Summary:
Anyone who has traveled in Romania or has an interest in the country has admired the striking tradition of exterior house decoration. This book surveys and illustrates the historical forms of Romanian house decoration, elements of innovation in the tradition (in design, materials, methods, etc.) and examines the aesthetics of the designs as well as their metaphorical and symbolic functions. The fieldwork from which the bulk of this book derives was done in a period that represents a watershed point between ancient styles of house decoration and the changing tastes and materials of the modern world. It was during this time that the Communist regime was breaking down and a new order was about to arise. House decoration at that time was a vivid vernacular expression both of the peoples' frustrations and of their unflagging optimism and creativity. The illustrations are beautiful, comprehensive and unique; the bibliography is extensive, with English explanations of all foreign titles.

Summary:
On the occasion of the exhibition "Archilab 2006" dedicated to the Japenese architecture and entitled "Nested in the city", Hyx publish the catalog of the exhibition in french and english version. They present all the projects of thirty invited architects and a set of critical texts which put in perspective the stakes and the subjects of the exhibition. More than any other country, Japan was interested at home, the space domesticates being perceived as a space privileging the thought. Hundred of projects presented in the catalog are built for the greater part. Selected by both curators (Akira Suzuki and Mariko Terada), they offer us a panorama of this architects' new generation which began in the 1990s. The most famous in France are doubtless Shigeru Ban presented to Archilab in 1999 and which was the first one to make approve tubes cardboard as support of his houses and also Kasujo Sejima who saw confiding with Ryue Nishizawa the construction of the Museum of the Louvre to Lens. Symbolic Bow Wow workshop is the Leader of this new generation. After the economic crisis of the end of the 90s, the construction of public establishments of average dimension and the competitions of architecture rarefied. The house thus becomes the space of creation privileged for these architects. That's why, in Tokyo, Jun Aoki, Kazuyo Sejima, Ryue Nishizawa, Takaharu and Yui Tezuka, Mitsuhiko Sato, Taira Nishizawa, Masao Koizumi, Yasuhiro Yamashita, Mikio Tai, Yuki Ishiguro, conceive small houses which embody the way of life of their inhabitants and maybe our future today.
