Elles tentent d'éviter l'écueil consistant à présenter ce domaine aux yeux du grand public comme une valeur culturelle fondée soit sur la dimension patrimoniale, soit sur les prouesses techniques des grands ouvrages d'art, ou encore sur la dimension événementielle de certaines réalisations qui se prêtent aux jeux des caméras et deviennent de parfaits décors pour le fond d'écran des journaux télévisés. Ce texte est destiné à initier une démarche personnelle, à stimuler la curiosité du lecteur en introduisant l'architecture par son versant sensible et émotionnel. Il s'adresse aux curieux, amoureux des villes, des parcs et des jardins, à ceux qui aiment le paysage, ceux qui n'hésitent pas à quitter leur espace domestique pour se perdre dans l'espace urbain.

The track is planted with trees, and a walkway lists each date of deportation, the number of Jews, and the chilling destination. In this thought provoking book, a group of German artists and thinkers use the Gleis 17 memorial to consider whether it is possible to maintain memory in a monument, with some surprising conclusions. Contributors include NY Columbia University Professor Jorge Otero-Pailos, Diana Schulle, Andrea Wandel, Wolfgang Lorch, Harald Welzer and others.

Résumé:
Modernism ushered in some of the most exciting innovations in art and literature, from Fauvism, Cubism, and Dada, to the novels of James Joyce and Franz Kafka, to such provocative works as Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain." But Modernism also left many people puzzled in its wake. How can a routine bathroom fixture be considered a work of art? Shouldn't a novel have a beginning, a middle, and an end--or at least a story? In this publication, Christopher Butler provides a coherent account of Modernism across various aesthetic and cultural fields. Butler examines how and why Modernism began, explaining what it is and showing how virtually all aspects of 20th and 21st century life have been influenced by its aesthetic legacy. Butler considers several aspects of modernism, including some classic modernist works, movements and notions of the avant garde, and the idea of "progress" in art. Finally, Butler sheds light on modernist ideas of the self, subjectivity, irrationalism, people and machines, and the political dimensions of modernism as a whole.

Résumé:
This publication uses the physical evidence of community plans, building typologies and structural systems, and landscape to gain an understanding of the five great migrations that settled William Penn's Commonwealth. The rising industrial culture found its aesthetic counterpart in the architecture of Frank Furness who turned the dross of industry into the gold of design; his values continued through his students William L. Price and George Howe and on into the late twentieth century in the careers of Louis Kahn and Robert Venturi. In addition to Philadelphia, the book surveys the rival German-influenced small cities of the Piedmont, the brief but flourishing of wealth in the twin coal country cities, and a host of secondary county towns and villages that carry on vernacular building traditions overlaid with metropolitan architecture serving regional and national clients. This volume includes a glossary, bibliography, and over 400 illustrations (photographs, maps, and drawings). It is a volume in the Buildings of the United States series of the Society of Architectural Historians.
