Né d'une étude qui visait à documenter le "parcours historique" de la rue Notre-Dame, afin de mettre en perspective son projet de modernisation, cet ouvrage présente la genèse de cet axe et l'évolution de l'Est montréalais qu'il contribua à modeler. "Du chemin du Roy à la rue Notre-Dame" dévoile la mémoire et les monuments des quartiers Sainte-Marie, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve et Mercier, au fil d'une véritable épopée jadis peu valorisée. Quatre cents photographies et cartes, en noir et blanc ou en couleurs, soutiennent ici la découverte de ce sujet méconnu, désormais inscrit dans l'histoire du paysage de Montréal.

Summary:
Gillian Mackie examines the decorative schemes of the surviving chapels built in Italy and Istria from AD312-740 in the context of numerous chapels known from archaeological sites or from later medieval texts. Using the decoration as the primary source of evidence on the buildings' use and meaning, this survey includes chapels, imperial mausolea, and the oratories of the popes and bishops, from Rome, Milan, Ravenna, and the smaller centres of the upper Adriatic. The author begins with an overview of the various types, and then discusses several of the most complete monuments in considerable detail.

Summary:
Paris a organisé pendant près d'un siècle des expositions qui rencontrèrent un succès universel.Vouée à un thème différent, chaque manifestation est une ode à l'innovation, un jeu d'illusions, une fête effervescente dont il nous reste de multiples témoins : transports en commun, nouveaux quartiers, perspectives, axes de circulation et monuments emblématiques. Avec cet ouvrage qui célèbre le 150e anniversaire de la première Exposition universelle, l'Action artistique de la Ville de Paris met en valeur l'influence de ces manifestations sur la paysage parisien et sur l'évolution des arts, ainsi que la volonté de la France de se placer à l'avant-garde de son époque.

En tant que dépositaires de ces divers codes historiques, les villes sont aussi des espaces de prédilection pour le travail de la mémoire subjective, elles suscitent des textes (et des images), invitent à se souvenir, à découvrir et à construire le passé.

Summary:
All working architects leave behind a string of monuments to themselves in the form of buildings they have designed. But what about the final spaces that architects themselves will occupy? Are architects’ gravesites more monumental - more architectural - than others? This unique book provides an illustrated guide to more than 200 gravesites of famous architects, almost all of them in the United States. Led by author Henry Kuehn, we find that most graves of architects are not monumental but rather modest, that many architects did not design their final resting places, and that a surprising number had their ashes scattered.

Summary:
The sculptures of Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948–2015) are imagined architectural propositions and improbable structures for a fairytale urban landscape. Comprised of paper, commercial packaging and the stuff of everyday life, his “extreme maquettes” transform these materials into fantastic visions that encompass civic buildings, public monuments and private pavilions. Born in the Belgian Congo, Kingelez gained international renown following his participation in the landmark 1989 exhibition Magiciens de la Terre at Centre Georges Pompidou and the Grande Halle of the Parc de la Villette, and since that time, his work has been included in numerous global surveys and in several solo presentations.

Summary:
David Chipperfield was awarded the Netherlands’ Sikkens Prize “for his approach towards the urban context, his talent in re-using existing buildings and monuments, and his subtle and subdued use of colour”. Chipperfield was somewhat surprised, because he considered his use of colour and material to be a logical consequence of his views on architecture, not an exceptional achievement. Yet, he interpreted the recognition as encouragement to reflect on the role of colour. Chipperfield’s architecture contributes to uniqueness and creates meaningful environments. It is open to change and reinterpretation, because the process of designing, experiencing, and learning never ceases.
