Résumé:
First published in 1960, Theory and Design in the First Machine Age has become required reading in numerous courses on the history of modern architecture and is widely regarded as one of the definitive books on the modern movement. It has influenced a generation of students and critics interested in the formation of attitudes, themes, and forms which were characteristic of artists and architects working primarily in Europe between 1900 and 1930 under the compulsion of new technological developments in the first machine age.

Résumé:
"Filth" is concerned with what waste reveals about the culture that creates it. From floating barges of urban refuse to dung-encrusted works of art, from toxic landfills to dirty movies, filth has become a major presence and a point of volatile contention in modern life. This book explores the question of what filth has to do with culture: what critical role the lost, the rejected, the abject, and the dirty play in social management and identity formation. It suggests the ongoing power of culturally mandated categories of exclusion and repression. Focusing on filth in literary and cultural materials from London, Paris, and their colonial outposts in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the essays in "Filth" - all but one previously unpublished - range over topics as diverse as the building of sewers in nineteenth-century European metropolises, the link between interior design and bourgeois sanitary phobias, the fictional representation of labouring women and foreigners as polluting, and relations among disease, disorder, and sexual-racial disharmony. "Filth" provides the first sustained consideration, both theoretical and historical, of a subject whose power to horrify, fascinate, and repel is as old as civilization itself. Contributors: David S. Barnes, Neil Blackadder, Joseph Bristow, Joseph W. Childers, Eileen Cleere, Natalka Freeland, Pamela K. Gilbert, Christopher Hamlin, William Kupinse, Benjamin Lazier, David L. Pike, David Trotter.

Résumé:
Première monographie sur Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945), un des architectes modernistes français les plus connus. Le palais Stoclet, édifié par l’architecte viennois Josef Hoffmann pour son oncle à Bruxelles, aura une influence déterminante sur son art. Mallet-Stevens arrive effectivement au modernisme par le chemin de la Sécession viennoise, ce qui confère à ses œuvres une élégance et un raffinement rares. Pendant l’entre-deux-guerres, il fut avec Pierre Chareau, G. Guévrékian, Le Corbusier et André Lurçat l’un des rares protagonistes du Style International en France. Le livre évoque également ses interventions dans les décors de cinémas.
