Résumé:
Parmi les stigmatisations formulées par l'Internationale situationniste, l'urbanisme occupe une place spécifique en tant que forme spatiale de domination de la marchandise ou comme décor naturel du capitalisme. Ses diatribes et attaques constituent une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'idéologie dominante du fonctionnalisme et du modernisme, entendue comme voie(...)

Ses diatribes et attaques constituent une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'idéologie dominante du fonctionnalisme et du modernisme, entendue comme voie royale du progrès économique et social. Nulle part mieux que dans les transformations de l'art de bâtir, la prégnance de cette nouvelle doxa n'est manifeste. En dépit de quelques travestissements culturels, l'architecture renoue avec sa fonction politique d'inscrire la division de la société dans l'espace, imposant à chaque classe sociale sa place.

Résumé:
In 1856, the English photographer Francis Frith set out on the first of three tours of Egypt and the Holy Lands. Traveling up the Nile and then on to the Sinai, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, Frith systematically crafted exquisite pictures of ruins, landscapes, and legendary sites. He then published his views in England and America in a variety of formats, becoming something of a celebrity in photographic circles. This book, the first to place Frith's Egyptian and Levantine images in cultural context, reveals the distinct meanings these ostensibly "topographic" pictures held for the photographer and his Victorian audience. A Quaker by birth and an entrepreneur by nature, Frith brought to his photographic projects a sense of mission: to revive and confirm the stories of the Bible, while offering the region to armchair travelers as a seamless Oriental milieu of Romantic reverie. Francis Frith in Egypt and Palestine narrates the political, intellectual, and social concerns that make Frith representative of England's encounter with the East in the nineteenth century. Historian of photography Douglas R. Nickel brings a sophisticated interdisciplinary approach to bear on the subject in order to expose the complexity of Frith's image-making, setting the photographs against a Victorian backdrop of religious debate, imperialist thought, Romantic philosophy, and Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics.

During those years, Siza completed numerous important commissions, including the architecture faculty building at the University of Porto in 1985 and the Fundação Serralves museum of contemporary art in that same city in 1999. In 1988 he restored the Chiado district of Lisbon, Portugal, after a devastating fire; and his Portuguese Pavilion for Lisbon's EXPO 98 was internationally recognized. While Siza was busy with all of these buildings and plans, the first phase of the Bouça project was falling ever deeper into disrepair, hampered by municipal neglect. It has since been brought up to Siza's standards, and this publication appraises the project, now happily completed. Siza's sketches, many of which are published here for the first time, reveal the tenacity of his search for the right solution.
