Can the individual be implicated in the mega-scale environment by mediating the barriers and marginal zones of the urban landscape? This investigation engages the megalopolis and its full grotesqueness in terms of scale and intensity; experiments with a range of strategies attempting to emphasize the individual without combating the potency of the urban environment; prismatically separates and intensifies the visual, audible and tactile senses while involving cognitive processes in re-sensitizing the individual. The contemporary metropolis (or megalopolis) exists as a dramatic urban landscape. With a propensity for territorial sprawl, this mega-entity can be physically defined by its severe shifts in scale and intensity. Spatial cohesiveness is non-existent as immense, fragmented barriers are introduced and marginal non-spaces are created. The whole can be viewed as calamity of independent layers manifesting coincidental relationships and intersections. This contemporary environment is inherently in motion as conditional and cultural elements compete for attention. Planes, trains, automobiles, media, cell phones, signage, voice mail, BMW's, exercise make-up, couriers, overnight delivery, e-mail, phone sex, commercials, busses, espresso, deadlines, ambulances, whistles, bars, parades, politics, dogs barking, news at nine ... bombard the senses. Within this environment the individual must insulate perceptions to cognitively organize the stimulus. Consequently a psychological ambivalence is procured and sensual experiences lost.

Abstract:
La presente these se propose d'analyser et d'interpreter en termes de modernite certains aspects de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme a chicago depuis la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale jusqu'au debut des annees 1980. La pratique architecturale et urbanistique du modernisme fait l'objet de la premiere partie. L'oeuvre de mies van der rohe a chicago est analysee en fonction de problemes esthetiques, economiques et de structure constructive. Puis, les realisations de l'agence skidmore, owings et merrill, de w. Netsch et de b. Goldberg sont tour a tour envisagees comme des facettes de la modernite constructive a chicago. La deuxieme partie est centree sur les doctrines et pratiques postmodernistes depuis le milieu des annees 1970. Les exemples retenus (helmut jahn, thomas beeby et stanley tigerman) mettent en evidence une logique de l'historicisme et de la communication semiologique dans l'architecture actuelle a chicago. Dans la troisieme partie, on vise a donner une interpretation globale du corpus analyse precedemment. La these presentee est la suivante : les continuites entre le modernisme et le post-modernisme sont plus significatives que les ruptures ouvertement proclamees entre ces deux pratiques artistiques. Une meme notion de la modernite les englobe. Le reperage de ces differents niveaux de continuite permet de souligner des enjeux fondamentaux sur le statut et la fonction socio-economique de l'architecture dans la societe americaine contemporaine
This thesis is an analysis ans interpretation in terms of modernity of some aspects of architecture and urbanism in chicago from the end of world war ii to the early 1980s. The first part deals with architectural and urbanistic modernism. Mies van der rohe's work in chicago is examined from the aesthetic, economic and structural points of view. The doctrines and buildings of the firm skidmore, owings and merrill, of w. Netsch and b. Goldberg are then examined as so many aspects of modernism in the building art in chicago. The second part focuses on post-modernist doctrines and productions since the mid-1970s. Selected examples (helmut jahn, thomas beeby and stanley tigerman) underline a concern for historicism and semiological communication in chicago current architecture. In the third part is put forward a global interpretation of the set of works analysed previously. The conclusion is the following : the openly proclaimed and supposedly real break between modernism and post-modernism is far less significant than the underlying continuities between the two. They are both part of modernity. To point out different levels of continuity is a means to emphasize some fundamental questions at stake in the status and socio-economic function of architecture in current american society

