Résumé:
"Les Nouvelles maisons de campagne" célèbre ces constructions et la place qu'elles occupent dans l'environnement et le paysage à travers quatre chapitres principaux ; l'organique, le vernaculaire, le contemporain et l'expérimental. L'introduction retrace l'histoire et l'évolution de ce type de bâtiments, et trente études de cas montrent les approches différentes - modernes ou plus traditionnelles - que des architectes ont adoptées pour définir une nouvelle résidence secondaire, synonyme de variété, d'énergie et d'originalité. Reflet des évolutions récentes de notre société, elle est à la fois plus souple et plus fonctionnelle.

Résumé:
Dès leurs premiers développements, au début du XXe siècle, les aéroports sont devenus un des thèmes architecturaux les plus caractéristiques et les pus importants. Non seulement ils suggèrent le progrès, la liberté, mais ils offrent aussi aux architectes la possibilité de concevoir et de réaliser des projets à grande échelle. En ce début de XXIe siècle, ils connaissent une renaissance passionnante, en évoluant pour devenir des entités à la fois complètes, circonscrites et capables de s'adapter au progrès. En satisfaisant de nouveaux besoins, ils laissent présager que le futur sera fait d'un renouvellement permanent.

Résumé:
From the Renaissance to the present day, each generation of artists, architects, and writers has used the powerful images of ruins to project its own vision of time and human destiny. The metamorphosis of the ruin motif in art explains not only the separations but the continuities between the perception of past and present that characterize the different art movements. Drawing from all media of Western art including garden design, photography, and fine art, Michel Makarius explores the rich and diverse iconography of ruins from da Vinci to Van Gogh, from Botticelli to Roy Lichtenstein. Ruins is a reminder of history at a time when few art motifs still have the power to demand attention for our immense collective past - and at a moment when a reminder is sorely needed.

Résumé:
Owen Jones was, and still remains, an influential force in the world of architecture and design. His prolific work is captured here in its various stages through drawings, architectural plans, and photographs. "Owen Jones: Design, Ornament, Architecture & Theory in an Age in Transition" fills a gap in the history of Victorian design. In his early career Jones was recognized as an authority on Oriental design. In the 1850s he was commissioned to decorate the interior of Joseph Paxton's World's Fair Crystal Palace in London. Other projects include St. James' Hall, the Crystal Palace Bazaar, Osler's Glass Shop, and Eynsham Hall at Oxford. In 1856 he completed his "Grammar of Ornament", which remains one of the most influential works on design published and is a source for many artists and designers today. More than just an architect, Jones' skills were applied to designing interiors, books, textiles, furniture, and carpet.
