Résumé:
Robert A. M. Stern is dedicated to the synthesis of tradition and innovation. In more than thirty-five years of practice, he has produced a wide range of building types with a variety of stylistic influences, all inspired by the great legacy of American architecture. His firm, Robert A. M. Stern architects, was first recognized for its distinguished houses, and residential design remains the cornerstone of the practice. This illustrated monograph-a companion to "Robert A. M. Stern: houses"- presents twenty-six of the firm's most memorable houses. Located in diverse settings across North America-from a valley in Colorado with views of the Aspen mountains to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound to an island off the coast of British Columbia-these houses reveal the architect's emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are Shingle style "cottages" by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, Stern's houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past-a dialogue he believes lies at the heart of architecture.

Résumé:
Wallace Neff may have been the preeminent architect of Spanish colonial-revival houses in Southern California. Neff was an inventive designer who was not only adept at manipulating traditional styles to please famous, wealthy clients like Cary Grant, Claudette Colbert, and Darryl Zanuck; he was also a pioneer in low-cost housing and pneumatic building. The Bubble House, as his best-known Airform structure was fondly nicknamed, had a social vision as compelling as that of any modernist housing project. "Wallace Neff and the grand houses of the golden state" tells the life story of this architect, who was raised as Southern California aristocracy - an heir to one of the founders of Rand McNally & Company -- and grew up to influence the course of architectural history in California. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white archival photographs that document Neff's family life and professional accomplishments, journalist Diane Kanner's compelling narrative offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of residential architecture in Southern California.

Résumé:
In his "Households" series, artist and architect Mark Robbins has invented the "flip side" of interior design magazines: a compelling series of photographs of actual people in actual homes. A young family at a writers retreat, a gay couple in a Long Island beach house, a husband and wife in a family compound, a single parent in a city apartment: Robbins has photographed residents and environments that comment on contemporary life and relationships. Robbins's design and photography work, which bridges the fields of art and architecture, has long focused on the complex social and political forces that contribute to the built environment. The thoughtfully arranged compositions reinforce, undermine, and even confuse stereotypes; the collection as a whole comments on present-day customs and ways of life in all their complexity.

L'urbanisme et l'architecture civile de Montpellier ont fait l'objet de recherches approfondies de la part du service régional de l'Inventaire. Trois volumes sont déjà parus dans cette collection. Le quatrième porte sur les édifices publics, militaires et religieux depuis l'âge roman jusqu'aux années 1950. Il permet de découvrir un patrimoine exceptionnel à plus d'un titre, représentatif de l'époque classique, âge d'or de l'architecture montpelliéraine, ou témoin de la spécialisation de la ville dans l'architecture hospitalière. Il permet aussi de comprendre le rôle joué par l'Eglise, les intendants, les édiles, l'Etat et met en lumière la tragédie que furent pour la ville les guerres de Religion.

Résumé:
Dressé au bord du Rhône, le château de Tarascon défendait l'accès des possessions des comtes de Provence. La construction de l'édifice actuel a débuté en 1400, sous Louis II d'Anjou, et fut achevée un demi-siècle après par le Roi René. Le château tient autant du palais que de la forteresse, avec ses hauts murs nus et presque aveugles, dissimulant le décor raffiné du logis seigneurial et de la cour centrale. Devenu une prison au 17e siècle, il le demeura jusqu'en 1926. Il abrite une suite exceptionnelle de tapisseries du 17e siècle représentant "l'histoire de Scipion", qui a été acquise par la Caisse nationale des monuments historiques et des sites.
