Summary:
In the first half of the 20th century, when architecture and literature dreamed of transparency, glass was the material these dreams were made of. However, the historiography of both fields usually focuses on a few canonical works by male authors to tell the story of this shared fascination.

Summary:
In the first half of the 20th century, when architecture and literature dreamed of transparency, glass was the material these dreams were made of. However, the historiography of both fields usually focuses on a few canonical works by male authors to tell the story of this shared fascination. Departing from this imbalance, this essay takes the opportunity to explore the glass culture of modernity through the lens of female projects whose stories often take place simultaneously on different continents. While the former silent film actress Evelyn Word Leigh builds a glass house for herself in Nyack, New York, artists and writers based in Europe – like Claude Cahun, Anaïs Nin, and Hilda ‘H.D.’ Doolittle – flesh out imaginary glass domes as construction sites of artistic subjectivities. Whether homes or domes, these creative women used glass environments to question and renegotiate their assigned places in Western societies, challenging the boundaries of female agency.

Saint-Pierre-des-Corps apparaît comme une ville de passage, tapie entre la Loire et le Cher, irriguée par le chemin de fer, démarquée de Tours par une autoroute. Née avec l’industrie, la cité ne compte qu’un monument historique: une locomotive à vapeur, la Pacific Chapelon 231 E 41. La ville des ouvriers et des cheminots recèle pourtant bien d’autres trésors industriels, comme l’usine Doubinski ou l’immense nef de béton armé de l’ancien Magasin général de la SNCF. C’est aussi une ville de mémoire. Détruite lors des deux guerres, elle a été reconstruite par des architectes sensibles et cultivés comme Jean-Marie Hardion, Emile Labadie, puis Jean Dorian qui ont recréé un habitat peu dense, semé de squares et de jardins. Derrière la ville moderne perdurent les puits, les maraîchages de jadis et les rottes, ces chemins furtifs mènent à des jardins cachés. Saint-Pierre-des-Corps est aussi un espace de création.

Drawing from the exuberant architectural projects of the 1940s to the 1960s, as well as from socially engaged artistic practices of the present day, the essays in this collection reveal how the heroic visions and utopian ideals popular in architectural discourse during the modernist era bore complicated legacies for Latin America - the consequences of which are evident in such vastly uneven economic conditions and socially disparate societies found throughout the region today.

Summary:
Ce livre traite de la question des identités nationales entre 1860 et 1919. Cette époque, riche et contrastée pour l'histoire de l'Europe, est en même temps prémonitoire de la situation du continent aujourd'hui, ainsi que des espoirs, des angoisses et des incertitudes qui en résultent. C'est en effet le temps où chaque peuple rassemblant en son sein les moyens irrésistibles de développer et de nourrir une passion pour l'histoire nationale, l'essor éclatant des identités constitue les antagonismes qui débouchent sur la Première guerre mondiale. Ceux-ci préfigurent la désintégration de la carte européenne postérieure au traité de Versailles. Cette passion, qui touche tous les champs de l'histoire sociale, s'appuie sur les accomplissements nationaux déjà acquis auparavant, lors du premier XIXe siècle (1815-1860). Mais, contrairement à ces prémices cultuelles, marquées par l'essor des langues et des littératures le " second " XIXe siècle se caractérise par la floraison des architectures nationales, plus ou moins liées aux recherches de l'Art nouveau occidental et à la diffusion des Arts and Crafts britanniques. Il voit aussi, dans l'ordre politique, la montée des impérialismes, l'achèvement de l'unification italienne et allemande et le succès obtenu par plusieurs nations dans leur quête d'indépendance. Premier d'une série consacrée à la carte très disparate des identités européennes, cet ouvrage étudie quatre jeunes nations qui, en 1860, ne constituent pas des Etats, mais qui déploient toute leur créativité spirituelle, politique, diplomatique et artistique pour affirmer leur avenir. La Hongrie fait alors partie de l'Empire austro-hongrois, tandis que le Grand-Duché de Finlande appartient à la Russie. La Moldavie et la Valachie, dont naîtra plus tard la Roumanie, sont des principautés tributaires des Empires russe et ottoman. Intégrée au Royaume d'Espagne, la Catalogne se souvient, quant à elle, avoir été une grande nation prospère au Moyen Âge. Tout se passe comme si les nations d'Europe avaient convoqué leur riche passé - historique, mythologique ou imaginaire - pour mieux bâtir leur destin au cœur du continent. L'architecture et les projets urbains sont les lieux d'application privilégiés de ces quêtes. S'ils font office d'étendards, c'est parce que ces deux " arts " s'imposent au plus grand nombre et qu'ils modèlent les repères allégoriques et politiques des peuples. En somme, le paysage d'hier est l'emblème de l'Europe d'aujourd'hui.

Summary:
This unique look at the evolution of nightclubs across America and Europe since the 1960s reveals an unwavering truth about club culture--the one constant is change. Opening with the psychedelic haunts of the 1960s New York pop art scene and closing more than half a century later with the rise of post-club happenings, this publication shows how nightlife spaces have evolved to meet the needs of their generation, and how each generation was seeking something a little different from the one before. Each chapter focuses on a distinct phase and city: Italy's politically radical clubs of the '60s, New York City's disco scene, Detroit and Chicago's house and techno paradises, Ibiza's counterculture communal retreats, Britain's rave culture, and Berlin's techno scene. The clubs come to life in double-page spreads that feature specs and detailed profiles. Author John Leo Gillen offers his take on various important cultural, design and architectural details, while numerous photographs offer their own vibey stories. The book features interviews with people who were involved in a number of the scenes included, from NYC disco mainstay DJ Justin Strauss to Ben Kelly, architect of Manchester's legendary venue The Haçienda. As the world emerges from its Covid-induced isolation, this celebration of crowded rooms, dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence feels more important than ever.
