Quelle est l'identité architecturale de Paris ? Sur quelles dispositions presque inconscientes repose le visage, si familier qu'on ne le détaille jamais, des rues de la capitale ? Comment au cours des siècles, s'est constituée l'architecture parisienne, et possède-t-elle des caractéristiques spécifiques ? Comment des débats, menés à un niveau international, ont-ils trouvé des applications parisiennes qui se sont imprégnées de la spécificité locale ? Et comment imaginer le Paris contemporain, en construisant l'architecture qui sera le patrimoine de demain, sans nostalgie mais en s'inscrivant dans une culture originale ? Autant de questions posées ici, de manière concrète, pour que Paris reste une capitale habitée, vivante, et en perpétuel devenir.

Summary:
Consacré à l'architecture des bibliothèques contemporaines, cet ouvrage retrace le parcours historique des modèles d'organisation d'espaces dédiés à la conservation de la mémoire écrite ; il s'interroge sur les schémas actuels de fonctionnement d'une institution vieille de plus de deux mille ans et pourtant en perpétuelle évolution. Partant des premiers rouleaux cachés dans les niches des temples, Aldo De Poli analyse les origines lointaines de l'édifice "bibliothèque". Du Moyen Age à la Renaissance, il nous fait découvrir ces espaces, toujours plus identifiables et mieux conçus, destinés à devenir au fil du temps des institutions ouvertes au public.
