Summary:
Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), one of the most famous architects of all time, published two enormously popular guides to the churches and antiquities of Rome in 1554. Striving to be both scholarly and popular, Palladio invited his Renaissance readers to discover the charm of Rome's ancient and medieval wonders, and to follow pilgrimage routes leading from one church to the next. He also described ancient Roman rituals of birth, marriage, and death. Here translated into English and joined in a single volume for the first time, Palladio's guidebooks allow modern visitors to enjoy Rome exactly as their predecessors did 450 years ago. Like the originals, this new edition is pocket sized and therefore easily read on site. Enhanced with illustrations and commentary, the book also includes the first full English translation of Raphael's famous letter to Pope Leo X on the monuments of ancient Rome. For architectural historians, tourists, and armchair travellers, this book offers insights into the antiquarian and ecclesiastical preoccupations of one of the greatest of the Renaissance architectural masters.

Rome is not only enriched by the works that have led it to be known as the "eternal city", or with those monuments that still preserve the stories of a strong people, such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum or Castel Sant'Angelo.

Summary:
Rome is not only enriched by the works that have led it to be known as the "eternal city", or with those monuments that still preserve the stories of a strong people, such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum or Castel Sant'Angelo. It is not only the symbolic center of Christianity thanks to St. Peter's Basilica, or the central and figurative hub of the Italian Republic because of the Palazzo del Quirinale. The history, art, and culture of Rome tell the story of a process of restoration and innovation that sees the participation of some timeless places and the birth of other contemporary community services that join those already known to the public. During 1930s, the social and cultural revolution and call for functionality and practicality are represented by impressive modern public and residential works, as well as by major operations from architectural protagonists in the urban change of the capital. Works such as the university city of Sapienza and its institutes, or the EUR district tell the story of the formal transition between modernity and contemporaneity.

Reflecting the series’ goal to engage with different cultural contexts and time periods, newly commissioned essays from emerging and established scholars address subjects ranging from medieval dance and ancient Assyrian reliefs to expressions of gender embodiment and the art of the Afro-Atlantic. First-person narratives ground theoretical considerations of the theme. Reflecting a commitment to embracing the book form as a space for art itself, ''Art & Histories'' includes a detachable accordion-fold insert with a work from Miami-based artist Glexis Novoa. One of his signature horizon lines unites Washington, DC, and the artist’s native Havana. Meticulous drawings executed on travertine marble entangle the two cities and their monuments, symbolizing both violent and triumphant histories and their ideological reversals.

Ce volume propose de « lire avec les doigts » la villa Cavrois construite en 1932 par l’architecte Robert Mallet-Stevens pour un riche industriel du Nord. Restaurée puis ouverte au public à partir de juin 2015, elle est aujourd’hui l’un des fleurons du réseau des sites du Centre des monuments nationaux. C’est aussi l’occasion, pour les concepteurs de la collection, de proposer une lecture tactile de nouveaux matériaux : brique, marbres, bois rares et précieux, céramiques, parquets, chromes et aluminium brossé, sans oublier les végétaux d’un parc original. Comme pour les volumes précédents, ces planches seront gravées sur le précieux papier japonais Pachica, dont le velouté et la « mémoire » permettent de garantir une qualité unique. Un nouveau coffret simulant les façades de la villa valorise les planches tactiles emblématiques de la collection.

Summary:
The contemporary context is defined by a unique conjuncture. On one hand, we witness the revival of the radical architecture that from the avant-garde experiments of the origins recovers creative processes and iconographic fragments while nullifying the original ideological and political values.

