Book Description
Le métier d'architecte, tel que nous le connaissons maintenant, s'est constitué à partir de la Renaissance à travers plusieurs processus, notamment la définition des savoirs qui en fondent les compétences, la prééminence sur les autres métiers qui interviennent dans l'édification et le rapport avec des commanditaires appartenant aux différents pouvoirs. Ce livre retrace l'histoire et les transformations de ce métier du Moyen Age au XXe siècle, en s'appuyant sur la mise en perspective et la confrontation d'un ensemble de travaux historiques sur le sujet.

Book Description
Allan Braham's comprehensive treatment of this brilliant and complex period introduces the reader to the major buildings, architects, and architectural patrons of the day. At the same time, it explores the broader determinants of architectural production: the rapid economic expansion of Paris and the main provincial centers and the increasing demand for improved public amenities--theaters, schools, markets, and hospitals. This generously illustrated book provides a vivid commentary on society and manners in pre-Revolutionary France.

Poglavje Crossing Geographies obravnava pomen migrantk in migracij za globalno širjenje modernizma in pojava avantgardnih umetnostnih gibanj; Pioneers and Organisations predstavlja nekatere pionirke in njihovo vključevanje v stanovske organizacije; The Home govori o položaju žensk med obema vojnama in načinih, kako so skušale preseči družbene omejitve preko notranjega oblikovanja; Representation je posvečen zastopanosti in obravnavi ustvarjalk v publicistiki; Cases from Ireland to Finland prinaša primere uveljavitve ustvarjalk v izrazito moških poklicih; Examining Drawings as Practices of Architectural Design pa z novimi metodološkimi pristopi prinaša vpogled v arhitekturne projekte žensk.

Book Description
This is a study of royal absolutism in a most extreme form in modern European history, and of the nature of Louis XIV's concept of personal glory and of the embodiment of France as a new superpower. It is a study of political ideas expressed in architecture to establish Versailles as the centre of French world power and royal prestige. It is also a personal story, full of social, cultural, and economic history of the period as seen in the life and work of Louis Le Vau, from a humble family of craftsmen, who was a self-taught architect in the early history of the profession, skilled in technical craft skills and even grand design. He was a major contributor to the architectural glories of Paris including the Louvre, Vincennes, Versailles and the College of the Four Nations. And all achieved despite interference from the great magnates of the age like Mazarin and Colbert and constant mind-changing by the King who wanted every feature in the buildings to reflect his concept of personal, royal, prestige. Le Vau was Louis XIV's First Architect from 1654 until his death and disgrace in 1670. The social, cultural, economic and political backdrop is striking with court intrigue, scandal, corruption, luxury, indulgence and the rise of a rich bourgeoisie, but the main thrust of the story concerns Louis XIV and the royal personal ambition, and the work of a stone-cutter's son who became the Sun King's instrument. The study is good on the more technical features of architectural history - reminiscent of Pevsner's marvellous Buildings of England series.

Book Description
Everyone knows Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the chateaux of the Loire Valley, but French architects have also produced some of the most iconic buildings of the twentieth century, playing a central role in the emergence and development of modernism. In France, Jean-Louis Cohen presents a complete narrative of the unfolding architectural modernity in the country, grappling not only with the buildings but also with the political and critical context surrounding them. Cohen examines the developments in urban design and architecture within France, depicting the continuities and breaks in French architecture since 1900 against a broader international background. Describing the systems of architectural exchange with other countries—including Italy, Germany, Russia, and the United States—he offers a new view on the ideas, projects, and buildings otherwise so often considered only from narrow nationalistic perspectives. Cohen also maps the problematic search for a national identity against the background of European rivalries and France’s colonial past. Drawing on a wealth of recent research, this authoritatively written book will challenge the way design professionals and historians view modern French architecture.

Book Description
This book explores the connection between digital fabrication and the design build studio in both academic and professional studios. The book presents 17 essays and cases studies from well-known scholars and practitioners, including Kengo Kuma, Joseph Choma, Dan Rockhill, Keith Zawistowski, and Marie Zawistowski, whose theoretical and practical work addresses design build at various levels. Four introductory essays trace the history of the design build movement, exploring the emergence of design build in the pedagogy of the Bauhaus, the integration of technology into architectural design, and the influence of the act of making on the design build studio. The rest of the book is divided into two parts; the first part looks at traditional pedagogical models for the design build studio, and the second part focuses on experimental methods used in design build programs. Together, these works discuss human behavior, social-cultural trends, and motivations in socially minded studios which are based on a service-learning model. They look at component-based studios where innovation allows for an increased level of research and testing of new materials and assemblies, sustainable principles, and zero-energy prototypes. Illustrated with over 200 color images, this book will be a valuable resource for architecture students, educators, and practitioners seeking to explore the impact of digital fabrication on the global design build movement.

Book Description
Quelques grands noms, Lemercier, Le Vau ou Mansart, suffisent aujourd'hui à incarner dans la mémoire collective le prestige des architectes français du XVIIe siècle. Leur célébrité individuelle, liée à des bâtiments et à des commanditaires particulièrement prestigieux, cache en réalité une autre histoire : celle du changement profond de la pratique des arts et de la construction en France. Derrière leurs figures emblématiques, c'est en fait tout un groupe professionnel qui émerge alors des anciens métiers du bâtiment, pour occuper une place nouvelle dans la société de leur époque. A travers quelques cent soixante-dix oeuvres et documents exceptionnels, issus d'archives publiques, de musées français et étrangers et de collections particulières, le catalogue de l'exposition Dessiner pour bâtir explore les enjeux artistiques et culturels de l'affirmation de l'architecte moderne dans la France du Grand Siècle. La première partie, consacrée à la carrière, éclaire les mutations de la formation, de la culture et du statut des architectes, avec ses conséquences sur leur image et leur position sociale. Réservée à l'analyse des esquisses et dessins de projet, la deuxième partie met en lumière la diversité des personnalités artistiques et l'évolution de leur expression graphique au cours du siècle, à travers un superbe choix de feuilles connues ou inédites. Enfin, c'est l'action concrète de l'architecte sur le chantier qui est envisagée dans la troisième et dernière partie, non seulement à travers la conception technique des ouvrages, mais aussi par ses relations avec les différents acteurs de la construction, commanditaires, entrepreneurs et ouvriers du bâtiment.
