Summary:
Today, architecture schools are truly international in their intake, as students are able to select from courses worldwide. For school leavers and undergraduates, the choice is bewildering. Where different institutions provide very different courses and ultimately very different architects, the very act of shopping for a degree is an incredibly important stage in an architecture student’s career. This book is set to become a touchstone publication for anyone involved in architectural education, from the academic to the aspiring student. It provides interviews with four of the most influential educators/heads of schools around the world: Peter Cook, Chair, the Bartlett School of Architecture, London, UK; Bernard Tschumi, Dean, School of Architecture at Columbia University, USA; Leon van Schaik, Innovation Professor of Architecture, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia; Elia Zenghelis, Berlage, Dusseldorf. This is followed by short self-biographies of eleven further prominent figures including Rem Koolhaas, Anthony Vidler and Paul Virilio. It is the first publication of its kind to comprehensively cover architectural education in its current context as an international market. It will feature the first invaluable listing of architectural schools worldwide: no dedicated listing currently exists in printed form or on the web, giving students a useful reference from which to start the decision making process.

Summary:
Discipline émergente, la muséologie se situe à l'intersection de différents domaines des sciences sociales. Elle est sociologie lorsqu'elle questionne la place du musée dans la société et qu'elle analyse ses publics. Elle est pédagogie par la prise en compte de la mission didactique de l'institution muséale. Elle participe pleinement des sciences de la communication au sein desquelles ses spécificités restent largement à explorer. Elle est aussi histoire puisque celle-ci lui est intimement liée par la dimension patrimoniale du musée. L'ambition de cet ouvrage est de couvrir le très large éventail des points de vue portés sur le musée, de montrer leurs interrelations et de mettre en lumière les conditions de l'équilibre - nécessaire - entre les différentes fonctions que le musée est appelé à exercer au sein de la société. De nombreux exemples illustrent le propos et offrent un aller-retour permanent entre théorie et pratique. L'ouvrage s'intéresse à l'ensemble des musées quelle qu'en soit la nature. Les spécificités (musées d'art, de sciences, de société, etc.) sont abordées lorsque nécessaire. Plutôt que de souligner les différences, les auteurs ont préféré mettre l'accent sur les points communs et les convergences, afin de dégager les traits spécifiques de l'institution muséale. Synthèse fondée sur les publications les plus récentes, cette introduction à la muséologie s'adresse à tous les étudiants concernés, ainsi qu'aux professionnels des musées, aux chercheurs en sciences humaines et à tous ceux que le monde des musées intéresse.

Ces réalisations, pour la plupart réalisées en France mais aussi en Italie, en Espagne, en Suisse et aux Pays-Bas, présentent une grande diversité d'échelle, de systèmes constructifs, de matériaux et d'aménagements; halles neuves ou réhabilitées, seulement alimentaires ou polyvalentes, associées ou non à d'autres équipements publics, souvent intégrées dans un projet de requalification d'un quartier, elles témoignent toutes d'une inventive recherche architecturale.

Summary:
It's an unfortunate reality that architects practicing in the great expanse between the East and West coasts all too often find themselves beyond the radar of the profession's so-called "tastemakers." And it's especially a shame in the case of Julie Snow, a Minneapolis-based architect who has, over the past decade, developed one of the most inventive practices anywhere in the United States. Snow's meticulously constructed work has the structural opacity and formal integrity that characterized Mies van der Rohe's architecture, but with a sense of humanity and a sensitivity to the environment that seems borrowed from her Midwestern progenitor, Frank Lloyd Wright. This, the first monograph on Snow's work, provides in depth documentation of 14 of her residential, institutional, corporate, and public projects, including the Koehler Residence in New Brunswick, Canada, a series of Minneapolis Light Rail Stations, the Minnesota Children's Museum, and the University of South Dakota School of Business.
