Ce livre est une célébration des petits édifices, cabanes, kiosques et pavillons que l'on rencontre au détour d'une rue ou d'un chemin. Audacieuses et souvent insolites, ces micro-architectures constituent un ensemble hétéroclite dont le seul dénominateur commun est la petite taille.

Summary:
Ce livre est une célébration des petits édifices, cabanes, kiosques et pavillons que l'on rencontre au détour d'une rue ou d'un chemin. Audacieuses et souvent insolites, ces micro-architectures constituent un ensemble hétéroclite dont le seul dénominateur commun est la petite taille. Étant donné la variété des fonctions et des styles qui les caractérisent, il est clair que la taille n'impose aucune limite à la créativité et que l'utilité n'est pas contradictoire avec la beauté. À travers les projets les plus innovants du moment, "XS" témoigne de l'originalité de ces structures et montre que «penser petit» peut s'avérer un exercice merveilleux et collectif.

Summary:
For many architects he is a landmark - Jean Prouvé, creator of the metal curtain wall, pioneer in its application and early initiator of industrialised building techniques. His unfailing ability to combine functional engineering achievements with artistic sensitivity commands recognition. The period covered in this latest volume is significant in many respects. The post-war years placed enormous demands on housing and school construction. In his Maxéville factory Prouvé developed pre-fabricated housing, facade panelling, light filtering and other systems on a large scale. He was inspired by the works of the automobile and aeronautics industry, developing new applications for aluminium, which he presented in the 1954 Aluminium Centenary Pavilion. Moreover, Prouvé's furnitures of this period have become valuable collectors' items, some of which are now being reissued under licence.

Summary:
How exactly do small towns become suburbs? How do country roads turn into commercial strips? And what can planners do to prevent these changes in the future? Using the state of Vermont as the rural ideal, the authors compare contemporary vs. traditional development to demonstrate how today's primary way of developing land - suburban sprawl - is forever changing the look of rural American. Using a host of aerial photographs - many altered through computer simulation to illustrate how landscapes are transformed over time - "Above and beyond" argues for a return to traditional development patterns that produce more compact cities and towns. Highlighting widespread trends in contemporary land development - from fragmentation (our tendency to spread out) to separation (our tendencey to allocate separate areas of town for living, working, shopping and playing) - the authors offer case examples of coummunities that have succeeded in curbing those trends. They show how these communities have invigorated their town centers; lured home buyers back to town; integrated working, shopping and recreation areas; nurtured a sense of identity and community; rewritten land-use regulations to allow for more compact developing; and overcome the "cars rule" mentality of suburban development.

Jardins ouvriers, jardins familiaux, schrebergärten, kleigärten, quatre dénominations désignant le même phénomène : une petite parcelle qu'une association chargée de gérer des terrains appartenant à un particulier, à une municipalité ou à l'État, alloue contre le paiement d'une minime redevance annuelle, à un citoyen méritant ou en détresse. Menacés par l'urbanisation et par l'élévation du niveau de vie, ces jardins ont-ils encore une raison d'être? Apporteraient-ils un fragment de réponse en ouvrant ces lieux de convivialité, ainsi qu'un autre type de solution en proposant le "vert utile"?
