Summary:
The second volume tracing the history of Britain's most famous cinema circuit continues the story from 1942 when J. Arthur Rank took control after the death of its founder, Oscar Deutsch. Odeon expanded rapidly and was eventually merged with Rank's other circuit, Gaumont cinemas, as part of The Rank Organisation. The book shows in great detail how Odeon adapted to the wide screen and roadshow eras, built new cinemas and converted existing ones to two and three screens, but went into a sharp decline until the turnaround in cinemaattendances from 1985, fuelled by the arrival of American-style multiplex.By entering the race to build multiplexes and further subdividing its older sites, Odeon reasserted itself to become the largest chain in the UK. The book is copiously illustrated with 16 pages in colour and includes a list of the films given an Odeon circuit release from 1942 to 1959 and a complete record of all the cinemas ever operated by Odeon until it was sold by Rank in 2000.

Summary:
Portées par la numérisation de l’économie, par l’explosion des échanges de données, du Cloud et des objets connectés, les infrastructures numériques sont en passe de devenir l’un des plus importants postes de consommation électrique du XXIe siècle. 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:
The automobile has brought about changes to the landscape that are nothing short of revolutionary. The dramatic reconfiguration of cities and the countryside to accommodate our taste for freedom of movement has been matched by a change in the way buildings themselves have been planned. Today, CAD and car-building techniques have opened up new possibilities for architectural design and this book, edited by the London-based journalist Jonathan Bell, argues that the influence of the car on architectural and urban thinking is greater than ever. A compelling manifesto for the future of building design.

Summary:
Le thème du sanatorium est récurrent dans l'histoire de l'architecture moderne. Présent dans les ouvrages de référence, il a aussi sa place dans les monographies consacrées aux architectes majeurs du XXe siècle : le sanatorium est un édifice emblématique dans l'œuvre de Jan Duiker aux Pays-Bas, d'Alvar Aalto en Finlande, et pour la France de Tony Garnier, d'André Lurçat, de Pol Abraham et d'Henry-Jacques Le Même. La tuberculose, la Peste Blanche, comme on nomme alors le fléau, fait au début du XXe siècle 100 000 victimes par an en France ; un gigantesque programme de lutte contre la maladie, en partie inspiré par les Etats-Unis, et dont l'apogée se situe entre les deux guerres, est à l'origine de la construction des sanatoriums sur le territoire national. La valeur thérapeutique du sanatorium se fonde sur l'hypothèse de la cure d'air, de lumière, de soleil, et sur l'isolement des malades contagieux, conduits à contempler un paysage naturel à l'écart des méfaits de la ville industrielle. Ce vaste défi, mené en l'absence de moyens thérapeutiques pleinement efficaces, s'est traduit en France par près de 250 réalisations, qui s'échelonnent du début du XXe siècle aux années 1950 ; l'avènement des traitements par antibiotiques annonce alors la désuétude de l'institution et de ses instruments. L'ouvrage analyse principalement le cas des réalisations françaises dans leur rapport aux influences allemandes, suisse, hollandaise, et américaine. La plupart des typologies produites relèvent en effet de transferts étrangers, et malgré les projets de Tony Garnier, il faut attendre les années 1920 et les tenants français du Mouvement moderne apportent des réponses exemplaires.
