Les bâtisseurs inconnus d'Angkor Vat comme ceux de la mosquée Asa'ir, à Zabid, ont en commun avec ceux de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque une même soif de transcendance. Leurs édifices nous parlent de Dieu. Partout, ils nous questionnent sur notre rapport à la mort et notre perception de l'au-delà.

Résumé:
Les bâtisseurs inconnus d'Angkor Vat comme ceux de la mosquée Asa'ir, à Zabid, ont en commun avec ceux de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque une même soif de transcendance. Leurs édifices nous parlent de Dieu. Partout, ils nous questionnent sur notre rapport à la mort et notre perception de l'au-delà. Que se passe-t-il en nous lorsque nous pénétrons dans un espace sacré ? D'où vient notre émotion, notre trouble ou notre émerveillement ? Sous tous les horizons, nous sommes fascinés par ce qui s'exprime dans la lumière, la pierre et le bois : l'incandescence de l'ombre. C'est cette fascination que Vincent Borie décrypte en convoquant l'espace des temples égyptiens, la chapelle de Ronchamp de Le Corbusier, les proportions idéales de Piero della Francesca, les églises de Mario Botta ou de Tadao Ando. Le suivre est une aventure qui nous mène du profane au sacré.

Each is accompanied by a contemporary response that contextualises Banham’s text, drawing out reflections on what the critic’s work means today.

Résumé:
Media theory has long overlooked the built environment and its communicative capacity: how built structures and spaces convey meaning through material embodiment and symbolization. "Architecture as communication" advances the idea that built environments function as media of communication. Using practice theory in conjunction with the concept of style, this book is anchored in three historical determinants: the quest for perfect proportion in buildings, the belief in architectural determinism, and the ongoing efforts within other media to influence how those who experience built environments understand them. Ross Eaman explores how houses, schools, places of worship, factories, office buildings, stores, malls, opera houses, plazas, and parks have meaning for people as subjective life-worlds. "Architecture as communication" proposes media theory that articulates the social construction of meaning as a unique way of understanding the built environment – one in which the users and observers of structures and spaces participate along with architects and designers.

Résumé:
Home is shaped by many factors: culture, region, environment, citizenship, economics, state of mind, and more. Edited by Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Christina De León, and Michelle Joan Wilkinson, ''Making Home'' explores the diverse perspectives on home across the United States, US Territories, and Tribal Nations to reveal how design impacts this country, its value systems, and the people who inhabit its landscapes. Positioning home not only as a place of dwelling but also as a complex and highly subjective ecosystem, contributors show h Probing urgent topics related to home such as colonialism, technological innovation, landscapes and the environment, and aesthetics and culture, ''Making Home'' uses the framework of design to pair investigative and practical analyses with imaginative and speculative ones. Contributors include designers, scholars, writers, artists, and critical thinkers across disciplines whose work and lived experiences illustrate specific circumstances that shape the contemporary home.ow notions of home resonate through private and public consciousness to inform the shared or conflicting histories that impact our country.

Résumé:
"The architecture of the wire" explores the development of telecommunications infrastructure and its impact on the architectural and urban culture of the modern age—from poles, wires, and cables, to "micro-architectures," such as the théâtrophone and the telephone booth. Starting with the intrepid worldwide infrastructures of the late nineteenth century, Carlotta Darò proposes a new history that explores the multiple links and crossroads of such technical "things" with architecture and art. Based on extensive research of North American company archives, and French institutional ones, and drawing on secondary literature in art and architectural history, media studies, and the history of technology, Darò examines the aesthetic implications of material objects that have forever changed our urban, rural, and domestic environments.
