Résumé:
The automobile has brought about changes to the landscape that are nothing short of revolutionary. The dramatic reconfiguration of cities and the countryside to accommodate our taste for freedom of movement has been matched by a change in the way buildings themselves have been planned. Today, CAD and car-building techniques have opened up new possibilities for architectural design and this book, edited by the London-based journalist Jonathan Bell, argues that the influence of the car on architectural and urban thinking is greater than ever. A compelling manifesto for the future of building design.

Résumé:
In the 1960s and 1970s large, high-technology, inpatient oriented hospitals reflected the central role of such facilities in an expanding healthcare system. But hospital architecture and the healthcare system have vastly changed since then, in profound and unpredicted ways. This book explores for the first time how and why acute care hospitals and the often related psychiatric facilities, retirement communities, and community clinics have been transformed during the final decades of the twentieth century. The authors also consider utopian visions of unbuilt work and look ahead to the possible healthcare landscape of the future: "health villages," home-based care for the aging and aged population, and cyberclinics and virtual hospitals.

Résumé:
L'architecture publique résulte souvent d'une lente maturation, due au nombre d'acteurs impliqués (politiques, usagers, concepteurs), à la prise en compte de contraintes qui découlent d'éléments aussi divers que le calendrier politique, la santé des finances publiques ou l'aménagement du territoire.Il en résulte une pratique du projet combinant de nombreux axes de réflexion, dont les enjeux concernant de multiples domaines tels que la culture, la mémoire, l'esthétique, la technologie, la sociologie, la politique ou encore l'économie. Il propose un corpus d'exemples, dont l'analyse, enrichie des réflexions de professeurs ayant suivi les différents projets présentés, met en lumière un processus d'échange particulièrement intéressant entre la réflexion spatiale des architectes et la vision institutionnelle des bibliothécaires et démontre la pertinence d'une confrontation entre la simulation offerte par l'exercice du projet dans un cadre académique et les besoins concrets d'une collectivité.

Résumé:
Strata malls are multi-level commercial buildings with units individually owned and managed. Unlike traditional shopping centers, these malls often house diverse shops catering to niche interests and local communities, contributing to their unique charm and adaptability. Singapore has seen a renewed interest in strata malls, highlighted by the conservation of Golden Mile Complex in 2021 and Peace Centre’s creative revitalization in 2023. "Singapore Strata Malls: A retrospective for the future" explores their urban, architectural, and cultural significance. Co-authored by Calvin Chua and Aurelia Chan, this book examines these spaces' structural and intangible qualities through essays and creative analyses.

Résumé:
For millions of people the annual visit to a department store to view the festive window displays and visit Saint Nicholas in his winter wonderland is a treasured holiday tradition. But how did holiday traditions like this begin? Author William L. Bird, Jr. traces their evolution as holiday decorations moved from shop windows to building exteriors and out into the street in the form of parade floats. Packed with rarely seen photographs, Holidays on Display makes it easy to see why we have such lasting emotional attachments to animated Christmas windows, passing parades, and the ambient glow of holiday lights.

Résumé:
All of the libraries in the world-whether small or large, public or private-serve the same purpose: to preserve, cherish, or show off the riches of human knowledge. Now, for the first time, an internationally renowned photographer takes the reader on a journey to more than 20 of the most historic of these magical places, all architectural treasures. From the dramatic, baroque Library of the Institut de France in Paris, to the splendid Vatican Library in Rome; from the majestic Royal Library in El Escorial, Spain, to the famed New York Public Library, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece-here are some of the most exquisite libraries of the Western world. Included are national, scholarly, and religious libraries from 12 countries, which have in common a distinguished heritage and an architectural setting that emphasizes art and culture. The accompanying text traces the history of libraries to the present day, and describes how they came to serve famous personalities and men of letters. Libraries must be counted among civilization's crowning achievements; this elegant book is a fitting tribute to that accomplishment.
