Résumé:
This book, a documentary history, records a cognitive history of the emergence of modern architecture. Cutting across disciplinarian and institutional divisions, as we know them today, it reconstructs developments within the framework of a cognitive history of the past. Modern is here taken to mean the radical re-thinking of architecture from the end of the tenth century in Europe to the end of the eighteenth century. Among the key debates that mark the period are those that oppose tradition to innovation, canon to discovery, geometrical formality to natural picturesqueness, the functional to the hedonistic.

Résumé:
"The `restoration' of Notre Dame de Paris has always been controversial. Viollet-le-Duc and Jean Baptiste Lassus have long been cast as the handmaidens of nineteenth-century positivism, instilling a vision of rational structure and historical development on the cathedral only recently purged of its Revolutionary years as a Temple of Reason.

Résumé:
"The `restoration' of Notre Dame de Paris has always been controversial. Viollet-le-Duc and Jean Baptiste Lassus have long been cast as the handmaidens of nineteenth-century positivism, instilling a vision of rational structure and historical development on the cathedral only recently purged of its Revolutionary years as a Temple of Reason. Writing a history of the cathedral's bevy of gargoyles, Michael Camille brilliantly confirms Viollet-le-Duc's definition of `restoration' as both a word and thing of modern coinage. This last work of one of our time's great medievalists is, like Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, at once monumental and wide ranging, yet always focused on a demonic protagonist. Provocative, at times profoundly insightful, Michael Camille unveils the fantasies and anxieties of both Viollet-le-Duc and all the restorations since in the veils of meaning and emotions of France's most visited cathedral."

Résumé:
Much has been said about the Arts & crafts spirit of Californians, their appreciation of the land, their desire to build "simple" yet interesting houses that connect with the outdoors (sleeping porches, gardens, verandas, terraces, and so on), and their love of wilderness areas. This new edition of the classic, "Building with nature: roots of the San Francisco Bay region tradition", focuses on the beginnings (1865 and on) of the Bay area shingle style and Arts & crafts collaboration in California, and the origins of the trend toward building simple rustic homes in harmony with nature. Freudenheim explores how and why a small, influential group of Californians (including Joseph Worcester, Bernard Maybeck, Charles Keeler, William Keith, Charles Lummis, A. Page Brown, and others)-all of whom had come from the East or from England-were especially devoted to Ruskin and the Arts & crafts style and how this combined with their dedication to California's natural beauty to create a unique architectural movement.

Résumé:
Ce livre examine habilement l'équilibre entre la notion de postérité et l'aspect pratique en architecture au cours de l'histoire. Des pyramide de l'Égypte ancienne à l'Opéra de Sydney jusqu'au cottage traditionnel, l'architecture offre des contrastes frappants et une dimension culturelle non-négligeable. Au-delà de la présentation des périodes et des styles distincts tels que «baroque» ou «moderne», Andrew Ballantyne explore la signification économique, politique et esthétique des objets architecturaux tout en relevant comment l'architecture prend tout son sens à la lumière de la tradition et comment elle contribue à faire de nous les êtres que nous sommes.
