Résumé:
Exploring America's material culture, "Common Places" reveals the history, culture, and social and class relationships that are the backdrop of the everyday structures and environments of ordinary people. Examining America's houses and cityscapes, its rural outbuildings and landscapes from perspectives including cultural geography, decorative arts, architectural history, and folklore, these articles reflect the variety and vibrancy of the growing field of vernacular architecture. In essays that focus on buildings and spaces unique to the U.S. landscape, Clay Lancaster, Edward T. Price, John Michael Vlach, and Warren E. Roberts reconstruct the social and cultural contexts of the modern bungalow, the small-town courthouse square, the shotgun house of the South, and the log buildings of the Midwest. Surveying the buildings of America's settlement, scholars including Henry Glassie, Norman Morrison Isham, Edward A. Chappell, and Theodore H. M. Prudon trace European ethnic influences in the folk structures of Delaware and the houses of Rhode Island, in Virginia's Renish homes, and in the Dutch barn widely repeated in rural America. Ethnic, regional, and class differences have flavored the nation's vernacular architecture. Fraser D. Neiman reveals overt changes in houses and outbuildings indicative of the growing social separation and increasingly rigid relations between seventeenth-century Virginia planters and their servants. Fred B. Kniffen and Fred W. Peterson show how, following the westward expansion of the nineteenth century, the structures of the eastern elite were repeated and often rejected by frontier builders. Moving into the twentieth century, James Borchert tracks the transformation of the alley from an urban home for Washington's blacks in the first half of the century to its new status in the gentrified neighborhoods of the last decade, while Barbara Rubin's discussion of the evolution of the commercial strip counterpoints the goals of city planners and more spontaneous forms of urban expression. The illustrations that accompany each article present the artifacts of America's material past. Photographs of individual buildings, historic maps of the nation's agricultural expanse, and descriptions of the household furnishings of the Victorian middle class, the urban immigrant population, and the rural farmer's homestead complete the volume, rooting vernacular architecture to the American people, their lives, and their everyday creations.

Résumé:
For several decades, 20th century architecture thrived in Cuba and a wealth of buildings was realized prior to the revolution 1959 and in its wake. The designs comprise luxurious nightclubs and stylish hotels, sports facilities, elegant private homes and apartment complexes. Drawing on the vernacular, their architects defined a way to be modern and Cuban at the same time – creating an architecture oscillating between tradition and avantgarde. Audacious concrete shells, curving ramps, elegant brises-soleils and a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces are characteristic of an airy, often colorful architecture well-suited to life in the tropics. New photographs and drawings were specially prepared for this publication. A biographical survey portraits the 40 most important Cuban architects of the era.

Résumé:
Entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe siècle, la région de Milan connaît une intense période d’art et d’architecture qui se manifeste à travers des villas : on voit éclore en effet un nombre important de résidences réalisées par une aristocratie éclairée. Aboutissement des activités productives du territoire, les villas étaient une synthèse d’exigences économiques, expressives et symboliques, mais définissaient également un style de vie et une vision du monde : une philosophie du “vivre sain” en contact avec la nature, au milieu des études et des plaisirs tournés vers un otium foisonnant. Les “ville di delizia” (nous devons cette appellation du XVIIIe siècle à Marc’Antonio Dal Re et à Pietro Verri) représentent un phénomène marquant de l’histoire de l’architecture et de la décoration et, plus généralement, de l’histoire de la culture et du goût : le patriciat de la grande ville lombarde (sans seigneur et sans cour) a souhaité projeter ses propres attentes et se célébrer lui-même dans ces villas.

En 1988, l’UNESCO lance un concours international d’architecture pour la construction d’une nouvelle bibliothèque. Inaugurée en octobre 2001, le bâtiment cumule les fonctions de bibliothèque publique, de centre d’archives, de musée et de centre de formation des bibliothécaires. Le propos du volume est de réunir les acteurs du projet et des contributeurs choisis pour leur approche à la fois érudite et sensible des différents aspects qui concernent la réalité, l’image, le symbole et l’avenir de la bibliothèque. Sont rassemblées les contributions de Christoph Kapeller, l’un des architectes lauréats, de Gerald Grunberg, directeur de la BPI de Beaubourg, conseiller technique auprès du directeur de projet de la bibliothèque, et d’Ismail Serageldin, le directeur de la nouvelle bibliothèque.

Among the sketches and models is a series of three wooden models attributed to the Swiss architects Hans Ulrich and Johannes Grubenmann. Bridge-building had always fascinated Soane. As a student, he had even won a gold medal for his design of a wooden bridge. During his long professional career, Soane often planned bridges and was consulted about their construction. On his way home from the "grand tour" of Italy, he took a detour through Switzerland to see some bridges built by the Grubenmann brothers. The bridges at Wettingen, Reichenau and Schaffhausen left a lasting impression on the young architect. Years later, in his lectures to the Royal Academy, he would praise their "sublime simplicity".
