Résumé:
En portant un regard appuyé sur le devenir des bâtiments hospitaliers, cet ouvrage choisit de privilégier une approche dynamique d’un patrimoine en perpétuelle évolution. Au travers d’une trentaine de monographies largement illustrées, cet ouvrage inscrit l’hôpital dans sa relation au monde social, politique, médical et économique. Maladrerie, hospice, Hôtel-Dieu, charité, hôpital général, asile, lazaret, clinique, sanatorium, centre héliomarin ou centre hospitalier, tous ces lieux portent en eux la fonction vitale de l’hôpital. Dans un large tour de France, mêlant des présentations d’hôpitaux en activité et de bâtiments réaffectés, il invite le lecteur à prendre conscience de la fragilité d’un patrimoine peu connu, de plus en plus menacé, qui peine à se moderniser. Après l’abandon des hôpitaux médiévaux, la transformation des hôpitaux généraux, pointe désormais la disparition des hôpitaux pavillonnaires. Que faire alors d’un patrimoine de qualité qui ne remplit plus ses fonctions ? Le reconvertir à des fins publiques, le remettre sur le marché ou le démolir et reconstruire la ville sur elle-même ?

Résumé:
In this provocative collection of essays, films as diverse as "The Man with a Movie Camera", "Annie Hall", "Street of Crocodiles", "Boyz N the Hood", "Three Colors Red", and "Crash" are examined in terms of the relationship between cinema and the changing urban experience in Europe and the United States since the early twentieth century. Peter Jelavich, for example, links the suppression of the creative, liberal Weimar Berlin in the 1931 film "Berlin Alexanderplatz" to the rise of the Nazi regime and the end of one of the great eras of modernist experimentation in German visual culture; Jessie Labov considers Kieslowski’s treatment of the Warsaw housing blok in "Dekalog" in terms of Solidarity’s strategy of resisting totalitarianism in 1980's Poland; Allan Siegel examines the motif of the city in a broad range of American and international cinema to demonstrate how film and society since the 1960's have been driven by the fading of mass political radicalism and the triumph of privatization and capital; Paula Massood uses the socially illuminating theories of Mikhail Bakhtin to examine the representation of the ghetto and urban underclass in recent African-American films such as "Menace II Society"; and Matthew Gandy examines the focus on disease in Todd Haynes’s "[Safe]" as a metaphor for social and spatial breakdown in contemporary Los Angeles.

Résumé:
Ed Ruscha is one of the first Americans to introduce a critique of popular culture and an examination of language into the visual arts. Although he first made his reputation as a painter, Ruscha is also celebrated for his drawings (made both with conventional materials and with food, blood, gunpowder, and shellac), prints, films, photographs, and books. He is often associated with Los Angeles as a Pop and Conceptualist hub, but tends to regard such labels with a satirical, if not jaundiced, eye. Indeed, his work is characterized by the tensions between high and low, solemn and irreverent, and serious and nonsensical, and it draws on popular culture as well as Western art traditions. "Leave Any Information at the Signal" not only documents the work of this influential artist as he rose to prominence but also contains his writings and commentaries on other artistic developments of the period. The book is divided into three parts, each of which is arranged chronologically. Part one contains statements, letters, and other writings. Part two consists of more than fifty interviews, some of which have never before been published or translated into English. Part three contains sketchbook pages, word groupings, and other notes that chart how Ruscha develops ideas and solves artistic problems. They are published here for the first time. The book also contains more than eighty illustrations, selected and arranged by the artist.

Résumé:
This new edition of the classic text that has become a standard in architecture curricula gives students in-depth understanding and insight for improving architectural working drawings through the integration of traditional guidelines, standards, and fundamentals with today's CAD operations. Ralph Liebing uses detailed coverage to emphasize the importance of learning the basics first, while encouraging mastery and application of a broad array of techniques and procedures. "Architectural working drawings, fourth edition" provides clear explanations of why these drawings are required, what they must contain to be relevant, the importance of understanding drawing intent and content, and how to combine individual drawings into meaningful and construction-ready sets. Using hundreds of real-world examples from a geographically diverse base, this book covers everything from site plans, floor plans, and interior and exterior elevations to wiring schematics, plumbing specifications, and miscellaneous details. Nearly 500 illustrations provide examples of the best and the worst in architectural working drawings. This fourth edition contains a wealth of new and updated material, including a new chapter of CAD case studies as well as substantially increased and integrated CAD coverage throughout the book, new drawing coordination systems from the Construction Specifications Institute and AIA, a new chapter on the coordination of working drawings and specificationS, and more than 140 new illustrations reflecting the methods for improving CAD drawings.

Résumé:
Minimalist is a term used by the media frequently, and often incorrectly, in a wide variety of contexts these days. In the opening chapters Franco Bertoni traces the origins and development of minimalism: from religious asceticism, through 18th century rationalism to the various current schools and modes. This introduction provides a necessary and well-founded guide to the concept of simplicity, of minimalism in design, photography, theatre, music and literature. 22 renowned designers such as Tadao Ando, Giorgio Armani, Michael Gabellini, Konstantin Grcic, Donald Judd, Calvin Klein, Issey Miyake, Jean Nouvel, Claudio Silvestrin, Eduardo Souto de Moura and Hannes Wettstein are portrayed in the main section, each with a concise biography, bibliography and particulars of their work.
