Summary:
Influenced by post-Bauhaus internationalism, sympathetic to the radical urban architectural vision of Team X, and a participant in the avant-garde movement Metabolism, Maki has been at the forefront of his profession for decades. This collection of essays documents the evolution of architectural modernism and Maki's own fifty-year intellectual journey during a critical period of architectural and urban history. Maki's treatment of his two overarching themes--the contemporary city and modernist architecture--demonstrates strong (and sometimes unexpected) linkages between urban theory and architectural practice. Images and commentary on three of Maki's own works demonstrate the connection between his writing and his designs.

Summary:
Faut-il rappeler qu'André Chastel, grand historien d'art, professeur au Collège de France, a aussi été l'un des chroniqueurs les plus en vue du journal Le Monde? De 1945 à 1988, il y a publié plus de 1500 articles; on trouvera ici un choix de ceux qu'il a consacrés à l'architecture et au patrimoine. Ses articles savaient créer l'événement pour un public assidu, et ils contribuèrent puissamment à susciter une conscience patrimoniale en France. Dès les années de la Reconstruction et tout au long des Trente Glorieuses, on lit dans son action l'engagement d'un homme pour le patrimoine n'est-il pas à l'origine de l'Inventaire général des monuments et des richesses artistiques de la France, créé en 1964 ? Toujours en alerte, c'est lui qui s'engage pour la sauvegarde de la villa Savoye, l'avenir des Halles, la restauration d'Avignon. A l'occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, la présente réédition rend de nouveau accessibles ces pages d'une écriture superbe, aussi précise qu'incisive, où se devine un sentiment profond d'appartenance au territoire. "L'amour [du patrimoine] se manifeste de façon instinctive dans la conscience des terroirs et de façon éclairée dans la démarche du savoir", écrivait-il en 1983.
