L’Architecture du monde soutient que l’architecture a depuis toujours servi à interpréter l’expérience humaine, à connaître le cosmos, l’ordre, la structure du monde. Ce livre est construit sous la forme d’une pérégrination : le parcours à travers les villes matérialise l’expérience du monde. Le voyage nous mène vers la Chine et l’Inde anciennes, mais aussi dans la Rome antique, dans la ville médiévale, à Jérusalem. D’étonnantes ressemblances se font jour : une seule et même Architecture, dans les civilisations les plus différentes. L’Architecture du monde éclaire les effets ambivalents de la ville moderne sur la vision que les contemporains ont d’eux-mêmes et de la réalité. L’ouvrage dénonce la croyance trompeuse dans la capacité humaine à « créer des mondes », en montrant les conséquences désastreuses que cette croyance a eues sur l’architecture de la ville. L’Architecture du monde s’achève sur une théorie de la politique envisagée comme théorie de l’espace urbain. Car dans la forme de la ville, c’est le sens même de la politique – le sens social de l’existence humaine – qui prend forme spatiale. La polis est au commencement. À travers elle, les hommes construisent leur monde.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and its Eastern European bloc, the reunification of Germany was a major episode in the history of modern Europe - and one widely held to have been opposed by that country's centuries-old enemy, France. But while it has been previously believed that French President François Mitterrand played a negative role in events leading up to reunification, this book shows that Mitterrand's main concern was not the potential threat of an old nemesis but rather that a reunified Germany be firmly anchored in a unified Europe. Updated with a new introduction and other materials, the book blends primary research and interviews with key actors in France and Germany to take readers behind the scenes of world governments as a new Europe was formed. Tilo Schabert had unprecedented, exclusive access to French presidential archives and here focuses on French diplomacy not only to dispel the notion that Mitterrand was reluctant to accept reunification but also to show how successful he was in bringing it about. Tilo Schabert is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Erlangen, Germany. He also taught at the Universities of Munich, Stanford, Bochum, Trier and Dresden, and was Research Fellow at Stanford, Harvard and the Australian National University, as well as Senior Heisenberg Research Fellow at the German Research Council. Schabert was Visiting Professor in Lisbon, Perpignan, Paris, Rennes, Salerno, Naples and Beijing.
