Originally published in 1756, "A treatise on civil architecture" is an architecture handbook in which Chambers explains the basics of the art of building, aiming "to collect into one volume what is now dispersed in a great many, and to select, from mountains of promiscuous Materials, a Series of Sound Precepts and good Designs." The guidebook is supplemented by texts andl illustrations of classical building types and their functions. Received with considerable acclaim upon its release, "A treatise on civil architecture" quickly became the most popular practical work on architecture in the English language and has since been republished several times.

Summary:
Ce livre est la traduction de la 2e édition de "Einführung in die Geschichte der Architekturtheorie" parue en 1987. En tant que discipline, la théorie de l'architecture se situe d'abord dans le champ de la littérature artistique et se manifeste par des traités autant que par des chroniques, des pamphlets, des textes romanesques, voire des utopies. La tradition scientifique du traité remonte aux "Dix livres de l'architecture" de l'ingénieur-architecte Vitruve, ouvrage dédié à l'empereur Auguste. En Italie, en France, en Angleterre et en Allemagne, le discours lettré sur l'architecture répercute jusqu'au XIXe siècle l'écho du texte fondateur. D'où cette affirmation, cette amplification et ce déclin du vitruvianisme en tant que doctrine cardinale, sujette aux remises en cause de l'histoire. Partant de ce texte fondateur, le livre proposé examine le retentissement de Vitruve sur la théorie de l'architecture au Moyen Age, à la Renaissance et dans les Temps Modernes. Emanant de cours et de séminaires donnés à l'Université de Bâle, et donc destiné à l'enseignement, il propose un aperçu de l'exégèse vitruvienne et vise à mettre en place des jalons qui renvoient à la lecture des textes.

Ce traité sanskrit d’architecture, rédigé par un auteur inconnu résidant dans l’Inde méridionale, est l’un des textes les plus complets au sujet des bâtiments et des agglomérations de l’Inde classique, notamment en pays tamoul et malayalam. Combinaison de considérations techniques, pratiques et religieuses, le « Mayamata » indique comment choisir le site d’une construction suivant la classe sociale de ses futurs occupants, quel plan et quelle orientation adopter pour une maison d’habitation, un palais ou un temple garantissant le bien-être de ses résidents, quelles techniques constructives il convient d’utiliser dans chacun de ces cas. Il détaille la cérémonie à réaliser lors de la pose de la première pierre ou lors de la prise de possession du bâtiment, décrit le mobilier, le linga (représentation phallique symbolique de Siva) et la façon de figurer les dieux dans les édifices. La présente édition illustrée, aux allures de carnet d’architecte, reprend des extraits de la traduction du « Mayamata », revue pour l’occasion par Bruno Dagens, avec un appareil de notes allégé et une nouvelle introduction resituant ce traité des points de vue historique, géographie, mais aussi par rapport à l’ensemble de la tradition indienne classique d’écrits sur l’architecture et l’art d’habiter.

Summary:
Momus is the most ambitious literary creation of Leon Battista Alberti, the famous humanist-scientist-artist and "universal man" of the Italian Renaissance. In this dark comedy, written around 1450, Alberti charts the lively fortunes of his anti-hero Momus, the unscrupulous and vitriolic god of criticism. Alberti deploys his singular erudition and wit to satirize subjects from court life and politics to philosophy and intellectuals, from grand architectural designs to human and divine folly. The possible contemporary resonance of Alberti's satire, read variously as a humanist roman-à-clef and as a veiled mockery of the mid-Quattrocento papacy, is among its most intriguing aspects. While his more famous books on architecture, painting, and family life have long been regarded as indispensable to a study of Renaissance culture, Momus has recently attracted increasing attention from scholars as a work anticipating the realism of Machiavelli and the satiric wit of Erasmus. This edition provides a new Latin text, the first to be based on the two earliest manuscripts, both corrected by Alberti himself, and includes the first full translation into English.

Summary:
Sebastiano Serlio was the most important architectural writer and theorist of the sixteenth century. The author of the first wide-ranging illustrated book on architecture, he produced a complete set of model designs as well as practical solutions for everyday design problems. This volume, the second in a two-volume series of Serlio’s entire works, presents the previously unpublished sixth book, the seventh book, and, as well as The Extraordinary Book of Doors, his little-known Castrametation of the Romans, each of which demonstrates Serlio’s sophisticated design theories. This is the first translation of Serlio’s later works and the first time that the long lost sixth volume has been united with its companion works and restored to its intended position. The book also includes an introduction and notes by translators Vaughan Hart and Peter Hicks that demonstrate Serlio’s significance within the history of architecture and the importance of these neglected texts to our understanding of Serlio’s work.

La collection des plans-reliefs a été créée en 1668 par Louvois, ministre de la guerre de Louis XIV. Outils employés pour la conception de nouvelles fortifications, puis œuvres de prestige servant la glorification de la puissance des souverains, ces plans-reliefs, chefs-d'œuvre de miniaturisation, offrent le témoignage de plus de deux siècles d'histoire de la fortification bastionnée, de la guerre de siège et de la constitution du territoire, de Louis XIV au XIXe siècle. Ils constituent une source documentaire unique pour l'histoire de la fortification, de l'urbanisme, de l'architecture et du paysage des anciens Pays-Bas français.

Summary:
The only full treatise on architecture and its related arts to survive from classical antiquity, the "Architectura libri decem" ("Ten Books of Architecture") is the single most important work of architectural history in the Western world, having shaped humanist architecture and the image of the architect from the Renaissance to the present. Extremely influential in the formation of the medieval and modern concept of a broad liberal arts education as the basis for responsible professionals, this work is remarkable also because over half of its content deals with aspects of Hellenistic art, science, and technology, music theory, law, artillery, siege machinery, proportion and philosophy, among other topics. This new, critical edition of Vitruvius' "Ten Books of Architecture" is the first to be published for an English-language audience in more than half a century.

For classical architects, the term Palladian stands for a vocabulary of architectural forms embodying perfection and beauty. Of even greater significance than Palladio's buildings is his treatise I quattro libri dell'architettura (The Four Books On Architecture), the most successful architectural treatise of the Renaissance and one of the two or three most important books in the literature of architecture. This is the first English translation of Palladio in over 250 years, making it the only translation available in modern English. This new translation by Robert Tavernor and Richard Schofield contains Palladio's original woodcuts, reproduced in facsimile and positioned correctly, adjacent to the text. The book also contains a glossary that explains technical terms in their original context, a bibliography of recent Palladio research, and an introduction to Palladio and his times.
