Summary:
The passage of time and the reality of an aging survivor population have made it increasingly urgent to document and give expression to testimony, experience, and memory of the Holocaust. At the same time, artists have struggled to find a language to describe and retell a legacy often considered "unimaginable." Contrary to those who insist that the Holocaust defies(...)

Summary:
The passage of time and the reality of an aging survivor population have made it increasingly urgent to document and give expression to testimony, experience, and memory of the Holocaust. At the same time, artists have struggled to find a language to describe and retell a legacy often considered "unimaginable." Contrary to those who insist that the Holocaust defies representation, Image and Remembrance demonstrates that artistic representations are central to the practice of remembrance and commemoration. Including essays on representations of the Holocaust in film, architecture, painting, photography, memorials, and monuments, this thought-provoking volume considers ways in which visual artists have given form to the experience of the Holocaust and addresses the role that imagination plays in shaping historical memory. Among works discussed are Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin, Rachel Whiteread's Holocaust Memorial in Vienna, Morris Louis's series of paintings Charred Journal, photographer Shimon Attie's Writing on the Wall, and Mikael Levin's series Untitled. Image and Remembrance provides a thoughtful site for personal reflection and commemoration as well as a context for reconsidering the processes of art making and the cultural significance of artistic images.

Le 15 avril 2019, sous les yeux sidérés du monde entier, Notre- Dame de Paris brûlait. Si cet incendie est indiscutablement d’origine accidentelle, toutes les conditions pour qu’il survienne et prenne les dimensions que l’on connaît étaient réunies : un entretien insuffisant du monument, des économies effectuées aux dépens de la sécurité, un système anti-incendie peu(...)

Si cet incendie est indiscutablement d’origine accidentelle, toutes les conditions pour qu’il survienne et prenne les dimensions que l’on connaît étaient réunies : un entretien insuffisant du monument, des économies effectuées aux dépens de la sécurité, un système anti-incendie peu performant et un chantier de restauration qui constituait un facteur de risques supplémentaires. À travers le récit des faits, Didier Rykner s’intéresse à tous les aspects de ce drame. Comment a-t-il été possible et quelles en sont les causes probables? Pourquoi a-t-il suscité autant de polémiques (les dons des grands mécènes, les délais, la reconstruction de la flèche, la loi d’exception, la pollution au plomb…), dont certaines (la question des abords ou les fouilles archéologiques) sont toujours d’actualité? Didier Rykner montre que le chantier de restauration se déroule malgré tout dans de bonnes conditions, avec un espoir de pouvoir entrer bientôt dans un édifice qui ne sera pas « plus beau » qu’avant, mais qui sera dans un état de conservation beaucoup plus satisfaisant, dont on aimerait qu’il soit aussi celui des autres monuments historiques.

Architecte, restaurateur des grands monuments historiques de la France médiévale, dont la Sainte-Chapelle, les cathédrales Notre-Dame de Paris, d’Amiens et de Reims, la Cité de Carcassonne, et le château de Pierrefonds, et théoricien de l’architecture, Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc demeure la figure centrale de l’architecture au xixe siècle — une influence qui dépasse largement le champ du patrimoine. À travers une analyse érudite et nuancée, cet ouvrage explore la pensée de l’architecte sous l’angle de l’imaginaire historique, en mettant en lumière les tensions entre sa volonté de restitution du passé et son engagement dans une modernité en devenir. En s’appuyant sur un vaste corpus de sources, l’auteur interroge les fondements psychologiques, scientifiques et politiques d’une œuvre profondément marquée par le rationalisme, le romantisme et les idéaux progressistes du xixe siècle. Ce livre propose ainsi une relecture en profondeur de Viollet-le-Duc, révélant la force de son identification au Moyen Âge et la façon originale de tourner sa pensée architecturale vers l’avenir. Il met également en évidence la nature charnière, complexe et tourmentée de la période durant laquelle l’architecte sera actif et qui s’étend des lendemains de la Révolution à l’aube de la société industrielle.

Summary:
L’institution du patrimoine, qu’elle concerne des collections, des monuments, ou encore des manifestations immatérielles, fait appel à des valeurs en principe partagées au sein d’une société : savantes, politiques, religieuses, idéologiques, esthétiques. Communément, son effet aujourd’hui est identifié à un développement culturel, associé à des activités qui vont de l’histoire publique à l’économie du tourisme. Pour autant, des origines à nos jours, la patrimonialisation a suscité amitiés et inimitiés, débats et controverses autour de représentations ou de faits jugés difficiles ou dissonants. Chacune des dix études réunies ici s’applique à examiner un exemple de ces transformations récentes du patrimoine qui ont suscité des controverses plus ou moins aiguës, à la lumière de l’histoire, de la géographie ou des études culturelles. Le livre, construit dans le dialogue franco-allemand, privilégie les riches matériaux que fournissent les deux histoires nationales. Mais il s’intéresse aussi à des phénomènes mondialisés, comme l’interprétation de l’âge atomique, la réflexion post-coloniale, ou l’intérêt inédit pour les ruines industrielles. Dans tous les cas, il s’agit d’éclairer les enjeux des intérêts et des pratiques que révèlent à chaque instant les reconfigurations changeantes de l’effet patrimoine.

