Résumé:
In recent years, an unconventional architectural scene ?outside the mainstream? has established itself in China. Its representatives, many of whom were trained in the West, are known for their sensitive handling of space, light, and material, and by their engagement with context and their own tradition. Since Wang Shu, one of the most important representatives of the profession, won the Pritzker Prize, international professionals have become more aware of China?s new architecture. Twenty examples of different building typologies- many with social relevance-? as well as an introductory essay, illustrate current building activities and provide an insight into the cultural and architectonic influences.

Résumé:
Gilles Clément confronts the homogenizing effects of globalization with the diversity of life. As a trained gardener, he places our current knowledge of plant utilization and ecology in the service of the "planetary garden," in which plant species from a tremendous variety of cultures are collected, composed, and carefully overseen in their development by the landscape designer. Clément has taken this approach, which was developed for private gardens, and worked with celebrated architects – most recently, Jean Nouvel – to apply it in his large city parks, including Parc Citroën, the park at the Grande Arche de La Défense, and the museum park at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. The high artistic caliber of his designs is attested by exhibitions and installations at the Canadian Centre for Architecture CCA in Montreal and the Centre Pompidou, where they stand beside the work of Daniel Buren, Nan Goldin, and others. Gilles Clément has been presenting his contribution to landscape architecture for decades in more than thirty publications and numerous lectures throughout the world. This is the first comprehensive English-language monograph on his work.

Résumé:
Les formes architecturales et urbaines de la période 1850 à 1950 représentent actuellement une part essentielle du paysage bâti des villes. Une situation qui est le résultat, sur la rive nord de la Méditerranée, des processus d’urbanisation qui ont accompagné la révolution industrielle et, rive sud, de la domination coloniale ou des politiques nationales d’occidentalisation. Or ces ensembles font l’objet ou commencent seulement de campagnes d’investigation, de recensements en vue de l’inscription d’un certain nombre d’édifices ou de lieux au titre du patrimoine. Afin d’instruire ces procédures, neuf des quinze associés du programme Euromed Héritage II, financé par la Commission européenne, ont joint leurs efforts pour dresser un état de la question en Algérie, Égypte, Espagne, France, Grèce, Italie, Maroc, Tunisie, Turquie. Chaque pays s’est employé à répertorier les données relatives au patrimoine récent et à les qualifier. L’objectif a été de répertorier les sources, de constituer un inventaire bibliographique afin de mettre en évidence les thématiques successivement privilégiées et, selon les époques, les objets délibérément occultés ou faisant problèmes. Un tel recensement permet de comparer les démarches employées tant par les historiens que par les praticiens, leurs évolutions et ruptures dans le temps. Ainsi est constitué un recueil d’information sur la manière de faire l’histoire de l’architecture et de la ville. La confrontation des neuf bilans nationaux éclaire tant les spécificités que les traits communs de ce foyer de culture qu’est le bassin méditerranéen.

Résumé:
Since the foundation of the country in 1830, architecture in Belgium has been an expression of the key issues of modern Western societies. In "Something completely different," Christophe Van Gerrewey uses this small European country as a case study to describe, interpret, and criticize more universal spatial problems and behaviors. In seven wide-ranging essays, he looks at the activities of architects from the past two centuries to better understand political evolutions, social gaps, aesthetic considerations, housing and planning, transport and infrastructure, order and chaos, and culture and ecology. The result is a literary text full of surprises and discoveries, showing both the shortcomings and the merits of what architects do.
