Résumé:
Ce livre est un essai en douze chapitres sur la beauté et la fragilité. La beauté de notre monde périssable, la fragilité des choses et des vies, la nostalgie qui habite les objets et les lieux. Roberto Peregalli voit les façades des maisons comme des visages. Il regarde le blanc, le verre, ou la lumière des temples, des cathédrales, de la pyramide du Louvre. Il dénonce l'effroi provoqué par le gigantisme et l'inadaptation de l'architecture moderne, la violence de la technologie. Il s'attarde sur le langage et la splendeur des ruines, de la patine et et de la pénombre. Il dénonce l'incurie de l'homme quant à son destin. Roberto Peregalli nous renvoie à notre condition de mortel. Il nous rappelle combien tout est fragile dans notre être et notre façon d'être. À la façon de Tanizaki, dans Éloge de l'ombre, il dévoile avec sensibilité et intelligence l'effondrement de valeurs qui sont les nôtres et qui méritent d'être en permanence repensées et préservées.

Résumé:
This volume presents hundreds of manifestations of one aspect of Japanese architecture: the window. Covering all manner of examples, typologies, and functions, the richly illustrated anthology gives a technical analysis of each, with photographic views from both exterior and interior, as well as diagrams detailing how interior space and functions correlate with the openings in the various buildings’ facades. Whether for light, ventilation, accessibility, permeability, (in)visibility, or a combination of these things, the humble window is revealed in its crucial role in determining how a specific architectural object is designed, constructed, perceived, and utilised.

Résumé:
The latest instalment of the ‘Contemporary Architect’s Concept Series’ features Jo Nagasaka of Schemata Architects, a Tokyo-based office active since 1998. The book was designed by So Hashizume, who also designed the Schemata Architects website. As such, it is an extension and continued expression of the office’s identity, a concept that encourages referring to the website while reading the book. Seven contributors write about Nagasaka and his practice – including long-time book lover Hiroshi Eguchi, who helped produce this edition – while Nagasaka in turn responds with his thoughts on architecture and design, plus his own work and activities beyond building.

Résumé:
From 1970–1990, architecture experienced a revision as part of the post-modern movement. The critical attitude to the functionalistic Moderne style and the influence of semiotics and philosophical trends, such as phenomenology, on architectural theory led to an increased interest in its history, expression, perception, and context. In addition, architectural heritage and the care of architectural monuments gained importance. This development also increasingly challenged the ideologically based division between East and West. Instead of emphasizing the differences, the search was for a joint cultural heritage. The contributions in this volume question terms such as "Moderne" and "post-modern", and show how architecture could again represent local, regional, and national identity.

Résumé:
From 1960–1980, both eastern and western Europe experienced a construction boom of new dimensions. Cybernetics, the science of planning, and sociology, as well as the new possibilities offered by technology and production, paved the way to large-scale processes and systems in architecture and urban design, which favored technocratic and utopian concepts. Increasingly, architects and planners saw themselves as designers of comprehensive infrastructure and mega-structures in a technology-focused world. The authors assesses these developments on the back of a knowledge transfer between East and West. It confirms a change in attitude that can still be felt today – recession, social changes, and environmental problems led to criticism of the then contemporary concepts of modernity.
