He shows how the ‘tradition of the new’ became the creative credo of a small group of progressive artists and how, with the emigration of leading German modernists to Britain and the USA in the 1930s, the theory and practice of Modernism became widespread. What had begun as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered across Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century.

Résumé:
Cette publication propose une synthèse des aspects fondamentaux du travail de Le Corbusier – théoricien, artiste, architecte – dont les apports ont été déterminants pour la conception des lieux d’exposition au XXème siècle. A travers un parcours chronologique et thématique, le catalogue présente les étapes les plus significatives de la recherche et création d’un nouvel espace architectural, en même temps plastique et sensoriel, lié à la phénoménologie du dynamisme perceptif. Le Corbusier expose, montre ainsi le rapport entre les recherches plastiques de Charles-Edouard Jeanneret – le nom de naissance de Le Corbusier, celui-ci étant son pseudonyme – et l’intégration progressive dans son oeuvre d’éléments de la perception de l’espace en tant que catégorie plastique. Un ensemble d’oeuvres précoces unit ces deux pôles: la maison de l’artiste apporte les données initiales, l’existence d’une collection d’art moderne fonde le nouvel art d’habiter, l’expérience du pavillon d’exposition suscite la recherche d’un programme d’aménagement intérieur minimum où l’oeuvre plastique et la peinture murale constituent le point de départ, le musée étant le véritable programme de l’architecture moderne. Jeanneret, le peintre, a choisi un processus d’exposition expérimental tout au long de sa vie de créateur, en partant d’une activité critique et développant une série de propositions très originales pour la présentation de ses oeuvres plastiques, que ce soit des affiches, des lithographies, des dessins, des sculptures ou des tapis, et surtout ses tableaux.

Résumé:
In amusement parks and theme parks the role of architecture in generating an emotional experience has long outgrown its mere functional and structural aspects. This trend is now pervading shopping malls, airports, museums, and even banks. It is a trend that progressive architects will have to confront as it becomes an increasingly important feature for investors and users in our pleasure-seeking society. With a wealth of international examples ranging from the prototype Disneyland (where Walt Disney's concepts of animation were congenially transformed into reality) to historical amusement parks and modern day theme parks, "Animation" investigates this global trend in contemporary architecture for the first time. Visual images and analytical texts reveal how animation architecture functions, the effects it can achieve, and the uses it can be put to.

Résumé:
Figure pionnière et incontournable de la géographie française, Pierre Deffontaines publie ce texte majeur en 1972, peu de temps avant sa mort.Le géographe a alors dans ses bagages de « voyageur actif » d'innombrables lectures, carnets de terrain et dessins sur le vif; de quoi nourrir abondamment plusieurs monographies régionales mais, surtout, donner corps à cet ambitieux volume sur la diversité des hommes au prisme de leur « marque essentielle » : la maison.De branchages ou de pierre, souterraines ou dominantes, bourgeoises ou agraires, groupées ou dispersées… les habitations des cinq continents sont ici répertoriées dans un souci d'exhaustivité et de description méthodique. Toutes spécifiques et adaptées à leur milieu, elles apparaissent sous la plume de ce passionné comme des structures dont la trame répond aux exigences d'ordre physique, économique et symbolique de leurs occupants.Sous-tendu par la conscience d'une uniformisation progressive de l'habitat et de la fin annoncée des modes de vie traditionnels, ce travail de synthèse s'entend comme une entreprise de recueil des principales empreintes humaines avant que ne s'éteigne un monde séculaire.Mais outre un précieux témoignage historique teinté d'ethnographie, les pages illustrées de ce classique de la géographie humaine recèlent entre leurs lignes un enseignement remarquable; une leçon magistrale sur la science, sinon l'art, de l'attentive observation.« La maison est le reflet de la vie des hommes, de leur effort physique, de leur pensée, de leur état social, de leur degré d'évolution. » Pierre Deffontaines

Résumé:
Conceptions of modernity in architecture are often expressed in the idea of the zeitgeist, or “spirit of the age,” an attitude toward architectural form that is embedded in a belief in progressive time. 'Lateness' explores how architecture can work against these linear currents in startling and compelling ways. In this incisive book, internationally renowned architect Peter Eisenman, with Elisa Iturbe, proposes a different perspective on form and time in architecture, one that circumvents the temporal constraints on style that require it to be “of the times”—lateness. He focuses on three twentieth-century architects who exhibited the qualities of lateness in their designs: Adolf Loos, Aldo Rossi, and John Hejduk. Drawing on the critical theory of Theodor Adorno and his study of Beethoven’s final works, Eisenman shows how the architecture of these canonical figures was temporally out of sync with conventions and expectations, and how lateness can serve as a form of release from the restraints of the moment.
