Summary:
The pub scene across the world is characterised by its casual warmth and conviviality. It has none of the pretences or formality of a restaurant or cocktail bar. It is the relaxed setting in which friends and strangers alike can choose to meet. The pub is where we go to celebrate a special occasion with a group of chums, but also where we might go to flirt intimately with a prospective lover. It is a comfortable destination for seeking out the company of others. Whether located on a street corner in the Scottish Highlands, Munich or New Zealand, a favourite pub is defined by its own distinct atmosphere and character. Pubs are distinguished as much by their interior décor, as by the beer and liquor they sell and the customers that mingle around the bar. These qualities combine to give a 'local' its particular appeal, with a draw far beyond its immediate locality. These very unique, idiosyncratic attributes of pubs, which were once taken for granted, are now in real danger of extinction, as bar chains with standardised designs and drinks' menus are rolled out across city centres and main streets. Turning its back on the trend towards homogeneity of today's watering holes, "Pub Scene" celebrates the often exuberant, sometimes elegant décor, and always singular, wow factor of public drinking places, whether they are big or small, traditional or contemporary. Author Jane Peyton describes some of the world's best looking pubs, including British Victorian Gin Palaces, classic Art Nouveau Belgian café bars, Germany's Beloved bierkellers, Australia's amazing beachside beer-gardens and America's notable brew-pubs.

Summary:
Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), architecte du roi. Créateur inspiré du siècle des Lumières, bâtisseur visionnaire, utopiste et écrivain d'inspiration maçonnique, l'architecte Claude Nicolas Ledoux exerça d'abord son art avec succès comme ingénieur et dans le domaine privé sous le règne de Louis XV. Protégé de Mme du Barry, il édifia - outre de nombreux hôtels particuliers - le pavillon de Louveciennes, le château de Bénouville, celui de Maupertuis et réalisa la décoration du Café militaire. Puis, architecte du roi, il construisit sous Louis XVI la saline d'Arc-et-Senans commandée par Louis XV avant sa mort et les barrières de Paris ; en province, avec la construction du théâtre de Besançon, il fit progresser la réforme des lieux de spectacle. Tombé en disgrâce à la Révolution, il fut incarcéré à la Force en 1793. Empêché d'exercer, il commence la rédaction de "L'architecture considérée sous le rapport de l'art, des mœurs et de La législation". Ce texte, superbement illustré de projets grandioses qui rendent compte de la surprenante modernité de sa vision, offre à la postérité toute l'étendue de la puissance créatrice de Ledoux et une solide réflexion sur l'implication sociale et politique de l'architecture. Lors des réformes urbanistiques de Paris au XIXe siècle, ses constructions furent pour les trois quarts détruites. En s'appuyant sur ce qu'il reste encore actuellement de ses édifices, sur les estampes de ses projets et réalisations ainsi que sur ses écrits, qui témoignent de ses aspirations, cet ouvrage propose de retracer le parcours de Ledoux à travers une étude approfondie de son œuvre. Cette étude s'accompagne de celle, indissociable, du contexte historique particulièrement mouvementé dans lequel Ledoux vécut et s'articule autour d'une analyse sensible de la question du progrès des arts.

Summary:
SO–IL is an architecture firm born in New York in 2008. Diverse in origin, their team of collaborators speaks a dozen languages and is informed by global narratives and perspectives. Both locally-rooted and nationless, they explore how the creation of environments and objects inspires lasting positive intellectual and societal engagement. Amant is an arts campus spread across three blocks in rapidly changing, industrial North Brooklyn. This cultural incubator functions both privately, and publicly, with artist studios, galleries, offices, storage, and a cafe. Rather than an inward-looking space isolated from its urban context, the collection of distributed volumes weaves itself into the fabric of the city. The mini-campus is a part of, benefits from, and contributes to the local community. Pockets of outdoor spaces, multiple entries, and openings cohabit the ground with other members of the neighbourhood.
