Summary:
Architectural photographer Jussi Tiainen has skilfully captured in his photographs the versatile nature of concrete, its smoothness and coarseness, strength and sensitivity, hardness and softness, and light and shadow. For this book he has photographed the best of Finnish concrete architecture from recent years – 16 different buildings, ranging from public buildings to a single-family house, and from new buildings to remodelling projects. Among the architects’ offices included are JKMM Architects, Lahdelma & Mahlamäki Architects, and Heikkinen & Komonen Architects. The article at the beginning of the book by architect Maritta Koivisto, edtior-in-chief of the Finnish journal Betoni [Concrete], opens an interesting angle on the uses of concrete in building and architecture.

Summary:
Un ouvrage de référence sur le processus complexe de production d’un bâtiment hospitalier : de l’élaboration du projet médical à la construction et à l’aménagement intérieur, en passant par la programmation et la conception. Rompant avec la politique des modèles, la construction hospitalière a évolué et s’est diversifiée tant d’un point de vue formel que morphologique et fonctionnel. La programmation s’est aussi généralisée et affinée, prenant en compte les besoins du personnel, l’évolution des pratiques médicales et les progrès techniques et technologiques. Sur ce dernier aspect, la robotisation croissante d’un certain nombre de gestes et d’actes médicaux a entraîné des changements importants dans l’organisation fonctionnelle et donc spatiale des bâtiments. L’incidence d’un cadre réglementaire et normatif de plus en plus contraignant est également très forte et, en corollaire, les opérations de restructuration et d’extension sont de plus en plus nombreuses.

Summary:
This wide-ranging book provides for the first time a complete view of German Gothic church architecture. Architectural historian Norbert Nussbaum surveys church construction from the early thirteenth to the early sixteenth century in the German-language regions of medieval Europe. These areas of the Holy Roman Empire--including Bohemia, Austria, northern Switzerland, Alsace, Silesia, and East Prussia--were hereditary fiefdoms at the time, and their diverse cultures contributed to the extreme variety of German Gothic. Nussbaum looks at this rich period of architectural history from many perspectives and offers an informative tour of dozens of German Gothic churches, spectacular for both their beauty and variety. Soon after the Gothic first influenced German builders in the thirteenth century, it developed in several directions, Nussbaum shows. The differences are reflected in the great cathedral lodges of Cologne and Strasbourg, the conscious poverty of form expressed by the Mendicant orders, and red brick churches on the North Sea and Baltic coasts. A fourteenth-century synthesis of these styles was at last achieved in Prague Cathedral, the only great church financed by a German kaiser, Charles IV. In the fifteenth century, German Late Gothic style--unlike the monarchy-supported style of Germanyís neighbors to the west--evolved as cities undertook the financing of parish churches. This period of design culminated with the construction of transcendent churches early in the sixteenth century, characterized by high, sculptured towers and audacious, sometimes fantastic vault structures.
