Résumé:
En marge des immenses étendues urbaines qui parsèment aujourd'hui l'archipel, l'esprit du Japon vit dans ses maisons de campagne. Amy Katoh - accompagnée de Shin Kimura, l'un des photographes les plus en vue du pays - a voyagé dans un Japon reculé et paisible, à la découverte de ces sanctuaires où le temps semble s'être arrêté.

En s'appuyant sur 450 splendides photos en couleurs, cet ouvrage présente les visages du Japon d'hier et décrit l'évolution du mode de vie rural traditionnel. C'est un réservoir d'idée inestimable pour tous ceux qui souhaitent faire entrer la nature et la beauté dans leur vie de citadins modernes.

Résumé:
''Dwelling in the World'' considers family, house, and home in Tianjin to explore how tempos and structures of everyday life changed with the fall of the Qing Empire and the rise of a colonized city. Elizabeth LaCouture argues that the intimate ideas and practices of the modern home were more important in shaping the gender and status identities of Tianjin’s urban elites than the new public ideology of the nation. Placing the Chinese home in a global context, she challenges Euro-American historical notions that the private sphere emerged from industrialization. She argues that concepts of individual property rights that emerged during the Republican era became foundational to state-society relations in early Communist housing reforms and in today’s middle-class real estate boom.

Résumé:
Catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition "Ottoman architecture of the 16th century: mosques of Sinan. Drawings by Augusto Romano Burelli and Paola Gennaro", september-november 2008, Frankfurt, Deutsches Architekturmuseum. The architect (1489-1588) was a master mosque builder who employed perfect proportions to create astonishing lightness in architecture--especially in his gravity-defying cupolas. He is renowned for having borrowed Roman and Byzantine techniques in order to create something new in mosque design--centralized organisms of absolute space, unhindered by pillars or columns. This beautifully illustrated volume, which features stunning reconstructed architectural renderings and diagrams, is the first to fully analyze his method.

Résumé:
Continuing the "Architecture in Context" series, this second volume narrates the development of architecture across a huge swathe of the world, from the Indian subcontinent to the Japanese archipelago, over a period extending from prehistory to the arrival of Islam and its distinct traditions from the eleventh century onwards. Fantastically illustrated, with over 1,000 photographs and drawings, Christopher Tadgell covers the major architectural traditions of India, China, Thailand and Japan as well as the spectacular architecture of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Korea, Myenmar, Bhutan and Tibet. As with the first volume - "Antiquity" - "The East" presents not only the buildings themselves, but the cultures and peoples that they are a part of. Unprecedented in its scope, this volume is a beautiful guide to the fascinating history of Eastern architecture.
