Summary:
Ces actes rendent compte des réflexions soulevées lors du colloque international "Facadisme et identité urbaine" organisé par la Direction de l'architecture et du patrimoine et Icomos international, en janvier 1999 à Paris. L'ouvrage pose le problème du développement du façadisme en Europe et au-delà, et analyse les expériences mises en place pour en conserver la maîtrise dans le centre des villes. Articulé autour de trois grands axes, il explore les différents aspects de l'histoire du traitement des façades et de leurs fonctions. These proceedings give an account of the issues raised during the international conference "Façadism and Urban Identity" organized by the Department of Architecture and Heritage and Icomos International during January 1999 in Paris. Putting forward the question of the development of façadism in Europe and beyond, this work also analyses the measures adopted to bring it under control in the city centres. Centred on three main themes, various aspects in the history of the treatment of façades and their function are explored.
