Résumé:
This volume highlights the world's best modern architecture, the people behind the buildings, and the impact they have had on their surroundings. From New York city's Chrysler Building to the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain; from the Sydney Opera house to Kansai international airport, the buildings profiled here have proved enduring monuments to their architects' visions and the hopes and dreams of their eras. Presented in full-color, double-page spreads, these buildings represent nearly every continent on the globe and almost every architectural trend of the past century. The double-page spreads provide numerous photographs and plans, a summary of the architect's career, and anecdotes about building sites, materials, and construction.

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.

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:
Spatialities: the geographies of art and architecture draws on a distinguished panel of artists, cultural theorists, architects, and geographers to offer a nuanced conceptual framework for understanding the ever-evolving spatial orderings that materially constitute our world. With chapters covering a wide range of topics, including the interstitial, the liminal and the relational processes of networks, accumulations, and assemblage as possibilities for spatial reflection, this volume shows space to be less a defining category and more an abstract terrain whose boundaries may be continually probed and contested.
