Summary:
This is the first major book to study English architecture between 1945 and 1975 in its entirety. Challenging previous scholarship on the subject and uncovering vast amounts of new material at the boundaries between architectural and social history, Elain Harwood structures the book around building types to reveal why the architecture takes the form it does. Buildings of all budgets and styles are examined, from major universities to the modest café. The book is illustrated with stunning new photography that reveals the logic, aspirations, and beauty of hundreds of buildings throughout England, at the point where many are disappearing or are being mutilated.

Summary:
Christian de Portzamparc est le seul architecte français à avoir été lauréat du plus que prestigieux prix Pritzker, l'équivalent du prix Nobel pour l'architecture. On lui doit, entre autres, la Cité de la musique et le café Beaubourg à Paris, la tour LVMH à New York (la seule édifiée par un Français) et la toute récente ambassade de France à Berlin. Architecte résolument contemporain, il perpétue néanmoins la grande tradition classique. Son écriture architecturale est tout à la fois fluide et dense, élégante et affirmée, poétique et rigoureuse. Portrait de l'artiste en architecte, ce livre explore tout autant la pensée que la pratique de Christian Portzamparc.

Summary:
Être là, dans un lieu défini, qu'est-ce que cela veut dire ? Quiconque s'est déjà adossé à un mur, ou s'est assis à la terrasse d'un café, ou s'est replié dans un coin, sait de quoi il est question : une inscription dans un monde bordé, qualifié, dessiné. C'est une affaire de limites, de calages, de blocages, d'articulations concrètes et, finalement, de fabrication(...)

Être là, dans un lieu défini, qu'est-ce que cela veut dire ? Quiconque s'est déjà adossé à un mur, ou s'est assis à la terrasse d'un café, ou s'est replié dans un coin, sait de quoi il est question : une inscription dans un monde bordé, qualifié, dessiné. C'est une affaire de limites, de calages, de blocages, d'articulations concrètes et, finalement, de fabrication d'espaces organisés. Pour étudier cette expérience pratique du lieu, et pour analyser les règles de sa constitution, un architecte et un sociologue urbain ont mis en commun leurs approches, en les appuyant aussi bien sur des citations poétiques que sur de très nombreux documents photographiques choisis pour leur valeur de démonstration.