Abstract:
L'auteur attribue l'échec des modèles d'équilibre général à intégrer la monnaie - l'impossibilité de résoudre la problématique de Hahn - à la conception de l'incertitude adoptée : le risque, i. E. , l'incertitude probabilisable. Il se propose d'étudier deux théories monétaires alternatives qui adoptent une autre conception de l'incertitude : l'incertitude non probabilisable développée par Keynes et Knight. En analysant les relations théoriques qui unissent la monnaie et l'incertitude, l'auteur fait alors apparaître un double lien de causalité entre ces deux concepts : 1) le lien entre incertitude => [et] monnaie. Celui-ci pose le problème de la nature de la monnaie. 2) Le lien entre monnaie => [et] incertitude. Ce dernier pose le problème de la coordination en économie monétaire. En adoptant deux conceptions différentes de l'incertitude non probabilisable, les économistes autrichiens et post Keynésiens développent deux théories monétaires qui prennent en compte la dimension individuelle et sociale de la monnaie. .
The failure of neo-classical economics to integrate money in general equilibrium models - Hahn's problematic - is due to its conception of probabilistic uncertainty : i. E. , the risk. Using Keynes' and Knight's alternative definition of uncertainty, non measurable or non probabilistic uncertainty, money can truly take into account. The study of theoretical relations between money and uncertainty bring out a double causality link between the two concepts : 1) a link between uncertainty => (toward) money. It raises the question of the nature of the money. 2) a link between money => (toward) uncertainty. It poses the problem of co-ordination in a monetary economy. Firstly Austrian and post Keynesian theoreticians with two divergent conceptions of uncertainty can grasp the nature of money in its individual and social dimension. .

This thesis develops an approach to environmentally sustainable design through the hypothetical redesign of the South Loop School in Chicago. Sustainable architecture seeks to reinforce ecological relationships to the greatest extent possible, be they among humans or between humans and other species. Increasingly, pressure mounts in our society to design with such ecological sensitivity. This is especially true in regard to buildings for children- a population vulnerable to environmental problems and significantly influenced by surroundings. The design of an elementary school facility in particular also has the potential to both act sustainably and, on some level, teach sustainability. If, in addition to implementing materials that are nontoxic in ways that conserve energy, the built environment can simultaneously heighten an appreciation of the forces of nature, then it might truly be called sustainable. Thus, this thesis pushes sustainable design beyond its marginalized role of technical implementation by linking it to architectural theory about the relationship between architecture and nature. Sustainable design in this thesis attempts to translate environmentally conscious strategies into active and expressed design elements while fostering an appreciation of natural elements through architectural form.

This thesis is not a eulogy to but an analysis of and contemporary intervention into Daniel Hudson Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago. It presses the boundary of what is known, and concentrates on dissecting and analyzing extremes brought about by the polar boundaries of (re)presentation and abstraction, in order to reveal the nature of time and move closer in my personal search for the qualities of timelessness (a timeless architecture). It allows one to imagine an instance in which Daniel Burnham's Plan for Chicago is physically overlaid upon a diagram of the city today. Then makes real the thesis, that further completions of Burnham's plan could occur through the building of appropriate architectural programs upon site transformations of coincidental junctures resulting from the juxtaposition of Burnham's plan and its corresponding contemporary overlay. This definition of appropriate programming is followed by the further locating of three sites, three sites upon which a further single site believed most exemplary or appropriate for a select mixed use Regional Public Library Facility is derived. A unique program for a library facility which seeks to establish connections to the theoretical designs of Burnham's Plan as well as with the contemporary site and time specific influences and demands of an existing urban fabric.

Abstract:
The tall office building is a uniquely American invention, designed to meet the demands of industry and commerce. The technical and architectural achievements of the Chicago school of architecture marked the beginning of a new style of architecture for commercial buildings.The creative vitality that was so prevalent in Chicago was felt throughout the Midwest. Chicago style structures in a selected number of Midwestern cities are examined in the context of this thesis and these structures are promoted as historically significant to their locales and as a body of work in general. The purpose of this thesis is to document these structures and to discern the possible reasons for the dissemination of the Chicago school of architecture in the Midwest.

Abstract:
After studying modern architectural designs during my one-andone-half year residence in the United States, I have deepened my intellectual consciousness for Modern Chinese Architecture, a subject which I had previously researched through my studies in China. As a multi-national country, the United States has absorbed various foreign cultural systems, including the Chinese culture and its architecture. This has revealed itself in part through many unique "China-towns" such as those in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and other major metropolitan areas.Restricted by city planning and highway systems in the in the United States, the Chinese-like buildings in these American Chinatowns can not perfectly show the principles, philosophy and spirit of authentic Chinese architectural concepts. Rather, they are similar only on their facades by incorporating superficially reproduced symbols, responding to a pragmatic commercial need. This problem brings me to an unanswered question of how to present the Chinese concepts of space in modern architecture, and addresses the significant issues I have studied with my colleagues at the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design. After having worked both for S.O.M. in Chicago and at Ball State University I have made a new attempt to understand the philosophy and built forms of my homeland, based on this oneand-one-half year of study and new experience within western architectural design. Combining this older quest with my new experience became the focus of my thesis.