Price:

Summary:
The contemporary context is defined by a unique conjuncture. On one hand, we witness the revival of the radical architecture that from the avant-garde experiments of the origins recovers creative processes and iconographic fragments while nullifying the original ideological and political values. On the other hand, we see social protests in defense of fundamental rights of democracy, as in 1968. Architecture is now reinvestigating those ephemeral experiments that have endured half a century as new "stone monuments" capable of indicating new perspectives for both research and design. Placing UFO group at the core of the contemporary debate means investigating their formal and seductive aspects, but also the ideological, political and social values with which objects, installations and happenings have been innervated, transforming them into devices of an architecture nourished by literature, art and political commitment for the foundation of an eloquent and activist project even more radical than the well-known Superstudio and Archizoom. The collaboration between Beatrice Lampariello and False Mirror Office lead to a monograph focused on the UFO’s work and an evaluation of their legacy relative to contemporary architecture.

Summary:
''Photography and Architecture: 1839–1939'' presents works that show aspects of the history of architecture seen through photography, and the history of photography through architecture. One hundred and forty-eight photographs from the collection of the CCA have been selected to demonstrate the great richness of the subject, including the origins of photography in Britain and France, the pioneering expeditions accompanied by photographers who recorded the great monuments of the world from the Mediterranean to the Far East, and the great surveys of the nineteenth century. Individual images document the expansion of the United States in works that reflect the growth of American cities. Urban renewal is seen in works from the Second Empire in France and from the 1880s in England and Scotland. Works from the American renaissance in photography of the 1920s and 1930s explore new aspects of the modern vertical city. The final section of the book is devoted to works that reflect the architectural ideas developped in Germany between the two world wars. Introduction by Phyllis Lambert.

Mais en dehors de ces circonstances exceptionnelles, l'architecture n'a pas vocation à être transportée pour être exposée grandeur nature. Comment alors la montrer ? Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, en 1879, réussit à faire accepter l'idée d'un musée de moulages, comprenant aussi photographies et maquettes d'architecture, installé dans le palais du Trocadéro. Exposer l'architecture est aujourd'hui la vocation de la Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, qui hérite de cette conscience patrimoniale et la projette dans l'avenir, en associant la conservation à la création, insistant sur l'idée d'un patrimoine vivant et d'une architecture contemporaine respectueuse du contexte où elle s'inscrit. Simon Texier, historien de l'architecture, raconte ici l'aventure fondatrice de la Cité - toute jeune institution culturelle qui réunit trois institutions préexistantes : le musée des Monuments français, l'École de Chaillot et l'Institut français d'architecture. Son ambition est immense : construire et faire partager par le plus grand nombre une culture architecturale et urbaine.

Almost fifty years ago on the same grounds, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. "America's Front Lawn," the National Mall was not only designed for large political and social gatherings but also to collect and showcase America's culture. Located in the heart of Washington D.C., the Mall is an historic yet evolving example of urban design. Visited annually by approximately thirty million people, the Mall is also a victim of its own success as its grounds and monuments have been steadily eroded by overcrowding in addition to budgetary and administrative pressures. In response to this decline, the newly-formed Trust for the National Mall recently sponsored a competition to redesign key areas of the National Mall. It's time to critically discuss the space that perhaps more than any other reflects what the nation was, is, and wants to be - the National Mall.

En cinquante planches, il donne à voir l'image de Paris depuis la fin du Moyen-Age et les traces anciennes conservées dans la cité moderne. Les plans, commentés, sont précédés d'un exposé sur ce qu'ils apportent à la compréhension de la ville. Que représentent-ils au-delà des rues, des parcelles, des maisons, des monuments ? Pourquoi a-t-on représenté Pans ? Pour préparer des projets d'aménagement par un savant arpentage ou pour magnifier les réalisations des princes ? Comment l'a-t-on représenté ? Dans les vues cavalières qui révèlent sa complexité, dans les plans géométriques qui auscultent la forme urbaine ? L'analyse de cette cartographie montre des familles, des générations, une évolution non linéaire : le plan a valeur d'image qui excite le désir de découverte du voyageur et où l'habitant reconnaît sa ville ; il répond également à une recherche de l'exactitude satisfaisant l'esprit technique et tendant à l'abstraction.