Summary:
Historiens, architectes, urbanistes ont contribué très largement à la connaissance de Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, dit Le Corbusier. Cependant le bilan social des réalisations de ce grand architecte n'a que très rarement fait l'objet d'une expertise sociologique. Comment vit-on dans l'architecture de Le Corbusier? Quelles implications ses conceptions urbanistiques ont-elles eues sur la vie des habitants? L'architecture moderne a-t-elle répondu à ses promesses ainsi qu'aux attentes de ses utilisateurs? Deux ans d'enquête auprès des habitants de la Maison Radieuse de René, une des cinq unités d'habitation de grandeur conforme réalisées par Le Corbusier, ont permis de confronter les conceptions de l'architecte à la réalité des pratiques habitantes. L'étude explore les modes de vie, les choix résidentiels, les aménagements, les sociabilités, les rapports à l'environnement paysager et urbain dans une perspective de comparaison avec les projets et les théories de Le Corbusier. Cette recherche met en évidence le rapport identitaire des habitants à la Maison Radieuse, voire à l'architecture et à -l'architecte; montre comment les grandes transformations sociales et économiques du XXe siècle rencontrent ce projet avant-gardiste; souligne les évolutions d'un habitat social stigmatisé comme tel et cependant classé au titre des Monuments Historiques.

From Athens and Arcadia on one side of the Aegean Sea and from Ionia, Lycia, and Karia on the other, this book brings together some of the great monuments of classical antiquity --among them two of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the later temple of Artemis at Ephesos and the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos. Drawing on the Greek and Lycian architecture and sculpture in the British Museum--a collection second to none in quality, quantity, and geographical and chronological range--this lavishly illustrated volume tells a remarkable story reaching from the archaic temple of Artemis, the Parthenon, and other temples of the Athenian Acropolis to the temple of Apollo at Bassai, the sculptured tombs of Lycia, the Mausoleum, and the temple of Athena Polias at Priene. Ian Jenkins explains each as a work of art and as a historical phenomenon, revealing how the complex personality of these buildings is bound up with the people who funded, designed, built, used, destroyed, discovered, and studied them. With 250 photographs and specially commissioned line drawings, the book comprises a monumental narrative of the art and architecture that gave form, direction, and meaning to much of Western culture.

Summary:
Intense attention has been paid to Detroit as a site of urban crisis. This crisis, however, has not only yielded the massive devaluation of real estate that has so often been noted; it has also yielded an explosive production of seemingly valueless urban property that has facilitated the imagination and practice of alternative urbanisms. The first sustained study of Detroit’s alternative urban cultures, The Unreal Estate Guide to Detroit initiates a new focus on Detroit as a site not only of urban crisis but also of urban possibility. The guide documents art and curatorial practices, community and guerilla gardens, urban farming and forestry, cultural platforms, living archives, evangelical missions, temporary public spaces, intentional communities, furtive monuments, outsider architecture, and other work made possible by the ready availability of urban space in Detroit. The guide poses these spaces as “unreal estate”: urban territory that has slipped through the free- market economy and entered other regimes of value, other contexts of meaning, and other systems of use. The appropriation of this territory in Detroit, the Guide suggests, offers new perspectives on what a city is and can be, especially in a time of urban crisis.

Summary:
In the past few years, Mexico has brought to light a new generation of architects whose extraordinary vision and productivity has positioned the country among the most creative design cultures of the world. Under his own firm FR-EE, since 2000 Fernando Romero has designed and created a number of projects which represent a new vision of Mexican and world architecture. Romero's approach to architecture is innovative and an inspirational tool for empowering future generations. The volume will focus on three themes that intertwine throughout the content of the book. On-site photographs (mainly aerial views) highlight the different places where FR-EE works, from urban centers to the desert. The location is what drives FR-EE's creative work, while the practice strives to investigate the dynamic forces of each site and client. Photographs give the reader a vision of how Romero's perspective shifts between different focuses of references, and reimagines them in new symbolic visions of the world (from monuments to colors, from natural elements to animals). The images include renderings, photographs, diagrams, plans, and sections. The projects are presented in situ and through architectural drawings, so as to explain the projects' concepts and contents.

Summary:
Conceived as part of the one-year investigation Catching Up with Life, A Section of Now aims to re-establish a dialogue between architecture and society that would allow for architecture to begin to contend with and address our changed and changing social norms. The publication serves as a meditation on new behaviours, rituals, and values and their spatial implications and seeks to catalyze urban and architectural interventions that accommodate, influence, and, in some cases, pre-empt our new lived realities. Authors address topics ranging from the safety of digital spaces to how normative life trajectories affect the elderly and the many selves each of us puts forward, while architects present frameworks for spaces for blended families, thirty-year-old retirees, and contested monuments, among many others. Bringing together analytical essays about the contemporary moment and the direction in which society is moving, projective texts that outline new architectural types to address societal needs, alongside television series, photography, and architecture and design projects, A Section of Now outlines a new relationship between the spaces in which we live and the ways we live within them.

We inhabit a world of more than humans. For life to flourish, we must listen to the calls this world makes on us, and respond with care, sensitivity and judgement. That is what it means to correspond, to join our lives with those of the beings, matters and elements with whom, and with which, we dwell upon the earth. In this book, anthropologist Tim Ingold corresponds(...)

Summary:
We inhabit a world of more than humans. For life to flourish, we must listen to the calls this world makes on us, and respond with care, sensitivity and judgement. That is what it means to correspond, to join our lives with those of the beings, matters and elements with whom, and with which, we dwell upon the earth. In this book, anthropologist Tim Ingold corresponds with landscapes and forests, oceans and skies, monuments and artworks. To each he brings the same spontaneity of thought and observation, the same intimacy and lightness of touch, but also the same affection, longing and care that, in the days when we used to write letters by hand, we would bring to our correspondences with one another. The result is a profound yet accessible inquiry into ways of attending to the world around us, into the relation between art and life, and into the craft of writing itself. At a time of environmental crisis, when words so often seem to fail us, Ingold points to how the practice of correspondence can help restore our kinship with a stricken earth.
