Les faubourgs de Mons où s’est établi le nouveau théâtre du Manège ont le charme des villes de garnison.

Résumé:
Les faubourgs de Mons où s’est établi le nouveau théâtre du Manège ont le charme des villes de garnison. Si l’ancien manège de cavalerie subsiste encore, c’est sur un autre manège qu’a été greffé le théâtre. L’intervention de Pierre Hebbelinck et Pierre de Wit sur ce bâtiment centenaire a été guidée par deux principes : la vitalité intérieure, c’est-à-dire l’intégration d’une mécanique théâtrale vivante au service de la politique de Daniel Cordova, son directeur artistique, et l’adéquation au développement potentiel du quartier, en réintroduisant ce manège désaffecté dans le continuum historique. C’est le dramaturge Jean Louvet qui nous fait l’honneur de la visite et nous présente à l’hôte de ces lieux, Daniel Cordova qui engage la discussion sur les rapports entre l’architecture et le théâtre, tandis que Bernard Baines évoque pour sa part les différents projets qui ont été soumis au jury de ce concours d’architecture. Jean-Didier Bergilez nous réserve la quintessence d’un entretien avec les architectes et Xavier Canonne s’attache à l’intervention in situ des photographes plasticiennes Christine Felten et Véronique Massinger : Mons, les Casemates.

Résumé:
Throughout Europe, expressionism powerfully heralded the onset of the roaring twenties—its complexity, verticality, and theatricality crystallizing the essence of the modern metropolis. Enthusiasm for the expressionist vision of a new modern society also captured the cities of Eastern Europe. The surviving fragments in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia bear witness to a determined will of form and a rich, skillful handling of color, material, and light. The third volume in this series, ''Fragment of Metropolis – East'' documents more than one hundred and fifty buildings throughout Eastern Europe, including works by Otto Bartning, Peter Behrens, Max Berg, and many others.

Résumé:
In the eighteenth century the Alps became the subject of a new view of nature, which crystallized in the sublime. Oscillating between fear and fascination, this sensual experience triggered a thrilling borderline experience: travelers ventured to the mountain world full of longing and projected a variety of different dreams onto the "wild nature" that had yet to be explored. To what extent has the sublime influenced architecture in the Alps, from the early days of tourism to the present? Prompted by this question, the author analyzes Alpine architecture in its historical context and offers a critical assessment of contemporary tourism. This is a book that inspires us to reflect on the future of building in the Alps and on our relationship with nature.

Résumé:
Kosovo’s Mitrovica is a divided city. The bridge separating the Serb North and the Albanian South is one of the emblematic sites in the ongoing dispute over Kosovo. Beneath this layer of ethno-political division and post-conflict reconstruction, however, lies the fascinating heritage of the city's rapid industrial and urban development under the Socialist Yugoslav ideological premises. "Layers of Time in the Urban Landscape" is a cooperative endeavor at the intersection of photography and history, aiming to document the overlaps in the socialist and post-conflict transformations of the city of Mitrovica.

Résumé:
Some of the world's leading architects are making their mark on Los Angeles's cityscape with exciting and innovative projects. Fifty of the most striking buildings are profiled in this book that features every type of architecture - houses, municipal structures, art museums, office buildings, performance spaces, and houses of worship. Some of the world's leading design firms, including Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Eric Owen Moss Architects, Selldorf Architects, and wHY Architecture, have contributed to the city's structural vernacular. While the projects here are as varied as the luminous Walt Disney Concert Hall by Gehry Partners and Bestor Architecture's compact housing development named "Blackbirds," each building embraces an unmistakably Californian aesthetic reimagined for a new century.