Abstract:
La thèse montre comment la sociologie des relations interethniques, inaugurée en 1913 par R. E. Park et W. I. Thomas à l'université de Chicago, s'inscrit dans la continuité des efforts des représentants des sciences sociales américaines pour dé-biologiser la notion de "race" et y substituer la notion de "culture". Cette idée a-raciste de la culture procède d'une vision pragmatiste, psychosociologique et interactionniste des identités humaines et des faits sociaux. Or, la thèse montre que l'anthropologie culturelle (Boas), la psychosociologie pragmatiste (Dewey, Mead) et la sociologie interactionniste (Cooley, Simmel) forment les trois principales sources d'inspiration théorique de la tradition de recherche sociologique de Chicago. A travers la comparaison des stratégies de rupture épistémologique avec la pensée racialiste de l'école durkheimiennne et de l'école de Chicago, la thèse démontre que c'est bien l'absence d'un concept pluraliste et dynamique de la culture qui rend le mieux compte du silence des sciences sociales françaises sur les problèmes du racisme, de l'immigration et des relations interculturelles jusqu'aux années d'après seconde guerre mondiale. En soulignant combien au coeur de cette rupture épistémologique les enjeux éthiques et idéologiques (racisme versus libéralisme) importent autant que les choix théoriques et méthodologiques (individu/société, interactionnisme/holisme), ce travail propose, partant du défi capital qu'a constitué la pensée racialiste pour les sciences sociales au 19e siècle, une vision complexe des rapports entre science et politique.

Abstract:
Cette thèse s’interroge sur la structure de l’œuvre d’Adam Smith. Elle tente de montrer que sa cohérence peut être décelée en se laissant guider par l’idée selon laquelle l’auteur s’inspire de certains des principes méthodologiques de Newton. Nous nous interrogeons sur l’évocation explicite de la gravitation, censée expliquer le fonctionnement des sociétés. Les normes sociales graviteraient en effet autour de lois naturelles, tout comme les prix de marché graviteraient autour des prix naturels ou de la valeur des marchandises. Est en outre évoquée implicitement l’existence d’une force d’attraction régissant le devenir des sociétés humaines qui tendraient, à travers le temps vers une Cité idéale. Un tel procès serait la cause de la nécessaire affirmation d’une institution de justice particulière : l’Etat. Adam Smith mettrait finalement en valeur un libéralisme de la liberté et de la justice
This thesis examines the structure underlying Adam Smith’s work. It attempts to show that its coherence may be discerned as we let ourselves be guided by the idea that some of the author’s methodological principles are drawn from Newton. We wonder about the author’s explicit evocation of gravitation which is assumed to explain the way societies work. For social norms indeed, appear to be revolving round natural laws, just as market prices are, round natural prices or round the value of commodities. There also lies the implicit evocation of a force of attraction governing the destiny of human societies that would in time, tend towards an ideal City. Such a process would then be at the root of the need for the implementation and establishment of a specific institution of justice: the state. And Adam Smith would eventually emphasize the liberalism of liberty and justice

