Résumé:
At the turn of the twentieth century numerous Canadian architects, artisans and artists set out to modify the esthetic and social environment through the integration of the arts. Painters produced murals; architects designed furniture; clubs formed to bring together writers, artists and architects; collectors and governments commissioned paintings, furnishings and sculpture for public and private buildings; photography rivaled painting; and crafts became applied design. Building on both the Beaux-Arts movement in France and the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain and the United States, Canadian art practitioners met the challenge of obtaining patronage - which had until then looked abroad - to create a unique aesthetic that shot through all aspects of daily life.

A l'âge de vingt-quatre ans, Le Corbusier entreprend son mythique "voyage d'Orient". Parti de Berlin, il traverse les Balkans, la Turquie, la Grèce et l'Italie avant de terminer son parcours à La Chaux-de-Fonds. Son itinérance le conduit vers les sites et les monuments les plus célèbres et lui permet de découvrir les traditions et folklores des régions traversées. Au cours du voyage, il réalise plus de trois cents dessins, remplit six carnets de croquis, prend plus de quatre cents photographies et écrit des centaines de lettres à ses parents et à ses amis. Il en rédige le récit qui ne sera finalement publié qu'en 1966, sous le titre Le voyage d'Orient.

Résumé:
The debut portfolio by Onishimaki+Hyakudayuki Architects, a young Japanese duo based in Tokyo, focuses on their concept of “telling architecture like a story”. At the forefront of a new generation of architects in Japan, their projects are known for narrative characteristics and are integrated into the environment. Although only a handful have been realised, their positive attitude towards architecture views reality in a rather candid fashion, accepting and inheriting the history of a place. Along with a foreword by Toyo Ito and critical texts by Taro Igarashi and Yoshikazu Nango, this beautifully presented book highlights significant works, such as the Double Helix House.

Résumé:
Cultiver un jardin de ville ou une terre agricole sans perturber les écosystèmes ni trop se fatiguer. Habiter une maison qui consomme moins et qui produise même un peu. Mettre sur pied des réseaux d’échanges dont les bénéfices resteront dans la communauté. La permaculture permet à chacun de concevoir et de réaliser ces projets – et bien d’autres – simplement en imitant les modèles déjà présents dans la nature. Dans ce micromanuel abondamment illustré, Graham Burnett montre en effet que la permaculture consiste d’abord à travailler avec la nature et non contre elle, en minimisant l’effort requis. Le niveau d’intervention optimal, selon l’auteur : « ne rien faire »! Car la nature est économe, pour ne pas dire paresseuse. Son principe est de multiplier les interactions fertiles, d’employer des éléments qui remplissent plusieurs fonc tions, de tendre vers l’autosuffisance et de ne rien jeter.
