L'étonnante association, pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, d'Eugène Beaudouin (1898-1983) et de Marcel Lods (1891-1978) a constitué un temps fort dans l'histoire de l'architecture moderne en France.

L'étonnante association, pendant l'entre-deux-guerres, d'Eugène Beaudouin (1898-1983) et de Marcel Lods (1891-1978) a constitué un temps fort dans l'histoire de l'architecture moderne en France. Si Beaudouin reste un architecte tourné vers la ville, Lods, homme d'action, s'attache aux possibilités constructives de répétition et de sérialisation offertes par les nouveaux matériaux tels que le verre et le métal. Ces deux personnalités de talents et d'ambitions divergentes ont collaboré pour créer une oeuvre variée et particulièrement novatrice : la Cité du Champ-des-Oiseaux à Bagneux, l'École de plein air à Suresnes, la Maison du Peuple à Clichy ou la Cité de la Muette à Drancy...

Résumé:
Pourquoi reconquérir les rues ? Parce que c’est là que se joue, sans qu’on en soit toujours conscient, une grande partie de la qualité de la vie dans une ville. Il y a des rues où l’on se sent bien, des rues vivantes — sans forcément être commerçantes —, où l’on se dit qu’on aimerait bien habiter et élever nos enfants. Et puis il y a des rues qui, à l’inverse, nous(...)

Résumé:
Pourquoi reconquérir les rues ? Parce que c’est là que se joue, sans qu’on en soit toujours conscient, une grande partie de la qualité de la vie dans une ville. Il y a des rues où l’on se sent bien, des rues vivantes — sans forcément être commerçantes —, où l’on se dit qu’on aimerait bien habiter et élever nos enfants. Et puis il y a des rues qui, à l’inverse, nous semblent mornes, stériles, désertes, et qui malheureusement sont devenues plutôt la norme dans notre pays. Nicolas Soulier nous montre que cette situation n’est pas inéluctable et que de nombreux exemples de reconquête fleurissent à travers le monde, mais aussi en France. De ces situations exemplaires, prises en Allemagne, en Suisse, au Canada, en Angleterre et aux USA, l’auteur tire des conclusions pratiques et propose des pistes d’action pour reconquérir nos rues.

Résumé:
Further extending Jonathan Hill's investigation of authorship, this book recognizes the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user. Although acknowledging the influence of the client, contractor and engineer, the relations between the designer, user and weather are the focus of this book. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture's relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather's effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, leading to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change.

According to Kant, in this interconnected and dynamic world, humans should act as mutually dependent and responsible subjects. Given his future-oriented and ethico-politically concerned thinking, Kant is a thinker who clearly speaks to architects. This introduction demonstrates how his ideas bear pertinently and creatively upon the world in which we live now and for which we should care thoughtfully.

Résumé:
Providing a concise and accessible introduction to the work of the celebrated twentieth century German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer, this book focuses on the aspects of Gadamer’s philosophy that have been the most influential among architects, educators in architecture, and architectural theorists. Gadamer’s philosophy of art gives a special place to the activity of "play" as it occurs in artistic creation. His reflections on meaning and symbolism in art draw upon his teacher, Martin Heidegger, while moving Heidegger’s thought in new directions. His theory of interpretation, or "philosophical hermeneutics," offers profound ways to understand the influence of the past upon the present and to appropriate cultural history in ever new forms. For architects, architectural theorists, architectural historians, and students in these fields, Gadamer’s thought opens a world of possibilities for understanding how building today can be rich with human meaning, relating to architecture’s history in ways that do not merely repeat nor repudiate that history. In addition, Gadamer’s sensitivity to the importance of practical thinking – to the way that theory arises out of practice – gives his thought a remarkable usefulness in the everyday work of professional life.

Résumé:
From the mid-1960s onwards Michel Foucault has had a significant impact on diverse aspects of culture, knowledge and the arts including architecture and its critical discourse. The implications for architecture have been wide-ranging. His archaeological and genealogical approaches to knowledge have transformed architectural history and theory, while his attitude to arts and aesthetics led to a renewed focus on the avant-garde. The book concentrates on a number of historical and theoretical issues often addressed by Foucault that have been grouped under the themes of archaeology, enclosure, bodies, spatiality and aesthetics in order to examine and demonstrate their relevancy for architectural knowledge, its history and its practice.
