Résumé:
Edifiée entre 1234 et 1238 sur ordre de Louis IX, la chapelle Saint-Louis appartient au tout début du gothique rayonnant. Par son plan et son architecture, elle est la préfiguration de la grande Sainte-Chapelle que saint Louis fera ensuite bâtir dans l'enceinte du Palais de la Cité, à Paris. En guise de clefs de voûtes, sept portraits réalistes de la famille du roi, disposés par ordre de préséance face au souverain. C'est dans la cette chapelle, construite près du château royal de Saint-Germain, que Baudoin II, empereur de Constantinople, remet à saint Louis, en 1238 les reliques de la Couronne d'épines du Christ. Ces reliques sont destinées à la Sainte-Chapelle de Paris qui ne sera consacrée qu'en avril 1248. Telle qu'elle est restituée aujourd'hui, la chapelle palatine est un fac-similé du XIIIe siècle d'une fiabilité parfaite, résultat d'une approche archéologique approfondie par Eugène Millet, l'architecte de la restauration du château à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Résumé:
Often hailed as one of the best travel books ever written, Venice is neither a guide nor a history book, but a beautifully written immersion in Venetian life and character, set against the background of the city's past. Analysing the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, its tourists, its curiosities, its smells, sounds, lights and colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated and brought vividly to life.

Berlin sera peut-êre un jour. Lacs, forêts, béton, parois rutilantes, éboulis tragiques, verre, aciers, murs troués, ronces, bières, drogues, ordures. Strates d'Histoire découpée et feuilletée.

Berlin est une âme, en somme. Une âme affinée dans la cruauté des temps. Avec le ciel dessus.

Résumé:
In an era of accelerating population growth, mass urbanisation, and increasing pressure on the natural environment, the megacities of China's eastern seaboard have become a focal point of architectural and urban-design attention. The reform and opening-up era has touched China's major cities in different ways, variously affecting the existing fabric of dynastic capitals, trade hubs, and former European colonies and concessions; this in turn has provided the setting for a range of complex reactions by contemporary architects. The Architectural Guide China provides an invaluable window into this work, with city by city coverage including historic maps and background information on urban form. Building on the authors' years of experience leading architectural study tours, this book is the first comprehensive English-language survey of architecture in China presented in the form of a travel guidebook.

Résumé:
How does the world’s fifth largest population express itself in terms of architecture? Is there any common language when it comes to planning and construction? For the past seven decades, both Indonesian and international architects have developed new ideas in order to fulfill the demands of the country’s 250 million inhabitants, in line with economic progress. Imelda Akmal’s Architectural Guide Indonesia presents over one hundred must-visit buildings which date from the post-independence era, starting in 1945, to the present day. This book explores buildings that still embrace traditional Indonesian architectural heritage as well as those whose design is based on practical considerations, thus offering a valuable insight into the works of emerging and established architects. In total the guide features carefully selected buildings with all salient information as to their dates of construction, architects and locality by way of QR codes.
