Résumé:
How and why Palladio has become the most influential architect of the Renaissance and beyond.For more than four and a half centuries, his works have continuously provided a touchstone for architects, not only in the Veneto, where architects were able to scrutinize his works firsthand, but abroad as well. Indeed, his followers are legion; however, the manner in which his oeuvre has been interpreted varied considerably according to time and place. His successors have ranged from those advocating a return to classical orthodoxy to those who have sought to borrow from his work more freely. Yet as the call for architectural reform grew ever more urgent over the course of the eighteenth century, this polysemy came to be overshadowed by a rationalized classical interpretation of Palladio's work.

Elle diffuse les principaux représentants du modernisme belge et international (V. Bourgeois, L.H.

Avec la collaboration étroite du poète et critique Georges Linze et conscients de la dimension transversale de l’architecture, les auteurs ouvrent largement leurs colonnes aux expressions diverses de l’art moderne (poésie, sculpture, peinture…). Sensible et pragmatique, la ligne éditoriale soutient le dialogue de toutes les disciplines qui peuvent apporter leur pierre à « une meilleure architecture ». Il est aujourd’hui également attesté que la revue fait partie des revues les plus significatives en Europe durant cette période. Une production critique, la réédition des 115 numéros permet de comprendre le contexte, les stratégies, les acteurs et les enjeux d’un mouvement dont les théories marqueront longtemps les architectes de l’après-guerre.

Résumé:
Dans cet ouvrage initialement publié en 1984 et rapidement devenu introuvable, Jean-Louis Cohen analyse un moment-clé pour la théorie et la pratique de l’architecture contemporaine, marqué par les échanges intenses des années 1970 entre l’Italie et la France. Il en fut à la fois l’un des témoins et l’un des acteurs. Cette chronique permet de découvrir les causes et les effets de la coupure constatée entre les architectes et les intellectuels en France, depuis la moitié du XIXe siècle, au travers d’une réflexion sur les rares contacts qu’ils entretinrent et d’une réflexion sur les malentendus qui jalonnèrent leurs rapports. Cette coupure est rendue particulièrement patente par la confrontation des situations respectives de la France et de l’Italie. Au début des années 1970, une véritable fascination pour la culture architecturale italienne saisit les Français, attentifs aux nouveaux discours sur l’urbanité et sur l’histoire. Une perspective s’ouvrit ainsi pour le dépassement du fossé existant, un nouveau modèle conduisant les architectes à se penser comme concepteurs et comme intellectuels.
