"Les démarches radicales s'inscrivent souvent dans un espace transcendant. C'est ce qui est arrivé à la modernité architecturale, bien connue pour ses héros, ses icônes, ses manifestes et ses intentions sociales généreuses. Mais comment l'architecture, art de l'utilitas, aurait-elle pu se délier des contraintes du XXe siècle? Elle est bien la fille des mythes, des contradictions, des aspirations et plus encore, des rapports de force en transformation du siècle passé"--

Le patrimoine architectural du xxe siècle, en cours de création, nécessite de s’interroger sur les principaux enjeux de sa conservation : que conserver, pourquoi conserver, comment conserver ? Dans le cadre de la réflexion internationale menée sur la question de la patrimonialisation de l’architecture du xxe siècle - conservation, restauration -, un colloque a été organisé au sein de l’Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail au mois d’avril 2010, l’architecture de Georges Candilis servant de prétexte idéal. Intitulé « Conservation, restauration de l’Architecture du mouvement moderne : l’exemple de l’Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail de Georges Candilis », ce colloque a rassemblé des acteurs essentiels du monde de l’architecture en France dont les recherches portent sur la question de la patrimonialisation d’édifices de l’architecture du xxe siècle. La richesse des personnalités et des parcours a ainsi permis d’envisager le sujet à travers ses diverses dimensions permettant un échange objectif et constructif sur divers aspects de cette problématique. Les actes de ce colloque se donnent pour objectif de participer à la réflexion sur les orientations que sont amenées à prendre les institutions responsables de la conservation du patrimoine.

The book describes the story of Clarté, Le Corbusier’s first apartment building, continuing the narrative into the 21st century. The steel skeleton building completed in Geneva in 1930/1932 is a prototype of the Moderne style and a precursor of the Unité d’Habitation. The building was neglected for many decades and not listed as a historic building until the 1990s. In 2007 the external envelope was repaired as the first step, followed by refurbishment of the interior, in which building preservation requirements were taken into account in an exemplary manner. The building log book by the architects and structural engineers is illustrated with numerous new and historic drawings and photographs, and has been supplemented with an account of the building’s history. The renovated building is presented in large photographs.

Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand (1760–1834) regarded the Précis of the Lectures on Architecture (1802–5) and its companion volume, the Graphic Portion (1821), as both a basic course for future civil engineers and a treatise. Focusing the practice of architecture on utilitarian and economic values, he assailed the rationale behind classical architectural training: beauty, proportionality, and symbolism. His formal systematization of plans, elevations, and sections transformed architectural design into a selective modular typology in which symmetry and simple geometrical forms prevailed. His emphasis on pragmatic values, to the exclusion of metaphysical concerns, represented architecture as a closed system that subjected its own formal language to logical processes. Now published in English for the first time, the Précis and the Graphic Portion are classics of architectural education.
