Abstract

Cet ouvrage présente un état inédit de la recherche en histoire de la construction par 230 auteurs de toutes les nationalités. L'ouvrage bâti est fouillé, par toutes les cultures, des fondations aux charpentes par les archéologues, les archivistes et les historiens. Ils sont tous là : maçons, charpentiers, serruriers, couvreurs, dessinateurs, architectes, ingénieurs, entrepreneurs, conservateurs, promoteurs, inspecteurs, experts, économistes, juristes. Des hommes et des femmes célèbres et oubliés, des institutions, des entreprises, des forces de travail, des techniciens. Des siècles d'histoire bâtie, mesurée, calculée, élevée, vécue, ruinée, industrialisée, individualisée, autour de 3 piliers : les savoirs, les hommes et les objets. Les méthodes et outils s'améliorent pour échafauder de nouvelles problématiques historiques et techniques : l'énergétique, la prévention des risques naturels et technologiques, le recyclage des matériaux, la diffusion et le transfert des savoirs en situation coloniale, le rôle du droit et de l'économie, les gestes des artisans, la gestion du chantier par une main-d'œuvre organisée et immigrée, la responsabilité des grandes entreprises dans l'industrialisation du bâtiment... Près de 2 000 pages en trois volumes pour douze millénaires : un défi monumental à la hauteur d'une recherche constructive.

Furthermore, papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics, historical periods and different regions of the globe, opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus, the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. Therefore, History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work to expand our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures, from ancient times to our century and all over the world.
