Summary:
Ce livre examine habilement l'équilibre entre la notion de postérité et l'aspect pratique en architecture au cours de l'histoire. Des pyramide de l'Égypte ancienne à l'Opéra de Sydney jusqu'au cottage traditionnel, l'architecture offre des contrastes frappants et une dimension culturelle non-négligeable. Au-delà de la présentation des périodes et des styles distincts tels que «baroque» ou «moderne», Andrew Ballantyne explore la signification économique, politique et esthétique des objets architecturaux tout en relevant comment l'architecture prend tout son sens à la lumière de la tradition et comment elle contribue à faire de nous les êtres que nous sommes.

Summary:
The work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari has been inspirational for architects and architectural theorists in recent years. It has influenced the design work of architects as diverse as Greg Lynn and David Chipperfield, and is regularly cited by avant-gardist architects and by students, but usually without being well understood. The first collaboration between Deleuze and Guattari was Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, which was taken up as a manifesto for the post-structuralist life, and was associated with the spirit of the student revolts of 1968. Their ideas promote creativity and innovation, and their work is wide-ranging, complex and endlessly stimulating. They range across politics, psychoanalysis, physics, art and literature, changing preconceptions along the way. Deleuze & Guattari for Architects is a perfect introduction for students of architecture in design studio at all levels, students of architecture pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in architectural theory, academics and interested architectural practitioners.

This book helps us to understand the cultural significance of the buildings that surround us. It avoids the traditional style-spotting approach in favour of giving an idea of what it is about buildings that moves us, and what it is that makes them important artistically and culturally.

Summary:
Presenting a collection of exploratory ideas, this book offers an understanding of buildings, people and settlements through concepts of flow. Flows make buildings work; indeed flows make things in general work, including settlements, machines and people. In recent years there has been a huge growth in interest in various aspects of fluidity in architecture and urban planning. This book addresses this rising topic and the interest in processes that flow across traditional boundaries from the person to the building, from the sense of self to the settlement, from economics to identity.
