Après Architecture du spectacle au Québec, Jacques Plante nous emmène une fois de plus au coeur du travail des architectes en nous faisant voir et comprendre des bibliothèques inspirées et inspirantes, dites "architectures de la connaissance". Qu'on les nomme bibliothèque, maison de la culture, centre d'archives ou centre culturel, elles sont le reflet de notre société et de notre époque. La bibliothèque s’adapte aux besoins des clientèles autant qu’aux changements technologiques et sociaux. Devenue troisième lieu de vie des citoyens, concept dont on parle maintenant comme d’une révélation, elle s’avère aussi un refuge où profiter de moments paisibles à l’abri de la confusion du monde.

Résumé:
Now available in paperback, renowned writer and thinker David Leatherbarrow's groundbreaking Architecture Oriented Otherwise argues for a more profound, yet simpler, way of thinking about architecture, namely on the basis of how it performs. It's not only about how a building functions but also how it acts, including its effects on observers and inhabitants as well as on the landscape that situates it. Drawing on an encyclopedic reading of contemporary philosophy, as well as from the work of architects whose work he admires, including Peter Zumthor, Renzo Piano, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright, Leatherbarrow challenges architects to think about their buildings in a vastly wider context, opening up the possibility of creating works that are richer in meaning, quality, and life.
