'Usonia, New York' is the story of a group of idealistic men and women who, following WWII, enlisted Frank Lloyd Wright to design and help them build a cooperative utopian community near Pleasantville, NY. Through both historic memorabilia and contemporary color photos, this book reveals the still-thriving community based on concepts Wright advocated in his Broadacre City proposals. Over the years, thousands of architects, scholars, planners, and students have visited the community, but no book has yet appeared on this remarkable site. Reisley, one of the original members of Usonia (and still a resident), has written the first full account to illuminate the events, problems, and passions of a democratic group of people developing a designed environment an hour from New York City and the ups and downs of working with America's most famous -and most famously volatile-architect.

Refusant le parcours strictement géographique ou chronologique, Dominique Jarrassé aborde ici de façon extrêmement séduisante l'architecture des synagogues à travers le monde et au travers des siècles. L'accent est en effet mis sur la relation architecture-histoire, sur le lien entre l'architecture et la condition des Juifs. Ainsi la synagogue apparaît-elle comme un véritable symbole de l'identité juive, comme le miroir aux multiples facettes des craintes, des aspirations, des orientations d'un peuple face aux persécutions, à l'exil et à la dispersion, à l'intégration dans des pays d'accueil, voire à sa renaissance nationale en Israël. Un ouvrage de référence passionnant et une clef de lecture probante pour comprendre, par exemple, pourquoi les synagogues ont puisé dans tous les styles, pourquoi le peuple juif n'a jamais élaboré un art qui lui soit propre et comment, en matière de synagogues, il n'existe pas un style mais une infinité de styles architecturaux, reflet de la multitude d'évènements qui touche le peuple juif depuis des siècles.
