Résumé:
Since the early twentieth century, Latin America has been home to some of the most compelling architecture--from the large-scale and otherworldly civic structures of the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer to the more intimate work of Mexico's Luis Barragan. In Latin American Houses, historian Mercedes Daguerre shows that this tradition of architectural innovation lives on in the work of such contemporary architects as 2006 Pritzker Prize-winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Brazil), Mathias Klotz (Chile), Angelo Bucci (Argentina), and LBC Arquitectos (Mexico), among others. Focusing on one-family houses that have been built over the past decade, this title explores the elegance and innovation with which today's Latin American architects evolve their modernist heritage.

Résumé:
Completed in 2008, the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, California, is one of the most beautiful ecclesiastical buildings of recent times. Its design, by Craig W. Hartman of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), combines the early Christian symbol of the fish with an innovative structure made of glass, wood and concrete. A glazed, bivalve exterior envelops the building, while a layer of fritted glass diffuses light and heat. Inside, the vaulted wooden ceiling soars 130 feet upwards, where an oculus opens out to the sky. The unique Omega window behind the altar was created with the help of new technology developed specifically for the cathedral: an image of the Romanesque relief of Christ from the tympanum of Chartres Cathedral was digitized and rendered as laser-perforated holes in an aluminum panel, creating a 60-foot pixilated image.

Luis Permanyer places the architect's oeuvre within the context of Catalan and wider European developments of the time, but he also describes the more personal mystical impetus that lay at the core of Gaudi's inventions. For those already familiar with the architect's work, Melba Levick's superb and detail photographs will prove a revelation; for those just discovering Gaudi, this book is the next best thing to experiencing the buildings themselves.

Résumé:
Face à Trouville - sa rivale de toujours - Deauville est d'abord une spéculation balnéaire du Second Empire, allotie sur un terrain plat et sur un plan quadrillé. Mais elle est ensuite un jardin des modes, un lieu d'apparat et d'exhibition où aiment à parader belles de jour et nouveaux riches. En s'en faisant les promoteurs, c'est ce que comprendront quelques hommes d'affaires avisés. Là où la verve de Michel Georges-Michel déploies les chroniques mondaines du traité de Versailles à la crise de 1929, Boris Veblen en restitue la perspective du duc de Morny à nos jours, tandis que Paul Smith nous en dévoile certains codes du "charme discret" ou des "signes extérieurs de richesse" à travers l'automobile et l'architecture de Georges Wybo...

Résumé:
Quand on demande aux auteurs des Ghettos du Gotha ce qu'ils entendent par là, Michel Pinçon et Monique Pinçon-Charlot répondent qu'il s'agit d'un internement de riches choisis - et non subi. Procédant davantage par création ex-nihilo que par reconstruction sur tabula rasa, cette dynamique spatiale débute avec la "société de cour" mais se systématise sous le Second Empire, avec des lieux comme Arcachon, Biarritz, Vichy ou Deauville. Dans son essai, Boris Veblen tente, à travers le storytelling de l'industrie du luxe, des palaces ou de l'art contemporain, de percevoir la résurgence BCBG de ces quasi gated communities. Dans la France de Nicolas Sarkozy comme dans la mondialisation victorieuse des BRIC.

Résumé:
Ce recueil rassemble pour la première fois trois études consacrées à l'édification, pendant un siècle (1840-1940), d'une des premières stations balnéaires de France : Trouville. De la Monarchie de Juillet au Front Populaire, s'y joue chaque été une "comédie humaine", modèle réduit proposé -en haute saison et à 200 km de la capitale-, de la société parisienne "les pieds dans l'eau". Si la villégiature aristocratique et bourgeoise conforte le pouvoir de grandes familles et de certains notables locaux, le chemin de fer, la rivalité avec Deauville et les effets de mode en modifieront profondément la sociologie. A quoi s'ajoute, sous les effets des bains de mer et du soleil, un fascinant aperçu de l'histoire du sensible...
