Résumé:
This book includes essays from throughout Colquhoun’s distinguished career. In his early writing Colquhoun subjects modern architecture to a far more thorough reading than was then customary. His meticulous evaluation of Modernism raised the standard of architectural historiography and has influenced new directions in theory and practice ever since. This book encompasses the clarity of style and rigorous, erudite analysis that Colquhoun has brought to bear on a diverse range of subjects, including Le Corbusier, Robert Venturi and other.

Résumé:
A cloth edition of this book has been published by Yale University Press at $ 90,00. This engaging book presents the first critical retrospective look at the extraordinary architectural achievement of Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and their firm. Known for such prominent buildings as the Sainsbury Wing at the National Gallery in London and the Seattle Art Museum as well as such major urban revitalization plans as Washington Avenue in Miami and South Street in Philadelphia, Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates changed the face of architectural history. This husband and wife team rejected the universality of modernist design for a particularized contextual and associational approach to building, lauding the “complexity and contradictions” in the historic cityscape and “learning from Las Vegas” the value and vitality of the everyday environment. The book, which combines both biography and critical analysis, includes essays on the firm’s early and later architectural works and on their lesser-known decorative arts. It also features handsome color plates of the firm’s buildings, architectural drawings, and furniture and other decorative arts, as well as a checklist of all their buildings and projects.

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.
