Résumé:
De 1850 à 1914, les arts décoratifs fleurissent dans toute l’Europe pour orner notamment bâtiments privés ou publics. Les cages d’escalier, lieux de représentation par excellence, sont un thème privilégié pour les architectes qui les conçoivent avec un grand souci de détail. En Suisse romande, dans les immeubles locatifs, un riche patrimoine, très souvent méconnu, témoigne de cet âge d’or des arts appliqués. Pourtant ce n’est qu’à partir des années 1980 que ce patrimoine devient sujet d’étude et qu’il commence à faire l’objet d’inventaires. Cet ouvrage, fruit de la collaboration d’un photographe et de six spécialistes – historiens de l’art, de l’architecture et des techniques, ethnologue, restauratrice d’art – offre une complémentarité de regards et de connaissances. La trentaine de cages d’escalier illustrées ont été choisies à travers toute la Suisse romande pour leur intérêt historique, leur beauté architecturale et décorative, l’intégrité de leur décor, leur caractère d’exemplarité ou la réussite de leur restauration, et cela en accord avec leur propriétaire. Si leur présentation constitue le point fort du livre, les auteurs les insèrent dans un contexte plus large en retraçant l’histoire de l’escalier, en soulignant combien son thème a inspiré la littérature et le cinéma et en abordant, de manière thématique, les métiers et les hommes et chacune des techniques décoratives présentes dans la cage d'escalier. Les auteurs : Fabienne Hoffmann, Dave Lüthi, Nadja Maillard, Catherine Reymond Bui, Catherine Schmutz Nicod, Rémy Gindroz. Photographies de Rémy Gindroz.

Résumé:
Many African countries are home to extraordinary architecture that is virtually unknown. There are interpretations of Art Deco, International Style, Brutalism as well as of African vernacular architecture. Climate-responsive buildings with a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces play a large role. While many of these 20th century architects were of European origin, they were deeply influenced by their surroundings and found original, site-specific expressions, often in collaboration with African architects. A focus of the construction activities were educational buildings which played an important role for these young nations that mostly gained their independence in the 1960s. While some of the documented buildings have been restored, others are still awaiting reconstruction.

Résumé:
South Asia holds a unique place among the many regions of the world where modern architecture was understood as both a tool for social progress and a global lingua franca in the second half of the 20th century. Following the end of British rule in 1947-48, architects in the newly formed nations of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh (East Pakistan until 1971) and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) proposed a novel understanding of modernity, disrupting the colonial hierarchy of center and periphery by challenging modernism's universalist claims. Architecture offered multiple ways to break with the colonial past. Through the establishment of institutions that embodied the societal aspirations of the period, and the creation of new cities and spaces for political representation, South Asian architects produced a distinct body of work in dialogue with global developments while advancing the theory and practice of low-cost, climatically and socially responsive design.

Résumé:
A house is a site, the bounds and focus of a community. It is also an artefact, a material extension of its occupants' lives. This book takes the Japanese house in both senses, as site and as artefact, and explores the spaces, commodities, and conceptions of community associated with it in the modern era. As Japan modernized, the principles that had traditionally related house and family began to break down. Even where the traditional class markers surrounding the house persisted, they became vessels for new meanings, as housing was resituated in a new nexus of relations. The house as artefact and the artefacts it housed were affected in turn. The construction and ornament of houses ceased to be stable indications of their occupants' social status, the home became a means of personal expression, and the act of dwelling was reconceived in terms of consumption. Amid the breakdown of inherited meanings and the fluidity of modern society, not only did the increased diversity of commodities lead to material elaboration of dwellings, but home itself became an object of special attention, its importance emphasized in writing, invoked in politics, and articulated in architectural design. The aim of this book is to show the features of this culture of the home as it took shape in Japan.
