The inner courtyard of a Moroccan house promises refuge from the bustle of the outside world, while remaining in touch with nature. Reached by a dark and winding passage, the courtyard is the physical and spiritual centre of the house. Green vegetation, flowering plants (in the garden-like Riads), and fountains fed by narrow channels of flowing water provide a cool, shaded enclosure. Light from above combines to create a serene and sheltering atmosphere, a peaceful paradise. A venerable tradition, still very much alive. Werner Blaser has captured this marvellous architecture in duotone photos.

Cutting across all levels of scale - from individual to nation - and backed by a truly multi-disciplinary team (encompassing architecture and urban planning, politics, economics, arts and culture, environmental concerns, and sociology) the book synthesizes a vast body of research to tackle the big contemporary questions, and to unpack the paradoxes at the heart of Chinas struggle for change. Bold texts, self-critical design proposals, and thousands of graphics reveal China in all its raucous diversity. This is space as you have never seen it before: brash, outlandish, and very Chinese.

Using her photographs as conversation prompts with various residents, historians, and architects, Toukan places the anecdotes collected thereby into political and historical context, weaving together narrative and critique. "Sundry Modernism" sets out to be a gesture, a nod, a salutation to, and a critique of, the lines and angles of Palestinian modernism. It is a provocation on the act of looking, and, in particular, it is a proposal for reading apolitical forms in politicized contexts.

Concentrating on U.S. architects and their clients, Robert Alexander González demonstrates how they proposed designs reflecting U.S. presumptions and projections about the relationship between the United States and Latin America. This forgotten chapter of American architecture unfolds over the course of a number of international expositions, ranging from the North, Central, and South American Exposition of 1885-1886 in New Orleans to Miami's unrealized Interama fair and San Antonio's HemisFair '68 and encompassing the Pan American Union headquarters building in Washington, D.C. and the creation of the Columbus Memorial Lighthouse in the Dominican Republic.

Y sont rassemblées les découvertes majeures ayant eu lieu ces dernières décennies, les récentes mises au jour de témoignages et de vestiges archéologiques, ainsi que les importantes avancées dans la recherche. Le chapitre consacré à la construction révèle également une riche documentation qui conduit, comme le reste, à nuancer considérablement le prétendu « mystère des pyramides ». Ce livre se veut un hommage à cette éblouissante architecture. Il accorde également au peuple qui en est responsable l’attention qui lui est due. La description suit un parcours balisé par l’histoire, les événements et la religion. Car c’est uniquement au travers des rouages de la civilisation pharaonique et de sa société qu’il est possible de saisir l’origine, la signification et la fonction d’une pyramide égyptienne.
