Résumé:
Like a ship cast on the shore by some Mediterranean tempest, the E 1027 house, built in 1929 by legendary Irish designer Eileen Gray with and for her architect friend Jean Badovici, was little more, seventy years later, than a desolate wreck. But since 2014 an exceptional combination of the knowledge and skills of a whole host of architects and historians, coupled with a harmonious collaboration between public authorities and private initiative, have succeeded in setting the building afloat again. E 1027 can now be seen with all the beauty of its original lines, a white vessel emerging from a lemon grove with its blue awning as a sail. Up till now only familiar through the black and white pictures of the albums of its time, its interiors bring together ingenious pieces of furniture and a collection of chairs, lamps and mirrors which have acquired iconic status, and which have been meticulously restored. The heart of this book is a guided tour through this resuscitated architectural masterpiece, with details of its remarkable furnishings and decoration, all illustrated with the photographs of Manuel Bougot.

Résumé:
OASE 87 is dedicated to the work of British architect Alan Colquhoun, situated within today’s debate on architecture criticism. The issue presents not only the different themes that Colquhoun addressed in his work, but also the various positions taken in his career as scholar, critic and practitioner. Alan Colquhoun managed for decades to link his practical experiences with a particular way of thinking about architecture history and theory. Colquhoun’s work illustrates that architecture – even today – needs its own theory and cultural position.

Jean-Louis Cohen, one of today's most distinguished architectural historians and critics, gives an authoritative and compelling account of the twentieth century, tracing an arc from industrialization through computerization, and linking architecture to developments in art, technology, urbanism and critical theory.

Résumé:
Contrairement à ce que suggèrent la plupart des histoires, la Seconde Guerre mondiale à été un moment fondamental dans la modernisation tant théorique que pratique de l'architecture. Architecture en uniforme ouvre de nouvelles perspectives sur l'histoire architecturale de la guerre, rendant compte des épisodes qui se sont succédé entre le bombardement de Guernica en 1937 et celui d'Hiroshima en 1945, et qui ont conduit à la suprématie définitive des langages modernes. Les thèmes parcourus, comme le rôle des villes dans la guerre aérienne, les nouveaux bâtiments des usines, la participation directe de l'architecture à la guerre, les mégaprojets et les développements dans la vie civile après la guerre, révèlent l'ampleur de la contribution des architectes à tous les aspects de la mobilisation totale de ces années douloureuses.

Résumé:
Contrary to what is suggested by most historical accounts, the Second World War was a key moment in the modernisation of architectural theory and practice. Architecture in Uniform offers a new perspective on the architectural history of the war, documenting a series of episodes that took place between the bombings of Guernica in 1937 and Hiroshima in 1945, leading to the definitive supremacy of modernism in architecture. It discusses topics such as the role of cities in the air war, the new buildings erected for industrial production, architecture's participation in actual warfare, and wartime mega-projects and post-war developments in the civilian sphere, revealing the extent of the contribution made by architects to all aspects of the mobilisation that characterised the war years.
