Summary:
Texte fondateur et précurseur du post-modernisme, Mathématiques de la villa idéale est aussi le titre d'un recueil de neuf articles écrits entre 1947 et 1961 mais publiés pour la plupart bien après leur rédaction, tant ils étaient jugés à l'époque à contre-courant de la pensée dominante. C'est que la méthode de Colin Rowe est singulière : faisant fi des contextes culturel et historique, il procède à des rapprochements, voire à des juxtapositions d'édifices que des siècles séparent. Il confronte ainsi des réalisations de Palladio et de Le Corbusier, l'architecture moderne au maniérisme et au néo-classicisme, les arts plastiques à l'architecture (notamment dans l'article-manifeste "Transparence : littérale et phénoménale "). Il aborde aussi des sujets comme l'architecture de l'utopie, l'École de Chicago ou les " vicissitudes du vocabulaire architectural au xlxe siècle".

Summary:
In the 1970s, mass-produced, cheaply printed science-fiction novels were thriving. The paper was rough, the titles outrageous, and the cover art astounding. Over the course of the decade, a stable of talented painters, comic-book artists, and designers produced thousands of the most eye-catching book covers to ever grace bookstore shelves (or spinner racks). Curiously, the pieces commissioned for these covers often had very little to do with the contents of the books they were selling, but by leaning heavily on psychedelic imagery, far-out landscapes, and trippy surrealism, the art was able to satisfy the same space race–fueled appetite for the big ideas and brave new worlds that sci-fi writers were boldly pushing forward. In Worlds Beyond Time: Sci-Fi Art of the 1970s, Adam Rowe—who has been curating, championing, and resurrecting the best and most obscure art that 1970s sci-fi has to offer on his blog 70s Sci-Fi Art—introduces readers to the biggest names in the genre, including Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Tim White, Jack.
