Summary:
Quand les vitres furent-elles installées aux fenêtres ? A quelle époque l’armoire a-t-elle remplacé le coffre ? Pour quelles raisons le couloir fut-il inventé seulement au XIXe siècle ? De quelles manières autrefois décorait-on sa maison? De la ferme d'autrefois avec son unique pièce sombre, chauffée par la cheminée, aux appartements modernes qui agencent autour d’un couloir des pièces bien éclairées et fonctionnelles, la maison s’est métamorphosée de fond en comble. Révolutions techniques et améliorations pratiques ont fait leur œuvre. Mais des sentiments nouveaux, comme la pudeur et le besoin de s’isoler, ont aussi compté dans la modification des intérieurs. L’histoire de la maison en raconte d’autres : celle du confort qui suit la lente conquête du bien-être des esprits et des corps ; celle des territoires de l’intime ; celle enfin de l’évolution des postures et des gestes domestiques dont la beauté a souvent inspiré les artistes.

Summary:
Renowned as one of the finest printmakers of the eighteenth century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi is best known for his etched views of Rome and its antiquities, as well as for his highly influential suite of drawings entitled Carceri, or Imaginary Prisons. Trained as an architect, Piranesi revolutionized architecture and design through his combination of decorative elements and ornamental motifs from the Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek, and Roman styles; yet his work as the designer of interiors and furnishings has been largely uncelebrated. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Smithsonian s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Piranesi as Designer explores the far-reaching impact of Piranesi s modernist style on three centuries of architecture and design.

Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as found in that comfortable home.

Summary:
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as found in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "write a history of the world without leaving home." The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demostrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.

Summary:
A re-evaluation of three 'red buildings', designed by Jim Stirling : the University of Leicester Engineering Building (and James Gowan), the History Faculty and Library at Cambridge and the residential Florey Building at Queen's College, Oxford. These are buildings much praised by architects, yet hated by the members of the universities that use them. Alan Berman has drawn together essays which put the buildings in their historical context, and which explore both their radical features and their technical failings. In addition, twenty-four of today's most famous architects - including Will Alsop, Norman Foster, Richard MacCormac and Richard Rogers - explain and partly seek to defend, the importance of these radical and controversial buildings. With newly commissioned photography, as well as drawings taken from the Jim Stirling archives, this book attempts a serious re-engagement with the continuing debate between modern architects and the public.
