La décomposition affecte la matière organique, mais aussi le minéral et le synthétique, transformant les infrastructures construites en ruines.

Summary:
La décomposition affecte la matière organique, mais aussi le minéral et le synthétique, transformant les infrastructures construites en ruines. Métaphoriquement, on associe ces phénomènes à l’effritement des structures politiques et économiques ou à la destruction de notre civilisation. Mais la décomposition est aussi promesse de renaissance. Comment, dans un monde qui s’effondre, imaginer cette renaissance ? Ce numéro propose de contourner le dégout afin de percevoir la beauté dans la matière pourrissante pour découvrir d’autres manières d’envisager notre déclin. Il s’agit de fouiller nos décombres afin d’en extraire les substances qui nous permettront de nourrir l’art et de réfléchir le monde à venir.

Summary:
Christopher Tadgell covers the major architectural traditions of the Middle Ages, from the Romanesque architecture of the 9th and 10th centuries, built on the legacy of ancient Rome and including elements from Carolingian, Ottonian, Byzantine and northern European traditions, through to the evolution of the Gothic which heralded new, structurally daring architecture. The book ends with the Italian rediscovery of Classical ideas and ideals and the emergence of the great Renaissance theorists and architects, including Brunelleschi, Alberti, and Bramante. As well as the palazzos, villas and churches of Renaissance Italy, this period saw the building of great chateaux in France, palaces in Germany and the golden-domed cathedrals of Russia.

Summary:
Since Greek antiquity, the human body has been regarded as a microcosm of universal harmony. In this book, an international group of architects, architectural historians, and theorists examines the relation of the human body and architecture. The essays view well-known buildings, texts, paintings, ornaments, and landscapes from the perspective of the body's physical, psychological, and spiritual needs and pleasures. Topics include Greek temples; the churches of Tadao Ando in Japan; Renaissance fortresses and paintings; the body, space, and dwelling in Wright's and Schindler's houses in North America; the corporeal dimension of Carlo Scarpa's landscapes and gardens; theory from Vitruvius to the Renaissance and Enlightenment; and Freudian psychoanalysis. The essays are framed by an appreciation of architectural historian and theorist Joseph Rykwert's influential work on the subject.
