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.

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.

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.

Résumé:
Jonathan Crary's "Techniques of the observer" provides a dramatically new perspective on the visual culture of the nineteenth century, reassessing problems of both visual modernism and social modernity. This analysis of the historical formation of the observer is a compelling account of the prehistory of the "society of the spectacle."
