Summary:
Architecture et technologies sont étroitement liées bien qu'évoluant à des rythmes différents. Leurs relations sont donc complexes et leurs rebords ponctuent l'histoire de l'architecture. Malgré leurs discours rationalistes, les mouvements modernes n'ont jamais vraiment su ou pu conjuguer l'un et l'autre, une dichotomie qui aujourd'hui se perpétue; la pratique(...)

Summary:
Architecture et technologies sont étroitement liées bien qu'évoluant à des rythmes différents. Leurs relations sont donc complexes et leurs rebords ponctuent l'histoire de l'architecture. Malgré leurs discours rationalistes, les mouvements modernes n'ont jamais vraiment su ou pu conjuguer l'un et l'autre, une dichotomie qui aujourd'hui se perpétue; la pratique architecturale n'intègre en effet que très ocasionnelement les acquis de technologies toujours plus performantes, celles notamment concernant les économies d'énergies, l'autosuffisance et le respect d'environnement naturels. En témoigne l'extraordinaire indigence de formulations architecturales incorporant les systèmes de capteurs solaires ou celles des projets à prétentions écologiques. Ces indigences ne sont pas rédhibitoires. Des architectes se sont intéressés à ces technologies dites douces et les ont saisies pour développer des projets d'entités autosuffisantes, de bâtiments à haute qualité environnementale. Les formulations en sont souvent hétérogènes, parfois spectaculaire mais jamais gratuites qui annoncent la maturité d'une autre génération d'architectes, l'éclosion d'une architecture susceptible de mieux répondre aux préoccupations d'une époque cherchant à préserver son avenir. C'est là le sens de cet ouvrage dont le contenu montre que si la discipline d'architecture exprime son temps, elle sait aussi anticiper. ////////////////////////////////// Whilst France’s contemporary architecture is highly regarded throughout the world, her architects have hardly been leading protagonists in the debate on ecological building. The developments featured in this book, however, should serve to correct this impression. Between 1999- 2002 Electricité de France (EDF) initiated an ambitious research programme to bring together first-class architects and innovative technologies involving renewable energy, strategies to reduce energy consumption, newly developed software programs to support ecologically oriented architectural design etc. The goal was to create sustainable and aesthetically pleasing architecture. This book documents the buildings, some of which have already been realized, resulting from this experiment which attracted participation from both established and also younger architects. Amongst those included are Jean-Yves Barrier, Gilles Bouchez, François Chochon, Adrien Fainsilber, Jacques Ferrier, Manuelle Gautrand, Christian Hauvette, Dominique Lyon & Pierre du Besset, Marc Mimram, François Roche, François Seigneur & Sylvie de la Dure, Francis Soler, Mirto Vitart & Jean-Marc Ibos. Marc Emery was Chief Editor of the magazine "Architecture d’Aujourd’hui" and is an expert on the French architectural scene.

Summary:
After the Bauhaus's closing in 1933, many of its protagonists moved to the United States, where their acceptance had to be cultivated. The key to understanding the American reception of the Bauhaus is to be found not in the émigré success stories or the famous 1938 Bauhaus exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, but in the course of America's early contact with the Bauhaus. In this book Margret Kentgens-Craig shows that the fame of the Bauhaus in America was the result not only of the inherent qualities of its concepts and products, but also of a unique congruence of cultural supply and demand, of a consistent flow of information, and of fine-tuned marketing. Thus the history of the American reception of the Bauhaus in the 1920s and 1930s foreshadows the patterns of fame-making that became typical of the post-World War II art world. The transfer of artistic, intellectual, and pedagogical concepts from one cultural context to another is a process of transformation and integration. In presenting a case study of this process, the book also provides fresh insights into the German-American cultural history of the period from 1919 to 1936.
