L'urbanisme et l'architecture civile de Montpellier ont fait l'objet de recherches approfondies de la part du service régional de l'Inventaire. Trois volumes sont déjà parus dans cette collection. Le quatrième porte sur les édifices publics, militaires et religieux depuis l'âge roman jusqu'aux années 1950. Il permet de découvrir un patrimoine exceptionnel à plus d'un titre, représentatif de l'époque classique, âge d'or de l'architecture montpelliéraine, ou témoin de la spécialisation de la ville dans l'architecture hospitalière. Il permet aussi de comprendre le rôle joué par l'Eglise, les intendants, les édiles, l'Etat et met en lumière la tragédie que furent pour la ville les guerres de Religion.

Summary:
Dressé au bord du Rhône, le château de Tarascon défendait l'accès des possessions des comtes de Provence. La construction de l'édifice actuel a débuté en 1400, sous Louis II d'Anjou, et fut achevée un demi-siècle après par le Roi René. Le château tient autant du palais que de la forteresse, avec ses hauts murs nus et presque aveugles, dissimulant le décor raffiné du logis seigneurial et de la cour centrale. Devenu une prison au 17e siècle, il le demeura jusqu'en 1926. Il abrite une suite exceptionnelle de tapisseries du 17e siècle représentant "l'histoire de Scipion", qui a été acquise par la Caisse nationale des monuments historiques et des sites.

Summary:
The influence of the award-winning Jordanian architect Rasem Badran is rapidly spreading throughout the developing world. His work involves the full spectrum from urban planning to individual residences. His work is human-scaled, responsive to its environment and meets the social and cultural requirements of the people who use it. For the first time, this volume provides an overview of the work of one who could be seen as the natural successor to the seminal Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy and brings together the architect’s own dramatic collection of drawings, plans and photographs, many seen here for the first time. A comprehensive chronology of Badran’s work completes a fascinating survey of this influential and revolutionary architect.
