Chantée par les sagas de la colonisation, mise en scène par Hollywood, pôle d'attraction pour les Européens et les Marocains, Casablanca est d'abord une collection exceptionnelle d'espaces urbains, de maisons, de jardins. Les auteurs retracent de 1900 à 1960 la renaissance d'un port presque oublié et sa métamorphose en métropole tumultueuse, façonnée par toutes les cultures méditerranéennes. Les bâtiments significatifs de cette ville métisse sont analysés à partir des archives françaises et marocaines et présentés par des centaines de photographies inédites. Revivent ainsi les clients, les habitants et les architectes inventifs formant la trame humaine d'une scène incomprise mais essentielle de la modernité. Traduit en anglais en 2002, Casablanca a eu un impact incontestable sur les politiques patrimoniales marocaines. Des compléments et des précisions sont apportées à l'édition de 1998.

Summary:
In the three centuries from 1450 to 1750 painters, sculptors, and architects emerged from the medieval craft guilds of Italy to claim a new social status as creators, whose gorgeous handiwork, now called "art," expressed lofty inspiration as much as manual skill.

Summary:
In the three centuries from 1450 to 1750 painters, sculptors, and architects emerged from the medieval craft guilds of Italy to claim a new social status as creators, whose gorgeous handiwork, now called "art," expressed lofty inspiration as much as manual skill. In "The lies of the artists", Ingrid Rowland takes us into the world of these artists, and into their seemingly miraculous ways of transforming transcendent ideas into tangible works of art that challenged and redefined reality, "lies" with the power to reveal a deeper truth. As the great art patron Daniele Barbaro wrote: "bisogna aprire gli occhi," or "you have to open your eyes." And this is precisely what Rowland does in these essays, bringing her knowledge, keen perception, and singular wit to bear on the art and lives of Renaissance masters.

Ce faisant, elle prend son essor, que l’on pourrait qualifier d’ailleurs de phénoménologique, anticipant à certains égards la pensée de Merleau-Ponty. En outre, il développe une approche synesthésique du monde et de l’espace.

Après une introduction sur les origines méditerranéennes et arabes du jardin, la Renaissance italienne dévoile ses jardins qui reflètent la relation entre l'homme et l'espace.

La nature sauvage et impétueuse trouve sa revanche dans l'esprit qui caractérise le parc anglais du XVIIIe siècle, tandis que le jardin allemand du XIXe siècle développe l'idée de cohabitation entre les grands espaces publics et les magnifiques jardins privés.

Summary:
Mai-Thu Perret examines the relentless movement of capitalism as it absorbs and defeats what were once revolutionary forms, focusing on the aestheticization of historical avant-gardes to reflect the changing realities of utopian thinking. Her major, ongoing project "The Crystal Frontier," begun in 1999, comprises fictional diary entries and letters written by a group of disillusioned women exiled in the New Mexico desert, as well as myriad artworks that Perret describes as their "hypothetical products." Born in 1975 in Geneva, where she lives and works, Perret studied at Cambridge University and the Whitney Independent Study Program, New York. This comprehensive artist's book, Perret's first monograph, includes a selection of her writings and a specially designed collage of references. Perret's work has recently been seen at The Renaissance Society in Chicago.

Summary:
Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) was by turns businessman, soldier, playwright, herald and architect of some of the most important country houses of his era. In this book architectural historian Vaughan Hart draws on these diverse interests to examine afresh Vanbrugh's surviving, destroyed and unrealised buildings as well as the designs he executed in collaboration with Nicholas Hawksmoor. It was the fate of Vanbrugh's buildings to be at first maligned and then misunderstood. Hart outlines the contemporary political and social events which influenced the architect and shows how his strikingly original houses, such as those as Seaton Delaval and Grimsthorpe, can be interpreted through reference to classical mythology, renaissance fortifications and medieval houses. Vaughan Hart is Professor of Architecture in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of Bath.
