Summary:
Kosovo’s Mitrovica is a divided city. The bridge separating the Serb North and the Albanian South is one of the emblematic sites in the ongoing dispute over Kosovo. Beneath this layer of ethno-political division and post-conflict reconstruction, however, lies the fascinating heritage of the city's rapid industrial and urban development under the Socialist Yugoslav ideological premises. "Layers of Time in the Urban Landscape" is a cooperative endeavor at the intersection of photography and history, aiming to document the overlaps in the socialist and post-conflict transformations of the city of Mitrovica.

Summary:
Ces actes rendent compte des réflexions soulevées lors du colloque international "Facadisme et identité urbaine" organisé par la Direction de l'architecture et du patrimoine et Icomos international, en janvier 1999 à Paris. L'ouvrage pose le problème du développement du façadisme en Europe et au-delà, et analyse les expériences mises en place pour en conserver la maîtrise dans le centre des villes. Articulé autour de trois grands axes, il explore les différents aspects de l'histoire du traitement des façades et de leurs fonctions. These proceedings give an account of the issues raised during the international conference "Façadism and Urban Identity" organized by the Department of Architecture and Heritage and Icomos International during January 1999 in Paris. Putting forward the question of the development of façadism in Europe and beyond, this work also analyses the measures adopted to bring it under control in the city centres. Centred on three main themes, various aspects in the history of the treatment of façades and their function are explored.

The long period in-between demolition or renovation of a building site and the arrival of a new building can often impose a sad and somewhat ugly sight on a neighbourhood, however it can also offer possibilities to give a new and dynamic impulse. Hotel Transvaal, which lies in the neighbourhood of Transvaal, in The Hague, Netherlands, is such a source of inspiration. More(...)

Summary:
The long period in-between demolition or renovation of a building site and the arrival of a new building can often impose a sad and somewhat ugly sight on a neighbourhood, however it can also offer possibilities to give a new and dynamic impulse. Hotel Transvaal, which lies in the neighbourhood of Transvaal, in The Hague, Netherlands, is such a source of inspiration. More than half of the social housing in this neighbourhood was demolished, however many of the finest rooms could be temporarily booked up until the moment of demolition. The interiors of the ‘hotel’ rooms were designed by artists and shop-owners from the neighbourhood. This book explores the development and realisation of the project.
