Les 50 ans de l'Institut d'urbanisme de l'Université de Montréal sont une excellente occasion pour ses professeurs de regarder vers l'avenir. Ils présentent ici les enjeux de leur profession non seulement à leurs étudiants, mais aussi à l'ensemble des citoyens concernés par les grands défis qui s'annoncent, notamment le vieillissement de la population, la mobilité, les transports en commun, la sauvegarde du patrimoine et l'aménagement du territoire. Dépassant largement les questions locales, leurs textes, illustrés par Michel Barcelo, abordent avec la même ouverture les problèmes des grandes villes, du Nord comme du Sud.

From fiction for The New Yorker to seminal essays on new architectural forms, McCoy charts the progressive edge of American idealism, from the collective utopian spirit of Jazz Age Greenwich Village, through the Depression and the war years, to the optimism of the 1950s and 1960s. In preparing this volume, writer and editor Susan Morgan extensively researched the McCoy papers at the Archives of American Art. Her editorial decisions were based, in part, on McCoy's original selections for an unrealized anthology solicited by W. W. Norton in 1968.

A new edition of one of the most widely read books on modern design Nikolaus Pevsner's landmark work was first published in 1936.

Summary:

Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three main sources: William Morris and his followers; the work of the 19th-century engineers; and Art Nouveau. All these form the essential background to the work of the early Modernists, with their rejection of ornament, their use of new materials and their commitment to "utility" and the machine age. Pevsner looks at the early masters of the movement, such as Voysey and Rennie Mackintosh in Britain; Sullivan and Lloyd Wright in America; and Loos and Wagner in Vienna, ending in 1914, with Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus movement representing design's most radical break with the past.

Summary:

It was an era of inspiring encounters between aristocrats, the avantgarde, snobs, and intellectuals that ended when Italy entered World War II. Antonio Foscari recounts this lively period in the building’s history and talks about its then owner, Bertie Landsberg, and his friends Catherine de Rochegude, Baroness of Erlanger, and Paul Rodocanachi, who not only lovingly renovated the villa, but made it such a lively place for the first time. The text is complemented by numerous photographs dating from this exciting time that convey an impression of what was happening in the villa in those days.

Pourquoi reconquérir les rues ? Parce que c’est là que se joue, sans qu’on en soit toujours conscient, une grande partie de la qualité de la vie dans une ville.

Il y a des rues où l’on se sent bien, des rues vivantes — sans forcément être commerçantes —, où l’on se dit qu’on aimerait bien habiter et élever nos enfants. Et puis il y a des rues qui, à l’inverse, nous semblent mornes, stériles, désertes, et qui malheureusement sont devenues plutôt la norme dans notre pays. Nicolas Soulier nous montre que cette situation n’est pas inéluctable et que de nombreux exemples de reconquête fleurissent à travers le monde, mais aussi en France. De ces situations exemplaires, prises en Allemagne, en Suisse, au Canada, en Angleterre et aux USA, l’auteur tire des conclusions pratiques et propose des pistes d’action pour reconquérir nos rues.

Summary:
Further extending Jonathan Hill's investigation of authorship, this book recognizes the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user. Although acknowledging the influence of the client, contractor and engineer, the relations between the designer, user and weather are the focus of this book. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture's relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather's effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, leading to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change.

Summary:
Providing a concise and accessible introduction to the work of the celebrated twentieth century German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer, this book focuses on the aspects of Gadamer’s philosophy that have been the most influential among architects, educators in architecture, and architectural theorists. Gadamer’s philosophy of art gives a special place to the activity of "play" as it occurs in artistic creation. His reflections on meaning and symbolism in art draw upon his teacher, Martin Heidegger, while moving Heidegger’s thought in new directions. His theory of interpretation, or "philosophical hermeneutics," offers profound ways to understand the influence of the past upon the present and to appropriate cultural history in ever new forms. For architects, architectural theorists, architectural historians, and students in these fields, Gadamer’s thought opens a world of possibilities for understanding how building today can be rich with human meaning, relating to architecture’s history in ways that do not merely repeat nor repudiate that history. In addition, Gadamer’s sensitivity to the importance of practical thinking – to the way that theory arises out of practice – gives his thought a remarkable usefulness in the everyday work of professional life.
