Summary:
Using facts, anecdotes, and personal observation, architect and longtime advocate for the preservation of American architecture Harvey H. Kaiser leads the reader through more than 200 places of interest across the United States. Covering the entire nation and presented by region, this book takes the reader on a journey through recognizable icons such as the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Arch, and the USS Arizona. The extraordinary rustic buildings of the National Parks at Yellowstone, Carter Lake, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon are explored as well as frontier military forts and trading posts like Fort Sumter, Bent's Old Fort, and Fort Clatsop. There are the southwestern sites of the mysterious Anasazi and Chaco cultures and missions of San Antonio, Tumacacori, Pecos, and Salinas Pueblo. Kaiser's descriptions let readers not only feel as if they have shared the experience of these places but also gain a solid understanding of why the architecture is significant to American history.

Summary:
Damas, capitale de la Syrie contemporaine, adossée à la chaîne de l’Anti-Liban à la frange des immensités de la steppe syrienne, est bien connue des historiens du monde arabe. Si les travaux de Jean Sauvaget, d’André Raymond et de leurs successeurs permettent d’en dresser un tableau détaillé pour les périodes médiévale et moderne, le tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles a été assez peu étudié1. C’est de cette époque dont il est question dans ce livre. A ce moment-là, Damas est touchée par d’importantes transformations ; de nouvelles modalités de développement et de modernisation de l’espace urbain se mettent en place. L’organisation administrative de l’Empire ottoman connaît alors de multiples réformes, la législation en matière de contrôle de l’urbanisation et le mode de gestion des villes sont totalement renouvelés.

Summary:
As community becomes a more dominant paradigm in how architecture is produced, more people become involved in its creation. This implies a change in the role of the architect from being an individual author to a facilitator, from being an independent expert to establishing and managing collaboration. With a wealth of detailed analysis and clear, well-designed graphics, this volume offers practical tools for a truly collaborative architecture that is based on analysis, management, data collection and design. Avilla-Royo demonstrates how the architectural project becomes an instrument for citizen involvement in decision-making and how citizen involvement offers an exciting opportunity to improve the design and everyday uses of architecture.

Le guide « Paris postmoderne – Architectures 1973-1993 » propose au promeneur, simple curieux ou professionnel, de revenir sur ces oeuvres parisiennes et métropolitaines, recouvertes par le passage d’un demi-siècle. Bientôt patrimoine mais encore puériles, singulières, parfois insolites et souvent fragiles, certaines ont durablement imprimé nos rétines et nos imaginaires, tandis que d’autres ont préféré se réfugier dans un silence inquiet. Cet ouvrage sonne l’heure du réveil en proposant un premier inventaire de près de 600 bâtiments illustrés.

From those made in the 1960s at Archigram to the present day, Cook's colorful, highly detailed images resonate beyond the architectural sphere, as seen in his major solo exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2022. Cook's work pushes the boundaries of architectural norms of design and construction, with the freedom to imagine buildings, communities and cities that are, as he succinctly puts it, "possible or maybe nearly possible, but importantly, not consciously impossible."
