Summary:
Architectural interventions aimed to not only preserve the existing historic built fabric but also develop it with care and with a view to the future are rare.The Batthyány-Strattmann and Trauttmansdorff palaces in Vienna are buildings with an impressive and turbulent history.

As a contribution towards a vibrant, historic city center, the palaces will not be sold in the context of speculative development but will be let for residential and work purposes. The book recounts the history of the palaces using photographic documentation to illustrate the connection between trust funds, architecture, and artistic interpretation as a cultural statement.

Summary:
La recherche d'efficacité énergétique et de confort mais aussi le manque de terrains pour construire des logements incitent à procéder à la réhabilitation ou à la requalification, associée à des extensions, surélévations, etc. Dans ce type d'opérations lourdes, les enjeux architecturaux sont importants, bien que ce champ soit considéré, le plus souvent, comme peu propice à l'ambition créative. Cet ouvrage propose une réflexion théorique et pratique sur la place de l'architecture dans la requalification de l'habitat collectif en rassemblant une analyse détaillée d'environ 200 opérations parmi les plus marquantes. Centré principalement sur l'habitat des Trente Glorieuses (1946-1975), ce bilan critique : explique les raisons historiques de l'absence de l'architecture lors des opérations de réhabilitation, l'évolution du contexte favorable à la requalification des logements ; propose une étude comparative de réalisations aux qualités architecturales reconnues, classées par type et niveau d'interventions ? de l'immeuble (logement, parties communes) aux abords immédiats (pieds d'immeubles, résidentialisation) jusqu'à l'aménagement urbain dans le cas d'extensions neuves ; met en évidence des éléments de conception architecturale communs, lesquels permettent de définir les bases d'une théorisation de la prise en compte de l'architecture et d'offrir des outils opérationnels au regard des enjeux visés (agrandissement de logements, création d'annexes extérieures privatives, diversification de l'offre, mixité de l'habitat, etc.).

La ruine est ainsi davantage consolidée en l'état et conservée telle que plutôt que réhabilitée. La ruine devient alors comme le paysage de la construction neuve qui est insérée dedans ou à côté. Le choix des projets plaide pour une intervention "douce" qui consiste ni à détruire, ni à rénover, mais plutôt à coloniser l'existant, considérant que recycler, adapter, transformer, inventer d'autres usages est susceptible de s'avérer plus pertinent que de démolir pour reconstruire "mieux".

C’est cette histoire que l’historien de l’art se propose d’étudier. Dans la mesure où il procède à un transfert qui fait passer l’objet de sa destination cultuelle ou fonctionnelle primitive à une nouvelle vie, à la fois aux plans esthétique et historique, le musée constitue une mise en scène et un dispositif parfaitement réglés. À travers une série d’études ponctuelles, Roland Recht analyse les changements qui affectent notre relation aux objets esthétiques, depuis l’Élysée d’Alexandre Lenoir jusqu’au Grand Louvre ouvert en 1993. Cette publication accompagne l’exposition Un musée révolutionnaire Le musée des Monuments français d’Alexandre Lenoir au musée du Louvre du 7 Avril 2016 au 4 Juillet 2016.

Summary:
Every day, millions of people enter old buildings, pass monuments, and gaze at landscapes unaware that these acts are possible only thanks to the preservation movement. As we approach the October 2016 anniversary of the United States National Historic Preservation Act, historian Max Page offers a thoughtful assessment of the movement’s past and charts a path toward a more progressive future. Page argues that if preservation is to play a central role in building more-just communities, it must transform itself to stand against gentrification, work more closely with the environmental sustainability movement, and challenge societies to confront their pasts. Touching on the history of the preservation movement in the United States and ranging the world, Page searches for inspiration on how to rejuvenate historic preservation for the next fifty years. This illuminating work will be widely read by urban planners, historians, and anyone with a stake in the past.

Summary:
In contrast to tabula rasa urbanism, this book considers strategies for tabula plena?urban sites that are full of existing buildings of multiple time periods. Such dense sites prompt designers to work between the fields of architecture, historic preservation, and urban planning, developing methods for collaborative authorship and interlocking architectural forms. The book grew from a collaboration between the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation on the planning of the government quarter in Oslo. Emerging from this process, the book asks larger questions about how we practice, teach, and theorize engagement with existing architecture on an urban scale. It contains a compilation of short essays addressing theoretical questions, a sampling of design projects offering different formal strategies for architectural design, and a series of discussions about pedagogical strategies.
