Résumé:
As people make considered choices about their own lives and deaths, cremation has become an increasingly popular option in Europe, representing a recent but accelerating change in funerary practices. What do these spaces actually look like? What role does architecture play in these rituals? Considering precisely these questions, the authors of ''Goodbye Architecture'' embarked on a unique tour of European architecture. For the first time, the spaces and practices of cremation- the sites of some of our deepest desires and fears about life and death- receive serious architectural consideration. A wide range of facilities are documented in this volume with extensive illustrations and analyses, providing a glimpse of an essential architecture often hidden in plain sight.

Résumé:
In the past 30 years, a number of stadium projects have been completed that have challenged perceived notions about this building type as a site for architectural innovation and complexity. Clients that would once have turned to large firms have instead hired A-list and Pritzker-Prize-winning architects to design their new stadia. As a result, in cities around the world, stadia are often the most expensive and monumental projects, even becoming icons of identity. By examining a range of exemplary stadia from around the world (built and demolished projects), this book presents for the first time a canon for this building category.

Résumé:
Présenter les écoles et les lycées de la première moitié du XXe siècle est un choix séduisant : c’est une période pendant laquelle ils ont été des plus variés. Conçus autour de 1900 dans le sillage du rationalisme constructif, ils connurent le régionalisme et furent dans les années 1930 aux avant-postes de la modernité. La guerre pourtant marqua un temps d’arrêt qui favorisa la maturation d’idées nouvelles, d'où émergent des réflexions sur l’architecture scolaire dans les milieux de la construction, de la pédagogie ou de la médecine ? Dans quelle mesure le développement du béton armé, le mouvement de l’Éducation nouvelle ou celui des écoles de plein air ont-ils transformé ces édifices ? Ce sont les questions qui traversent cet exposé de projets et de réalisations plus ou moins connus, du lycée de garçons d’Henri Ebrard à Nice à l’école de plein air d’Eugène Beaudouin et Marcel Lods à Suresnes, en passant par l’école professionnelle de Paul Guadet à Besançon…

Résumé:
Fondé en 1248 par Étienne de Lexington, abbé de Clairvaux sur un terrain marécageux des bords de Seine, le collège cistercien des Bernardins a été l'un des plus brillants centres d'études parisiens, du XIIIe siècle au XVIIIe siècle, au cœur du Quartier Latin. Vendu comme bien national en 1791, il fut successivement prison, école, caserne de pompiers ; les travaux du Paris d'Haussmann firent disparaître nombre de ses bâtiments. Lorsque le diocèse de Paris le rachète en 2001, c'est un colossal chantier de restauration qui est lancé, mené par l'architecte Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Inauguré en 2008, en présence du pape qui y prononce une série de discours sur les rapports de la foi et de la culture contemporaine, Paris redécouvre alors ce grandiose témoignage de l'architecture gothique, mais aussi d'une université médiévale.
