Résumé:
Using facts, anecdotes, and personal observation, architect and longtime advocate for the preservation of American architecture Harvey H. Kaiser leads the reader through more than 200 places of interest across the United States. Covering the entire nation and presented by region, this book takes the reader on a journey through recognizable icons such as the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Arch, and the USS Arizona. The extraordinary rustic buildings of the National Parks at Yellowstone, Carter Lake, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon are explored as well as frontier military forts and trading posts like Fort Sumter, Bent's Old Fort, and Fort Clatsop. There are the southwestern sites of the mysterious Anasazi and Chaco cultures and missions of San Antonio, Tumacacori, Pecos, and Salinas Pueblo. Kaiser's descriptions let readers not only feel as if they have shared the experience of these places but also gain a solid understanding of why the architecture is significant to American history.

Résumé:
Damas, capitale de la Syrie contemporaine, adossée à la chaîne de l’Anti-Liban à la frange des immensités de la steppe syrienne, est bien connue des historiens du monde arabe. Si les travaux de Jean Sauvaget, d’André Raymond et de leurs successeurs permettent d’en dresser un tableau détaillé pour les périodes médiévale et moderne, le tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles a été assez peu étudié1. C’est de cette époque dont il est question dans ce livre. A ce moment-là, Damas est touchée par d’importantes transformations ; de nouvelles modalités de développement et de modernisation de l’espace urbain se mettent en place. L’organisation administrative de l’Empire ottoman connaît alors de multiples réformes, la législation en matière de contrôle de l’urbanisation et le mode de gestion des villes sont totalement renouvelés.

Résumé:
As community becomes a more dominant paradigm in how architecture is produced, more people become involved in its creation. This implies a change in the role of the architect from being an individual author to a facilitator, from being an independent expert to establishing and managing collaboration. With a wealth of detailed analysis and clear, well-designed graphics, this volume offers practical tools for a truly collaborative architecture that is based on analysis, management, data collection and design. Avilla-Royo demonstrates how the architectural project becomes an instrument for citizen involvement in decision-making and how citizen involvement offers an exciting opportunity to improve the design and everyday uses of architecture.

Résumé:
Si le mouvement postmoderne en architecture a désormais « fait son temps », ici délimité par les années 1973 et 1993, il semble que les questions qui l’avaient vu naître (crise des ressources et de l’énergie, partage de références et de valeurs – sociales notamment –, rejet du modernisme froid et rationnel, rapport contrarié à l’histoire…) demeurent d’une brûlante actualité. Le guide « Paris postmoderne – Architectures 1973-1993 » propose au promeneur, simple curieux ou professionnel, de revenir sur ces oeuvres parisiennes et métropolitaines, recouvertes par le passage d’un demi-siècle. Bientôt patrimoine mais encore puériles, singulières, parfois insolites et souvent fragiles, certaines ont durablement imprimé nos rétines et nos imaginaires, tandis que d’autres ont préféré se réfugier dans un silence inquiet. Cet ouvrage sonne l’heure du réveil en proposant un premier inventaire de près de 600 bâtiments illustrés.

Résumé:
Timber is a renewable material that also creates warm, welcoming spaces offering an emotional quality to their users. Light on Wood is a very personal story about how to design with mass timber. The pioneering architectural practice of atelierjones in Seattle, founded by Susan H. Jones, has diligently worked to decarbonize our built environment. In fact, it was one of the first practices in the US to use mass timber.Many beautiful buildings ensued over the past two decades, often developed in cooperation with local communities. But the office also investigated the behavior of CLT in case of fire and thus contributed to much-needed changes in building code. This book documents atelierjones’ multifaceted approach of design, research and advocacy and shows an attractive selection of the projects that have resulted from it.

Résumé:
While, for many architects, drawing is a functional tool in the development of specific building projects, Sir Peter Cook (born 1936) has used the medium throughout his long career to channel his boundless imagination. From those made in the 1960s at Archigram to the present day, Cook's colorful, highly detailed images resonate beyond the architectural sphere, as seen in his major solo exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2022. Cook's work pushes the boundaries of architectural norms of design and construction, with the freedom to imagine buildings, communities and cities that are, as he succinctly puts it, "possible or maybe nearly possible, but importantly, not consciously impossible."
