Summary:
In an expanding and socially fractious early twentieth-century Winnipeg, Lewis Benjamin Foote (1873-1957) rose to become the city's pre-eminent commercial photographer. Documenting everything from royal visits to deep poverty, from the building of the landmark Fort Garry Hotel to the riots of the 1919 General Strike, Foote's photographs have come to be iconic representations of early Winnipeg life. In Imagining Winnipeg, historian Esyllt W. Jones takes us beyond the iconic to reveal the complex artist behind the lens and the conflicting ways in which his photographs have been used to give credence to diverse and sometimes irreconcilable views of Winnipeg's past.

Ils ont aussi motivé l'écriture de deux ouvrages cultes, Les Pierres sauvages (1964) et Mémoires d'un architecte (1968), qui révèlent un remarquable conteur. L'oeuvre bâtie, elle, est exceptionnelle par son ampleur, ses qualités de composition et de construction. Mis au ban de sa profession pour avoir osé défier l'industrie du béton armé, Fernand Pouillon a démontré, en Provence d'abord, puis en Algérie, dans la région parisienne et en Iran, la compatibilité de la construction en pierre de taille et du logement de masse. La reconstruction du Vieux-Port de Marseille, la résidence Climat de France à Alger, celles du Point-du-Jour à Boulogne-Billancourt et du Parc à Meudon constituent aujourd'hui des repères importants dans l'histoire de l'habitat. Cet ouvrage propose un regard nouveau sur l'architecte et présente des projets, ignorés ou méconnus : maisons industrialisées, plan d'urbanisme de Créteil et projet d'extension de Saint-Tropez... Il apporte quantité d'éléments inédits sur l'oeuvre, qui se révèle plus que jamais d'une extraordinaire riche et d'une étonnante diversité.

Kengo Kuma is known for achieving a new kind of transparency in architecture, and is not bound by using only traditional light materials. Included is his essay, Small Architecture, which gives valuable insight into his view that great disasters, not the progress of technology, have been architectures driving force throughout history, with the most recent example being the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.

Summary:
This large-format monograph gives an in-depth account of the history, transformation and revitalisation of a 1960s-era residential tower in northern Paris, as seen through the eyes of the French office of Druot, Lacaton & Vassal. It details the architects’ rationales and perspectives regarding recycling architecture in an economic and cost-effective manner, which is ultimately more rewarding than demolishing and rebuilding. With numerous full-colour photographs of both interiors and exteriors, plus drawings, plans, and comparisons of the old and new towers, the book serves as a manifesto to the ideals of reuse and its benefits for architecture and urbanism today.

The implications were subversive. Turned-off citizens of the 1970s immediately adopted the book as a DIY guide. The word "adhocism" entered the vocabulary, the concept of adhocism became part of the designer's toolkit, and "Adhocism" became a cult classic. Now "Adhocism" is available again, with new texts by Jencks and Silver reflecting on the past forty years of adhocism and new illustrations demonstrating adhocism's continuing relevance.

En explorant les temps forts et les moments oubliés de deux des plus importants « chantiers » de l’histoire du patrimoine au Québec, l’Ile d’Orléans et la place Royale de Québec aux XIXe et XXe siècles, il présente un visage méconnu de l’héritage culturel, celui qui reconstruit le souvenir du passé pour répondre aux préoccupations de la société du présent. Tour à tour, des idéologies, des manifestations du savoir et des contextes socioéconomiques sont convoqués pour expliquer la construction des deux « berceaux du Canada français » et pour déchiffrer l’élément qui est au centre, la quête du sens et de la durée, une tâche que seul peut accomplir un travail d’interprétation.
