Résumé:
From the 1950s to the 1980s, the open-air playground was a social laboratory. Innovative, wacky, and educational playground designs emerged in European and American cities, as well as elsewhere around the world. Artists, landscape designers, architects, and activists sought to provide children with the best possible place to play, while also reimagining cities and communities as a whole. This expanded new edition revives the wealth of ideas of that period to inspire us today. It offers many previously unpublished images, numerous new portraits—especially of female protagonists of the time—as well as findings from the latest research on playground design.

Résumé:
A phenomenology of the mall: If the mall makes us feel bad, why do we keep going back? In a world poisoned by capitalism, is shopping what makes life worth living? Kate Black grew up in West Edmonton Mall – a mall on steroids, notorious for its indoor waterpark, deadly roller coaster, and controversial dolphin shows. But everyone has a favourite mall, or a mall that is their own personal memory palace. It's a place people love to hate and hate to love – a site of pleasure and pain, of death and violence, of (sub)urban legend. Blending a history of shopping with a story of coming of age in North America's largest and strangest mall, "Big mall" investigates how these structures have become the ultimate symbol of late-capitalist dread – and, surprisingly, a subversive site of hope.

Résumé:
In "Celluloid Skyline" James Sanders shows that the dream city of the movies, created by more than a century of films, may hold the secret to the allure and excitement of the actual place. Here are the cocktail parties and power lunches, the subway chases and opening nights, the playground rumbles and rooftop romances. Here is an invented Gotham, a place designed specifically for action, drama, and adventure, a city of bright avenues and mysterious side streets, of soaring towers and intimate corners, where remarkable people do exciting, amusing, romantic, scary things. Sanders takes us from the tenement to the penthouse, from New York to Hollywood and back again, from 1896 to the present, all the while showing how the real and mythic cities reflected, changed, and taught each other. Illustrated with scores of rare and unusual production images culled from Sanders's decade-long research in studio archives and private collections around the country, "Celluloid Skyline" offers a new way to see not only America’s greatest metropolis, but cities the world over

Résumé:
Tour à tour objet de rêverie poétique et de spéculation philosophique, symbole de grandeur politique, incarnation de l’universalité du savoir et de la fragilité de son support après la destruction par le feu, la bibliothèque d’Alexandrie fascine. En 1988, l’UNESCO lance un concours international d’architecture pour la construction d’une nouvelle bibliothèque. Inaugurée en octobre 2001, le bâtiment cumule les fonctions de bibliothèque publique, de centre d’archives, de musée et de centre de formation des bibliothécaires. Le propos du volume est de réunir les acteurs du projet et des contributeurs choisis pour leur approche à la fois érudite et sensible des différents aspects qui concernent la réalité, l’image, le symbole et l’avenir de la bibliothèque. Sont rassemblées les contributions de Christoph Kapeller, l’un des architectes lauréats, de Gerald Grunberg, directeur de la BPI de Beaubourg, conseiller technique auprès du directeur de projet de la bibliothèque, et d’Ismail Serageldin, le directeur de la nouvelle bibliothèque.

Résumé:
Through the ages, libraries have not only accumulated and preserved but also shaped, inspired, and obliterated knowledge. Matthew Battles, a rare books librarian and a gifted narrator, takes us on a spirited foray from Boston to Baghdad, from classical scriptoria to medieval monasteries, from the Vatican to the British Library, from socialist reading rooms and rural home libraries to the Information Age. He explores how libraries are built and how they are destroyed, from the decay of the great Alexandrian library to scroll burnings in ancient China to the destruction of Aztec books by the Spanish—and in our own time, the burning of libraries in Europe and Bosnia.
