Résumé:
L'originalité de la vingtaine des réalisations présentées (Allemagne, Brésil, Mexique, Chine, Espagne, Etats-Unis, Grande-Bretagne, République tchèque, France) provient de la démarche adoptée par les architectes : il ne s'agit ni de réhabilitation ni de restauration mais d'un parti pris consistant à confronter vestiges et architecture contemporaine. La ruine est ainsi davantage consolidée en l'état et conservée telle que plutôt que réhabilitée. La ruine devient alors comme le paysage de la construction neuve qui est insérée dedans ou à côté. Le choix des projets plaide pour une intervention "douce" qui consiste ni à détruire, ni à rénover, mais plutôt à coloniser l'existant, considérant que recycler, adapter, transformer, inventer d'autres usages est susceptible de s'avérer plus pertinent que de démolir pour reconstruire "mieux".

Les œuvres d’art ne nous intéressent pas seulement en raison de leur valeur historique et artistique, mais aussi parce qu’elles ont pour ainsi dire une seconde histoire, celle de leur accession à un statut patrimonial.

Résumé:
Les œuvres d’art ne nous intéressent pas seulement en raison de leur valeur historique et artistique, mais aussi parce qu’elles ont pour ainsi dire une seconde histoire, celle de leur accession à un statut patrimonial. C’est cette histoire que l’historien de l’art se propose d’étudier. Dans la mesure où il procède à un transfert qui fait passer l’objet de sa destination cultuelle ou fonctionnelle primitive à une nouvelle vie, à la fois aux plans esthétique et historique, le musée constitue une mise en scène et un dispositif parfaitement réglés. À travers une série d’études ponctuelles, Roland Recht analyse les changements qui affectent notre relation aux objets esthétiques, depuis l’Élysée d’Alexandre Lenoir jusqu’au Grand Louvre ouvert en 1993. Cette publication accompagne l’exposition Un musée révolutionnaire Le musée des Monuments français d’Alexandre Lenoir au musée du Louvre du 7 Avril 2016 au 4 Juillet 2016.

Résumé:
Every day, millions of people enter old buildings, pass monuments, and gaze at landscapes unaware that these acts are possible only thanks to the preservation movement. As we approach the October 2016 anniversary of the United States National Historic Preservation Act, historian Max Page offers a thoughtful assessment of the movement’s past and charts a path toward a more progressive future. Page argues that if preservation is to play a central role in building more-just communities, it must transform itself to stand against gentrification, work more closely with the environmental sustainability movement, and challenge societies to confront their pasts. Touching on the history of the preservation movement in the United States and ranging the world, Page searches for inspiration on how to rejuvenate historic preservation for the next fifty years. This illuminating work will be widely read by urban planners, historians, and anyone with a stake in the past.

Résumé:
In contrast to tabula rasa urbanism, this book considers strategies for tabula plena?urban sites that are full of existing buildings of multiple time periods. Such dense sites prompt designers to work between the fields of architecture, historic preservation, and urban planning, developing methods for collaborative authorship and interlocking architectural forms. The book grew from a collaboration between the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation on the planning of the government quarter in Oslo. Emerging from this process, the book asks larger questions about how we practice, teach, and theorize engagement with existing architecture on an urban scale. It contains a compilation of short essays addressing theoretical questions, a sampling of design projects offering different formal strategies for architectural design, and a series of discussions about pedagogical strategies.

Résumé:
Old things, historic things, smelly dirty things, all the things that were considered the very opposite of “contemporary,” have suddenly irrupted forcefully into architecture and art, blurring their boundaries. This book takes stock of the emerging generation behind this turn, and examines their experimental engagements with the preservation of culturally charged objects. Structured around a series of interdisciplinary dialogues among practitioners and thinkers, and illustrated with recent projects, the book provides a window into the unfolding intellectual frameworks, aesthetic modes, cultural ambitions, and political commitments that are the basis of experimental preservation.
