Résumé:
The Technical Schools complex in Groningen was designed in 1922 by the then director of technical education, civil engineer Jan Gerko Wiebenga, in collaboration with the Rotterdam architect Leendert Cornelis van der Vlugt. The original complex comprised a secondary and a junior secondary technical school plus two rows of workshops and laboratories and various outbuildings in between. Wiebenga’s decision to construct the schools in concrete was unusual in that at the time this method of construction was considered suitable only for industrial buildings. The materialization, column structure and window bands all gave the building an unprecedentedly modern appearance. Over the years, the buildings have been radically altered, partially demolished and extended. The Wiebenga complex has recently been renovated, restored and completely adapted to modern educational requirements. Every effort was made to enhance the identity of the original buildings of what is now officially recognized as a modern national monument and the architectural design of the conversion is closely related to the principles of the original concept.

Résumé:
At once an entrancing cultural history and a congenial guide for tourists, armchair travelers, and amateur archaeologists alike, this book conducts readers through the storied past and towering presence of the most famous building in the world. Who built the Parthenon, and for what purpose? How are we to understand its sculpture? Why is it such a compelling monument? The classicist and historian Mary Beard takes us back to the fifth century B.C. to consider the Parthenon in its original guise--as the flagship temple of imperial Athens, housing an enormous gold and ivory statue of the city's patron goddess attended by an enigmatic assembly of sculptures. Just as fascinating is the monument's far longer life as cathedral church of Our Lady of Athens, as "the finest mosque in the world," and, finally, as an inspirational ruin and icon. Beard also takes a cool look at the bitter arguments that continue to surround the "Elgin Marbles," the sculptures from the Parthenon now in the British Museum.

Résumé:
In his selection of 70 photographs by Lee Friedlander, acclaimed filmmaker Joel Coen focuses on Friedlander’s beautifully strange sense of composition, in which images are off kilter and visually dense, bisected and carved by stop signs and utility poles, store windows and reflections, car doors and windshields or shadows and trees.

Résumé:
In his selection of 70 photographs by Lee Friedlander, acclaimed filmmaker Joel Coen focuses on Friedlander’s beautifully strange sense of composition, in which images are off kilter and visually dense, bisected and carved by stop signs and utility poles, store windows and reflections, car doors and windshields or shadows and trees. "As a filmmaker, I liked the idea of creating a sequence that would highlight Lee’s unusual approach to framing?his splitting, splintering, repeating, fracturing and reassembling elements into new and impossible compositions," Coen writes. Featuring work spanning more than 60 years, the book includes selections from some of Friedlander’s most celebrated series, including ''The American Monument,'' ''America by Car,'' ''The Little Screens'' and others, arranged to draw connections between form and composition rather than subject. In an afterword, renowned actor Frances McDormand describes the bond between the two artists: "they both capture and fill frames with sometimes simple and other times chaotically elaborate images that cause us all to wonder."

Saint-Pierre-des-Corps apparaît comme une ville de passage, tapie entre la Loire et le Cher, irriguée par le chemin de fer, démarquée de Tours par une autoroute. Née avec l’industrie, la cité ne compte qu’un monument historique: une locomotive à vapeur, la Pacific Chapelon 231 E 41. La ville des ouvriers et des cheminots recèle pourtant bien d’autres trésors industriels, comme l’usine Doubinski ou l’immense nef de béton armé de l’ancien Magasin général de la SNCF. C’est aussi une ville de mémoire. Détruite lors des deux guerres, elle a été reconstruite par des architectes sensibles et cultivés comme Jean-Marie Hardion, Emile Labadie, puis Jean Dorian qui ont recréé un habitat peu dense, semé de squares et de jardins. Derrière la ville moderne perdurent les puits, les maraîchages de jadis et les rottes, ces chemins furtifs mènent à des jardins cachés. Saint-Pierre-des-Corps est aussi un espace de création.

Pendant plus de 200 ans et sur six générations, la famille est à la pointe de la recherche agronomique et horticole en France. Pour leurs travaux et par passion pour les végétaux, elle constitue un herbier étonnant, le seul du genre arrivé jusqu'à nous. Cet herbier témoigne de l'activité industrielle et scientifique autour de la sélection des semences. Il a bien failli disparaître à la fin du siècle dernier mais l'enthousiasme des Verriérois l'a sorti de l'anonymat. La commune de Verrières-le-Buisson, terre des Vilmorin de 1815 à 1966 s'est attachée à valoriser ce patrimoine exceptionnel. En 2006, «l'herbier Roger de Vilmorin » qui comprend quelque 50 000 planches botaniques, dont un herbier dédié à Parmentier, une importante collection de blé, des aquarelles du Japon, un album d'iconographie de légumes… a été classé Monument historique.

Résumé:
Drawing on architecture, performance art, history and visual theory, ''In search of African American space'' explores the creative relationship between the African diaspora and social space in America. Illustrated with vintage adverts, maps, posters and architectural plans, and organized thematically, this anthology, edited by Jeffrey Hogrefe and Scott Ruff at the Pratt Institute in New York, is divided into three sections. The anthology is organized thematically, presenting African American space in a broad cultural context. The section ''The monument, memorial, and mundane,'' explores the analytical methods of architects Scott Ruff, Yolande Daniels, Rodney Leon, Elizabeth Kennedy, Sara Caples and Everardo Jefferson, who have dedicated their studies and practices to examining spatial typologies related to the African diaspora. As architects working directly in the afterlife of slavery, conscious of spatial performances of opposition in relationship to architecture, they introduce their own interpretations of African American space from their personal experiences and a dedication to an aspect of practice that has been operating largely outside of the academy.

Résumé:
James Stirling`s partnership with James Gowan between 1956 and 1963 put postwar British architecture on the international map, and their Leicester University Engineering Building became an iconic monument for a new kind of modernism. Mark Crinson's book is the most thoroughly researched study of Stirling and Gowan's partnership to date. Based on extensive interviews and archival research, Crinson argues that their work was the product of two equally creative partners whose different concerns produced a dynamic aesthetic. He gives an in-depth account of their training and early careers, their relation to key architects and movements of the time, and the commissioning, design, and construction of their work. This critical reassessment dispels previous myths and inaccuracies regarding their partnership and analyzes how ideas about mannerism, modernism, nostalgia, community, consumerism, Victorian cities, and institutional typologies influenced their designs. Stirling and Gowan positions their avant-garde creations within a larger context as creative responses to Britain's postwar deindustrialization and the shift from austerity to affluence.
