Summary:
Quelle est l'identité architecturale de Paris ? Sur quelles dispositions presque inconscientes repose le visage, si familier qu'on ne le détaille jamais, des rues de la capitale ? Comment au cours des siècles, s'est constituée l'architecture parisienne, et possède-t-elle des caractéristiques spécifiques ? Comment des débats, menés à un niveau international, ont-ils trouvé des applications parisiennes qui se sont imprégnées de la spécificité locale ? Et comment imaginer le Paris contemporain, en construisant l'architecture qui sera le patrimoine de demain, sans nostalgie mais en s'inscrivant dans une culture originale ? Autant de questions posées ici, de manière concrète, pour que Paris reste une capitale habitée, vivante, et en perpétuel devenir.

Summary:
Qui ne s'est pas baladé dans Paris, le nez en l'air, sans autre but que le plaisir de voir, de humer, d'écouter ? Les écrivains ne s'en sont pas privés. Ils ont hanté les jardins du Palais Royal, arpenté les boulevards, se sont aventurés du côté des apaches et des fortifications. Ils ont raconté la ville et ses habitants, les constructions anciennes et nouvelles, le palais et l'atelier. A l'heure où cette tradition s'efface, ce livre propose une plongée qui a pour nous les charmes de la nostalgie.
