Summary:
Reyner Banham examined the built environment of Los Angeles in a way no architectural historian before him had done, looking with fresh eyes at its manifestations of popular taste and industrial ingenuity, as well as its more traditional modes of residential and commercial building. His construct of "four ecologies" examined the ways Angelenos relate to the beach, the freeways, the flatlands, and the foothills. Banham delighted in this mobile city and identified it as an exemplar of the posturban future. In a spectacular new foreword, architect and scholar Joe Day explores how the structure of Los Angeles, the concept of "ecology," and the relevance of Banham's ideas have changed over the past thirty-five years.

Representing a timely opportunity to capture and evaluate the dying manifestations of an important era in Japanese social and cultural history, this book provides a critical account of the love hotel as a unique typology. It considers its spatial, aesthetic, semiotic, and locational denotations and connotations, which results in a richly nuanced cultural reading.

En partant des données d’instruments scientifiques qui mesurent avec une grande précision des manifestations météorologiques telles que la formation des nuages, la photographe américaine nous invite à explorer une nature perçue à travers ses intimes variations de lumière, d'humidité ou de chaleur avec toute la poésie et la finesse qui caractérisent son travail : des marais salants de St. Catherines Island, aux profondes vallées du Montana, des parcs immémoriaux de Nara, au Japon, au Jardin des plantes du Muséum national d’histoire naturelle de Paris.

Marqueur de puissance, l'art mesure le degré d'émancipation d'un pays, son pouvoir d'attraction et sa place dans le monde. Très largement dominée par les États-Unis et, plus largement, le monde occidental depuis le milieu du XXe siècle, la scène artistique s'ouvre peu à peu à de nouvelles puissances, notamment la Chine aux ambitions mondiales déclarées. Étudiant le rôle des différents acteurs, artistes, collectionneurs et musées, Nathalie Obadia analyse l'évolution des liens entre arts plastiques et géopolitique, en questionnant notamment la domination du 'soft power' américain et occidental.

He shows how the ‘tradition of the new’ became the creative credo of a small group of progressive artists and how, with the emigration of leading German modernists to Britain and the USA in the 1930s, the theory and practice of Modernism became widespread. What had begun as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered across Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century.

Summary:
In many countries of Southeast Asia, the middle years of the 20th century marked the dawn of a new era. Independence had been won from colonial powers, and young states such as Burma (Myanmar), Indonesia, Cambodia and Singapore were faced with the task of reconstituting themselves as nations and developing an independent postcolonial identity. Architecture and urban planning played an important role in this process. Local manifestations of modernism emerged that sought to reconcile universal aspirations with specific social conditions. This volume critically examines this architectural and ideological heritage and argues for the preservation and redevelopment of these particular architectures, which are at risk of disappearing amid the rapid urbanization of today.
