Summary:
L'architecture religieuse contemporaine en France est peu connue du grand public, sinon ignorée. Quelques bâtiments servent de référence, mais qui connaît les autres églises, temples, synagogues et nombreuses mosquées construites à Paris et surtout en banlieue depuis 1945? Or le développement urbain, qui a suivi la Seconde Guerre mondiale et n'a fait que s'amplifier jusqu'à nos jours, a suscité en Île-de-France la construction de près d'un millier de lieux de culte de toutes confessions. Ce guide présente une sélection en 100 notices des lieux les plus intéressants sur le plan architectural, sélection sévère faite par un comité d'historiens de l'art, d'architectes, de conservateurs des Monuments historiques et d'autres experts. Il conduira le lecteur et le visiteur à la découverte de créations tout à fait originales témoignant de l'audace des responsables religieux de notre temps.

Summary:
This book is inspired by the experience of those who, usually for professional reasons, have to continually travel by air from one city, country or continent to another. Dubbed 'frequent flyers' by the airline companies, these seasoned travellers face journeys that are profoundly different from those who only occasionally go by plane. The photographs have been taken by Francesco Cianciotta, a manager in a multinational company who also belongs to the world of corporate travellers. When flying for work, he shares with other experienced passengers the haste of the journeys, the boredom of the queues at passport control, the time spent waiting for flights, the disorientation caused by jet lag and fleeting encounters in the cafeterias.

The Pavilion examines both the history and the contemporary state of pavilion architecture, something of a niche genre in the field, but with a long history of masterpieces. It consists of two parts: first, the examination of a group of twentieth-century pavilions, and second, a collection of essays that survey historical and more recent examples. This outstanding(...)

Summary:
The Pavilion examines both the history and the contemporary state of pavilion architecture, something of a niche genre in the field, but with a long history of masterpieces. It consists of two parts: first, the examination of a group of twentieth-century pavilions, and second, a collection of essays that survey historical and more recent examples. This outstanding analysis was produced by students of architecture at Frankfurt's Städelschule. In the theoretical section, well-known authors discuss the materials used in pavilions, starting with influences from the Orient, India and Asia, and moving on to significant twentieth-century pavilions and recent temporary buildings that seem to occupy a space between art and architecture. In addition, the book documents the research and development of a summer pavilion for the garden at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt produced by the offices of Barkow Leibinger and Werner Sobek.

A travers la visite de 25 maisons conçues par des architectes et des décorateurs novateurs, on voit la maison du Sud changer peu à peu d'aspect. Si les amoureux des vieilles pierres ont appris à aménager de nouveaux espaces, très contemporains, au sein d'une vieille bastide ou d'une ferme, certains architectes proclament leur différence en construisant des villas radicalement contemporaines. Jardins, terrasses et patios reflètent une nouvelle approche, souvent basée sur une technologie de pointe et une meilleure connaissance de la topographie des lieux.
