Summary:
The destruction meted out on Britain's city center during the 20th century, by the combined efforts of the Luftwaffe and brutalist city planners, is legendary. Medieval churches, Tudor alleyways, Georgian terraces, and Victorian theatres vanished forever, to be replaced by a gruesome landscape of concrete office blocks and characterless shopping malls.

Medieval churches, Tudor alleyways, Georgian terraces, and Victorian theatres vanished forever, to be replaced by a gruesome landscape of concrete office blocks and characterless shopping malls. Now, for the first time, architectural historian Gavin Stamp shows exactly what has been lost. Reproduced in this haunting volume are hundreds of top-quality photographs of cities, showing streets and buildings that are gone forever. The accompanying text traces their creation and destruction, remembering the massive campaign to save the Euston Arch, wantonly demolished in 1962, and mourning the loss of lovely medieval Coventry, which was already doomed by the city planners even before German air raids intervened. Alternately fascinating, enraging, and heartbreaking, this is an extraordinary evocation of Britain's architectural past, and a much-needed reminder of the importance of preserving heritage.

Summary:
What does it mean to practice architecture today? Does Italian architecture exist? What characterizes it? What values and objectives do you refer to when designing your architecture, and why? These are the questions recently put to 20 cutting-edge architectural firms working in Italy today. The answers come together in "Italy Now? Country Positions in Architecture", which presents the architects’written responses in parallel with their design work. Edited by Alberto Alessi, this bilingual book also contains critical essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Gabriele Mastrigli. Noted Italian photographers Gabriele Basilico, Francesco Jodice, Armin Linke, and Alberto Muciaccia have contributed their visions of Italy - the land and people as well as the architecture - to deepen the context of this book. Based on an exhibit held at Cornell University as well as on two related conferences, one in Ithaca and the other in New York City, "Italy Now?" offers an intriguing look at contemporary Italian architecture - its physical expression and the thinking behind it.

He explores the Modernist movements of the early twentieth century – Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Purism – and concludes with the ‘post-modernist’ experiments of the 1980s and 1990s. He shows how the ‘tradition of the new’ became the creative credo of a small group of progressive artists and how, with the emigration of leading German modernists to Britain and the USA in the 1930s, the theory and practice of Modernism became widespread. What had begun as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered across Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century.

Such claims position Copenhagen as an opportune site to engage in a wider debate on contemporary urban ideals, prompting questions such as: What is sustainability or livability? On whose terms are these concepts defined? What agendas are included or excluded? The increasing authority attributed to city-ranking metrics prompts a second line of inquiry. How are the territorial and conceptual limits of a city drawn to define it as an object of measurement? What is Copenhagen as a territory in this case – the urban core, the municipality, the urbanized area, the regional urban system, or…? And how does this impact our understanding of something as complex and manifold as a city?

Oscillant entre effroi et fascination, cet état émotionnel suscite une expérience limite avidement recherchée : pleins d’attentes et de désirs, les voyageurs se sont aventurés dans les montagnes pour projeter des rêves très différents sur cette « nature sauvage », encore inexplorée. Comment le sublime a-t-il influencé l’architecture construite dans les Alpes, des débuts du tourisme jusqu’à nos jours ? Guidée par cette question centrale, l’auteur analyse l’architecture alpine dans son évolution historique et propose également une approche critique du tourisme actuel. Un livre qui nous invite à réfléchir sur l’avenir de la construction dans les Alpes, mais aussi sur notre rapport à la nature.
