Résumé:
During the 1960s Italy’s museum sector witnessed a fertile period of renewal. A generation of architects, working in partnership with the directors of museums, set about transforming into exhibition spaces a number of ancient monumental complexes located in the historic centres of some of the most important Italian cities. Among these was the brilliant and solitary Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) who revitalised the discipline of museography by sagaciously combining it with restoration. His lucid intervention at Verona’s Museo di Castelvecchio is emblematic of this approach: the medieval castle, the museum of ancient art, and modern architecture all harmoniously coexisting in a monument located at the heart of a city designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The far-sighted choice of Scarpa was owed to the then director of the museum, Licisco Magagnato, who tenaciously argued the case for the appointment of an architect specialising in this field to work on the city’s principal museum of ancient art.

Résumé:
Le temps est doublement protagoniste dans cet ouvrage: comme histoire et mémoire des transformations urbaines, mais aussi en tant que 'matière premières' d’un savoir-faire hautement spécialisé qui caractérise une région, celle de La Chaux-de-Fonds et du Locle. Ces deux villes suisses constituent un cas exceptionnel d’urbanisme horloger, qui leur a valu une inscription conjointe sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 2009. 'Porter le temps' interroge le processus de patrimonialisation de ce site au travers d’une approche pluridisciplinaire et d’enquêtes de terrain collectives et individuelles. Il met en lumière les mécanismes sous-jacents de la fabrication de la mémoire et du rôle qu’elle joue dans la production de la ville et l’évolution sociale et spatiale d’un territoire sur le temps long. Dépassant la spécificité d’un cas d’étude, cet ouvrage éclaire une tendance récente de 'labélisation UNESCO', qui se tourne toujours plus vers des patrimoines dont la reconnaissance se fonde sur des narrations complexes touchant aux rapports entre espace, identité et économie.

Résumé:
Traditional Japanese architecture is characterized by the working of natural materials such as wood, earth, and rock into remarkable structures. This precious cultural heritage has been preserved over the years in the form not only of the buildings themselves, but also of scale models created during repairs and other occasions. This book turns to those astoundingly precise models to give a historical overview of the artistry and craftsmanship handed down through the generations in buildings of wide-ranging styles and techniques, from the seventh-century five-storied pagoda at Horyuji temple in Nara to the 1933 Nihombashi Takashimaya department store in Tokyo. Also included is a chapter on architectural plans, tools, and other materials illustrating the “traditional skills, techniques and knowledge of the conservation and transmission of wooden architecture in Japan,” which was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2020. The accompanying discussion details efforts to overcome today’s challenges in passing Japan’s architectural heritage on to the next generation, including attracting and training new artisans, furthering skills, and securing tools and raw materials.

Résumé:
In 1950, Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru invited legendary French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier to embark on one of the greatest experiments in urban planning history: to build a new capital Chandigarh, a city whose monumental modernism promised to free India from the fetters of colonial tradition. 'six decades after its founding and on the eve of its becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016, photographer and Chandigarh resident Shaun Fynn was granted unprecedented access to turn his lens on Le Corbusier's city and capture what is rarely seen: the living metropolis behind the master plan. Fynn's captivating images of the city and its inhabitants reveal how the poetry of the architect's compositions has been shaped by the tumult of everyday life. Alongside descriptions of the city's architectural highlights, Chandigarh Revealed features a foreword by Le Corbusier authority Maristella Casciato, an essay by architectural historian Vikram ditya Prak sh, an interview with M. N. Sharma one of two surviving members of Le Corbusier's team and custom-designed maps to orient readers.

Résumé:
The Bauhaus Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius and from 1925 to 1932 the headquarters of the "Hochschule für Gestaltung Bauhaus Dessau", attracts around 80,000 visitors annually from Germany and abroad who are in search of the roots of the 20th century Modernism. Now the first book in which the UNESCO world cultural heritage site is introduced following its complete renovation is available. Featuring more than 110 black and white photographs, "Bauhaus Dessau" presents the whole scope of architectural and artistic variety and quality of the building. The book sketches the history of the building, its architectural parts, the interior design created by the Bauhaus artists, as well as the functions of the building. "Bauhaus Dessau" is well-suited as a companion for a tour through the building as well as a reference of individual details. In addition to the visual objects, the text also describes the work carried out in the former workshops and their most important products, because architecture, design and concept of the Bauhaus are inseparably connected to each other.

Résumé:
L'abbaye de Fontenay, fondée en 1119 par saint Bernard au nord de la Bourgogne, est le plus ancien témoin de l'architecture cistercienne en Europe. Seconde fille de Clairvaux, le monument constitue l'un des ensembles monastiques les plus complets et conserve aussi la forge médiévale où les moines exerçaient la métallurgie. Vendus comme bien national, en 1790, les bâtiments sont réutilisés pour une usine de papeterie, rachetée en 1820 par Élie de Montgolfier. Les machines envahissent les bâtiments et l'activité industrielle s'étend progressivement dans tout la vallée de Fontenay, jusqu'à ce que l'abbaye soit rachetée en 1906 par le banquier lyonnais Édouard Aynard, époux de Rose de Montgolfier, qui en entreprend une restauration exemplaire. Après lui, pierre à pierre, ses descendants parachèvent la renaissance de Fontenay couronnée par l'inscription sur la liste du Patrimoine mondial (UNESCO), en 1981. Louis André, ancien conservateur du patrimoine, a participé à la rénovation du musée des Arts et Métiers du CNAM, à Paris. Auteur d'une thèse sur l'industrie papetière en France au XIXe siècle, il est actuellement maître de conférences au département d'histoire de l'art de l'université de Rennes 2

Résumé:
In this volume, author María Luisa Lobo Montalvo presents the architecture and history of Havana —part of which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site — in an accessible and engaging text and specially commissioned color photographs. Among the structures featured are the famed great forts such as Castillo del Morro and Castillo de la Punta, the city's oldest extant structures; an array of houses, from all periods of Havana's history and in all styles, simultaneously offering architectural and cultural history; and the great churches, including the Church of La Merced and the great baroque Havana Cathedral, and institutional structures, such as the magnificent Palace of the Captains General, showing the public face of Havana at its most resplendent. Discussions of each phase of the city's development are accompanied by detailed case studies of the period's most significant buildings, which include the architectural history and heritage of each structure as well as comprehensive new and archival documentation, including photographs, prints, paintings, and historical artifacts. Throughout her presentation of the buildings, Lobo Montalvo reveals the unique expression of design and decorative elements, customs and traditions that characterize the architecture of Havana.
