Résumé:
Comment se traduit la méditation sur le temps qui passe en Occident et en Orient ? Quels sont les rapports entre l'architecture et le temps ? Si pour les occidentaux, la figure de la ruine reste un des lieux communs les plus propices à cette réflexion, d'autres figures traversent l'esthétique japonaise, du théâtre nô à la poésie en passant par l'art des jardins et(...)

Résumé:
Comment se traduit la méditation sur le temps qui passe en Occident et en Orient ? Quels sont les rapports entre l'architecture et le temps ? Si pour les occidentaux, la figure de la ruine reste un des lieux communs les plus propices à cette réflexion, d'autres figures traversent l'esthétique japonaise, du théâtre nô à la poésie en passant par l'art des jardins et l'architecture. Le jardin à l'abandon (haien), la trace (ato) et la demeure provisoire (yado) révèlent une manière éphémère et transitoire d'habiter le monde. Alors qu'en Occident, la menace du temps ne devient effective qu'une fois l'acte de création terminé, on constate au Japon une fragilisation volontaire de l'oeuvre dès son édification. Le dialogue esthétique entre deux cultures instauré par l'auteur se prolonge auprès des artistes contemporains dont le travail, par-delà les frontières et les traditions, s'inscrit lui aussi dans une réflexion sur le passage du temps.

Résumé:
This book examines the architectural tradition which developed with the religious culture of Islam. Essentially heir to the Roman development of space, it had its source in the ubiquitous courtyard house, while the development of the mosque as both place of worship and the centre of the community, it forms a response to the requirements of prayer set out in the Koran, was given a range of forms as the conquests of Islam came up against the traditions of Egypt, Persia, India and China. The tradition developed further in tombs, palaces and fortifications, all of which are described and illustrated here. The architecture of "Islam" encompasses a high proportion of the world's most beautiful buildings. This book covers the whole range in unprecedented breadth and depth.

Résumé:
The Forbidden City (Zijin Cheng) lying at the heart of Beijing formed the hub of the Celestial Empire for five centuries. Over the past century it has led a reduced life as the refuge for a deposed emperor, as well as a heritage museum for monarchist, republican, and socialist citizens, and it has been celebrated and excoriated as a symbol of all that was magnificent and terrible in dynastic China’s legacy. The Forbidden City’s vermilion walls have fueled literary fantasies that have become an intrinsic part of its disputed and documented history. Mao Zedong even considered razing the entire structure to make way for the buildings of a new socialist China. The fictions surrounding the Forbidden City have also had an international reach, and writers like Franz Kafka, Elias Canetti, Jorge Luis Borges, and Mervyn Peake have all succumbed to its myths. The politics it enshrined have provided the vocabulary of power that is used in China to the present day, though it is now better known as a film set or the background of displays of opera, rock, and fashion.

This publication is a book of stories, depictions of vanished ways of life told from the point of view of a contemporary observer. The stories tell how people lived in Japan some two hundred years ago, during the late Edo Period, when traditional technology and culture were at the peak of development and realization, just before the country opened itself to the West and joined the ranks of the industrialized nations. They tell of people overcoming many of the identical problems that confront us today--issues of energy, water, materials, food and population--and forging a society that was conservation-minded, waste-free, well-housed, well-fed and economically robust.
