Summary:
Avant que le moteur à explosion ne s'impose définitivement comme nouvelle source d'énergie mécanique, le cheval intervenait dans tous les secteurs d'activités, commerce, déplacements, transport, travail de la terre, communication, vie militaire, sans oublier le domaine artistique et architectural. La nécessité d'entretenir les chevaux conduisit donc à la construction d'importants complexes architecturaux -strictement utilitaires à la Renaissance ou sophistiqués et fastueux aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles - qui leur étaient alors entièrement consacrés. Les très nombreuses écuries encore présentes en France, les remises à voitures, les manèges qui les accompagnent parfois, constituent un patrimoine architectural remarquable par son ampleur et par sa diversité. Jouxtant la demeure dont ils dépendaient, ces bâtiments sont des témoins irremplaçables de la vie que l'on menait dans les châteaux français.

Selon Laget, cette méthode a été mise en oeuvre dans le cadre d'un projet global conçu par le prince Khoufou (Khéops) lui-même, terminé lors de son accession au trône et réalisé avant son décès. La conception n'implique que les savoirs et outils de l'époque attestés par l'égyptologie ainsi que l'utilisation du tracé régulateur et d'une numération spécifique. L'auteur démontre que Khoufou utilise les principes d'un procédé qui sera fixé beaucoup plus tard par les architectes grecs et ceux de la Renaissance pour la conception de nombreuses oeuvres.

Summary:
The Domestic Scene reveals Niedecken as a forward-looking designer influenced by European Art Nouveau and Secessionist design as well as by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Cheryl Robertson focuses on three examples of Niedecken’s commissions and an article by Niedecken himself (reprinted in this volume) to explore the evolving relationship between architect, interior designer, and client in the first quarter of the twentieth century. This expanded second edition includes updated photography, additional color images, and an essay by John C. Eastberg that deepens our understanding of Niedecken’s career by presenting his lesser-known work in the context of Milwaukee’s artistic and social history. Niedecken worked also in the Colonial and Renaissance Revival modes, and these works illustrate his versatility as a designer and entrepreneur.

Dépassant les catégories habituelles, "Dessin/chantier" cherche à analyser comment se produit la valeur dans un monde dominé par la marchandise. Le propos tranche par son approche idéologique à l’opposé du libéralisme actuel. L’auteur est marqué par les luttes des années 60 au Brésil, par la violence faite aux ouvriers bâtissant Brasilia. Alors le voici parti à la recherche d’une autre pratique de l’architecture et de son édification, une pratique heureuse passant par un changement radical des rapports de production. Avant-propos de Vincent Michel.

The present publication therefore presents detailed portraits of around twenty model-making workshops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, providing ready reference and giving architects easy access to information about modern methods of architectural model-making. The changes affecting the model-making profession in the age of computer-aided design are discussed and, in an introductory essay by writer and historian Ansgar Oswald, the role this centuries-old craft played in the context of European architecture from the Renaissance to the present day is portrayed. The book speaks up for architectural model-making as an indispensable stage in the design process and an expressive means of decision-making.

Son créateur, Pierre François Léonard Fontaine, lauréat du grand prix de Rome en 1785 puis architecte de Napoléon réalisa ici une œuvre complexe, qui, tout en reflétant les goûts décoratifs de son époque, est riche des emprunts au monde antique, à la tradition classique française, mais aussi à l'Italie du Moyen Age et de la Renaissance. Cette œuvre subtile, longtemps déprisée pour des raisons politiques, est à redécouvrir comme une des réalisations les plus élégantes et sophistiquées du Paris du début du XIXe siècle.

It includes a chronological survey of Taylor’s drawings from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s, highlighting the combination of technical refinement, humor, and sensuousness that characterizes his works on paper. Reproductions of the works, which were inspired by such ordinary things as tin cans, pet s tains, and broomsticks, reveal the drawings’ minute details, nuanced shading, and playfully agile pencil lines. Texts explore how the rich and complex visual sensibilities of Taylor’s drawings resonate with that of late Renaissance and Baroque Old Masters. The book also examines Taylor’s innovative approach to process and materials, such as photocopier toner, with its intense black, and the extreme white of correction fluid.

Since 2005, the acclaimed photographic duo Marchand/Meffre have been traveling across the US to visit these early 20th-century relics. They have captured the architectural diversity of the theaters’ exteriors, from neo renaissance to neo-Gothic, art nouveau to Bauhaus, and neo-Byzantine to Jugendstill. They have also stepped inside to capture the commonalities of a dying culture— crumbling plaster, rows of broken crushed-velvet seats, peeling paint, defunct equipment, and abandoned concession stands—as well as their transformation into bingo halls, warehouses, fitness centers, flea markets, parking lots, and grocery stores.
