L'usine, où suaient nos grands-parents, s'est changée au musée. La bibliothèque, rebaptisée médiathèque, brille comme un diamant au coin de la rue. Les vieux quartiers, où l'on hésitait naguère à s'aventurer, sont des centres commerciaux à ciel ouvert. Les ronds-points sont nos arcs de triomphe...

Résumé:
L'usine, où suaient nos grands-parents, s'est changée au musée. La bibliothèque, rebaptisée médiathèque, brille comme un diamant au coin de la rue. Les vieux quartiers, où l'on hésitait naguère à s'aventurer, sont des centres commerciaux à ciel ouvert. Les ronds-points sont nos arcs de triomphe... En pleine révolution, la géographie de nos villes bouscule nos repères familiers. L'école, la mairie, la halle ne se ressemblent plus. L'architecture n'affirme rien, elle interroge. Jean-Louis André donne ici une réponse en images, retraçant une histoire originale de l'urbanisme.

This authoritative book offers contributions from leading practitioners and scholars presenting an assessment of the current state of conservation in the UK. In addition to tracing the developments in conservation over the past fifty years it raises concerns about the ambivalence within government towards heritage protection.

Résumé:
Gauged brickwork is a term used to describe the superior finish required in the details of an important brickwork elevation, such as moulded reveals, arches, string courses and other forms of ornamentation. This is achieved through shaping the individual bricks to produce a high degree of regularity, accurate dimensions and extreme fineness in the joints. This practical handbook combines simple diagrams and photographs to describe each stage of the process, from rubbing, cutting and shaping the bricks to laying and carving them. It emphasizes the importance of this skill in repairing and repointing rubbed and gauged brickwork and the damage that can be done by those unskilled in the craft.
