Summary:
Since the invention of the car, the buildings that house them have been a source of inspiration and consternation to architects. Although many dreary car parks and garages do exist, the challenge of efficiently housing a maximum number of cars in a well-designed space has attracted a stellar array of contemporary architects. From the classic circular Marina City tower in Chicago to the Parcheggio Nuovo Salario under construction in Rome, from Frank Gehry to Rem Koolhaas to Zaha Hadid, the form and function of the parking garage have been hugely influential not only on contemporary architects but also on popular culture. This book is at once a survey of the finest examples of parking garages and a presentation of exciting and innovative design. An introduction covers the history and architectural significance of these buildings and their relevance today, and is followed by chapters that define the most influential aspects of parking design: elevations, materials, the use of light, and innovation and experimentation. Featuring detailed plans plus case studies of iconic buildings, this is an indispensable and inspirational resource for professional architects, engineers, urban planners, and developers. 300 illustrations and photographs, 150 in color.

Summary:
Les frontières font débat en Europe : frontières extérieures de l'Union, frontières entre pays, parfois même frontières à l'intérieur de certains pays. Aussi, les discours sur les frontières abondent, pour en décrier l'archaïsme général ou en demander de plus efficaces, ou sur les frontières pertinentes à instaurer ; voire sur les liens entre travail de couture réalisé par les coopérations transfrontalières et besoin de barrières à renforcer sur les bordures externes... Pour les auteurs de ce livre, plutôt que de vivre l'après des frontières politiques, nous sommes face à un gigantesque chantier territorial. Des dynamiques fines et complexes se mettent en place à différents niveaux, retravaillant les échelles territoriales, bousculant des espaces frontaliers, questionnant les identités locales et nationales. Cet ouvrage examine ces processus de recomposition frontalière. Les diverses contributions analysent la morphologie, les acteurs de ces espaces, les définitions identitaires ainsi que les mobilités qui les fondent. Elles révèlent que les frontières internes de l'Europe sont aujourd'hui des laboratoires où s'inventent de nouvelles territorialités. Territorialités hybrides, mobiles et complexes, où se redéfinissent les fondements de l'unité, les identités et les différences. Des territorialités européennes actuelles qui font - aussi et nécessairement - avec les frontières.

Although airports are now best known for interminable waits at check-in counters, liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage, and humiliating shoe-removal rituals at security, they were once the backdrops for jet-setters who strutted, martinis in hand, through curvilinear terminals designed by Eero Saarinen.

Summary:
Although airports are now best known for interminable waits at check-in counters, liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage, and humiliating shoe-removal rituals at security, they were once the backdrops for jet-setters who strutted, martinis in hand, through curvilinear terminals designed by Eero Saarinen. In the critically acclaimed Naked Airport, Alastair Gordon traces the cultural history of this defining institution from its origins in the muddy fields of flying machines to its frontline position in the struggle against international terrorism. From global politics to action movies to the daily commute, Gordon shows how the airport has changed our sense of time, distance, and style, and ultimately the way cities are built and business is done. He introduces the people who shaped and were shaped by this place of sudden transition: pilots like Charles Lindbergh, architects like Le Corbusier, and political figures like Fiorello LaGuardia and Adolf Hitler. Naked Airport is a profoundly original history of a long-neglected yet central component of modern life.

Architecture and Tourism examines the relationship between tourism and the built environment and shows how photography, film, and souvenirs have been deployed to help mediate and mythologize specific sites. It also explores how tourist itineraries, behavior, and literature support larger cultural objectives. Drawing upon case studies in the United States, Cuba, Ghana, Greece, France, Italy, Libya, Mauritius and Spain, Architecture and Tourism explores the touristic experience, representation and meaning of place within distinct cultural contexts. From the former sites of the slave trade on the Ghanean coast to the urban renewal of Old Havana and the honeymoon resorts in the Poconos, this book provides provocative insights into the practice of tourism and the conception of place.

Summary:
From its invention in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, the automobile crisscrossed the world, completely took over the cities, and became a feature of daily life. Considered basic to the American lifestyle, the car reflected individualism, pragmatism, comfort, and above all modernity. In Latin America, it served as a symbol of distinction, similar to jewelry or fine clothing. In The Cultural Life of the Automobile, Guillermo Giucci focuses on the automobile as an instrument of social change through its "kinetic modernity" and as an embodiment of the tremendous social impact of technology on cultural life. Material culture--how certain objects generate a wide array of cultural responses--has been the focus of much scholarly discussion in recent years. The automobile wrought major changes and inspired images in language, literature, and popular culture. Focusing primarily on Latin America but also covering the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa, Giucci examines how the automobile was variously adapted by different cultures and how its use shaped and changed social and economic relationships within them. At the same time, he shows how the "automobilization" of society became an essential support for the development of modern individualism, and the automobile its clearest material manifestation.

Tout a commencé par la décision d’une rencontre, et la réciprocité qu’elle enclenche ; c’est la première scène : décider d’y aller voir de plus près. Michel Agier et Sara Prestianni décrivent dans cet ouvrage des « jungles », campements et squats à Patras, Rome, Calais et Paris. Ce sont des refuges où l’on s’abrite dans un contexte hostile, des lieux où des habitants en transit s’inventent un quotidien dans le temps de l’attente. Leur hospitalité, leur sourire et leur désir d’autrui ont un sens politique qui déroute les politiques de la « guerre aux migrants ». Aux commentaires qui associent trop souvent leur condition précaire à des existences inférieures, ils opposent par leurs regards droits, par leurs gestes et leur manière d’habiter ces lieux, une présence digne. michel agier, anthropologue, est directeur d’études à l’EHESS.
