Où en est-on avec la tectonique? Qui porte, que comporte le terme? Après un long sommeil de plus d'un siècle, dans les écrits érudits de théoriciens allemands, le terme a pris une soudaine amplitude sous l'égide de Kenneth Frampton: la focalisation moderne sur la pensée de l'espace et de la forme ne doit pas faire oublier que les architectes marquants du 20e siècle ont déployé une poétique de la construction et de la matérialité. La tectonique s'offre aujourd'hui comme une façon d'interroger le dialogue culturel entre conception et construction. Cet ouvrage rassemble des contributions d'architectes, d'artistes, d'historiens, de philosophes et de pédagogues autour du projet tectonique dont ils tirent une quintessence troublante et enrichissante: la fonction constructive est aussi une fiction constructive. Ce premier volume issu des Grands Ateliers se veut également l'acte inaugural d'une production durable relative aux questionnements engendrés par la rencontre, encore peu sensible il y a dix ans, entre l'art de construire -qui appartient à un secteur de production encore traditionnel -et les nouvelles technologies de conception et de communication.

This fascinating interdisciplinary study reveals connections between architecture, cosmology, and mysticism. Samer Akkach demonstrates how space ordering in premodern Islamic architecture reflects the transcendental and the sublime. The book features many new translations, a number from unpublished sources, and several illustrations.Referencing a wide range of mystical texts, and with a special focus on the works of the great Sufi master Ibn Arabi, Akkach introduces a notion of spatial sensibility that is shaped by religious conceptions of time and space. Religious beliefs about the cosmos, geography, the human body, and constructed forms are all underpinned by a consistent spatial sensibility anchored in medieval geocentrism. Within this geometrically defined and ordered universe, nothing stands in isolation or ambiguity; everything is interrelated and carefully positioned in an intricate hierarchy. Through detailed mapping of this intricate order, the book shows the significance of this mode of seeing the world for those who lived in the premodern Islamic era and how cosmological ideas became manifest in the buildings and spaces of their everyday lives. This is a highly original work that provides important insights on Islamic aesthetics and culture, on the history of architecture, and on the relationship of art and religion, creativity and spirituality.

"First published in Germany in 1951, and now finally available in English, Gunter Bandmann's classic Early Architecture as Bearer of Meaning has had a tremendous influence on architectural and medieval historians. Breaking away from the positivistic approaches dominant at the time, Bandmann moved beyond purely aesthetic interpretations to consider the religious, political, and sociological factors that shaped the development and reception of medieval architecture." "Looking at a range of buildings and churches throughout Europe and offering detailed analyses, Bandmann discusses sources for structural elements and forms and follows their development, combinations, flowerings, and fading."--Jacket.
