Summary:
Une figure routière est apparue et prolifère dans l'espace urbain français. On l'appelle «giratoire», ou plus communément «rond-point». Cet ouvrage propose de reconstituer une généalogie qui nous conduit d'abord au coeur des forêts de chasse et des jardins classiques, puis, via les embellissements du XVIIIe siècle et le Paris d'Haussmann, jusqu'à la fin du XIXe(...)

Cet ouvrage propose de reconstituer une généalogie qui nous conduit d'abord au coeur des forêts de chasse et des jardins classiques, puis, via les embellissements du XVIIIe siècle et le Paris d'Haussmann, jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle-moment décisif où les inventeurs d'une nouvelle science nommée «urbanisme» (Cerdà, Sitte, Stubben) cherchent une solution aux conflits des voitures dans les carrefours urbains. Au moment où un véritable réseau de giratoires-balises tend à réorganiser l'espace urbain, des architectes, paysagistes et artistes se penchent sur cette pièce du vocabulaire territorial courant. Ainsi, au travers de nombreux projets présentés, se dessinent les voies d'une possible réinvention du rond-point comme dispositif d'articulation majeur de la matrice viaire contemporaine.

Summary:
Architect and propagandist of the modern movement, Alberto Sartoris (1901-1998) assembled a remarkable photography collection of modern architecture, published in part in two anthologies that have since achieved mythical stature: «Gli elementi dell'architettura funzionale» and «l'Encyclopédie de l'architecture nouvelle». These photographs document the architectural works around the world, from Le Corbusier to Luis Barragàn, photographed by the best specialists of their period. This work presents the collection that Alberto Sartoris donated to the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. It also throws light on a poorly understood aspect of twentieth century architecture, namely, the mechanisms behind the creation and diffusion of the «image of modern architecture», as well as the determining role played by photography in this process.

La ville, la grande ville surtout, est depuis longtemps la mal-aimée. L'auteur s'intéresse ici aux origines historiques et à l'évolution de cette hostilité. Loin d'être une spécificité helvétique, la ville mal-aimée apparaît comme un trait commun à nombre de cultures nationales.

Summary:
La ville, la grande ville surtout, est depuis longtemps la mal-aimée. L'auteur s'intéresse ici aux origines historiques et à l'évolution de cette hostilité. Loin d'être une spécificité helvétique, la ville mal-aimée apparaît comme un trait commun à nombre de cultures nationales. En Angleterre, en France ou en Allemagne, la ville est constamment opposée à une campagne idéalisée. Deux hypothèses forment la trame de cet ouvrage. la première est que cette hostilité n'est pas sans conséquence sur la définition des politiques d'aménagement du territoire. La seconde est qu'on assiste actuellement à un retournement de l'image de la ville, notamment en Suisse. L'hostilité de la ville n'a que très rarement constitué un axe de recherche en soi. Cet ouvrage en fait un thème à part entière et en propose une étude détaillée, dans un contexte tant helvétique qu'international.

Summary:
Green design is the major architectural movement of our time. Throughout the world architects are producing sustainable buildings in an attempt to preserve the environment and our globe's natural resources. However, current strategies for forming sustainable solutions are typically too general and fail to take advantage of critical geographical, environmental, and cultural factors particular to a specific place. By focusing on the Pacific northwest, this book provides essential lessons to architects and students on how sustainable architecture can and should be shaped by the unique conditions of a region. Pacific northwest regionalism has consistently supported an architecture aimed at environmental needs and priorities. This book illuminates the history of a "green trail" in the work of key architects of the northwest. It discusses environmental strategies that work in the region, organized according to nature's most basic elements - earth, air, water, and fire - and their underlying principles and forces. The book focuses on technologies, materials, and methods, with a final section that examines thirteen exceptional northwest buildings in detail and in light of their contributions to sustainable architecture. Critical case studies by northwest architects illustrate some of the best environmental design work in North America. Notable architects from Seattle, Portland, and British Columbia are included. These projects feature innovative design in water and site stewardship, intelligent technologies, passive energy strategies, ecologically sound building materials, and environmentally sensitive energy management systems.

It is timely because the proliferation of urban cafes, restaurants, and markets continues, but is not sufficiently recognized or analyzed. Food related topics are now of great interest in academic and design disciplines but the theme of this issue, food as it relates to the variety and vitality of urban life, has not been addressed.

Summary:
"The Eyes of the Skin" has become a classic of architectural theory and consists of two extended essays. The first surveys the historical development of the ocular-centric paradigm in western culture since the Greeks and its impact on the experience of the world and the nature of architecture. The second examines the role of the other senses in authentic architectural experiences, and points the way towards a multi-sensory architecture which facilitates a sense of belonging and integration. Since the book's first publication, interest in the role of the body and the senses has been emerging in both architectural philosophy and teaching. This new, revised and extended edition of this seminal work will not only inspire architects and students to design more holistic architecture, but will enrich the general reader's perception of the world around them.
