Résumé:
The house of stone is the kind of project that happens only rarely : a house built to the highest standards of craftsmanship with the full support of the client, who acted as a patron of architecture in almost a Renaissance sense. This publication documents in full its making. It covers the initial phase of the project, the invited competition between Meili + Peter and Peter Zumthor, and contains a detailed description of the concepts underlying the design. A particular focus is the relation between the structural and the technical aspects of the project, which is described through engineering and working drawings as well as photographs of the house under construction.

Résumé:
Si aujourd'hui, grâce à des traductions tardives, parues jusqu'à un siècle après leur version originale, Riegl et Panofsky ont enfin été intégrés en France dans l'histoire et la réflexion sur l'art, il est stupéfiant de constater que l'oeuvre qui est à l'origine de leur relativisme historique et de leur conception des arts visuels comme mode créatif et spécifique de la connaissance demeure totalement ignorée dans notre pays. C'est assez dire la lacune que vient combler la traduction de trois essais sur l'art de Fiedler, respectivement parus en en 1876, 1878, et 1887. Ceux-ci ne mettent pas seulement en perspective critique l'approche de l'art^par la philosophie antique, puis moderne : ils éclairent aussi les problématiques de notre époque dans les deux domaines de la peinture et de l'architecture.

Résumé:
Another Reason is a bold and innovative study of the intimate relationship between science, colonialism, and the modern nation. Gyan Prakash, one of the most influential historians of India writing today, explores in fresh and unexpected ways the complexities, contradictions, and profound importance of this relationship in the history of the subcontinent. He reveals how science served simultaneously as an instrument of empire and as a symbol of liberty, progress, and universal reason--and how, in playing these dramatically different roles, it was crucial to the emergence of the modern nation.

Résumé:
Freitag bags have been an overwhelming success in the struggle between brands. This "messenger Bag" created by the Swiss bothers Daniel and Markus Freitag has become an urban cult product. The bags originate in an ironc and ecologically critical approach: the bags are cut from used lorry tarpaulins and tailor-made on a small scale with used bicycle inner tubes and safety belts. This publication describes the history of the product and asks questions about economic, ecological, and sociocultural contexts, espressing the aesthetics of a generation that is as vain as it is critical of consumerism. The book's spine is made of the same type of lorry tarpaulin as is used for the bags, thus each book's spine is unique.

Résumé:
Toyo Ito is one of the foremost architects working today. His architecture makes innovative use of steel and aluminium and includes such buildings as the White U House and the Eggs of Winds in Tokyo. This volume focuses on his Mediathèque in Sendai. This newly completed structure, which houses a library, art gallery, cinema, lecture theatre, and cybercafé, is predicated on the idea that the users of the building occupy a media/ information landscape or “digital ecology. ”Through a series of extraordinary technical advances, floors supported by a system of occupiable hollow tubes and sophisticated information and media networks, the building creates an environment in which people can engage in cultural activities both internally (within the structure) and externally (through digital connections to the world at large). This volume investigates the evolution of the structure through a series of essays by experts on media, architectural technology, and digital culture.

Résumé:
Le deux cent cinquantième anniversaire de l'un des plus beaux ensembles urbains du XVIIIe siècle, la place Stanislas de Nancy, ancienne place Royale restaurée et rendue au piéton en 2005, offre l'occasion au musée des Beaux-Arts d'une vaste exposition consacrée, aux villes européennes entre 1720 et 1770. Après les transformations du XVIIe siècle qui libérèrent la ville du carcan de ses remparts et avant les grands bouleversements des révolutions, tant politiques, économiques, philosophiques qu'esthétiques, au XVIIIe la cité s'affirme par son élégance et sa beauté dans une série de places et de bâtiments publics, d'aménagements et de promenades urbaines : en ce siècle, l'urbanisme s'appelle encore embellissement. Plans, estampes, dessins, maquettes anciennes, sculptures et peintures illustrent ainsi cet âge d'or urbain, partout manifeste en Europe, de Paris à Rome, de Nancy à Lisbonne, de Rennes à Saint-Pétersbourg, Cent quatre-vingt-cinq rouvres provenant de nombreuses collections françaises et étrangères permettent ainsi d'appréhender des thèmes essentiels de l'histoire de la ville au XVIIIe siècle : la mise en scène du pouvoir (places royales, villes-résidences...), le discours sur les monuments publics (églises, hôtels de ville, fontaines), la vie économique, les bouleversements volontaires ou subis, le théâtre et la fête urbaine. Mise en images et en mots par les plus beaux esprits du temps et les pinceaux des plus talentueux vedutistes (Bellotto, Canaletto, Pannini, Guardi...), la vie de ces cités révèle ses multiples facettes dans ce catalogue richement illustré, rédigé par les plus éminents spécialistes de l'histoire des arts et de l'architecture.
