Résumé:
Lors de la réoccupation des villes de Palestine au printemps 2002, l'armée israélienne a utilisé une tactique inédite: au lieu de progresser dans les rues tortueuses des vieux quartiers ou des camps de réfugiés, les soldats passaient de maison en maison, à travers murs et planchers, évitant ainsi de servir de cibles aux résistants palestiniens. Cette méthode, "conceptualisée" sous le nom de "géométrie inversée" par des généraux qui aiment à citer Debord, Deleuze et Guattari ou Derrida, représente un tournant postmoderne dans la guerre des villes.

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.
