Paris Haussmann
First published in 2017 in conjunction with an exhibition at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in Paris, this widely praised and still much sought-after book becomes available again in a new edition. It offers an analytical review from today's perspective of the French capital's profound transformation during the late nineteenth century under the direction of Georges Eugène Baron Haussmann. Paris Haussmann: A Model's Relevance explores and analyzes the characteristics of Paris's homogenous yet fluid cityscape, the result of a lengthy process of changes and evolutions, even in recent times. Research was conducted at all levels to classify and compare roadways, identify public spaces, and organize the blocks and buildings according to their current geometry. For the first time, the qualities of the Haussmann model have been set forth to show how they grapple with the same challenges that contemporary cities face. Topical essays feature alongside rich illustrative material, comprising photographs by celebrated photographer Cyrille Weiner, site plans and maps, floor plans and sections, axonometric projections, and various graphics.
Traces
The city is the point of departure and arrival for the "architectural experience." It is, therefore, a palpable, external fact as well as a product of the mind, an abstraction. This book attempts to recreate this trajectory and to describe this exchange between the mind and the world through the traces it has produced. Two separate moments lie at the heart of this book's very structure and shape: one when the city is the site of an experience and of reflection and the other, when architects modify this site through a new project. The white notebooks contain writings, reflections, and observations collected over a ten-year period about our urban experiences. In fact, they hold the names of the cities that gave rise to them. These notes were often written during our travels, on the occasion of conferences or projects. Very importantly, though, they do not aspire to certainty; rather, they are a collection of questions and hypotheses. The black notebooks instead seek to delineate the scope of our research and to describe architecture as we practice it, namely as a collaborative effort, where each person's ideas and experiences form part of our shared vision and designs.
Traces
La ville est le point de départ et d'arrivée de l'architecture : elle est fait et abstraction, extériorité tangible et pur produit de l'esprit. Pour comprendre les villes, il faut parcourir le chemin entre ces réalités disjointes. Ce livre souhaite restituer cette trajectoire et la décrire au travers des traces qu'elle a produites. Les deux temps distincts, de la ville, lorsqu'elle est la scène d'un vécu - et donc d'une réflexion -, et lorsque l'architecte modifie cette scène avec un nouveau projet, sont au fondement de la structure de ce livre et de sa forme. Les cahiers blancs sont des recueils d'écrits, réflexions, observations, le fruit de dix années d'expériences urbaines...
Paris Haussmann
In the 19th century, Paris underwent profound transformations above and below ground, from the city center to its outskirts. Georges Eugène Haussmann, Prefect of the Seine from 1853 to 1870, embodies this entire century of public works that continue to shape the city's organization and identity. Paris Haussmann explores and analyzes the characteristics of this homogenous yet polymorphous cityscape, the result of a lengthy process of changes and evolutions, even in recent times. Research was conducted at all levels to classify and compare roadways, identify public spaces, and organize the blocks and buildings according to their current geometry. For the first time, the qualities of the Haussmann model have been set forth to show how they grapple with the challenges that contemporary cities face. Rich illustrative material, photographs, various plans and maps, floor plans and sections, axonometric projections, diagrams and other graphics, and statistical analyzes complement topical essays. The book is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in Paris in spring 2017.
Napoli Super Modern
This richly illustrated book is a monument to modern urban construction in Naples. It features some fifty new photos by celebrated French photographer Cyrille Weiner as well as historic images and drawings of important architectonic details, and an atlas of eighteen significant buildings dating from 1930-1960 illustrated with site and floor plans, elevations, and sections. It reveals how this southern Italian metropolis developed its own form of modernism, one that combined Mediterranean culture with local materials and a strong internationalist spirit. The topical essays and concise descriptions of the documented buildings, together with the lavish illustrations make for a hugely attractive and lively portrait of Naples. This fascinating city is both famous and infamous--but its qualities and individuality in terms of architecture and urban development really should be better known.
best of Detail: Wohnen/Housing
Wohnen ist individuell: Jeder hat andere Vorstellungen und Wünsche vom Wohnen und durch die Art zu Wohnen äußert sich sein Lebensstil. Wohnen heißt „zuhause“ sein, wo man sich im Idealfall wohlfühlt. Zum Thema Wohnen existieren zahlreiche Studien über Standards, Entwicklungen und Trends, die die Bedürfnisse von Menschen analysieren und vergleichen. Mit den Bedürfnissen aber wandeln sich im Laufe der Jahre auch die Standards und Trends. Und auch der globale und demografische Wandel unserer Gesellschaft ändert die Wohnformen, Flexibilität wird zu einem maßgeblichen Kriterium. Zum Thema Wohnen gehört aber auch die Einbindung in die Umgebung. Insbesondere in Städten leben viele ...
Welcome to Saint-Mesmes
Dans ce nouveau livre les architectes Umberto Napolitano et Benoît Jallon nous invitent à découvrir un processus complet de création d'un bâtiment. La société italienne Marchesini leur a confié la réalisation de son nouveau siège social à Saint-Mesmes, dans le département du Val-de-Marne. Livré en 2008, ce nouveau bâtiment de bureaux a été pensé en fonction de son site et de sa morphologie : un dénivelé de trois mètres qui lui confère un panorama exceptionnel. Le projet propose de concevoir et d'organiser les espaces de travail en estompant les limites entre les diverses activités : tout espace est autant lieu de production que d'échanges, il n'y a plus réellement de couloirs, mais des espaces mixtes associant distributions, espaces d'attente, et salons de travail. L'enjeu du projet est d'assurer des conditions de travail optimales, dans un cadre exceptionnel de qualité architecturale et de lumière.
Ecologies of Imperialism in Algeria