Full text
Abstract:
L'un des avantages présumés du système de taux de change flexibles est l'insularisation des économies, c'est-à-dire la PPA, ou encore l'insensibilité du taux de change réel aux stocks nominaux des différentes monnaies. La PPA doit s'entendre comme une extension en économie ouverte du principe de neutralité de la monnaie. Si comme le suppose le monétarisme les autorités monétaires contrôlent l'évolution des stocks de monnaies, alors elles assurent du même coup la stabilité monétaire du STCF. Cette proposition est réexaminée dans un modèle d'équilibre à anticipations rationnelles reposant sur des prémices exclusivement monétaristes. Dans ce cadre, on montre que : (a) contrairement au modèle de surajustement, le différentiel de comportement entre le taux de change et les prix n'est pas du nécessairement à l'inertie des prix et peut apparaître en parallèle à la PPA en tant que propriété monétaire. (b) contrairement au modèle monétariste traditionnel, la réduction de la composante stochastique de la dynamique de la monnaie ne réduit pas nécessairement l'effet réel subséquent. De plus si la demande de biens est instable, alors cette composante est responsable de déviations persistantes par rapport à la PPA. Même dans un purement néoclassique, l'insularisation des économies en STCF n'est pas forcément assurée
One of the alleged advantages of the flexible exchange rate system is to ensure insularity of economies. This insularity is achieved when the PPP does so, which means that real exchange rate is insensitive to fluctuations in the nominal stocks of monies. PPP must be understood as an extension of the postulate of money neutrality to the open economy. If monetary economies can control fluctuations of money as monetarism let suppose it, then the "monetary" stability of the fers will be ensured. This proposition is re-examined trough the instrumentality of a rational expectations equilibrium model which is defined solely on the basis of monetarist hypothesis. So, it can be shown that : (a) contradicting the overshooting model, the differential between nominal exchange rate and prices behaviours is not the fact of prices stickiness, and can appear at the same time as PPP as a monetary standard. (b) contradicting the conventional monetarism, the control of stochastic component of the dynamic of money did imply the control of the results of this component, as this impacts are also determined by the stability of the real demand of goods

Abstract:
La comparaison des approches keynésienne et monétariste de la politique économique et monétaire montre, sur le plan théorique, une certaine convergence entre, d'une part, le courant keynésien standard et l'école du déséquilibre et, d'autre part, le modelé monétariste, en raison de leur attachement commun à la notion d'équilibre. Elle révèle également l'affirmation de la théorie postkeynésienne, qui rejette le raisonnement en termes d'équilibre et met en avant le concept d'incertitude. L'étude de la conjoncture et des politiques économiques et monétaires aux Etats-Unis entre 1979 et 1986, et en France entre 1981 et 1986, s'est attachée à dégager l'influence exercée par les doctrines keynésienne et monétariste sur l'action économique de l'état dans ces deux pays
The comparison of Keynesian and monetarist approaches of economic and monetary policy shows, on a theoretical point of view, a convergence between the standard Keynesian model and the disequilibrium theory considered together, and the monetarist school. Indeed, all these macroeconomic analysis are attached to the notion of equilibrium. This comparison also reveals the importance of the post-Keynesian theory, which refuses to develop its framework in terms of equilibrium and emphasizes the hypothesis of uncertainty. The study of the economic events and the economic and monetary policy in United States from 1979 to 1986, in France from 1981 to 1986, has tried to focus on the influence of Keynesian and monetarist ideas on policy actions in these two countries

Full text
Abstract:
The New Negro Movement, also referred to as the New Negro Renaissance or Harlem Renaissance, was a blossoming of literature, music, and visual art that took place in northern urban African American communities circa 1925 through the mid-1930s. To date, scholars examining this historical period have largely focused on the Harlem area in New York, hence the popular catchphrase used to describe the times, "the Harlem Renaissance." Certainly, Harlem artists were prolific and the work they produced was significant in the ways in which it conveyed to the public the message of racial uplift and pride in African heritage embedded within the New Negro Movement. Nevertheless, African Americans residing in other major cities, such as Chicago, also were demonstrating significant developments in all aspects of the arts. In my dissertation, "Chicago and the Visual Art of the New Negro Movement, 1920s-1940," I undertake an in-depth examination of the African American visual arts scene in Chicago during this period, and analyze the manner in which the work of Chicago artists fit into the national discourse of the New Negro Movement. The many and varied accomplishments of these artists, coupled with their roles as agents for social change, make them attractive and significant research interests, well deserving of a place in the art history canon. My dissertation will help fill an important gap in the history of American art and of the African American ‘New Negro’ period.

