Résumé:
Most of Europe’s housing was built between 1945 and 1975. It took only 30 years to not only renew the stock but also significantly expand it. More than 50 estates and buildings from throughout Europe and the United Kingdom are presented in this detailed compendium of post-war housing, which delves into how this renewal process was implemented. Comparisons reveal universal themes, as well as local aspects integrated in the architecture. As a whole, the research forms the basis for a fresh assessment of buildings from this period. Contrary to the generally negative image they have received, the projects are highly diverse, experimental, and specific to the local context.

Résumé:
Les écoles d’architecture dans leur valeur manifeste comme des lieux d’expérimentation pédagogique et des emblèmes de la création architecturale . Dans ces bâtiments où l’architecture s’enseigne et s’apprend, les multiples enjeux de la création architecturale se donnent à lire, à voir, à comprendre. Le fort investissement symbolique dont les écoles d’architecture font l’objet, tant de la part de l’État, initiateur de leur construction, que de leurs concepteurs et usagers, les hisse au rang de modèles ou de manifestes architecturaux. Leur histoire rejoint celle de l’architecture de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.

Résumé:
"Atlas of the Copenhagens" explores the urban territories of Copenhagen, often identified in city-ranking indices as the world’s most sustainable and livable city. Such claims position Copenhagen as an opportune site to engage in a wider debate on contemporary urban ideals, prompting questions such as: What is sustainability or livability? On whose terms are these concepts defined? What agendas are included or excluded? The increasing authority attributed to city-ranking metrics prompts a second line of inquiry. How are the territorial and conceptual limits of a city drawn to define it as an object of measurement? What is Copenhagen as a territory in this case – the urban core, the municipality, the urbanized area, the regional urban system, or…? And how does this impact our understanding of something as complex and manifold as a city?
