En route pour 100 lieux qu'il faut avoir vus… ou lus ! Première escale dans les « lieux du monde » (d'Amérique à Zealandia en passant par la jungle…), sites bien réels et néanmoins chargés de symboles. Deuxième escale dans les « lieux d'histoire », géographie historique ou histoire géographique qui nous mène d'Alésia à Wounded Knee en passant par Babylone et Vichy. Troisième halte dans des « lieux en commun » dépoussiérés des lieux communs (d'agora à ville…). Quatrième étape : les « lieux sacrés ou exécrés », qui font partie du patrimoine culturel mondial (d'Académie à Tombouctou en passant par La Mecque…). Enfi n, un saut dans les « lieux imaginaires » qui nous en disent long sur notre réalité (de l'Atlantide à Wakanda en passant par Poudlard…). Un guide pas comme les autres pour tous ceux qui aiment voyager, même si c'est autour de leur chambre !

In these harsh lands inhabited by the silence of humble fragments, architectural design ties both history and life together, revealing the essential features of the place. The book proposes a journey within abandonment between Architecture and ruins: it reinterprets the pioneering research of Aldo Rossi; it explores, together with Gianandrea Gazzola, the labyrinths of meaning between Art and ruin; it investigates the projects of Colletta di Castelbianco by Giancarlo De Carlo and the houses in the Canton of Ticino by Buchner Bründler; and finally, it traces an itinerary of contamination between anonymous architecture and architectural languages in the Mediterranean. It is within these horizons that the Design and Research Laboratory of the Florence School of Architecture reveals the deep soul and redesigns a new life for the abandoned villages of Castiglioncello di Firenzuola (FI) and Campo di Brenzone (VR).

The airport is considered a critical and complex system in the matter of sustainability. The vision of life-cycle typical of air terminal design processes may be transferred to the technical choices pertaining its envelope. The volume discusses these issues in a practical and user oriented way, analyzing Performance Based Design documentation; Performance sheets samples; Bid documentation; Building Technology items; Bill of Quantities rules and samples; Technical Solutions by international drawing standards.
