Résumé:
Iran has one of the oldest town cultures in the world, going back more than 4000 years. Between the Islamic conquest in the seventh century and Westernisation in the second half of the nineteenth century, the cities and towns in today’s Islamic Republic of Iran underwent repeated changes. Persian building culture influenced architects and artists as far as Central Asia in the north and India in the east. Unlike any other country in the region, Iran shows a unique urban and architectonic development whose defining characteristics merged with other cultures over time, representing an important contribution to world architecture. In this architectural guide, author and architect Thomas Meyer-Wieser embarks on a journey into history, showcasing nearly 300 buildings and other projects in Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz. His focus is on the Iranian-Islamic architectural identity, which has held its own since the rise of the Safavids in 1501.

Résumé:
Reinhold Martin and Claire Zimmerman bring together essays from an array of scholars exploring the troubled relationship between architecture and antidemocratic politics. Comprising detailed case studies throughout the world spanning from the early nineteenth century to the present, "Architecture against Democracy" analyzes crucial occasions when the built environment has been harnessed as an instrument of authoritarian power. Alongside chapters focusing on paradigmatic episodes from twentieth-century German and Italian fascism, the contributors examine historic and contemporary events and subjects that are organized thematically, including the founding of the Smithsonian Institution, Ellis Island infrastructure, the aftermath of the Paris Commune, Cold War West Germany and Iraq, Frank Lloyd Wright’s domestic architecture, and Istanbul’s Taksim Square. Through the range and depth of these accounts, "Architecture against Democracy" presents a selective overview of antidemocratic processes as they unfold in the built environment throughout Western modernity, offering an architectural history of the recent "nationalist international."

Résumé:
There is a creative explosion of work taking place in architecture and design schools exploring materials such as mycelium, clay/earth, engineered timber, bio-based plastics and algae. This handbook of low- and no-carbon materials for architects and designers focuses on sustainable materials, their sourcing, technical properties and the processes required for their use in architecture. The book showcases new and rediscovered processes for material fabrication, responsible sourcing and creative material design. Material properties (structural, thermal, fire, health and life safety) are described and case studies from around the world illustrate the inventive ways in which these materials have been deployed in the built environment. The book is designed as an introduction to the exciting and rapidly changing world of construction materials. With a better understanding of the social, environmental and economic sustainability of any given material - alongside its technical properties - students of architecture can lead the change in responsible and creative material use.

Résumé:
Le journaliste Olivier Namias et le photographe Luc Boegly croisent leurs deux regards sur le travail réalisé entre 1970 et 2008 par l'architecte Jean-Patrick Fortin dans la commune de Caprino Veronese en Italie. Entre 1970 et 2008, Jean-Patrick Fortin va concevoir une villa, une officine de pharmacie et une maison de ville dans la commune de Caprino Veronese, pour le compte de Carolina Agosti. Un même maître d'ouvrage et un même concepteur pour trois projets racontant chacun un état de l'architecture, affirmant des positions spécifiques face à leur contexte, à la matérialité, l'organisation sociale. À l'unité de lieu répondent trois propositions, cimentées par la même volonté de faire émerger à travers le projet la force de l'architecture moderne.
