Et si l'on évitait de penser à partir du standard, d'un homme aux mesures universelles, dictant les proportions de l'architecture, de la ville, selon ses seules mensurations théoriques parfaites ? Si l'on adoptait pour une fois le point de vue des enfants, qui habitent un monde trop grand, qui n'est pas conçu pour eux ? On pourrait alors imaginer une microarchitecture à(...)

Et si l'on évitait de penser à partir du standard, d'un homme aux mesures universelles, dictant les proportions de l'architecture, de la ville, selon ses seules mensurations théoriques parfaites ? Si l'on adoptait pour une fois le point de vue des enfants, qui habitent un monde trop grand, qui n'est pas conçu pour eux ? On pourrait alors imaginer une microarchitecture à leur échelle à insérer dans une chambre, un jardin, une cour d'école, un espace libre à conquérir, avec de nouvelles proportions, pour d'outres usages. Tout cela en intégrant les enjeux environnementaux de toute production architecturale aujourd'hui, en utilisant le carton, le papier, le bois, et en laissant bien sûr à l'enfant la possibilité d'intervenir, d'individualiser son espace. Tel est bien le défi lancé par le concours Mini maousse 4, auquel ont répondu, avec ingéniosité et talent, des designers, artistes, architectes français et étrangers. Inscrit dans une problématique critique plus large qui interroge notamment notre rapport à la monumentalité, Archi petit fait la part belle à une architecture différente, une architecture pensée pour s'amuser mais aussi " pour de vrai ", idéale comme une folie, un rien surréaliste, qui donne de l'air aux plus petits, pour les aider à mieux grandir.

Summary:
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as found in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to(...)

Summary:
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as found in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "write a history of the world without leaving home." The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demostrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.

Summary:
A re-evaluation of three 'red buildings', designed by Jim Stirling : the University of Leicester Engineering Building (and James Gowan), the History Faculty and Library at Cambridge and the residential Florey Building at Queen's College, Oxford. These are buildings much praised by architects, yet hated by the members of the universities that use them. Alan Berman has drawn together essays which put the buildings in their historical context, and which explore both their radical features and their technical failings. In addition, twenty-four of today's most famous architects - including Will Alsop, Norman Foster, Richard MacCormac and Richard Rogers - explain and partly seek to defend, the importance of these radical and controversial buildings. With newly commissioned photography, as well as drawings taken from the Jim Stirling archives, this book attempts a serious re-engagement with the continuing debate between modern architects and the public.

Many of the plantation homes were lost during the time of war, and many more were simply allowed to collapse in the aftermath. This collection of photographs represents work present in the Historic American Buildings Survey, an effort to catalogue and document the architecture and building culture of America. In the South, especially, these photographs became invaluable records of a way of life that was quickly disappearing. The selections here capture these lost dwellings sometimes as a fragment, sometimes a whole building and showcase the grand tradition and romantic detail of these icons of the South.

From villages in China, India, Bangladesh and Poland to the international cities of the world, Doug Saunders portrays a diverse group of people as they struggle to make the transition, and in telling the story of their journeys — and the history of their often multi-generational families enmeshed in the struggle of transition — gives an often surprising sense of what factors aid in the creation of a stable, productive community.

Summary:
This publication is Trevor Paglen's first photographic monograph. Social scientist, artist, writer and provocateur, Paglen has been exploring the secret activities of the U.S. military and intelligence agencies--the "black world"--for the last eight years, publishing, speaking and making astonishing photographs. As an artist, Paglen is interested in the idea of photography as truth-telling, but his pictures often stop short of traditional ideas of documentation. In the series Limit Telephotography, for example, he employs high-end optical systems to photograph top-secret governmental sites; and in The Other Night Sky, he uses the data of amateur satellite watchers to track and photograph classified spacecraft in Earth's orbit. In other works Paglen transforms documents such as passports, flight data and aliases of CIA operatives into art objects. Rebecca Solnit contributes a searing essay that traces this history of clandestine military activity on the American landscape.
