Der Architekt Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer gesteht sich ein, dass er angesichts der eskalierenden Klimakrise seine Haltung überdenken - oder auch erst wirklich entwickeln muss!

Le parcours d'un professeur au Collège de France engagé dans la cité. Penser la ville médiévale à l'échelle du monde. Une réflexion sur la pratique émancipatrice de l'historien. Partant de l'adage médiéval " l'air d de la ville rend libre ", qui rend compte du fait que les hommes s'émancipent des dépendances anciennes par le seul fait qu'ils entrent en ville, Patrick Boucheron retrace le parcours qui l'a mené de l'histoire de la brique, des bâtiments et des places publiques, à celle des pouvoirs, de la mémoire et de l'archipel urbain à l'échelle du monde.

Every Monument Will Fall offers an urgent reappraisal of how we think about culture, and how to find hope, remembrance and reconciliation in the fragments of an unfinished violent past. Refusing to choose between pulling down every statue, or living in a past that we can never change, the book makes the case for allowing monuments to fall once in a while, even those that are hard to see as monuments, rebuilding a memory culture that is in step with our times.

Country House Collection documents the development of stately homes in England with a trajectory from Medieval times to a burgeoning of the neo-classical style of building in the early to mid 18th-century.

Notre-Dame, una chiesa, ma anche il cuore di Parigi e un''cona che supera i confini della Francia. A un anno dal rogo che ha distrutto la Cattedrale e commosso il mondo, Franco Cardini ne fa la protagonista del suo nuovo libro: un'interprete solo apparentemente senza voce della storia d'Europa che ha assistito a molti grandi eventi nel corso dei secoli e può quindi raccontarci il Vecchio continente dal Medioevo a oggi.

Once America’s capitalist dream town, Detroit is our country’s greatest urban failure, having fallen the longest and the farthest. But the city’s worst crisis yet (and that’s saying something) has managed to do the unthinkable: turn the end of days into a laboratory for the future. Urban planners, land speculators, neopastoral agriculturalists, and utopian environmentalists―all have been drawn to Detroit’s baroquely decaying frontier. With an eye for both the darkly absurd and the radically new Detroit-area native Mark Binelli has chronicled this convergence.

La memoria nasce con la civiltà, e così la sua conservazione. Non a caso la storia narrata in questo audiolibro parte da Assurbanipal e arriva fino a oggi. L'atto del conservare non è mai neutrale: già il re assiro faceva della sua biblioteca un segno e uno strumento di potere. Ancora meno neutrale è l'atto del distruggere: i roghi nazisti di libri ne sono l'esempio più tristemente celebre. Ma c'è un altro modo, meno plateale, per cancellare un patrimonio: non prendersene adeguata cura.

Part narrative treatise, part visual celebration of Maximalism through the ages, it is rich in history, anecdotes and quite a few rules, most of which are to be broken.

Le città europee sono più di un luogo fisico, più della somma dei loro edifici, sono l'esito di una "intenzione estetica" che nasce dalla quotidianità dei cittadini. Marco Romano ripercorre le origini storiche di questa lunga ricerca della bellezza, individuando così il contributo fondamentale, sebbene poco raccontato, che le donne hanno dato a questo sviluppo. È stato infatti l'intuito e il desiderio femminile a suggerire ieri come oggi molte soluzioni che hanno dato forma alle nostre città, dalle capitali ai villaggi.
