Résumé:
Architecture affects people. The architecture of hospitals contributes to the well-being and recovery of patients. This bold proposition dates back to the late 18th century, and has been a recurring theme in the functional development of hospital architecture ever since. The most recent manifestation of this was the phenomenon of 'Evidence-Based Design', which originated in the USA. This methodology compares the effects of various spatial factors and provided indisputable evidence that architecture does indeed work for the first time. The positive influence of architecture is one of the two cornerstones of "The architecture of hospitals". The other is architecture as an historical discipline with a wide-ranging cultural dimension. The hospital, being a public and representative building with a special societal function, is the ideal vehicle to express this cultural dimension. From French and German examples it seems that good architecture can, moreover, contribute to an agreeable, orderly and well maintained environment, which perhaps has a greater impact on the functioning of the hospital than the effects of Evidence-Based Design. Architecture as architecture and as medicine is the theme of "The architecture of hospitals". Partially based on a project of the same name initiated by the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), which included various conferences, studios and workshops, the book bears no resemblance to the standard bundle of conference proceedings. Instead it is a richly illustrated publication which is constructed around five themes : culture, healthcare concepts, Evidence-Based Design, technology and country-specific presentations. With texts by : Cor Wagenaar (ed.), Abram de Swaan, Stephen Verderber, Charles Jencks, Aaron Betsky, Roger Ulrich et al.

Résumé:
Culminant à soixante mètres d'altitude, la colline de Chaillot est un des points hauts, naturels, qui dominent la vallée de la Seine à Paris. Par sa situation " admirable ", elle fait longtemps rêver les puissants et leurs architectes. De nombreux projets grandioses - équipements de prestige ou monuments à la gloire des pouvoirs en place - s'y succèdent. Aucun ne voit cependant le jour et le Trocadéro devient progressivement un lieu de fêtes urbaines. Les premiers aménagements significatifs de la colline sont conçus pour l'Exposition universelle de 1867. Ces aménagements - qui contribuent grandement à la formation du luxueux quartier de Chaillot à partir des années 1870 - préfigurent ceux qui sont réalisés à l'occasion des Expositions suivantes de 1878 et de 1937. Le palais du Trocadéro est le premier grand édifice parisien conservé à l'issue d'une Exposition universelle. Il inaugure une tradition qui permet à Paris de s'enrichir par la suite de la Tour Eiffel (1889), du Grand Palais, du Petit Palais et de la gare d'Orsay (1900), du musée des Colonies (1931) puis du nouveau palais du Trocadéro : le palais de Chaillot (1937). Du palais du Trocadéro au palais de Chaillot, voici l'histoire de transformations considérables et durables, des hommes qui les ont mises en œuvre et des débats qu'elles ont soulevés.

Il libro è dunque uno strumento prezioso tanto per la conoscenza del complesso, quanto in funzione dell’ambizioso percorso di riqualificazione che Sport e Salute ha avviato.

Résumé:
Shifting away from the celebration of greenhouses as technical mastery and exceptional architectural feats, "Greenhouse stories" is an invitation to critically look at greenhouses as controversial (agri)cultural production tools. Re-examining them from a social, historical, environmental and creative perspective, the essays and interviews featured in this book highlight stories of vegetal displacement, colonial appropriation and pollution. Yet they also help us to understand that greenhouses can be fertile spaces for women's empowerment and the nurturing of socially-engaged and eco-conscious projects. At a time of great anthropocentric pressure on the planet, we believe that questioning the greenhouse as a symbol and a tool can help us re-establish more humble and meaningful connections with the Earth and its living communities.
