Résumé:
This work presents numerous buildings of architectural significance against the background of general developments in architecture with reference to the works of over 200 architects. Although this book covers the whole of Finland in geographical terms, the main focus is on the Helsinki Metropolitan Region where construction was more active. Alongside public building activities, such as administrative buildings, churches, hospitals, traffic terminals, and sports, cultural and educational facilities, there are numerous examples of architecture for business and industry. Housing development is discussed from whole suburbs and sections of cities to individual apartment buildings and summer villas. Most of the colour photographs of this illustrated book belong to the photographer Simo Rista's significant collection of transparencies, which the Museum of Finnish Architecture acquired in 2005.

Résumé:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction(...)

Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction is followed by five thematic chapters: Public Realm, Community Spaces, On the Move, Compact Living, and Extra Space. The 53 case studies include a park bench that transforms into a shelter for the homeless in Australia, an inflatable treetop structure for rainforest observation, a portable house for victims of hurricane Katrina, a transportable church in Finland, and a suspended office in France.

Résumé:
''Adjusting the lens'' explores the role of photography in contemporary renegotiations of the past and in Indigenous art activism. In moving and powerful case studies, contributors analyze photographic practices and heritage related to Indigenous communities in Canada, Australia, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the United States. In the process, they call attention to how Indigenous people are using old photographs in new ways to empower themselves, revitalize community identity, and decolonize the colonial record. ''Adjusting the lens'' presents original research in this emerging field in Indigenous photography studies, juxtaposing the historical and the contemporary across a range of geographically and culturally distinctive contexts. The transnational perspective of this exciting collection challenges old ways of thinking and meaningfully advances the crucially important project of reclamation.

The study of historic preservation theory in the United States has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive anthology of literature spanning the history of thought in the discipline.

Résumé:
The study of historic preservation theory in the United States has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive anthology of literature spanning the history of thought in the discipline. While a few key texts such as Viollet-le-Duc's "On Restoration" (1854) and John Ruskin's "Lamp of Memory" (1849) have been reprinted ad infinitum, the enormous body of preservation knowledge produced since the Renaissance remains obscure to most American students, who until now have had no easy way to access it. This anthology offers classic texts from the United States, China, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and more, offering a broad introduction to the history of preservation theory.

Résumé:
Ce livre traite de la question des identités nationales entre 1860 et 1919. Cette époque, riche et contrastée pour l'histoire de l'Europe, est en même temps prémonitoire de la situation du continent aujourd'hui, ainsi que des espoirs, des angoisses et des incertitudes qui en résultent. C'est en effet le temps où chaque peuple rassemblant en son sein les moyens irrésistibles de développer et de nourrir une passion pour l'histoire nationale, l'essor éclatant des identités constitue les antagonismes qui débouchent sur la Première guerre mondiale. Ceux-ci préfigurent la désintégration de la carte européenne postérieure au traité de Versailles. Cette passion, qui touche tous les champs de l'histoire sociale, s'appuie sur les accomplissements nationaux déjà acquis auparavant, lors du premier XIXe siècle (1815-1860). Mais, contrairement à ces prémices cultuelles, marquées par l'essor des langues et des littératures le " second " XIXe siècle se caractérise par la floraison des architectures nationales, plus ou moins liées aux recherches de l'Art nouveau occidental et à la diffusion des Arts and Crafts britanniques. Il voit aussi, dans l'ordre politique, la montée des impérialismes, l'achèvement de l'unification italienne et allemande et le succès obtenu par plusieurs nations dans leur quête d'indépendance. Premier d'une série consacrée à la carte très disparate des identités européennes, cet ouvrage étudie quatre jeunes nations qui, en 1860, ne constituent pas des Etats, mais qui déploient toute leur créativité spirituelle, politique, diplomatique et artistique pour affirmer leur avenir. La Hongrie fait alors partie de l'Empire austro-hongrois, tandis que le Grand-Duché de Finlande appartient à la Russie. La Moldavie et la Valachie, dont naîtra plus tard la Roumanie, sont des principautés tributaires des Empires russe et ottoman. Intégrée au Royaume d'Espagne, la Catalogne se souvient, quant à elle, avoir été une grande nation prospère au Moyen Âge. Tout se passe comme si les nations d'Europe avaient convoqué leur riche passé - historique, mythologique ou imaginaire - pour mieux bâtir leur destin au cœur du continent. L'architecture et les projets urbains sont les lieux d'application privilégiés de ces quêtes. S'ils font office d'étendards, c'est parce que ces deux " arts " s'imposent au plus grand nombre et qu'ils modèlent les repères allégoriques et politiques des peuples. En somme, le paysage d'hier est l'emblème de l'Europe d'aujourd'hui.
