Pour chacune des villes, une cartographie légendée avec un renvoi au texte illustré par immeuble en facilite la compréhension. Une introduction historique par ville la situe dans son contexte et amène le lecteur à la période qui nous concerne. De plus, quelques encarts sur la carrière des principaux architectes cités donnent un éclairage qu'il était temps de saisir car les archives sont bien souvent difficiles à retrouver et pour certaines, encore aujourd'hui, elles sont en perdition malgré la prise de conscience de l'intérêt culturel et historique qu'elles représentent. Les bâtiments sélectionnés dans le présent ouvrage ont été regroupés sous forme de promenades ; le visiteur garde néanmoins la possibilité d'organiser lui-même le cheminement de son parcours en utilisant la cartographie, les photos et les commentaires. Texte en français et en arabe.

Summary:
Windows are moments in modern architecture where we look to ascertain elegance, technical expression and material language or to capture a certain atmosphere. A window opening is as much an interval and an opportunity as it is a device for admitting light, air or views; it is simultaneously a physical aperture but also a philosophical opening of collaboration and(...)

Summary:
Windows are moments in modern architecture where we look to ascertain elegance, technical expression and material language or to capture a certain atmosphere. A window opening is as much an interval and an opportunity as it is a device for admitting light, air or views; it is simultaneously a physical aperture but also a philosophical opening of collaboration and reflection. In order to understand the language of a building we might look to the detail of the window. But what does this mean and why does modern architecture invest so much expression in the window? This book explores how the act of detailing and situating windows in buildings is a key proponent in the language of architecture, which both informs and works with the contingencies of design and construction. It investigates 18 case studies in-depth using painstakingly drawn details and vivid photographs in full colour to define what makes these windows “great” and how each window is situated within both its technical and philosophical context and as an overall development of modern architecture.

Summary:
Spurred on by the modernizing impulses of the Second Vatican Council in the early 1960s, the Catholic Church searched for an appropriate architectural language that showed its relevance to the modern world. ''Sacred Modernity'' documents this dramatic shift in ecclesiastical architecture across postwar Europe. Among these structures, some exude a joyful antagonism, while others emanate a cold minimalism. Boldly designed, outrageous and provocative for their time, the aesthetic of this period still ignites great debate between modernists and traditionalists. Half a century on, this study traces how their materials and ideals have matured and patinated. The book represents the first attempt to collate the religious architecture of the mid-century high modern years that took many forms, from Brutalism to Structural Expressionism.
