The Centre Georges Pompidou, also called Beaubourg, is today considered an icon of contemporary Paris, the quintessence of a modern building, and a model for what a museum can be.

Summary:
The Centre Georges Pompidou, also called Beaubourg, is today considered an icon of contemporary Paris, the quintessence of a modern building, and a model for what a museum can be. In 1971, Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, together with the engineering firm Ove Arup & Partners, won an international architecture competition with their innovative and irreverent design. Completed in 1977, the building was at first received skeptically by critics, yet it was quickly embraced by the public as a beloved monument of the modern city of Paris. This lively intellectual biography of the building explores its history and the reasons for its success, from its genesis as a politically calculated response to Paris’s turbulent 1968 student protests to the role played by architects in its construction, as well as the historical influences and the engineering solutions that inform its design. A key reason for the Centre Pompidou’s success indeed lies in its ability to channel architectural memory, connecting it powerfully to Paris’s historic urban fabric. This essential text on one of the twentieth century’s most significant buildings is accompanied by a portfolio of rare drawings and photographs.

Summary:
This volume presents the OFFICE projects through a critical analysis based on archive documents. It also reconstructs the influence of OFFICE’s creative principles among the new generations of architects. The projects appeared in the early 2000s and gained prominence as new forms of digital collage with a cultural engagement. The author traces the evolution of their early ideas developed as paper architecture to the current buildings of a significant scale and presence. The underlying argument of the book demonstrates OFFICE’s ability to preserve in every project the spark of a theoretical construction, which in most cases is carried out according to a rigorous economy of means. Even the new monuments for public institutions continue to be illuminated by a creative tension of radical superiority.

Summary:
For years, Andreas Züst, the late photographer, meteorologist, publisher, collector, and patron of the arts, took photographs of roundabouts in Europe, America, and Asia. Almost everything can manifest itself in the center of a roundabout, endowing this non-place with a meaning that we only casually glimpse while driving by: advertisements for local businesses, historical allegories, artworks, craft, monuments of ruling ideologies and religions—as though man could not abide a void. These wry photographs, with their delight in the absurd, are a prime example of an anthropology of everyday and popular culture inviting the reader to reflect on cultural and social differences, vernacular culture, and man’s horror of the void. At time of his premature death, Züst was preparing the publication of this book.

Le texte donne les clefs nécessaires à la compréhension des structures formelles, des principes artistiques et des concepts qui ont donné naissance à une série d'inventions dont la valeur universelle continue de fasciner l'époque contemporaine Le Corbusier ne parlait pas sans raison de " l'esprit révolutionnaire " du Parthénon.

Summary:
Bogdan Bogdanovic (1922–2010) was a Yugoslav architect, theorist, professor and a one-time mayor of Belgrade. His idiosyncratic memorials to the victims and heroes of World War II, scattered around the former Yugoslavia, continue to attract attention today, more than 25 years after the country’s collapse. The monuments, cemeteries, mausoleums, memorial parks, necropolises, cenotaphs and other sites of memory Bogdanovic designed between the early 1950s and late 1970s occupy a unique place in the history of modern architecture, redrawing the boundaries between architecture, landscape and sculpture in varied and unexpected ways. This book presents Bogdanovic’s built oeuvre through his own eyes, in a selection of nearly 50 color photographs of his memorials, which the architect took soon after the completion of each project.

Comment traiter nos monuments historiques ? Appellent-ils exclusivement une pieuse conservation doublée d'un entretien scrupuleux ou bien est-il légitime de les restaurer, voire de les transformer ? Le débat conserve son actualité. Ouvert en Angleterre à la fin du XVIIIè siècle, il fut incarné soixante ans plus tard par les deux figures antagonistes et en apparence inconciliables de Ruskin et Viollet-le-Duc. L'architecte italien Camillo Boito, qui était aussi restaurateur, historien de l'art et romancier, répond à la question en ouvrant une troisième voie. Jamais traduit en France, ce petit texte devenu fameux, développe une éblouissante dialectique du patrimoine qui allie l'expérience du praticien, l'érudition de l'historien et la verve du nouvelliste. Traduit de l'italien par Jean-Marc Mandosio. Présenté par Françoise Choay.