Full text
Abstract:

This research and methodology develop a set of statistical measurements to evaluate sustainability — in terms of desired high urban density, walkability for community amenity and convenience for everyday life — at the level of urban design for the cities of Chicago, USA and Taipei, Taiwan. The method, based upon GIS (Geographical Information System) technology, is used at this spatial level and for this type of academic study for the first time. The research analyzes and compares the percentage of each city's population living within the "Quarter Mile Radius Sphere of Influence" (QMSI) for three classes of community amenities: parks, public elementary schools, and subway stations. The new and unique statistical data obtained in this thesis show a great disparity between the two cities.

1. Chicago has 31.98% of its population living within the QMSI of public elementary schools. Taipei has 49.64% of its population living within the QMSI of public elementary schools.

2. For subway stations, Chicago has only 8.09% of its population living in the QMSI, while Taipei has 25.99%.

3. For urban parks, Chicago has 44.06% of its population living in the QMSI, while Taipei has 88.80%.

Further, based upon comparison, this research also discovers that the "sweet spot" areas — intersection of the QMSIs of all three community amenities — are mostly distributed along subway lines. With this indication, the research visualizes and supports the objective of improved public transit and walkability as key factors for sustainability in urban design in this case. The research also demonstrates the usefulness of GIS technology's new application in urban design studies for the future. The research shows that this new method has applicability for academic studies in other urban contexts, and for future international urban design and planning.

Abstract:
Notre thèse s'intéresse à la gestion par les banques centrales des bulles sur les prix d'actifs, tant durant le gonflement de la bulle qu'après son éclatement. L'accent est mis sur les comportements monétaires. Nous revenons tout d'abord sur les fondements justifiant la prise en compte des prix d'actifs par les banques centrales dans leur politique monétaire et soulignons les limites de l'intégration d'une cible de prix d'actifs dans la fonction de réaction du banquier central. La nécessité de trouver d'autres moyens de gérer les bulles que celui de cette intégration est mise en avant. Nous effectuons ensuite une analyse descriptive spatio-temporelle des politiques monétaires menées lors de cinq crises liées à la chute des prix d'actifs. Nous montrons que la stabilité de la croissance monétaire est nécessaire mais non suffisante pour assurer un retour rapide de la croissance économique. Enfin, nous étudions l'impact de l'introduction dans la fonction de réaction du banquier central d'une cible de prix de l'immobilier puis d'une cible d'encaisses réelles. Cette analyse est mise en oeuvre dans un modèle D5GE estimé par les méthodes bayésiennes pour les Etats-Unis. La modélisation inclut entre autres une bulle immobilière, des encaisses réelles et un mécanisme d'accélérateur financier. Nous trouvons qu'une cible de prix de l'immobilier n'est pas souhaitable, alors qu'une cible d'encaisses réelles limite les effets d'une bulle immobilière et de son éclatement sur l'output gap et l'inflation. Il est souligné que l'absence de monnaie dans les courbes 15 et de Phillips n'est pas suffisant pour justifier la non prise en compte de la monnaie par les banquiers centraux.

Abstract:
This creative project for the Master of Architecture degree focuses on the building design and landscape design of a urban development, in particular on the mixed cultural basis of deteriorating inner city neighborhoods in the U.S. A.I have lived in America for over two years. During this time, I acquired substantial knowledge on environments and architecture from traveling and studying. Then, I found the characteristics of a mixed culture in this country. We all know that the Chinese people are an important group in America, and they work hard to establish and contribute to the American culture, economy, and environment, now and forever. Although Chinese Americans do not comprise a large portion of the U.S. population, the Chinese patterns of architecture have had some impact on American culture as a whole. However, Chinatown has become a major element in the fabric of many cities in the U.S.A., like Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Washington D.C. For this reason, I chose to explore the design of a new environment for Chinese immigrants in the U.S.A.The topics of this thesis work are the design of the convention center and the planning of Chinatown Square Project. I tried to apply concepts from the Chinese culture, my experience, and professional education in Taiwan, the Republic of China and America. Therefore, the site plan of Chinatown Square Project was designed according to the Chinese Courtyard System. The tower shape of the hotel of the convention center is the transition of the Pagoda. Moreover, the idea of the curved roof comes from the Chinese bowl and tile. Finally, I merged a western feel, and an eastern spirit in the whole design process.I dedicate this thesis to the community of Chinatown in Chicago and America.

