Summary:
Brazil's architecture is strikingly distinct from Latin America as a whole and diverse in itself. Yet coverage of the architecture of twentieth-century Brazil is all too often confined to the work of one man (Oscar Niemeyer) or the buildings of two cities (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo). In Brazil's Modern Architecture, a new generation of Brazilian cities and historians(...)

Summary:
"Africas: The Artist and the City" contains a double affirmation. It corroborates the existence of an "other" urban and artistic reality in Africa, and it asserts that these realities do not correspond with what stereotypes would have us see as Africa's sole reality. In the words of Pep Subiros, we should talk not of Africa but of Africas. Yet until now, there has been(...)

Summary:

It corroborates the existence of an "other" urban and artistic reality in Africa, and it asserts that these realities do not correspond with what stereotypes would have us see as Africa's sole reality. In the words of Pep Subiros, we should talk not of Africa but of Africas. Yet until now, there has been little said about the Africas depicted here, about urban centers like Dakar, Cape Town, and Abidjan that are undergoing urbanization and growth at breakneck speed. And what of the work of artists based in these cities? "Africas: The Artist and the City" aims to illustrate a moment in which a fertile collision is taking place between tradition and modernity, between the local and the global--and to introduce the settings where this confluence is taking place.

D’où cet ouvrage qui explore, au-delà de l’étude de l’hydraulique arabe, la découverte des hydrauliciens eux-mêmes et l’Ecole arabe de l’eau à laquelle ils appartiennent. Cet ouvrage a également pour but d’œuvrer à la sauvegarde du patrimoine hydraulique par la création d’un musée de l’Eau où seraient exposées quelques-unes des réalisations du génie hydraulique arabe. Ainsi, ce lieu deviendrait espace de réflexion et source d’inspiration pour les jeunes ingénieurs et un large public.

Summary:
The history of the book in Tibet involves more than literary trends and trade routes. Functioning as material, intellectual, and symbolic object, the book has been an instrumental tool in the construction of Tibetan power and authority, and its history opens a crucial window onto the cultural, intellectual, and economic life of an immensely influential Buddhist society.Spanning the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries, Kurtis R. Schaeffer envisions the scholars and hermits, madmen and ministers, kings and queens who produced Tibet's massive canons. He describes how Tibetan scholars edited and printed works of religion, literature, art, and science and what this indicates about the interrelation of material and cultural practices. The Tibetan book is at once the embodiment of the Buddha's voice, a principal means of education, a source of tradition and authority, an economic product, a finely crafted aesthetic object, a medium of Buddhist written culture, and a symbol of the religion itself.

Summary:
"Walls of Algiers" examines the historical processes that transformed Ottoman Algiers, the 'Bulwark of Islam', into 'Alger la blanche', the colonial urban showpiece - and, after the outbreak of revolution in 1954 - counter-model of France's global empire. In this volume, the city of Algiers serves as a case study for the analysis of the proactive and reactive social, political, technical, and artistic forces that generate a city's form. Visual sources - prints, photographs, paintings, architectural drawings, urban designs, and film - are treated as primary evidence that complements and even challenges textual documents.
