Summary:
Ce livre retrace la généalogie des pratiques décoratives de la photographie et leurs usages dans l’architecture du milieu du XIXe siècle à nos jours. Émergeant dès les années 1850, au moment de l’essor des arts industriel, les pratiques décoratives de la photographie contribuent au renouvellement et à la transformation des formes traditionnelles d’ornementation tout au long du XXe siècle et encore aujourd’hui. À travers un corpus inédit, Brenda Lynn Edgar explore une manière proprement photographique de créer l’ornementation architecturale, aussi bien dans la décoration intérieure que sur les façades et dans l’espace urbain.

Summary:
Located at Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam, the new Ichthus University of Professional Education is clearly inspired by the architecture of the surrounding docklands. Designed by (EEA) Erick van Egeraat associated architects, it is a supremely transparent building of glass and steel. Nor is it only the building's transparency that is extraordinary. Behind the energy-efficient glazing resides a unique construction that includes an atrium, a 'learning platform', suspended 'studyscapes' and freely subdivisible floors. The building is therefore representative not only of the architect's qualities but equally of the client's vision of an open and flexible setting for higher education. Photography by Daria Scagliola, Stijn Brakkee Design by Reynoud Homan and Robbert Zweegman

Summary:
Opened in 1971, Denver Art Museum's north building, a seven-story structure--with its distinctive cut-out roofline, narrow windows, and an exterior covered with more than a million custom-made glass tiles--was one of the first high-rise art museums. In 2020, after a two-year closure for renovations, the museum is reopening the Ponti building, which will include new architecture and design galleries featuring an exhibition of Ponti-designed objects from the Denver Art Museum and local collections. The book will include both recent and historic photography, including many architectural details, and tell the story of how Gio Ponti, at the end of his long and remarkable career, created an architectural icon in the American West.
