Summary:
La couleur serait-elle une nouveauté en architecture? Sa forte présence actuelle a-t-elle des précédents, ou bien est-elle le dernier épisode, paroxystique, de l’ère postmoderne, le signe global d’une architecture décomplexée, dénitivement détachée des pesanteurs dogmatiques du XXe siècle? De quel débat la couleur participe-t-elle réellement? D’un débat sur la forme, le(...)

La couleur serait-elle une nouveauté en architecture? Sa forte présence actuelle a-t-elle des précédents, ou bien est-elle le dernier épisode, paroxystique, de l’ère postmoderne, le signe global d’une architecture décomplexée, dénitivement détachée des pesanteurs dogmatiques du XXe siècle? De quel débat la couleur participe-t-elle réellement? D’un débat sur la forme, le style, l’ornement, le revêtement, ou plutôt sur la ville et ses règlements — lesquels ne comportent, pour Paris, aucune prescription particulière à ce propos —, sur l’économie du projet? De tous ces débats cumulés? Peut-être. La couleur a manifestement le mérite de susciter des questions, auxquelles il serait vain de prétendre apporter autant de réponses. Nous nous limiterons pour l’heure à la première: la couleur, nouveau matériau architectural, nouvelle donne pour la ville? L’histoire, on le verra, apporte des preuves régulières du contraire. En revanche, il est possible que l’architecture de ce début de XXIe siècle soit la plus colorée jamais produite jusqu’alors; et ce seul constat impose que l’on s’interroge sur les origines et les développements de ce phénomène, dans une ville historiquement considérée comme monochrome ou presque: Paris.

Featuring assessments of architectural examples ranging from Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building to Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate, as well as vintage photographs, advertisements, and posters, this book argues that new audiences and client groups with tastes rooted in popular entertainment made their presence felt in the cultural marketplace during the postwar period.

Summary:
Architecture is bound up with our daily lives but, for most of us, it is experienced as a blur of habit. Our reactions towards the buildings that surround us are often culturally generated, and we experience them in ways that are immediate but often mundane. "How to enjoy architecture: A guide for everyone" encourages us to move beyond this and, instead, really look at buildings. Renowned architect Charles Holland talks about the buildings and architects that excite and inspire him, and the ideas and principles through which we can engage with architecture. By breaking buildings down into categories such as materials, structure, space, and use, Holland guides us through drastically different styles and building types—from the satisfying symmetry of a Queen Anne house to the thrill of a high-tech tower, or the social ideals that lie behind a housing estate. In doing so, he demonstrates how looking at, experiencing, and using architecture can bring joy in itself.
