One of the most referential architectural spaces in Lisbon, the Gulbenkian Foundation complex is a Portuguese architectural masterpiece made possible by the collective work of five architects.

Summary:
L’une des plus prestigieuses écoles d’art au monde définit un nouveau paradigme pédagogique en décloisonnant les disciplines architecture et design industriel. ECAL chez Le Corbusier est un hommage au grand architecte pour marquer les 125 ans de sa naissance. C’est aussi et surtout une rencontre entre un maître et des élèves – entre Le Corbusier et les étudiants de l’ECAL/École cantonale d'art de Lausanne. Imaginer puis produire des objets pour la Villa « Le Lac » de Le Corbusier, à Corseaux, tel est le projet conçu par Elric Petit, responsable du Bachelor en Design industriel à l'ECAL, et Chris Kabel, professeur à l'ECAL. Le projet dépasse vite le cadre d’un enseignement classique : le potentiel du site, l’inventivité mise en œuvre dans ce travail et la qualité des réalisations ont conduit naturellement à l’idée d’une exposition in situ. Les contraintes liées au lieu (proximité du lac, intégration du paysage) et à la nature du bâtiment (premier exemple d’architecture moderne de Suisse, monument historique d’importance nationale) se sont révélées une véritable gageure pour les étudiants et ont joué un rôle de révélateur de talents.

Construire des bâtiments tout en favorisant la biodiversité: utopie ou réalité ? Ce deuxième guide de la collection Natureparif, destinée aux acteurs économiques et aux décideurs, se propose de répondre à cette question. A l'heure où le secteur de la construction se tourne vers l'efficacité énergétique, la biodiversité est la grande oubliée. Elle connaît pourtant sa sixième crise d'extinction et notre avenir est lié à son maintien. En choisissant de traiter une à une les étapes d'un projet: la conception, la construction, l'exploitation, la fin de vie et la rénovation, sous la forme de fiches techniques, Natureparif offre des pistes pour concilier développement économique et amélioration de la biodiversité, grâce aux regards croisés de différents acteurs: urbanistes, architectes, entreprises du BTP, bailleurs sociaux, paysagistes, écologues ou élus.

Summary:
From early reports of the invention to its wide application during World War I, the idea of photography created anticipation and participation in the modern world. The first volume of ''A History of Photography in Canada'' captures this phenomenon by looking at hundreds of photographs generated in and about Canada-in-the-making and by listening to the chords they struck in the collective imagination. Emphasizing technological readiness and cultural eagerness for the medium, Martha Langford shows how photography served ideals of progress and improvement as Canada’s settler society looked to master the world by seizing its visible traces. The imposition of these programs on Indigenous Peoples and indentured labourers is confronted throughout this volume, which offers both narratives and counternarratives of subjectification. Reproducing images of people, places, events, and objects from the unceded territories of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, from British North America, and from the Dominion of Canada and the Dominion of Newfoundland, Langford asks where and when photographs were taken, why, and by whom. How did the making and preservation of a photograph alter the circumstances in which it was produced, and how did this affect individual and collective consciousness? Alongside accomplished portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and their vernacular counterparts, the book draws glimmers of photographic experience from treatises and doggerel, official reports and personal diaries, newspapers, magazines, letters, and travelogues.
