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.

(available to order)
Summary:
Though little known in the English-speaking world, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach (1656-1723) was one of the most important and influential European baroque architects. The buildings that he designed for the emperor of Austria and his courtiers reveal an element of theatricality - an element that author Esther Gordon Dotson probes in this accessible and attractive volume. In his architectural designs, Fischer incorporated devices from ceremonial pageantry and scene design, controlled lighting effects, and a sense of dramatic progression in approaching and moving through a building. Dotson identifies these various elements in her close reading of Fischer's structures, and splendid new photographs, taken by Mark Richard Ashton, bring them to life on the printed page. The author guides readers in discovering the theatrical qualities in Fischer's buildings, illuminating their conceptual liveliness, variety, and drama.

Compelling continuities between the two, especially in postwar Britain, suggest that a new account is needed. This collection of provocative essays discusses the work of architects and their associates, including Alice and Peter Smithson, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, James Stirling, James Gowan, Eduardo Paolozzi, Leon Krier, Allan Greenberg, Reyner Banham, and Charles Jencks, and explores why the debate over postwar modernism was especially vocal in Britain.

We Own the City examines the ways in which urban dwellers--who used to be merely "clients" of development--are taking ownership of their neighborhoods. Bottom-up initiatives are cropping up around the world, but institutions, government offices and developers often find themselves uncertain how to collaborate with and empower these impassioned citizens and communities. Offering solutions to this disconnect, this book analyzes this international trend through five case studies, focusing on Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Moscow, New York and Taipei, each of which discusses different dynamics and intensities of citizens' redevelopment processes.
