Résumé:
The first volume is a photographic gallery of Pyongyang buildings divided into major architectural categories--urban planning, residential buildings, cultural venues, education and sport, hotels/department stores, transport infrastructure, and monuments. Volume 2 contains illustrated essays on varied facets of the Pyongyang architecture. In this volume, one finds photographs of buildings under construction, photos of North Koreans in other social settings, pictures of leaders and government officials, and posters on the sides of urban buildings or monuments meant to work in conjunction with them in representing the strength of social unity, the relationship between leaders and the population, and other principles of the nation's ideology. Use of the two-volume set as a travel guide is noted by the editor. He also notes that all visitors to North Korea are monitored continually by the authorities, not that this interferes with viewing the architecture. But even if one does not plan travel to North Korea, the set works as a unique informative illustrated study of the architecture of this infamous, closed society. On this subject, it is encyclopedic.

Shanghai, c’est la ville mythique par excellence. Capable de se renouveler cycliquement, de se rebâtir continuellement, on pourrait la croire dans un présent absolu, comme absente à son histoire, récente ou non, comme sans mémoire. Mais ce qui était vrai au début des années 2000 ne l’est peut-être plus aujourd’hui. Ville à l’avant-garde, ville laboratoire, elle a connu(...)

Shanghai, c’est la ville mythique par excellence. Capable de se renouveler cycliquement, de se rebâtir continuellement, on pourrait la croire dans un présent absolu, comme absente à son histoire, récente ou non, comme sans mémoire. Mais ce qui était vrai au début des années 2000 ne l’est peut-être plus aujourd’hui. Ville à l’avant-garde, ville laboratoire, elle a connu des bouleversements majeurs. Au cours de cette traversée des années 1980 à nos jours, Françoise Ged nous guide dans cette ville où l’ordinaire et l’exceptionnel sans cesse se côtoient.

Résumé:
Février 1967, la Révolution culturelle est à son point d’incandescence. Shanghai bouillonne. Un groupe d’ouvriers et d’étudiants rebelles, d’abord minoritaire mais bien décidé, va réussir l’impossible : se débarrasser du vieux parti communiste local et de la municipalité somnolente, et prendre le pouvoir dans la ville. Se réclamant explicitement de la Commune de Paris, ils créent un organisme nouveau, la Commune de Shanghai. Les ouvriers et les étudiants sont maîtres de la plus grande ville industrielle de Chine. Le livre retrace presque jour par jour cette aventure unique : la montée de la révolte, les luttes internes, la résistance féroce de ceux qui s’accrochent au pouvoir en s’appuyant sur l’armée, la victoire de la Commune – et puis le recul sur ordre de Mao qui craint lui-même que l’armée le lâche. La Commune de Shanghai, qui devient Comité révolutionnaire, aura duré moins longtemps que la Commune de Paris.

This publication covers the most innovative and inspired small houses in Japan and is split into two volumes: city and country. Featuring a total of more than 25 small-scale domestic projects categorised based on location, together the volumes form an intriguing report on how predominantly young Japanese architects approach challenging contexts and highly restricted urban sites. Beautifully photographed and presented with detailed drawings, project information and insights by the individual architects, the selected domiciles are a testament to Japanese design talent when striving for maximum yield through minimal means in high-density or natural surroundings.

Résumé:
Un panorama d'une centaine de maisons illustrant huit décennies de création architecturale au Japon, conçues par 75 architectes ou agences. La sélection permet de découvrir l'évolution des styles, associant originalité et tradition, et des matériaux. Associant créativité et tradition, les maisons d’architecte construites au Japon depuis 1945 sont parmi les plus insolites et les plus fascinantes au monde. Soumis après-guerre à de strictes contraintes légales et spatiales, les architectes nippons n’ont en effet pas eu d’autre choix, pour répondre aux exigences du mode d’habiter japonais, que d’explorer et d’expérimenter des solutions extrêmes. Le résultat est cette architecture unique, déroutante et inspirante signée de nombreux architectes comme Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, Shigeru Ban ou Kengo Kuma, dont l’audace moderne, si ce n’est futuriste, est portée par une culture millénaire.

Résumé:
In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them having migrated from Mainland China or studied overseas, embraced modern principles when forced to face the problems of housing shortage, mass construction and limited budgets. Although economic efficiencies often prevailed over design, their buildings were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local climate, social values, materials, technique and use in an often unique and pragmatic fashion. With more than 300 buildings and ensembles documented, the new publication ''Hong Kong modern architecture of the 1950s-1970s'' by Walter Koditek gives a comprehensive overview on the architecture of that transformative period in combining full-page photographs with detailed background information and further b/w images explaining and illustrating the design and history of these buildings.

Résumé:
A new world is emerging in China, with urbanization and the wholesale globalization of daily life moving at unprecedented speed. The Communist Party line has been replaced by maxims about working together to build a modern, economically resilient country. Cities are being rigorously adapted to fit this new vision, with disastrous consequences for existing structures and neighborhoods. Social and societal balances have been swiftly, radically altered. Can Chinese identity survive in a consumer society and a radically transformed urban environment, both conceived on a Western model? This first interdisciplinary overview of the country’s contemporary arts, architecture, urban planning and visual culture--including television, photography, newspapers, games and blogs - offers the work of some 20 Chinese artists considering these issues, and projects by some 10 Chinese architectural firms. "China contemporary" finds that a mix of long standing tradition, decades of Communism and hurriedly translated Western capitalism have resulted in an exciting visual and formal idiom.
