Soane intended the collection to be an ‘Academy of Architecture’ that would inspire students for generations to come, and today it continues to attract more than 90,000 visitors every year.Written by the present director of the museum and featuring specially commissioned photographs by Derry Moore, this absorbing account of a unique, perpetually surprising cabinet of curiosities offers a fascinating insight into the genius of an exceptional man.

Fabien Deglise est descendu sous le béton où, à une autre époque, une ville souterraine a été rêvée à l'abri du froid brutal de l'hiver et des chaleurs accablantes de l'été. Il s'est aventuré dans les développements successifs d'une ville intérieure qui, il n'y a pas si longtemps, faisait dire de Montréal qu'elle serait la métropole du 21e siècle. Il a arpenté ce réseau disparate, complexe, pour en comprendre les enjeux, en saisir le fonctionnement - à rebours des idées reçues.

Figure majeure de l'architecture de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle en France, il est l'auteur ou le coauteur de quelques-uns des bâtiments les plus marquants de l'après-guerre. On citera notamment l'imprimerie Mame à Tours, l'usine Renault de Flins, le siège de l'Unesco à Paris, le CNIT à la Défense ou, plus tard, le musée de la Civilisation gallo-romaine à Lyon. Au fil de ces projets, Zehrfuss collabore avec les plus grands ingénieurs ou constructeurs de son temps (Jean Prouvé, Pier Luigi Nervi).

Summary:
'There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism', is the orthodoxy of the twenty-first century. All too often, ordinary people across the world are being told that the problem of organization is already solved, or that it is being solved somewhere else, or that it need not concern them because they have no choices. This dictionary provides those who disagree with the evidence. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism. Part reference work, part source book, and part polemic, this dictionary provides a rich understanding of the ways in which fiction, history and today's politics provide different ways of thinking about how we can and should organize for the coming century. Martin Parker is Professor of Organisation and Culture in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Valérie Fournier is Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Patrick Reedy lectures in organizational behaviour and human resource management at the Business School of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
