Résumé:
Leon van Schaik AO, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University for 30 years and mentor to countless Australian architects, lays down his highly influential creative philosophies in his latest book, ''Architecture in its Continuums.'' The text represents a distillation of a lifetime of thinking about architecture and the ways in which it is practiced, researched and taught. The book remediates a gap that van Schaik sees in current architecture writing. There are, he says, ''very few books on architecture that, I believe, concern the practice of architecture itself, as distinct from the large body of writing about the history, sociology and environmental science of architecture.'' Van Schaik contends that we all share a common experience of space and light. Therefore, the architect's skill in the crafting of space and light has the potential to intimately connect architecture with humanity.

Il était extraordinaire, propagandiste, artiste, architecte immensément talentueux. On lui avait élevé une statue colossale. Il régnait. Et voici qu’au cinquantenaire de sa disparition son monument se craquelait. Des nuées d’articles hostiles parurent dans le monde entier. Le souvenir de ses accointances d’avant-guerre et de ses dix-huit mois à Vichy jaillissait entre les fissures. Son goût pour l’autorité, son urbanisme, funèbres oiseaux. Ce qui devait être une commémoration est devenu procès. Cet ouvrage, érudit et drôle, est un appel à une histoire qui serait libre, sans tabou, sans passion triste ni rancune. Quantités d’oiseaux y paraissent, laids ou gracieux, fragiles ou cruels, dionysiaques ou parfaitement idiots qui lui font une guirlande et l’enveloppent du bruissement des fables, des mythes et des poèmes.

Résumé:
Inspired by Lewis Mumford’s 1932 challenge enjoining architects to go beyond visual experimentation and create complete human environments, "Environmental Design" details the rise of modernist ideas in the architectural disciplines within the novel context of sociopolitical rather than aesthetic responsibilities. Unlike today’s "starchitects," environmental designers saw themselves as orchestrators of decision making more than auteurs of form and style. Viewing architectural practice as rooted in Progressive Era politics and the democratic process rather than the European avant-garde, Sachs plots how these social concepts spread via influential architecture schools. This rich examination of pedagogy and practice is a map to both the history of environmental design and the contemporary consequences of architecture understood as a pressing social concern.

Résumé:
Modern hygienic urbanism originated in the airy boulevards, public parks, and sewer system that transformed the Parisian cityscape in the mid-nineteenth century. Yet these well-known developments in public health built on a previous moment of anxiety about the hygiene of modern city dwellers. These forgotten efforts to renew and reform the physical and moral health of the urban subject found expression in the built environment of the city—in the gymnasiums, swimming pools, and green spaces of private and public institutions, from the pedagogical to the recreational. Sun-Young Park reveals how these anxieties about health and social order, which manifested in emerging ideals of the body, created a uniquely spatial and urban experience of modernity in the postrevolutionary capital, one profoundly impacted by hygiene, mobility, productivity, leisure, spectacle, and technology.

Construire et démolir du XVIe au XXIe siècle confronte les regards d'observateurs - artistes, journalistes, amateurs -, mais aussi ceux des acteurs qui travaillent sur les lieux - ingénieurs, architectes, entrepreneurs et, ce qui est plus rare, ouvriers. Fruit d'une collaboration étroite entre historiens de l'art et historiens des techniques, l'ouvrage dévoile les multiples enjeux du chantier : techniques, sociaux, politiques et artistiques. Par ce rassemblement sans précédent de documents et d'oeuvres visuelles, c'est à une réflexion sur la dimension anthropologique de l'acte d'édifier et sur l'importance de cet acte pour nos sociétés que ce livre entend contribuer.

Martin Filler's "contribution to both architecture criticism and general readers' understanding is invaluable," according to Publishers Weekly. This latest installment in his acclaimed Makers of Modern Architecture series again demonstrates his unparalleled skill in explaining the revolutionary changes that have reshaped the built environment over the past century and a half. These studies of more than two dozen master builders--women and men, celebrated and obscure, idealists and opportunists--range from the environmental pioneer Frederick Law Olmsted and the mystical eccentric Antoni Gaudí to the present-day visionaries Frank Gehry and Maya Lin.
