Summary:
Cet ouvrage collectif est conçu en hommage à Anne-Marie Châtelet – anciennement professeure d’histoire et de culture architecturales et présidente de la Commission de la recherche et de la pédagogie à l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Strasbourg –, qui a fortement défendu, pendant son parcours de chercheure et d’enseignante dans les écoles d’architecture, la place du champ historique et ainsi contribué à développer et à enrichir la recherche en histoire de l’architecture.Sont rassemblés ici près de 40 contributions signées par ses condisciples, actuels ou anciens collègues, vieux amis et jeunes doctorants, étudiants d’antan et collaborateurs d’aujourd’hui. Elles font écho aux principaux thèmes de recherche chers à Anne-Marie Châtelet :- Un premier axe regroupe des textes centrés sur l’histoire d’édifices bâtis aux 19e et 20e siècles en Europe, analysant ainsi l’architecture scolaire, religieuse mais aussi celle du logement ou d’équipements plus exceptionnels, par le biais de méthodes d’étude typo-morphologique.- Le deuxième aborde le milieu et la pratique des architectes, au fil du 20e siècle, moins dans une approche des individus que dans celle des bâtisseurs comme groupe professionnel, voire comme groupe social.- Le troisième axe éclaire des problématiques liées aux échanges, transferts et métissages dans les domaines architectural et urbain.

Summary:
"A House Is Not Just a House" argues precisely that. The book traces Tatiana Bilbao’s diverse work on housing ranging from large-scale social projects to single-family luxury homes. These projects offer a way of thinking about the limits of housing: where it begins and where it ends. Regardless of type, her work advances an argument on housing that is simultaneously expansive and minimal, inseparable from the broader environment outside of it and predicated on the fundamental requirements of living. Working within the turbulent history of social housing in Mexico, Bilbao argues for participating even when circumstances are less than ideal—and from this participation she is able to propose specific strategies learned in Mexico for producing housing elsewhere.

Summary:
How can we meet the needs of children and young people? Just over 20% of the UK population is under the age of 18, yet they remain largely ignored when it comes to designing the places where they live.

It combines compelling evidence, guidance and illustrated case studies to provide practical solutions for replacing, refurbishing, and reinvigorating an ageing housing stock through child-friendly design. It has become increasingly important for everyone involved in built environment projects to demonstrate a commitment to social value. This book provides opportunities to realise social value in a number of ways, including better engagement.
