Abstract

Over recent decades, many museums, galleries and historic sites around the world have enjoyed an unprecedented level of large-scale investment in their capital infrastructure, in building refurbishments and new gallery displays. This period has also seen the creation of countless new purpose-built museums and galleries, suggesting a fundamental re-evaluation of the processes of designing and shaping of museums.Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions examines this re-making by exploring the inherently spatial character of narrative in the museum and its potentia

Abstract

What if the house you are about to enter was built with the confessed purpose of seducing you, of creating various sensations destined to touch your soul and make you reflect on who you are? Could architecture have such power? Generations of architects at the beginning of modernity assumed it could. From the mid-eighteenth century onwards, architects believed that the aim of architecture was to communicate the character and social status of the client or to express the destination and purpose of a building. Architecture in Words explores the role of architecture as an expressive language through the transforming notion of character theory and looks at the theatre as a model for creating sensuous spaces in architecture. Since the beginning of the eighteenth century, the theatre was more than simply a form of entertainment; it changed how individuals related to one another in society. Acting was no longer restricted to the performing stage in theatres; it became a way to conduct oneself in society.Such transformations had obvious architectural repercussions in the design of theatres, but also in the configuration of the public and private domains. The succession of spaces, the careful crafting of lighting effects and the expressive role of architectural features were all influenced by parallel developments in the theatre. Pelletier examines the role of theatre and fiction in defining the notion of character in eighteenth century architecture. It suggests that while usually ignored by instrumental applications, character constitutes an important precedent for restoring the communicative dimension of contemporary architecture.

Abstract

Cette publication est le résultat d'un atelier qui a consisté à conduire une recherche éditoriale et à mener diverses expérimentations, afin de restituer les interventions des invités, historiens et théoriciens de l'architecture, de l'art ou de l'écriture. L'Atelier s'est appuyé sur des constats simples et riches. Typographie et architecture entretiennent depuis toujours, dans l'espace du livre ou dans l'espace urbain, à l'échelle de la page, du monument ou de la ville, des relations étroites : modèle architectural pour la mise en forme du texte et le dessin de la lettre, ou modèle typographique pour l'épigraphie, invention et diffusion des formes architecturales par des moyens graphiques, ou encore concurrence symbolique entre l'écrit et le bâti dans la sphère publique. Ce terrain extrêmement riche permet d'explorer différents enjeux de la pratique du design graphique en les reliant aux problématiques esthétiques, anthropologiques et politiques développées par la théorie architecturale et urbaine, renouant ainsi le lien historique entre ces deux domaines qui furent, de la Renaissance aux Avant-gardes du XXe siècle, souvent considérés comme analogues, et qui donnèrent lieu parfois à des pratiques conjointes.
