Résumé:
Au Moyen Age, entre le XIIe et le XIVe siècle, 80 grandes cathédrales gothiques se sont dressées dans le seul royaume de France. Pour construire ces édifices gigantesques, il a fallu énormément d'argent et beaucoup de moyens. De la pierre et du bois de bonne qualité, mais aussi et surtout des hommes de métier capables de lever un tel monument. François Icher nous décrit ici l'univers particulier de ces chantiers de cathédrales, comment le maître d'ouvrage choisissait son maître d'oeuvre et recrutait les compagnons indispensables à la réalisation de son projet. Il nous détaille la vie quotidienne du chantier et nous explique la place et le rôle des enfants apprentis bâtisseurs. On suit ainsi, étape par étape, la longue et passionnante épopée de la construction d'une cathédrale.

Résumé:
The work of women designers touches every part of our lives. In the 1920s British furniture designer and architect Eileen Gray developed ideas for homes that still seem modern today. From chairs made of steel tubes to bare-basic rooms, she created an entirely new look. American Suzanne E. Vanderbilt was one of the first women to design cars for General Motors. Designer of cities Jane Jacobs caused controversy in the 1960s with her campaign against a New York expressway that revolutionized the way we understand urban life. And designer Ritu Kumar, known as “the grand woman of Indian fashion,” is celebrated for bringing the beautiful tradition of embroidery to modern clothes. The other designers profiled in this collection are landscape architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, roboticist Cynthia Breazeal, costume designer Eiko Ishioka, interior designer Aissa Dione, fashion designer Vera Wang, and architect Zaha Hadid.

The perfect machine

Résumé:
If you could build a perfect machine, what would it be? Would it be something that goes really fast, like a motorcycle, or something that uses sunlight to make fruit, like a tree? Or what about something that can write a book or paint a picture? In this picture book for children of all ages, artist Lance Letscher tells a beguiling story of a boy who sets out to build(...)

Résumé:
If you could build a perfect machine, what would it be? Would it be something that goes really fast, like a motorcycle, or something that uses sunlight to make fruit, like a tree? Or what about something that can write a book or paint a picture? In this picture book for children of all ages, artist Lance Letscher tells a beguiling story of a boy who sets out to build the perfect machine and makes a surprising discovery. Letscher illustrates the story through collages that are themselves composed of pieces of other stories—children's storybooks, old school books and exercises, boxes that once held games. These collages, with their many layers of detail, encourage us to ponder where creative ideas come from. An appealing way to introduce children to fine art, The Perfect Machine represents a new direction in Letscher's work, in which fragments of phrases in his collages summon up memories and associations without being specifically narrative. Combining images with a story for the first time, Letscher has created a delightful, thought-provoking book that adults and children alike will enjoy.
