Résumé:
"Built futures" brings together Shahed Saleem’s written and visual research on the British Mosque, to narrate how mosques have emerged, evolved and become established in Britain since the late nineteenth century. Critical texts describe the ways in which mosques have been created through the grassroots, self-funded and self-built endeavours of migrant Muslim communities of diverse backgrounds, as they have settled in Britain. Through this journey of research, writing and designing, Saleem challenges the norms and assumptions of his own architectural training and wider design culture, leading him to ask: where is architectural meaning made, and with whom does authorship actually reside? Mostly created through the adaptation of existing buildings, from pubs to cinemas, high street banks to domestic terraces, the mosques which emerge from these sites are a combination of cultural histories and architectural styles, resulting in unexpected and original buildings that are powerful expressions of minority community agency and empowerment.

Résumé:
L’architecture qui incarne l’Europe est inextricablement liée à des enjeux politiques mouvants et à la recherche d’une expression symbolique unitaire. Mais existe-t-il une esthétique propre aux formes bâties du pouvoir européen? En reconstruisant minutieusement la genèse des sièges européens de Strasbourg, Luxembourg et Bruxelles, Gauthier Bolle explore les liens entre architecture, ville et pouvoir au fil du second 20e siècle. Ce livre éclaire ainsi un pan du «projet européen» à travers l’analyse de l’accueil offert aux principales institutions, celles du Conseil de l’Europe puis de toutes les communautés fondatrices de l’Union européenne. Dans les villes étudiées, la fragilité de la construction européenne pèse sur le développement des quartiers, plus ou moins intégrés à leur environnement, qui prennent forme grâce à une diversité d’acteurs. Articulé en trois périodes, ce récit propose une lecture transversale des sites, mettant en évidence les rouages complexes de la conception, construction et réception de plusieurs édifices phares des trois villes. En creux de cette étude architecturale, c’est bien la quête du sens même de l’Europe qui est en question, un enjeu dont la portée est plus cruciale que jamais.

Résumé:
Longtemps rattachée aux Beaux-Arts, l’architecture, d’abord simple section, est devenue au xxe siècle une discipline autonome — et majeure — du paysage français de l’enseignement supérieur. À Marseille, l’engouement des étudiants pour l’architecture avait très tôt révélé l’exiguïté des locaux en centre ville du palais Carli, réservé depuis le xixe siècle aux classes d’art. De projets de déménagement en perspectives d’extension, aucune solution satisfaisante ne sera trouvée avant le tournant historique de l’implantation de l’École d’architecture à Luminy, en 1967. En même temps que ceux de l’École des beaux-arts, ses bâtiments couleur craie prendront place dans le somptueux cadre naturel des calanques de Marseille. Conçus par l’architecte du campus René Egger dans un style à la fois moderne et méditerranéen, ils seront dès leur inauguration le lieu d’une véritable ébullition culturelle, artistique et estudiantine.

Résumé:
London has been rebuilt and reshaped perhaps more than any other city over its two-millennia history. From the construction of the Underground to slum clearance and the Blitz, buildings have long been damaged or demolished to pave way for the new. Today, demolition is big business, and around 3500 buildings are destroyed each year, most of which are social housing. Paul Knox traces the history of London from the Great Fire to the present day through twenty-five lost buildings. Knox explores surprising and unusual locations in the city’s history, like the Necropolis Station in Waterloo used by funeral parties traveling to a burial ground in Surrey. We see historic landmarks, like Christ Church Greyfriars and the Crystal Palace, as well as everyday places like the White Horse pub in Poplar and a housing estate in Hackney.

Résumé:
Rome, the"Eternal City", is a unique palimpsest dating back to Antiquity. However, beyond the historic center built over millennia on the famous seven hills - another Rome exists, one of large and often stunning modern neighborhoods, housing estates, schools, and public buildings. When Rome became Italy's capital in 1871, the population increased extensively and the city exceeded its boundaries since Roman times, the Aurelian Walls. This extraordinary transformation laid the foundation for many new quarters built to accommodate civil servants and rural migrants, drawing on vernacular and ancient Roman traditions and blending past and present. This book looks at Rome's evolution and architecture from the 19th century onwards.
