This book offers the first critical account of Studio Aalto's religious modern architecture. Aalto's ecclesiastical oeuvre is viewed as an evocative subgenre of the practice's portfolio, but its relationship to religion has eluded enquiry. Where previously discussed, the longstanding collaboration between Aalto and the Church has been put down to reciprocal expediency, and the buildings perceived as spatially and structurally stirring experiments, yet devoid of religious meanings or implications. The idiosyncratic plasticity of the Church of the Three Crosses (1955-58) in Imatra, Finland-the most famous and architecturally impressive of Aalto's churches-is cited as ultimate evidence of Aalto's exploitation of the religious brief for the creation of a 'sculptural irrationality'.This book challenges the assumed autonomy of Studio Aalto's ecclesiastical oeuvre from religion. Analysing designs for churches, parish centres, funerary chapels and cemeteries in Finland, Denmark, Germany and Italy, the book shows that Aalto's engagement with religion transcended artistic opportunism. The book addresses Aalto's sacred oeuvre in its entirety, yet pays particular attention to the Church of the Three Crosses, broadly considered the apotheosis of Aalto's sacred career. Through a detailed analysis of the religious actors and factors that shaped the design and construction of Aalto's sacred works-from local parish building committees to bishops, and from liturgical reform movements to post-war debates on sacred art-this book shows that religious influences were neither extrinsic nor peripheral to Aalto's modernism, but intrinsic and intimately related to it. The study of previously uncovered primary archival materials establishes that Aalto's engagement with the Church was a consciously and productively symbiotic partnership which drew from shared interests and values, yet which also encompassed compromise and conflict. The resultant buildings neither glorify nor deny institutional religion - instead, this book argues, they challenge rigid dogmatism in religion as much as in modern architecture.

Entre les années 1979 et 1989, plusieurs fouilles furent conduites au coeur du vieux Fréjus, aux abords immédiats de la cathédrale et même à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Sur des parcelles parfois difficiles d'accès, les résultats obtenus sont souvent complexes mais ont permis, pour la première fois, de mettre en évidence quelques portions de l'agglomération coloniale de Forum Iulii, d'abord établie dans ce secteur sud-est de la ville selon un schéma urbain original (réseau A). La relation que cette occupation primitive entretient avec le reste de la ville, organisée dans des directions différentes (réseau B), est riche d'enseignements. De ces recherches découlent les découvertes, entre autres, du forum de la ville mais aussi d'une portion du cardo maximus et d'un secteur monumental sous l'emprise de la cathédrale. Il faut également souligner la mise au jour, sous la place formigé, d'une domus dont les murs conservent leurs peintures sur près de 2 m de hauteur, ce qui représente un site remarquable pour la Gaule. Cet ouvrage, qui voit le jour après de longues années de recherhce et de réflexion, constitue la publication scientifique de ces différents chantiers de fouilles. Il tente de présenter ces acquis de façon pratique en livrant des monographies aussi exhaustives que possible pour chacun de ces sites, avec en particulier l'étude des différents mobiliers (céramique, monnaies, verre, etc.) ; inscrits dans le centre ancien de Forum Iulii.

In the thirteenth century, mendicant orders introduced new ways of religious life that engaged the laity through preaching and conversion. Moreover, they founded new movements for religious women dedicated to prayer and contemplation, such as the Dominican nuns and the Poor Clares. In their churches, both friars and nuns were separated from the laity, either in choir precincts situated behind architectural screens, or in upper galleries raised above ground level. Before the widespread removal of these furnishings, therefore, medieval and early modern mendicant church interiors did not resemble the unified spaces we encounter today. This volume presents a series of European case studies which use textual and material evidence to reconstruct and analyze the internal divisions of churches between the thirteenth and the sixteenth century. Thus, the authors provide a broad understanding of the variety, function, and meaning of the internal divisions that once conditioned the spiritual experience, function and meaning of sacred space for the laity as well as for the religious community.