Abstract:
"No individual building in particular can be the answer to all problems, but all the buildings together, the city,the urban and rural environment will serve and contain the flexible,the changing, the temperamental and growing needs of humanity as a whole." Emerson IThe intention of this creative project is to explore the idea of "The Way" as a means to explore different aspects of our environment and how to experience those in their overall context. I understand "The Way" as a circulation space as well as a spatial sequence of events and experiences, a spiritual quest, a methodical approach, and a physical activity. In short, "The Way" is a multilayered experience space which affects your whole personality. My thesis is an approach to understand architecture as a greater whole which includes and connects all layers, all aspects of life and being.The project attempts to put into architectural perspective an understanding, meaning and context of architecture as a part of a broader realm of ideas and interpretations, influencing and being influenced by the people that use and create the built environment, dependent of and important for every aspect of our society. Always in a constant flux.nThe metaphor of a melody is explored as an abstract, theoretical background as well as a programmatic base of my design. It is composed of different layers and the image of the labyrinth of life. From an architectural and sociological outlook, this means being able to understand the relations of that melody and to respect it's necessity, - to rediscoverthe lost diversity of use, meaning and form.This paper is presented in three parts:First, the introduction and description of the motivation, second the description of all the different layers/sequences, emotional and theoretical ones, which are included in the research; the last part describes the rearrangement of those single sequences together as a whole and their transformation into the architectural design exploration, the final conclusion, my impressions on the process and the conclusion.

L'intention première de cette thèse est d'apporter des éléments de compréhension de la vie sociale urbaine, en montrant qu'on ne peut séparer les raisons de celle-ci et plus généralement de la ville du mode de raisonnement qu'on lui applique. Cette recherche s'organise alors autour de trois axes complémentaires : - un axe historique, visant à explorer comment la sociologie a construit son savoir sur la ville, et plus précisément sur la socialité urbaine. Cette partie examine principalement l'appel de l'école de Chicago, des études de communauté, et de la sociologie urbaine française. - un axe théorique qui partant de l'oporie des concepts (sociologisme, individualisme, interactionnisme) inspirant les travaux sur la socialité urbaine, propose un modèle théorique d'une sociologie de la personne, celle-ci étant conçue comme le principe même de la construction du social et de ses univers, - un axe empirique dans lequel la recherche tire parti de la situation spécifique - quasi-expérimentale - de l'habitat résidentiel (enquêtes effectuées sur cinq quartiers de Rennes) pour caractériser la socialité urbaine contemporaine, dominée par la connexité (cohabitation) aux dépens de la communauté.

Abstract:
The aim of this dissertation was to research, through a comparative architectural analysis,whether the two urban districts Camden Town in north London and Greater Grand Crossing in south Chicago have or have not been gentrified and, if so, what kind of gentrification process they have gone through. The study was based on three questions: what buildings have been transformed in each area? How have the buildings been transformed? Have the functionsof the city districts been transformed with any particular focus in mind? The study found that Camden Town has been tourist gentrified, since the primary focus of the gentrification process was towards tourism and entertainment businesses where old Victorian, industrial buildings were transformed into venues for live music, shops and markets. In the case of Greater Grand Crossing however, it is not possible to establish that the area has been gentrified. Chicagoan artist Theaster Gates transformed several residential houses as part of a project, some of which remained residential, and some were made into spaces for cultural activities. However, the focus of the transformation was towards the already existing population and not towards potential gentrifiers.

