Résumé:
Quand on demande aux auteurs des Ghettos du Gotha ce qu'ils entendent par là, Michel Pinçon et Monique Pinçon-Charlot répondent qu'il s'agit d'un internement de riches choisis - et non subi. Procédant davantage par création ex-nihilo que par reconstruction sur tabula rasa, cette dynamique spatiale débute avec la "société de cour" mais se systématise sous le Second Empire,(...)

Procédant davantage par création ex-nihilo que par reconstruction sur tabula rasa, cette dynamique spatiale débute avec la "société de cour" mais se systématise sous le Second Empire, avec des lieux comme Arcachon, Biarritz, Vichy ou Deauville. Dans son essai, Boris Veblen tente, à travers le storytelling de l'industrie du luxe, des palaces ou de l'art contemporain, de percevoir la résurgence BCBG de ces quasi gated communities. Dans la France de Nicolas Sarkozy comme dans la mondialisation victorieuse des BRIC.

Despite attempts to promote the aesthetics of ruins in Russia - from Catherine the Great's construction of fake ruins in imperial parks to Josef Brodsky's elegiac meditations - ruins have never achieved the status they enjoy in Western Europe.

Résumé:
Despite attempts to promote the aesthetics of ruins in Russia - from Catherine the Great's construction of fake ruins in imperial parks to Josef Brodsky's elegiac meditations - ruins have never achieved the status they enjoy in Western Europe. While the Soviet Union was notorious for leveling churches, post-Soviet Russia has only intensified the practice of massive destruction and reconstruction. "Architecture of Oblivion "examines the role of ruins in the development of Russia's historical consciousness from the 18th century to the present. This original work from a leading authority on the subject will appeal to historians of Russian culture and thought, literature and art scholars, and general readers interested in ruins.

Posters circulated in Japan simultaneously with the country's swift reconstruction and economic revival after the Second World War.

Résumé:
Posters circulated in Japan simultaneously with the country's swift reconstruction and economic revival after the Second World War. If the first generation of poster designers was mostly guided by western modernism, searching for a universal and functional way of communication, the following generations from the 1970s onwards increasingly drew on their own pictorial tradition and maintained marked individual approaches. This was not least a reaction to the west's fascination with a poster culture with very different parameters and arguments. Until today, the Japanese poster functions most notably as a highly aesthetic image advertisement and indoor medium, presupposing the conception of the designer as an artist.

The texts, by writers including Yve-Alain Bois, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, and the artist herself, consider her formation in the West German milieu; her critique of conventions of architecture, reconstruction, and memorialization; her sympathy with mass culture; and her ongoing interrogation of public and private spheres. Two texts appear in English for the first time, including a quasi-autobiographical screenplay written by Genzken in 1993.

The building was intended to house local inhabitants rather than European expats, and that intention guided the architects in their design, which reflected a number of ethnographic assumptions about the Moroccan populace. This richly illustrated book explores the process of designing and building Habitat Marocain, illustrating the complicated interplay of ethnographic imagination and design synthesis, as well as the increasingly informal further development of the project after it was officially completed.

Many African countries are home to extraordinary architecture that is virtually unknown. There are interpretations of Art Deco, International Style, Brutalism as well as of African vernacular architecture. Climate-responsive buildings with a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces play a large role. While many of these 20th century architects were of European origin, they were deeply influenced by their surroundings and found original, site-specific expressions, often in collaboration with African architects. A focus of the construction activities were educational buildings which played an important role for these young nations that mostly gained their independence in the 1960s. While some of the documented buildings have been restored, others are still awaiting reconstruction.

Rimbaud in Java concludes with an inquiry into what the Orient represented in the poet's imagination, with a scandalous, amusing history of French orientalism. James surprising book is a richly concentrated blend of biography, criticism and thought-travel, which brings into sharp focus this brief encounter between a great writer and a vanished world.

Résumé:
The work of Rudolf Schwarz (1897–1961) allows a deeper understanding of post-war German architecture, representing the product of a continuous European architectural and intellectual practice that bridged the Second World War. Known especially for his churches, Schwarz is perhaps best remembered for his significant contributions to the reconstruction of Cologne. This book examines nine of his religious and secular buildings in the Rhineland, which are presented through new survey drawings and photographs. These are accompanied by Schwarz’s project descriptions and his lecture “Architecture of Our Times” from 1958, which contextualizes his approach. Essays by Wolfgang Pehnt and an interview with Schwarz’s wife, the architect Maria Schwarz, provide further insight into this complex oeuvre.
