L’hypothèse est que l’histoire de l’habitat se situe dans un temps long, une longue durée anthropologique, et que les évolutions sont lentes. C’est pourquoi il est nécessaire de s’interroger sur la dimension vernaculaire de l’habitat et, aujourd’hui, sur les relations entre un contexte local et un monde global qui tend précisément à effacer les différences.

Summary:
L’hypothèse est que l’histoire de l’habitat se situe dans un temps long, une longue durée anthropologique, et que les évolutions sont lentes. C’est pourquoi il est nécessaire de s’interroger sur la dimension vernaculaire de l’habitat et, aujourd’hui, sur les relations entre un contexte local et un monde global qui tend précisément à effacer les différences. En Europe, depuis le début du XXe siècle, les caractéristiques des logements se sont établies et généralisées. Comment cette généralisation s’est-elle opérée? Les réponses apportées à cette question permettent de décrire une évolution dans laquelle le présent se situe. Cependant, avec le mode de vie urbain ou métropolitain qui s’est développé et tend à devenir dominant, des formes de l’habitat ont été conçues et réalisées, correspondant à de nouvelles exigences. Il s’agit d’analyser ces formes, en particulier du point de vue de l’idée de communauté qu’elles proposent, et du point de vue de ce que l’on considère être le confort contemporain.

Summary:
''Danish ceramic architecture'' offers a presentation of Danish architecture that has not been seen before. With ceramic and light brick facades as a medium, it narrates a piece of Danish architectural history unknown to most people. It is thus a new way of approaching the Danish architectural treasure – by zooming in on approximately the past 130 years and otherwise overlooked buildings, as well as telling new stories about well-known works. Through essays by and interviews with leading architecture thinkers and practitioners – as well as dozens of projects with facades in ceramic and light tile, by major Danish architectural firms such as Vilhelm Lauritzen, Cobe and BIG – the purpose of the book is to relate ceramic and light tile facades to central Danish (and international) currents in architecture and material. In this way, it will help pointing forward to new forms of architectural expression.

La Maison Folie de Mons, à l’instar du Palais de Tokyo, de l’Espace Lu à Nantes ou encore de la Condition publique à Roubaix, n’a pas le souci de paraître, mais seulement celui d’être au plus près de ceux qui l’habitent, comme le dit Yves Vasseur, le directeur du Théâtre du Manège. Invité à redéfinir simplement les zones d’accueil et d’accès de la salle de théâtre des Arbalestriers dans l’esprit des Maisons Folie qui venaient de voir le jour à Lille en 2004, Matador est parvenu à réaffecter l’ensemble du domaine exploitable. Si la salle de théâtre est restée dans son état initial, Matador, pratiquant une architecture de friche, revendique pleinement l’originalité des concepts d’Espace des possibles et de Margin’halle – ces deux lieux formant, avec la cour centrale, la Maison Folie de Mons

Summary:
Going back to the nineteenth century, Scriver and Srivastava look at the beginnings of modernism in colonial India and the ways that public works and patronage fostered new design practices that directly challenged the social order and values invested in the building traditions of the past. They then trace how India’s architecture embodies the dramatic shifts in Indian society and culture during the last century. Making sense of a broad range of sources, from private papers and photographic collections to the extensive records of the Indian Public Works Department, they provide the most rounded account of modern architecture in India that has yet been available.
