Abstract

Ce livre aborde l'histoire de l'architecture sous un angle original, en analysant les matériaux et les formes qui constituent les bâtiments, mais aussi en montrant comment les architectes, ingénieurs et constructeurs, ont aussi bien su répondre aux besoins de leurs contemporains qu'aux défis techniques. Cet ouvrage s'intéresse, par exemple, au toit, à la fenêtre ou au mur comme à des phénomènes universels qui ont évolué durant des milliers d'années. Il aborde cette évolution en décryptant le rôle de l'architecture d'un point de vue sociologique et industriel. Par l'étude d'éléments architecturaux essentiels, - les matériaux et les techniques, les fondations, les murs, portes, toitures, plafonds, fenêtres et ornements architecturaux -, et à travers leurs expressions dans les diverses cultures et au cours des différentes époques historiques, ce livre donne les clés des époques fondamentales de la construction des bâtiments, c'est-à-dire d'une grande partie de notre environnement. Pour ce faire, on trouvera tout au long de ces pages des reproductions en gros plans d'édifices et d'architectes parmi les plus marquants du monde. Un glossaire des termes de l'architecture et de ses principaux styles facilite la compréhension de termes quelque peu spécialisés. Avec plus de 500 photographies en couleur de bâtiments et nombre d'éléments analysés, ce livre témoigne de la créativité et de l'ingéniosité des architectes et des bâtisseurs tout au long des âges. Outre les détails typiques que les photographies permettent de remarquer, plus de 60 illustrations originales - schémas, coupes et dessins techniques - aident à visualiser les éléments architecturaux fondamentaux. On a ici affaire à un très beau livre, pédagogique et attrayant, référence indispensable à toute personne s'intéressant à l'architecture. (synopsis, www.citadelles-mazenod.com)

Abstract

"By moving beyond traditional aesthetic categories (beauty, the sublime, the religious), Eco-Aesthetics takes an inter-disciplinary approach bridging the arts, humanities and social sciences and explores what aesthetics might mean in the 21st century. It is one in a series of new, radical aesthetics promoting debate, confronting convention and formulating alternative ways of thinking about art practice. There is no doubt that the social and environmental spheres are interconnected but can art and artists really make a difference to the global environmental crisis? Can art practice meaningfully contribute to the development of sustainable lifestyles? Malcolm Miles explores the strands of eco-art, eco-aesthetics and contemporary aesthetic theories, offering timely critiques of consumerism and globalisation and, ultimately, offers a possible formulation of an engaged eco-aesthetic for the early 21st century"-- "An introduction to a radical new aesthetic theory drawing upon both contemporary theory and art practice"--

Abstract

In many cities across the world, particularly in Europe, old buildings form a prominent part of the built environment, and we often take it for granted that their contribution is intrinsically positive. How has that widely-shared belief come about, and is its continued general acceptance inevitable?Certainly, ancient structures have long been treated with care and reverence in many societies, including classical Rome and Greece. But only in modern Europe and America, in the last two centuries, has this care been elaborated and energised into a forceful, dynamic ideology: a ‘Conservation Movement’, infused with a sense of historical destiny and loss, that paradoxically shared many of the characteristics of Enlightenment modernity. The close inter-relationship between conservation and modern civilisation was most dramatically heightened in periods of war or social upheaval, beginning with the French Revolution, and rising to a tragic climax in the 20th-century age of totalitarian extremism; more recently the troubled relationship of ‘heritage’ and global commercialism has become dominant.Miles Glendinning’s new book authoritatively presents, for the first time, the entire history of this architectural Conservation Movement, and traces its dramatic fluctuations in ideas and popularity, ending by questioning whether its recent international ascendancy can last indefinitely.
