Résumé:
Depuis les années 1980 et la célébration du centenaire de la naissance de Le Corbusier, l'ensemble de son œuvre a été l'objet d'une reconnaissance grandissante à l'échelle nationale et internationale. Firminy n'a pas été exclue de ce mouvement. Le récent achèvement de l'église Saint Pierre de Firminy-Vert et le projet d'inscription au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO du " Site Le Corbusier à Firminy ", constituent le couronnement d'un processus de reconnaissance sans précédent. Ce mouvement de reconnaissance est aujourd'hui à Firminy au cœur d'un vaste projet de requalification économique et identitaire dont le tourisme culturel constitue un des axes principaux. Comprendre les mécanismes et les conséquences de ce mouvement, en intégrant l'histoire et le changement de statut de ce bâti, constitue l'objet central de cet ouvrage. Fruit d'un travail commun entre chercheurs et praticiens mené sur le terrain pendant trois ans, cet ouvrage offre un éclairage spécifique sur le sens que l'on doit donner aujourd'hui à l'héritage corbuséen à Firminy, héritage dont la postérité est désormais liée aux transformations économiques, sociales et culturelles de notre époque.

Résumé:
Embracing one's own traditions is not a backward turn. Instead, it represents the chance to obtain a European identity, which after the erratic attemps at finding form in past decades can now be developed further in a new continuity. The works of Ortner & Ortner exhibit this clearly. Following their Primer of Architecture, Ortner & Ortner new provide a compendium of their buildings and designs for 'European culture'. Presented are projects in three areas: theaters, museums, and libraries. The projects begin with the experimental ventures from the Haus-Rucker-Co era and end cultural buildings that are among the most significant internationally. 'European culture' is an exemplary situation in which the old and new concur in an unparalleled wealth of features and are then reunited in a new blend. A comprehensive text section with contributions by Manuela Hötzl, Ernst Hubeli, Bart Lootsma, Sophie Lovell, and Laurids Ortner focuses on selected projects, grasping the ingredients of this European blend.

Résumé:
Edmund Burke's "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful" is one of the most important works of aesthetics ever published. Whilst many writers have taken up their pen to write of "the beautiful", Burkes subject here was that quality he uniquely distinguished as "the sublime" - an all-consuming force beyond beauty that compelled terror as much as rapture in all who beheld it. It was an analysis that would go on to inspire some of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, including Immanuel Kant and Denis Diderot. The Routledge Classics edition presents the authoritative text of the first critical edition of Burkes essay ever published, including a substantial critical and historical commentary.

Résumé:
This book on urban design extends and develops the widely accepted 'compact city' solution. It provides a design proposal for a new kind of sustainable urban landscape: Urban Agriculture. By growing food within an urban rather than exclusively rural environment, urban agriculture would reduce the need for industrialized production, packaging and transportation of foodstuffs to the city dwelling consumers. The revolutionary and innovative concepts put forth in this book have potential to shape the future of our cities quality of life within them. Urban design is shown in practice through international case studies and the arguments presented are supported by quantified economic, environmental and social justifications.

Résumé:
Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) was by turns businessman, soldier, playwright, herald and architect of some of the most important country houses of his era. In this book architectural historian Vaughan Hart draws on these diverse interests to examine afresh Vanbrugh's surviving, destroyed and unrealised buildings as well as the designs he executed in collaboration with Nicholas Hawksmoor. It was the fate of Vanbrugh's buildings to be at first maligned and then misunderstood. Hart outlines the contemporary political and social events which influenced the architect and shows how his strikingly original houses, such as those as Seaton Delaval and Grimsthorpe, can be interpreted through reference to classical mythology, renaissance fortifications and medieval houses. Vaughan Hart is Professor of Architecture in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of Bath.
