Il s’agit d’une véritable étude de la société italienne et romaine au XVIIIe siècle qui, sur bien des points, fait encore autorité aujourd’hui. Fils d’un tailleur de pierre vénitien, Giovanni-Battista Piranesi reçut une formation d’architecte. Passionné par l’antiquité romaine, il accompagna, alors âgé de vingt ans, l’ambassadeur de Venise auprès du Saint-Siège à Rome. Il put alors satisfaire à loisir sa passion et parfaire sa formation auprès des maîtres romains. Lors de ce séjour, il s’initia à la gravure, art qu’il pratiqua sa vie durant, gravant des vues de Rome où les ruines antiques sont omniprésentes. Sa formation d’architecte et son œil passionné d’amateur d’antiquités offrent à notre regard ébahi une profusion d’œuvres qu’il publia dans plusieurs recueils. Ses talents d’architecte furent peu sollicités. C’est principalement la famille des Rezzonico, Vénitiens comme lui et dont fut issu le pape Clément XIII, qui lui permit d’exercer sa profession. Il fut notamment l’architecte de la restauration du prieuré des chevaliers de Malte à Rome et de son église, Sainte-Marie-Aventine.

Summary:
What separates good architecture from great architecture? The difference lies in the details. The way an architect chooses to treat architectural detailingscreens and walls, doors and windows, roofs, bridges, and stairscan transform the merely ordinary into the extraordinary. Detail in Process, the second volume in the new AsBuilt series, features twenty-five awe-inspiring projects characterized by an unusual synthesis of aesthetics and materials: the sunshade at Morphosis's Student Recreation Center in Cincinnati; the embossed and perforated copper skin of Herzog & de Meuron's de Young Museum in San Francisco; the handrails at Miró Rivera Architects', Lake Austin Footbridge in Austin; the stairs at Heatherwick Studios', Longchamps Store in New York City; plus twenty more. Editors Christine Killory and René Davids have collected the best work of the past two years including new buildings by some of today's most daring and detail-obsessed architects, including Norman Foster, James Carpenter, John Ronan, Renzo Piano, Marmol Radziner, Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, Jean Nouvel, David Chipperfield, and SANAA. Comprehensively documented, Detail in Process includes the plans, details, and large-scale sections needed to appreciate the innovative ways these architects have responded to complicated design problems.

Summary:
The spread of Renaissance culture in England coincided with the birth of the profession of architecture, whose practitioners soon became superior to simple builders in social standing and perceived intellectual prowess. This book, which focuses in particular on the scientist, mathematician, and architect Sir Christopher Wren, explores the extent to which this new professional identity was based on expertise in the mathematical arts and sciences. Featuring drawings, instruments, paintings, and other examples of the material culture of English architecture, the book discusses the role of mathematics in architectural design and building technology. It begins with architectural drawing in the 16th century, moves to large-scale technical drawing under Henry VIII, considers Inigo Jones and his royal buildings and Christopher Wren and the dome of St. Paul’s, and concludes with the architectural education of George III. Interweaving text and visual image, the book investigates the boundaries between art and science in architecture—the most artistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the arts.

One the greatest architectural artists of all time, and certainly the most famous copper engraver of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is most known for his series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri d'Invenzione.

In his own day, he was most celebrated for his Vedute, 137 etchings of ancient and modern Rome; so renowned were these startling and dramatic chiaroscuro images, imbued with Piranesi's romantic feeling for archaeological ruins, that they formed the mental picture of Rome for generations after. Indeed, Piranesi could be said to have shaped a whole strain of contemporary architecture, as well as the wider visualization of antiquity itself. In our time, he has had a direct influence on writers such as Borges and Kafka and on filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Greenaway. Anyone who contemplates Piranesi's etchings will confront the existential nightmare of human existence and its infinite mysteries.

Summary:
366 cartograms cover a vast array of subjects, providing a definitive reference on how regions and countries compare in resources, production, consumption, and more. Advances in technology have made widespread and detailed data gathering easier, resulting in a deluge of statistics on subjects as diverse as literacy rates, military spending, overweight children, television viewing figures, and endangered species. But how do we represent and compare data from one part of the world to another in a useful way? Here, sophisticated software combined with comprehensive analysis of every aspect of life represents the world as it really is. Digitally modified maps depict the areas and countries of the world not by their physical size but by their demographic importance on a vast range of topics. The rainforests of South America, with thirty percent of the world's fresh water, make the continent balloon in an analysis of water resources, whereas Kuwait, dependent on desalinated seawater, disappears from the map. Fuel use, alcohol consumption, population, malaria: here are hundreds of key indicators to the way we live. This innovative and exceptionally accessible reference work will be an indispensable tool for journalists, economists, marketers, politicians, financiers, environmentalists, and scholars. Its cartograms are augmented by graphs, tables, and full commentaries. 366 color maps. About the Author Daniel Dorling is Professor of Human Geography at the University of Sheffield, England. Mark Newman is Assistant Professor of Physics and Complex Systems at the University of Michigan. Anna Barford is a Research Associate at the University of Sheffield.

Taking a post-digital perspective, the sixty renowned architects whose work is collected here show how drawing and new forms of manual presentation have been refined since the reawakening of this basic technique. Notepads, stacks of paper, pencils and fine-point pens are as present in the architect's studio as phalanxes of screens. Revealing why and how hand-drawing still matters, this global survey presents the freehand drawings, vibrant watercolours and abstract impressions of rising talents and well-known names, including Jun Igarashi and Brian MacKay-Lyons.

Summary:
For decades, Philip Ashforth Coppola has meticulously documented the New York City subway in a series of extraordinary drawings, detailing the terracotta mosaics, faience, and tile patterns that millions of riders pass by every day. Coppola's drawings are what "Hyperallergic" calls "the most encyclopedic history of the art and architecture of the New York City subway system." Along with Coppola's intricate ink drawings are anecdotes he assembled through painstaking research involving hundreds of hours poring through microfilms to discover the names behind the artisanship of what is rightly called New York's largest public art work---its legendary subway system. Philip Ashforth Coppola's drawings have been featured in the New York Times, "Hyperallergic", and on the BBC and are included in the New York Transit Museum's permanent collection. Foreword by Jonathan Lethem.
