Résumé:
James Stirling: Revisionary Modernist is the first in-depth, book-length analysis of the architect's work. Amanda Reeser Lawrence focuses on six of Stirling's projects from the early 1950s through the late 1970s, offering detailed formal analysis of the buildings and drawings while also mapping his relationship to a broader architectural and cultural context. Though it is widely held that Stirling took a mid-career turn toward postmodernism, Lawrence shows that he was undeniably modern throughout his career. She clarifies the ways in which Stirling understood modernism as inextricably linked to the past and placed his own work in what he termed a "dialogue with architectural tradition."

Résumé:
Today, contemporary landscape design is increasingly drawing from ideas of sustainability and ecological stability. Not in fact new, the foundations of this approach stem from early twentieth century Germany, where architects and planners were already beginning to use the design concepts which are now referred to as "green." This ecological school of thought was driven by modernist landscape architect Leberecht Migge (1881-1935). Working with significant modernist architects of the age including Martin Elsaesser, Ernst May, Bruno Taut, and Martin Wagner Migge was responsible for some of the most important housing and planning projects of the age; the mass housing settlements, or Gro siedlungen, of Frankfurt Main and Berlin. Using "biotechnic" principles to integrally link dwelling and garden, Migge was able to recycle household waste to grow foodstuffs through the use of innovative infrastructure and open space planning. Also a skilled park and garden designer, he drew together green and architectural elements in his "garden-architectonic" approach.

Résumé:
Detailed history of one of America’s most popular architectural styles–the Cape Cod house–from its beginnings more than six centuries ago to the present. The story starts in rural England where yeomen and tradesmen built their small one to one-and-a-half story timber framed cottages. The first settlers that came to the New World and settled in Massachusetts built comparable cottages in the 1620s. After explaining the three basic variations–half cape, three quarter cape, and full cape–the book examines more than 100 historic houses spread throughout southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod. Comparing archival images, building plans, and present-day photographs, the book considers different aspects of the evolution of this house style. This study is complete with more than 600 images detailing the interiors and exteriors of these classic homes. A must for anyone interested in architecture, Cape Cod, and the most admired of American homes.

Résumé:
For most people, resident and visitor alike, Victoria, British Columbia, is a time capsule of Victorian and Edwardian buildings. For its first 50 years the settlement flourished as the capital of the province. A smallpox epidemic in the 1890s closed Victoria's port, causing the city to go into decline and shelving plans for the Canada Western Hotel, for a replica of the Parthenon in Beacon Hill Park, and for the grandiose Italianate facade that was to complete City Hall. Victoria tried to reinvent itself as a tourist destination, but it wasn't until the modernizing boom after the Second World War that attempts were made to drag the city's built environment into the mainstream. Unbuilt Victoria examines some of the architectural plans that were proposed but rejected. That some of them were ever dreamed of will probably amaze; that others never made it might well be a matter of regret.

Construire des bâtiments tout en favorisant la biodiversité: utopie ou réalité ? Ce deuxième guide de la collection Natureparif, destinée aux acteurs économiques et aux décideurs, se propose de répondre à cette question. A l'heure où le secteur de la construction se tourne vers l'efficacité énergétique, la biodiversité est la grande oubliée. Elle connaît pourtant sa sixième crise d'extinction et notre avenir est lié à son maintien. En choisissant de traiter une à une les étapes d'un projet: la conception, la construction, l'exploitation, la fin de vie et la rénovation, sous la forme de fiches techniques, Natureparif offre des pistes pour concilier développement économique et amélioration de la biodiversité, grâce aux regards croisés de différents acteurs: urbanistes, architectes, entreprises du BTP, bailleurs sociaux, paysagistes, écologues ou élus.

Résumé:
Collaborateur puis associé, propagateur de ses idées, André Wogenscky (1916-2004) a longtemps été dans l'ombre de la haute stature de Le Corbusier. Il participe et mène à bien de grands projets corbuséens (unités d'habitation de Marseille et de Rezé) puis en terminera d'autres comme à Firminy. Bien que fortement inspiré par l'esprit et l'humanisme du maître, Wogenscky développe dès 1955 une oeuvre architecturale propre marquée par des bâtiments emblématiques en France (maison de la culture de Grenoble, préfecture des Hauts-de-Seine) et des projets de grande ampleur au Proche-Orient et au Japon. Il accorde une attention extrême aux paysages, aux usages, aux perceptions spatiales et colorées qui stimulent la vie et modifie le quotidien, car pour lui "Tout en architecture est dicté par l'homme, pour l'homme.

Résumé:
L'anthologie du fondateur de la Poésie Concrète au Brésil, auteur d'une œuvre radicale aussi influente dans le champ littéraire qu'artistique. L'anthologie bilingue Poètemoins d'Augusto de Campos regroupe un choix de poèmes à partir de ses trois recueils Viva Vaia (Viva Vivant), Despoesia (Dépoésie) et Nao Poemas (Non Poèmes), des mythiques Poetamenos de 1953 à ses dernières créations. L'ouvrage commence (couverture) par un hommage à Mallarmé, l'hologramme Poema Bomba, à partir d'une phrase citée par Sartre : «Il n'y a pas d'autre bombe qu'un poème» et se termine par une phrase de Mallarmé mise en page typographiquement à la manière concrétiste : «Des contemporains ne savent pas lire», en réponse à un reproche d'obscurité qu'on lui faisait. Cette traduction des principaux poèmes d'Augusto de Campos, le poète de São Paulo à l'origine en 1953, avec le poète suisse Eugen Gomringer, du mouvement international de la Poésie Concrète, a été réalisée à partir notamment des derniers recueils parus au Brésil, dont Não, Non. Les derniers poèmes (notamment présentés dans le cadre de la 11e Biennale de Lyon) sont en fait des fichiers informatiques conçus comme des œuvres. La question posée est celle de la modernité en écriture. Augusto de Campos nous renvoie à cette modernité initiée en France par le Coup de Dés de Mallarmé ou les Idéogrammes lyriques d'Apollinaire. Un poème pose la question de la post avant-garde : Pós-tudo, Post-tout. Avec le mot «MUDO», à la fois «je change» et «muet». L'usage de l'ordinateur comme médium ouvre de nouvelles possibilités à cette avant-garde. Ce qui n'empêche pas le livre, comme en témoigne cet objet, impossible à réaliser sans l'ordinateur. Préface et traductions : Jacques Donguy.
