Résumé:
This volume is a nuanced intellectual history of architectural innovation in California between 1920 and 1970. It demonstrates how this prolific era of modern architecture was propelled by divergent views about the dynamic between interior and exterior, the idea of permanence, and the extent to which architects could exercise control over the inhabitants of their structures.

Résumé:
Modern architecture is inseparably linked with the Industrial Revolution.

Résumé:
Modern architecture is inseparably linked with the Industrial Revolution. Industrially manufactured materials such as iron, steel, reinforced concrete, glass, asbestos, and later also plastics, have helped to make architecture modern. The Industrial Revolution also set planetary warming in motion. Thus, it is not far-fetched to claim that there are also correlations between modern architecture and planetary warming. This book is a rough sketch of a proposed history of modern architecture since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. It aims to break away from the established neural networks of the profession’s collective memory of how modern architecture’s history has unfolded, and offers the beginning of a rewiring: by introducing new actors, and highlighting ideas and projects that deal with climate and environment, while relegating some of the usual stars of modernism and postmodernism to the background.

Résumé:
Guide d’architecture de l'Algérie et ses grandes villes - Alger, Oran, Annaba. Pour chacune des villes, une cartographie légendée avec un renvoi au texte illustré par immeuble en facilite la compréhension. Une introduction historique par ville la situe dans son contexte et amène le lecteur à la période qui nous concerne. De plus, quelques encarts sur la carrière des principaux architectes cités donnent un éclairage qu'il était temps de saisir car les archives sont bien souvent difficiles à retrouver et pour certaines, encore aujourd'hui, elles sont en perdition malgré la prise de conscience de l'intérêt culturel et historique qu'elles représentent. Les bâtiments sélectionnés dans le présent ouvrage ont été regroupés sous forme de promenades ; le visiteur garde néanmoins la possibilité d'organiser lui-même le cheminement de son parcours en utilisant la cartographie, les photos et les commentaires. Texte en français et en arabe.

Résumé:
From the 1920s through the 1950s, two individuals, Joseph Urban and Norman Bel Geddes, did more, by far, to create the image of “America” and make it synonymous with modernity than any of their contemporaries. Urban and Bel Geddes were leading Broadway stage designers and directors who turned their prodigious talents to other projects, becoming mavericks first in industrial design and then in commercial design, fashion, architecture, and more. The two men gave shape to the most quintessential symbols of the modern American lifestyle, including movies, cars, department stores, and nightclubs, along with private homes, kitchens, stoves, fridges, magazines, and numerous household furnishings.
