Summary:
Designated by King George V to replace Calcutta as capital of British India, New Delhi was constructed between 1912 and 1929 under the eye of architect Sir Edward Lutyens who sought to bring to this British colony a sense of classicism, order, and institutional beauty. With more than 300 colour and black and white illustrations, plans and photographs, this book presents the most comprehensive examination to date of how this city was envisioned, planned, and constructed. From the massive war memorial arch and resplendent sandstone and marble government house to the spacious gardens and the gloriously imposing Viceroy's House, the evidence of Lutyen’s architectural genius is everywhere throughout New Delhi. As architectural historian Andreas Volwahsen discusses the importance of Lutyen’s work he provides a fascinating account of the making of a city: the contentious debates and cultural considerations, the inspiration and the painstaking construction, and finally the ways in which New Delhi has evolved into a modern city. With the growing interest in the preservation of historic sights worldwide, this magnificently detailed yet highly accessible history is certain to become a classic in the fields of architecture and urban design.

Summary:
Dès la conquête, les occupants ibériques, espagnols d'abord, portugais ensuite, ont développé une stratégie de création de villes dans les somptueux paysages latino-américains. Localisation, fondation, urbanisme, architecture et peuplement, rien ne fut laissé au hasard. Que ce soit dans les sites vierges ou sur les emplacements des anciennes cités précolombiennes, règlements, lois et théories étaient à l'œuvre sous la férule des dirigeants pour assurer le pouvoir de Dieu et du Roi pour le bien des colons et des indigènes. Les échanges et influences réciproques entre l' « ancien » et le « nouveau » monde vont jusqu'à nos jours transformer utopies et réalités dans un fantastique laboratoire grandeur nature. La plus récente expérience en fut la modernité, courant international qui permit aux latino-américains, par son application locale, de s'inventer une identité contemporaine. Sous la direction de Jean-François Lejeune, des spécialistes américains et européens explorent cinq siècles de vies et de villes.
