Résumé:
Ces deux mots - l'intime et la chambre - semblent inextricablement liés, et ce d'autant que leur origine est assez concomitante. A l'aube du XVIIIe siècle, quand chambre à coucher il y a, elle n'est pas encore le lieu de l'intime. Un siècle plus tard, alors que les appartements se composent pratiquement des mêmes suites de pièces, les usages ont changé. On n'habite plus(...)

Résumé:
Ces deux mots - l'intime et la chambre - semblent inextricablement liés, et ce d'autant que leur origine est assez concomitante. A l'aube du XVIIIe siècle, quand chambre à coucher il y a, elle n'est pas encore le lieu de l'intime. Un siècle plus tard, alors que les appartements se composent pratiquement des mêmes suites de pièces, les usages ont changé. On n'habite plus la demeure de la même manière, et certaines pièces ont été sanctuarisées ; la chambre à coucher en fait partie. Pour mieux en rendre compte, ce livre propose d'explorer le XVIIIe siècle de part en part, de rechercher les traces de la transformation des esprits et des usages, d'interroger les continuités autant que les ruptures.

Leading architect Reinier de Graaf punctures the myths behind the debates on what contemporary architecture is, with wit and devastating honesty. Architecture, it seems, has become too important to leave to architects. No longer does it suffice to judge a building solely by its appearance, it must be measured, and certified. When architects talk about 'Excellence', 'Sustainability', 'Well-being', 'Liveability', 'Placemaking', 'Creativity', 'Beauty' and 'Innovation' what do they actually mean?

Résumé:
Over a period of three decades, from 1958 to 1988, the New South Wales Government Architect’s Office (GAO) in Australia realised nearly a thousand buildings across the state. This enormous production was the direct result of an ideological choice, one that involved a brutal commitment to building architecture that was merely adequate. In terms of scale and ambition, the GAO’s operation resembles the laying out of the Roman Empire. It built the infrastructure that holds the territory together, and in doing so literally constructed the state while obliterating the pre-existing country. Through numerous examples, this volume meticulously documents the phenomenon.

Résumé:
This publication explores the rich story of Upper Lawn’s construction and inhabitation by revisiting the small book Alison Smithson created with architect Enric Miralles in 1986. Here, the book’s contents, including diary entries, photographs, drawings, and references, are republished in full in a new design, expanded by extensive new materials from the Smithson archive. Together, these documents describe the building’s lived life, picturing it as a ledger of wear and use, a means of private and professional exploration, and a lens onto the passage of time inside and outside its walls. This book places Upper Lawn at the heart of the Smithsons’ practice, revealing its own quiet philosophy and ethics of architecture. This new book has been edited in collaboration with the Smithson Family Collection and includes an introductory essay by Paul Clarke, Professor of Architectural Design at the Belfast School of Architecture.

La normativité est intimement liée à l'architecture dans le sens large de la discipline : depuis l'instrument même de la règle, mesurant dimensions et proportions, depuis les multiples réglementations accompagnant la construction jusqu'aux traités fixant ordres et ordonnancements, en passant par les canons des discours historiographiques. Dans le prolongement d'une journée d'étude doctorale organisée à Rennes en 2020, ce livre explore, à travers le regard de six jeunes chercheurs, des questions de normativité au cours du XXe siècle, interrogeant la capacité des architectes à les contourner, voire à les transgresser.
