Lors de la mise en service de la Tour de l’Office fédéral de la statistique en 2004, un premier livre por tant sur le quartier Ecoparc a été publié. La réalisation des logements et des écoles cantonales (Conservatoire de Musique et Haute école de gestion) dans la partie est du site a généré le projet de publier un nouvel ouvrage.

This facsimile edition of Ventura’s original book, first published in 1975, provides a colorful, educational, and unique tour of major world cities. Delight in each city as you look for the London policeman holding up traffic, children shoveling the heavy snow of the side streets in Moscow, clerks waiting on customers in a huge Parisian department store, or the steam rising from the Chinese food cooking on a tiny houseboat in Hong Kong. The finely drawn illustrations and humorous details are a celebration of the many ways people live, work, travel, and have fun in the major cities of the world.

Résumé:
Authored by Robin Kinross, this volume offers a tour through the history of Western typography, from the time when it can be said to have become “modern” to the present moment. It highlights different cultures in different times, tracing the developments and shifts in modern typography while giving attention to ideas, social contexts, and techniques, thereby also bypassing the tired tropes of stylistic analysis. Included are concise accounts of modernist typography in Central Europe between the wars, and in Switzerland in the 1950s and ’60s. Traditional typography in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and the Low Countries is also discussed sympathetically.

Through a lively exploration of material culture, literature, and architecture, 'American Arcadia' offers a tour through California's development as a Mediterranean haven from the late nineteenth century to the present. Art historian Peter J. Holliday traces the classical influence primarily through the evidence of material culture, yet the book emphasizes the stories and people, famous and forgotten, behind the works, such as Florence Yoch, the renowned landscape designer and set designer for Gone with the Wind, and "Sister Aimee" Semple McPherson, the most publicized Christian evangelist of her day, whose sermons filled the Pantheon-like Angelus Temple.

Résumé:
Le projet d’Adolf Loos pour le Chicago Tribune fait toujours énigme. L’architecte se place à contre-courant du formalisme moderne, « qui demain déjà sera obsolète ». Il prend l’arrogance du commanditaire au pied de la lettre pour mieux la révéler. Il raille les désirs de l’époque en proposant d’installer, si les limites de hauteur pouvaient être abolies un jour, une statue de tribun romain assis au sommet de la colonne dorique. Il avertit pourtant?: ce projet ne contredit en rien ses positions théoriques antérieures à propos de l’ornement. Loos nous avait alertés. La tour n’est pas un archétype, elle est un artefact.
