Résumé:
In Imagining the Urban, Shonaleeka Kaul turns to Sanskrit literature to discover the characteristics—both physical and social—of ancient Indian cities. Kaul examines nearly a thousand years of Sanskrit kvyas to see what India’s early historic cities were like as living, lived-in, entities—and discovers that the cities were vibrant and teeming with variety and life. As much about Sanskrit literature as about urban spaces—insofar as that literature reveals significant aspects of the Indian urban past— Imagining the Urban shows that Sanskrit literature is a rich source for historical understanding. Advocating the kvyas as an important historical source, this book shows distinctive ways of thought and behavior that relate to tradition, morality, and authority. With its provocative new questions about early Indian cities and ancient Indian texts, this book will be an essential read for scholars of urban history, Sanskrit writings, and South Asian antiquity.

Résumé:
Pluralism, fusion and hybridity are the dominant traits of cultural change in twenty-first-century India. The resultant architecture reflects this fabric of one of the world's largest and most populous nation states. Architect, educator and author Rahul Mehrotra has been at the forefront of the Indian contemporary architecture scene for more than two decades, and Architecture in India since 1900 is his take on the topic across four themed chapters: "Global Practice: Expression of (Impatient) Capital"; "Regional Modernism"; "Alternative Practice: Towards Sustainability"; and "Counter Modernism: Resurfacing of the Ancient." Each chapter introduces exponents of these distinct genres of architectural expression, examining the work of more than 60 contemporary architects in more than 500 photographs. Architects, students, academics, architecture buffs and admirers of India's famed heritage of architectural pioneering will find this volume a rich trove of design ideas.

Résumé:
Au seizième siècle, l’Empire ottoman est à son apogée. Alors que Michel-Ange travaille à la construction de Saint-Pierre du Vatican, Sinan, architecte impérial du sultan, érige les plus célèbres mosquées ottomanes, parmi lesquelles la Süleymaniye et la Selimye. Qui aurait pu prédire le destin de cet enfant chrétien – sa famille est originaire d’Arménie – arraché aux siens pour servir l’Empire ottoman ? Enrôlé et converti, le jeune Sinan parcourt le vaste territoire ottoman au sein du corps des janissaires. De Damas en Bulgarie, de Bagdad à Istanbul, ce fils de charpentier passe vingt-cinq ans dans le génie à construire et restaurer des ponts, des forteresses et autres édifices civils ou religieux. En 1538, il a cinquante ans quand, ses mérites reconnus, il est nommé architecte impérial sur ordre du sultan. Sous les règnes de Soliman le Magnifique, de Selim II, puis de Murat III, Sinan construit plus de cinq cents bâtiments (mosquées, palais, écoles, ponts, hôpitaux…) à travers l’empire. Illustré de photographies d’Ara Güler ainsi que de plans d’architecte, Sinan, architecte de Soliman le Magnifique présente les plus grandes réalisations de l’architecte ottoman et atteste l’accomplissement d’un homme qui a laissé son empreinte sur une civilisation entière. Son œuvre et ses mémoires constituent un témoignage essentiel sur l’âge d’or ottoman.