Full text
Abstract:
En 1881, un atelier d'architecture est fondé à l'École nationale des beaux-arts d'Alger. Jusqu'en 1940, les programmes, les concours, ainsi que les jugements et les récompenses dépendent de patrons et de jurys locaux. À partir de 1940, l'atelier devient régional et intègre le giron de l'École des beaux-arts de Paris. C'est la seule structure appartenant à l'empire colonial français à s'être vu accorder ce statut. Alors que l'évolution des pensées architecturales et urbaines d'Alger durant la période française a fait l'objet de nombreuses recherches, l'histoire de la formation des architectes dans cette ville est quant à elle demeurée inexplorée. Cette thèse vient donc lever le voile existant autour du modèle pédagogique développé en Algérie. Elle examine en particulier la période entre 1909 et 1962. Ces limites chronologiques correspondent à la fois à une période mieux documentée et à deux moments importants pour l'institution architecturale. En effet, l'année 1909, marque la nomination du premier architecte français natif d'Algérie à la tête de l'atelier d'architecture. Cet avènement est le point de départ d'un enseignement de l'architecture plus structuré et mieux organisé. Quant à l'année 1962, elle signe la fin de la présence française en Algérie et la naissance de l'école algérienne. Cette recherche, qui fait confluer histoire de l'enseignement en France et histoire de la colonisation, s'est notamment construite sur les interrogations suivantes : quelle forme l'enseignement de l'architecture en Algérie a-t-il revêtu durant la période coloniale? Transplantation à l'identique du modèle pédagogique instauré par les Beaux-Arts de Paris, adaptation ou refondation? Quelle part a pris la dimension régionale dans l'éducation architecturale diffusée en Algérie ? L'intérêt de cette thèse est de situer l'enseignement prodigué à l'atelier d'architecture d'Alger par rapport au modèle pédagogique des Beaux-Arts de Paris, et de le replacer dans le contexte général de l'émergence d'une identité architecturale propre à la colonie. Au travers d'une analyse comparée entre la pédagogie diffusée à Paris et à Alger, cette recherche démontre qu'une structure formant à l'art de bâtir est indissociable du territoire qui l'abrite, de la population qui la fréquente, ainsi que de l'environnement politique et culturel qui l'entoure. Par ailleurs, cette thèse contribue à mettre à jour les transferts culturels et professionnels qui s'opèrent entre la métropole et sa « périphérie »
In 1881, an atelier (studio) was founded at the École des Beaux-Arts in Algiers. Up until 1940, programs, concours, as well as judgments and rewards have depended on masters and local juries. From 1940, the atelier has been regional and included the bosom of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. This is the only structure belonging to the French colonial empire to have been granted this status. While the evolution of architectural and urban ideas in colonial Algiers was the subject of much research, the history of architectural education in this city has meanwhile remained unexplored. This thesis comes therefore to lift the existing veil around the pedagogical model developed in Algeria. It examines in particular the period between 1909 and 1962. These chronological limits correspond to both a period that is better documented and to two important moments for the architectural institution. Indeed, the year 1909 marked the appointment of the first French architect born in Algeria as the head of the architectural studio. This advent is the starting point for a more structured and better organized teaching of architecture. As for the year 1962, it signaled the end of the French presence in Algeria and the birth of the Algerian school. The interest is to place the education provided at the studio of architecture in Algiers in relation to the pedagogical system of the Beaux-Arts in Paris, and to replace it in the broader context of the emergence of an architectural identity that is specific to the colony. This research, which converge the history of architectural education in France and the history of colonization, is notably built on the following questions: what form has the teaching of architecture in Algeria taken during the colonial period? Was the transplantation identical to the pedagogical model introduced by the Beaux-Arts in Paris, adaptation or rebuilding? What part has the regional dimension taken in the architectural education disseminated in Algeria? Through a comparative analysis between the pedagogy disseminated in Paris and in Algiers, this research shows that a structure forming in the art of building is inseparable from the territory that houses it, the population that attends it, and the political and cultural environment that surrounds it. Furthermore, this thesis contributes to updating the cultural and professionals exchanges that operate between France and its colony

