Résumé:
This book tells the tale of the prolific Italian architect, inventor, farmer, writer, and engineer Gaetano Ciocca, whose career took him from the battlefronts of World War I to Stalin’s Russia, Mussolini’s Italy, FDR’s America, and finally to postwar liberal-democratic Italy. Like celebrated counterparts such as Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, Ciocca was a visionary so confident in his vision of a future in which all aspects of life would be rationalized and modernized that no set of practical or political obstacles could ever stand in his way. Ciocca’s endeavors included the development of "fast houses," a "theater for 20,000 spectators," the "guided roadway," and the rationalist pig farms referred to by Carlo Belli as "Ciocca’s Grand Hotel for Pigs."

"Barcelona 1992-2004" offers a selection of chronologically arranged projects that provide an overview of the period that commences with the 1992 Olympic Games and culminates in the huge cultural event that is the Universal Forum of Cultures-Barcelona 2004. The selection has focused in particular on projects involving the city’s openness to the sea and those which have managed to adapt to its existing residential fabric. Presented as separate chapters are projects for new high-rise buildings and schemes for the 22@ plan and the Universal Forum of Cultures. The selection is preceded by a text by William J. R. Curtis, in which he explains how the development of Barcelona in recent years can be set within policies of a more international kind, followed by an exhaustive urbanistic analysis of the city of Barcelona over the last few decades by Josep Maria Montaner. Photographs by Eva Serrats. With full-colour photographs of the city and plans and illustrations of some of the structures, this volume is a comprehensive guide to Barcelona’s contemporary urban structures.

Résumé:
Chicago is universally recognized as the cradle of modern architecture. It is known worldwide for the development, beginning in the late 1800s, of the renowned "Chicago School" of commercial building. In the early 1900s, Chicago saw the birth of Wright's "Prairie School" of residential design, which gave rise to the modern, open-plan house we know today. Other world-renowned architects were also based in Chicago, such as Louis Sullivan, who designed the Chicago Stock Exchange, and Daniel Burnham, architect of the famous Rookery Building of the 1890s. The 1940s were to see the completion of Mies van der Rohe's revolutionary Illinois Institute of Technology and his astonishing Lake Shore Drive apartment buildings. Skidmore Owings & Merrill's landmark Inland Steel Building was finished in 1954, their John Hancock Center in 1970, and their Sears Tower in 1974. Philip Johnson and John Burgee's 190 South LaSalle Street office tower went up in 1987. The 200 illustrations in this volume all come from The Art Institute of Chicago's repository of 150,000 architectural drawings, vintage photographs, models, and building fragments, which comprise one of the most important such archives.

Résumé:
Les formes architecturales et urbaines de la période 1850 à 1950 représentent actuellement une part essentielle du paysage bâti des villes. Une situation qui est le résultat, sur la rive nord de la Méditerranée, des processus d’urbanisation qui ont accompagné la révolution industrielle et, rive sud, de la domination coloniale ou des politiques nationales d’occidentalisation. Or ces ensembles font l’objet ou commencent seulement de campagnes d’investigation, de recensements en vue de l’inscription d’un certain nombre d’édifices ou de lieux au titre du patrimoine. Afin d’instruire ces procédures, neuf des quinze associés du programme Euromed Héritage II, financé par la Commission européenne, ont joint leurs efforts pour dresser un état de la question en Algérie, Égypte, Espagne, France, Grèce, Italie, Maroc, Tunisie, Turquie. Chaque pays s’est employé à répertorier les données relatives au patrimoine récent et à les qualifier. L’objectif a été de répertorier les sources, de constituer un inventaire bibliographique afin de mettre en évidence les thématiques successivement privilégiées et, selon les époques, les objets délibérément occultés ou faisant problèmes. Un tel recensement permet de comparer les démarches employées tant par les historiens que par les praticiens, leurs évolutions et ruptures dans le temps. Ainsi est constitué un recueil d’information sur la manière de faire l’histoire de l’architecture et de la ville. La confrontation des neuf bilans nationaux éclaire tant les spécificités que les traits communs de ce foyer de culture qu’est le bassin méditerranéen.

Résumé:
This international exploration of Jewish and Holocaust museums, modern synagogues, Jewish community centers and schools demonstrates how these important structures lend architectural shape to the Jewish identity. Architects commissioned to build religious-based structures are uniquely responsible to the history and values of the community they represent. Nowhere is this more evident than within the Jewish structures of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, a time of disruption, destruction, immigration, and reconstruction of Jewish society. Accompanying a touring exhibition, this important work demonstrates the fundamental differences among fifteen museums, synagogues, community centers and schools throughout the world. It covers sites in America, where the architecture of Jewish institutions looks back on a legacy of uninterrupted development; in Israel, where the great wave of immigration adopted modernist as well as Mediterranean traditions; and in Europe, where rebuilding and reconciliation attempt to balance a history of pain and tragedy.
