Résumé:
This volume presents and examines this significant urban architectural production, and discusses it against a background of the design of cafes and restaurants across the 19th and 20th centuries. Major themes and developments are discussed and illustrated with case studies, from the functionalist pre-World War Two architects in Central Europe representing modern society through the design of public spaces, right up to the design of sophisticated bars and restaurants as part of the recent urban renaissance of Barcelona and Paris in 1980s and London in the 90s.

Résumé:
Trachtenberg's book exmines the urban transformation of Florence in the fourteenth century. Focusing on the creation of the Piazza della Signoria and the Piazza del Duomo, he documents in engaging detail how and why urban planners, in league with the civic government, enlarged these urban spaces. Articulating the design principles that served as the foundation for these urban renewal projects, Trachtenberg's book fundamentally revises our understanding of urban planning in the early modern period, countering the received claim that rational planning begins only in the Renaissance.

Résumé:
Finizio’s theme is one we can see on the streets: having changed the 19th-century city into a “metropolis” of suburbs and highways, the car as an object is, in turn, changing in relation to the modern city. A leading Italian design professional, Finizio has gathered an international symposium of architects to explore how urban planning, architecture, and design ideas can create a new design philosophy for the automobile as a sort of domestic moving space that interacts with the new urban environment. This richly illustrated book focuses on the relationship between the static city and “mobile architecture” of the car through the works of some of the most important contemporary international architects such as Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhass, Jean Nouvel, Massimiliano Fuksas, and Alessandro Mendini.This is an urgent, exciting design mission that finally deals with how thinking about the urban car must coevolve in profound new ways.

Résumé:
Célèbre designer et architecte « de campagne », Marc Held livre ses réflexions sur un monde urbain toujours plus dense, plus étendu, plus mortifère. Un monde qui incarne les « valeurs » de notre société consumériste et destructrice, prête à tous les abus pour assurer sa survie. Refusant de voir cette évolution comme une fatalité, l’auteur trace les contours de ces villes de la bio-croissance qu’il imagine, en phase avec les modes de vie respectueux du vivant qu’une certaine jeunesse expérimente déjà. Si la dénonciation des mégapoles et de leurs effets délétères a déjà été largement faite, le regard empathique et généreux d’un professionnel du design et de l’architecture aussi créatif vient enrichir notre horizon et nous redonne envie de ville.

Résumé:
The style of the dandy is elegant but bold — dedicated to the perfection of taste. This meticulously choreographed look has a vibrant history; the legacy of Beau Brummell, the original dandy of Regency England, can be traced in the clothing of urban dandies today. 'Dandy style' celebrates 250 years of male self-expression, investigating the portraiture and wardrobe of the fashionable British man. Combining fashion, art, and photography, the historic and the contemporary, the provocative and the respectable, it considers key themes in the development of male style and identity, including elegance, uniformity, and spectacle. Various types of dandy are represented by iconic figures such as Oscar Wilde, Edward VIII as Prince of Wales, and Gilbert & George. They appear alongside the seminal designs of Vivienne Westwood, Ozwald Boateng, and Alexander McQueen; and portraits by Thomas Gainsborough and David Hockney.
