Les centres de données se multiplient en conséquence, et se déclinent en une diversité formelle surprenante: des «boîtes» anonymes standardisées, des architectures manifestes dans des campus high-tech, des bâtiments transformés tels d’anciens bureaux ou centraux téléphoniques. Visibles ou discrets, parfois même cachés dans des souterrains ou des bunkers pour échapper à la menace climatique ou terroriste, les centres de données sont omniprésents, que ce soit dans les centres-villes, dans les zones périphériques ou dans les régions rurales, reculées et désertiques. Qu’ils saturent les réseaux électriques, qu’ils soient intégrés dans des cercles d’échanges de chaleur ou d’électricité de périmètres variables, ils redéfinissent à chaque fois le projet énergétique des espaces dans lesquels ils s’implantent.

Summary:
A dacha is a country house, made of wood, used by Soviet citizens to escape the rigors of the city for a rural idyll. Widespread in the countries of the former USSR, this important cultural and architectural form has been largely ignored academically. In ''Dacha'', Fyodor Savintsev documents this particularly Russian phenomenon. His photographs constitute a unique record of a rapidly vanishing fairy-tale wooden world. The word ''dacha'' has been used to describe constructions ranging from grand imperial villas to small sheds. Originally bestowed by the Tsar to reward courtiers, this custom continued following the revolution, with Soviet cooperatives building dachas for their members. Supposedly for the benefit of laborers, in reality they were destined for those favored by the State, including famous writers, architects and artists from Pasternak to Prokofiev. The fall of the Soviet Union accelerated their use, as economic uncertainty forced city dwellers toward self-sufficiency. The dacha tradition has survived revolution, war and the collapse of Communism, becoming an integral part of life in the process. Using contemporary photographs to showcase these uniquely individual buildings for the first time, alongside an introduction explaining their historical and cultural context, Dacha is the only publication of its kind.

Summary:
The Queen Alexandra Sanatorium in Davos is a masterpiece of early modernist architecture by the Swiss architects Pfleghard & Haefeli (Schatzalp, Davos) and the renowned civil engineer and bridge builder Robert Maillart. A new form of architecture was forged here, full of contradictions and compromises and the result of intense collaboration between engineer, architect, and client. It stands at the threshold of modernism, which is largely characterized by the use of reinforced concrete. Apart from certain early mentions in architectural history, very little has been written about this Swiss precursor of modernist architecture. Drawing on numerous archival records, Daniel Korwan now provides the first detailed chronology of this 1909 building, thus expanding the record on the historical reception of modernism.

Installée en 1969 à limite sud-ouest de cette dernière, elle s’est ensuite recentrée puis déployée grâce à ses instituts, avant de trouver dans la Citadelle un ancrage doublement symbolique : patrimonial, d’une part, avec l’inscription d’un ensemble ultramoderne au sein d’un monument historique parmi les plus marquants de la ville ; territorial d’autre part, avec l’amorce d’un dialogue entre l’université et les quartiers nord. Durant cinquante ans, l’université a ainsi raconté l’histoire d’une ville et de son territoire, dont elle a mis en évidence les choix stratégiques et les mutations. Elle a pour cela fait appel à certains des plus grands noms de l’architecture européenne, notamment Renzo Piano, Francesco Venezia, Henri Gaudin et Bruno Gaudin.

Summary:
In the 1970s, a void opened at the heart of architecture. In hotels, offices, public buildings, and commercial centers, the atrium emerged globally to challenge the modernist legacies of form and function, altering the pattern and experience of cities. While often appearing at vast scale and to striking effect, the atrium also became omnipresent and mundane. In this lively critique, Charles Rice charts the atrium's appearance in the 1970s and its development through the 1980s, as it accompanied profound shifts in the discipline and practice of architecture. During this period, architectural practice especially in the United States and United Kingdom was changing rapidly, due in part to the manifold effects of deregulation. All aspects of the way buildings were designed, developed, regulated, built, managed, and occupied were being reshaped. A practice guided by the progressive tenets of modernism was being turned into a professional service fully integrated within neoliberal social and economic imperatives. As Rice shows, the atrium gives this story a distinct spatial and material figure, one that offers an inside view of architecture in transformation.
