This book is published in conjunction with the award of the Rotterdam-Maaskant Prize for Young Architects 2005 to Oliver Thill. Design by Sophie Bleifuss.

Summary:
Shortly after finishing their studies, Samuel Bünzli and Simon Courvoisier used their talents to master architectural challenges, achieving independent solutions. The restructuring of a residential building, a school, a laboratory building, a project for hotel rooms and a large housing development were architectural milestones. The projects illustrate the precise approach the architects take to their work. The source of their inspiration is the keen analysis of existing constructions, their environment and the programme generated by the construction task. They use these sources to elicit solutions and – almost as a matter of course – always succeed in shaping a piece of city.

Summary:
"Maps of the imagination" takes us on a magic carpet ride over terrain both familiar and exotic. Using the map as metaphor, Peter Turchi considers writing as a combination of exploration and presentation. He compares the way a writer leads a reader through the imaginary world of a story, novel, or poem to the way a mapmaker charts the physical world. "To ask for a map,"(...)

Summary:
"Maps of the imagination" takes us on a magic carpet ride over terrain both familiar and exotic. Using the map as metaphor, Peter Turchi considers writing as a combination of exploration and presentation. He compares the way a writer leads a reader through the imaginary world of a story, novel, or poem to the way a mapmaker charts the physical world. "To ask for a map," says Turchi, "is to say, 'Tell me a story.' " The author looks at how mapmakers and writers deal with blank space and the blank page; the conventions they use (both the ones readers recognize and those that often go unnoticed) or consciously disregard; the role of geometry in maps and the parallel role of form in writing; how both maps and writing serve to re-create an individual's view of the world; and the artist's delicate balance of intuition with intention. The ancient Greeks, German globe makers, and British cartographers join forces with the Marx Brothers, NASA, and Roadrunner cartoons to shed light on the strategies of writers as diverse as Sappho, Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, Vladimir Nabokov, Italo Calvino, Don DeLillo, and Heather McHugh. A combination of history, critical cartography, personal essay, and practical guide to writing, "Maps of the imagination" is a book for writers, for readers, and for anyone interested in creativity.

Summary:
Ce recueil regroupe les textes de 41 communications présentées lors du colloque « Le patrimoine religieux du Québec : de l'objet cultuel à l'objet culturel », tenu à Québec les 12, 13 et 14 novembre 2004. Quelque 450 personnes, praticiens, chercheurs ou passionnés du patrimoine religieux s'y réunissaient pour réfléchir sur les enjeux fondamentaux de ce patrimoine menacé, entre autres, par une diminution marquée de la pratique religieuse et par le vieillissement des propriétaires et gardiens traditionnels de ces biens matériels et immatériels. Cette vaste mobilisation démontre l'attachement profond des Québécois à leur patrimoine religieux, vecteur d'affirmation et de fierté collective, qu'ils désirent conserver, valoriser et transmettre. Dans ce contexte, la « patrimonialisation », c'est-à-dire la conversion de ces biens d'Église, à vocation cultuelle, en biens culturels destinés à la société civile, semble être le seul moyen de sauvegarder cet héritage. Or cette nécessaire relation entre le cultuel et le culturel est plus qu'un lieu de passage, c'est un « espace de contact », un champ relationnel qui met en œuvre des négociations, des stratégies d'appropriation et des postures de résistance. Par les échanges et les mélanges qu'il engendre, cet espace devient « un entre-lieu » de la culture, un espace de création où se réalisent de nouveaux consensus, de nouvelles pratiques culturelles et de nouvelles identités.
