Résumé:
The Critique of Everyday Life is perhaps the richest, most prescient work by one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers. The trilogy which provided the philosophy behind the 1968 student revolution in France, it is considered to be the founding text of what we now know as cultural studies. Whether discussing sport, household gadgets, the countryside, surrealism, Charlie Chaplin or religion, Lefebvre always concentrates on the minutiae of lived experience in work and leisure, daydreams, and festivities. Denounced by both the right and left when it was first published in France in 1947, today this text is recognized as a path-breaking, radical, and hugely influential book. Volume 3, From Modernity to Modernism (Towards a Metaphilosophy of Daily Life), explores the crisis of modernity and the decisive assertion of technological modernism.

Résumé:
Through three radical critiques of Modernist architecture, illustrated by the iconic--and very different--works of the Situationist International, Venturi Scott Brown and Archigram, Radical Games offers new perspectives on the architecture of the 1960s. It illuminates some of the pitfalls of contemporary architectural thought and questions a number of preconceptions that remain with us from the prevalent discourses of the 1960s. Perched on the cusp of Postmodernism and global capitalism, the critiques in this volume demonstrate a perceptive understanding of Modernism, as well as contemporary conditions, such as our increasingly image-saturated society. It is also clear, however, that these radical projects were so entwined with Modernism that the architectural conversation of the 1960s was driven to an impasse, which the contemporary debate has not yet been able to escape.

Résumé:
Vittorio Gregotti's Inside Architecture is his first major work to be translated into English, examining theories of modernism and tradition and considering the architect's practice and cultural issues involved in creating models and working with ideas and buildings. Quite scholarly, but worth the effort for any studying architectural development.

Résumé:
Consacrée en 1925 par la grande exposition des Arts Décoratifs à Paris, la tendance Art Déco trouve ses racines dans la simplification formelle qui se dessine dans les arts plastiques dès la fin des années 1910, au moment où s'amorce le déclin de l'Art Nouveau. De son côté, le Modernisme trouve les siennes dans le déploiement du fonctionnalisme et l'influence déterminante de l'école du Bauhaus et de Le Corbusier. Relativement antagonistes à leur naissance, les deux tendances réalisent une synthèse vers 1930. Les oeuvres singulières d'Antoine Pompe, de Henry Van de Velde ou de Victor Horta (tous trois anciens de l'Art Nouveau) indiqueront des voies de recherche et de création particulièrement riches. Parallèlement, le mouvement des cités-jardins va induire une nouvelle façon de penser l'urbanisme.
