagogie ou de la médecine ? Dans quelle mesure le développement du béton armé, le mouvement de l’Éducation nouvelle ou celui des écoles de plein air ont-ils transformé ces édifices ? Ce sont les questions qui traversent cet exposé de projets et de réalisations plus ou moins connus, du lycée de garçons d’Henri Ebrard à Nice à l’école de plein air d’Eugène Beaudouin et Marcel Lods à Suresnes, en passant par l’école professionnelle de Paul Guadet à Besançon…

Fondé en 1248 par Étienne de Lexington, abbé de Clairvaux sur un terrain marécageux des bords de Seine, le collège cistercien des Bernardins a été l'un des plus brillants centres d'études parisiens, du XIIIe siècle au XVIIIe siècle, au cœur du Quartier Latin.

Summary:
Fondé en 1248 par Étienne de Lexington, abbé de Clairvaux sur un terrain marécageux des bords de Seine, le collège cistercien des Bernardins a été l'un des plus brillants centres d'études parisiens, du XIIIe siècle au XVIIIe siècle, au cœur du Quartier Latin. Vendu comme bien national en 1791, il fut successivement prison, école, caserne de pompiers ; les travaux du Paris d'Haussmann firent disparaître nombre de ses bâtiments. Lorsque le diocèse de Paris le rachète en 2001, c'est un colossal chantier de restauration qui est lancé, mené par l'architecte Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Inauguré en 2008, en présence du pape qui y prononce une série de discours sur les rapports de la foi et de la culture contemporaine, Paris redécouvre alors ce grandiose témoignage de l'architecture gothique, mais aussi d'une université médiévale.

Summary:
Over the past one hundred years, the office has been integral to the development of modern society. It has shaped the architecture of our cities, the behavior of our organizations, and the everyday movements of millions of people. In 2020, however, the global pandemic brought our attendance in the office to an abrupt halt and triggered a complete reevaluation of the purpose of the workplace. This book offers a panoramic view of the office and explores what happens next. The authors advance a manifesto for “unworking”—unlearning old habits and rituals established for an outdated office and crafting and creating new ones fit for an age of digital technology, design innovation, and diverse workforces.

Summary:
The analysis of sanitary spaces and places dedicated to personal care, as in a privacy observatory, helps with the in-depth assessment of social changes, allowing us to determine how the lives of users can be improved, how conflicts of use in public places can be resolved between populations of different sexes and ages, and how the quality of public and private health can be enhanced. Observing these issues pushes us to explore the forms and meanings of bathrooms and private spaces in relation to their different functions, including those of transgressive and informal meeting places and spaces of inevitable and forced social coexistence. This book constitutes a new step in this field of research, presenting a series of scientific and artistic interventions that proves the diverse range of uses to which ''wet rooms'' can be put in social life, the evolution of the use of furniture, and the new meanings of details and objects in domestic bathrooms and public toilets. The texts, largely written for the 2018 symposium ''Intimacy Exposed: Toilet, Bathroom, Restroom'' (organized by the Department of Interior Architecture at HEAD – Genève) present a practice-based study of the recent past of modernist technologies and a vision of the future of personal and collective practices regarding the realm of the toilet.

Summary:
In twelve essays, this book examines the spatial typologies and global phenomena that have defined the office in the last half century. Topics include the return of the work club, the rise of the corporate festival, the way of the charismatic guru, the shattering of the time clock, and the design of playgrounds for work. Photographic essays by Iwan Baan provide a visual post-occupancy report on a range of canonical office projects, such as Marcel Breuer’s IBM campus in Florida and the Ford Foundation’s urban garden in Manhattan. Four intervening catalogs offer collections of experimental workplace products, augural advertisements for office building components, digital office components, and renderings of speculative workplaces; each catalog bridges the reality of the office and how we imagine its alternatives. This book is a theoretical backdrop for architects as much as it is for businesspeople and employees. With curiosity and skepticism, it looks at the spaces and solutions that have been designed for human work, tracing the transformation from work to occupation, from punch cards to “playbor,” from today’s lived experience to tomorrow’s unpredictable, imagined futures.