Abstract:
Cette thèse explore l'élargissement du champ d’analyse de la science économique hors de ses frontières traditionnelles, vers l’étude de phénomènes aussi divers que la discrimination, le comportement politique ou encore les comportements familiaux. Nous soutenons qu’une telle évolution s’accompagna de l’élargissement du domaine d’intervention de l’Etat aux Etats-Unis à partir de la deuxième moitié des années 1940, qui stimula l’émergence de questions « aux frontières » des sciences sociales. Ainsi, la perception de ce qui relève de l’économique, du social ou du politique s’en trouva brouillée. En retour, ces évolutions favorisèrent le franchissement des barrières disciplinaires par les économistes. Nous identifions trois étapes distinctes dans l’évolution du champ d’analyse de la science économique. Premièrement, dans un contexte marqué par la Guerre Froide, les économistes s’intéressèrent aux questions relevant du domaine traditionnel de la science politique, telles que celles du choix collectif. Deuxièmement, a partir du début des années 1960, mais surtout durant le mandat de Lyndon Johnson, les économistes s’intéressèrent progressivement à l’étude des problèmes sociaux en lien avec la notion de pauvreté, tels que la discrimination, l’éducation, le crime ou encore la santé. Enfin, dans les années 1970, le dernier stade de l’évolution des frontières de la science économique fut marqué par la disparition progressive de barrières thématiques a priori. Forts du succès de leurs analyses du politique et du social, certains économistes défendirent l’idée que leur discipline n’était plus définie par un domaine d’analyse, mais par ses outils
This thesis studies the expansion of the scope of economics to the study of phenomena traditionally considered to lie outside of the domain of economics. We claim that such a development came with the expansion of the domain of government intervention from the late 1940s on, which raised interdisciplinary questions. What was considered to be “economic”, “social” or “political” phenomena evolved and blurred. In return, this stimulated economists to overstep the traditional disciplinary boundaries. We identify three steps in the expansion of the scope of economics. First, in the context of the Cold War society, economists progressively studied political phenomena such as the problem of collective choice. Second, in the 1960s, and more precisely during Lyndon Johnson’s presidency, economists became progressively interested in the study of social problems related to the notion of poverty, such as discrimination, education, crime or public health. Finally, in the 1970s, the last step of the development of the scope of economics was characterized by the progressive fading of any a priori disciplinary boundaries. Vindicated by the success of their economic approach to political and social phenomena, some economists argued that their discipline was not defined by its field of analysis, but rather by its tools

Abstract:
Notre étude s’intéresse à l’agence André entre 1929 et 1973, période d’activité des frères Jacques et Michel André, architecte et ingénieur. Nous interrogeons leur production dans son contexte spatial et historique, à la lumière des notions de filiations et de réseaux. Issus d’une importante dynastie d’architectes en Lorraine, ils bénéficient d’un héritage à la fois matériel et intellectuel. Cet ancrage, soutenu par la foisonnante École de Nancy du début du siècle, favorise les réseaux de proximité comme les échanges culturels internationaux. Les frères André prolongent ce dynamisme critique en s’impliquant dans le Comité Nancy-Paris,l’Union des artistes modernes et la revue L’Architecture d’aujourd’hui. Dans l’Entre-deux guerres,ils sont les premiers architectes à collaborer durablement avec Jean Prouvé, avant d’associer à l’agence Claude, le fils de ce dernier, dans les années 1960. Proche des entrepreneurs locaux, les deux frères questionnent la valeur constructive de l’architecture :ils s’attachent à atteindre la perfection technique et expérimentent les matériaux. Cette recherche traverse leur production, depuis leur première grande réalisation, l’Institut de zoologie, inspiré par les procédés de Frank Lloyd Wright, jusqu’au musée de l’Histoire du fer,symbole de gloire industrielle régionale. Tandis que les années 1930 constituent une période d’intense créativité, l’agence développe après-guerre les outils nécessaires pour faire face à une commande massive, notamment postale, et se met en quête de productivité. L’agence des frères André constitue ainsi un témoin privilégié des bouleversements de la production architecturale au cours du XXème siècle
Our study focuses on the André agency between 1929 and 1973, period of activity of thebrothers Jacques and Michel André, architect and engineer. We question their production inits spatial and historical context, in the light of the notions of filiation and networks. Comingfrom a large dynasty of architects in Lorraine, they benefit from both material and intellectuallegacy. This rooting, supported by the teeming École de Nancy in the early century,promotes close networks as well as international cultural exchanges. The André brothersextend this critical dynamic by getting involved in the Comité Nancy-Paris, the Union desartistes modernes (UAM) and the L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui magazine. During the Interwarperiod, they were the first architects to work sustainably with Jean Prouvé, before associatingClaude, the son of the later, to the agency in the 1960s. Close to local building contractors,the two brothers question the constructive value of architecture: they focus on reaching ontechnical perfection and experimentation on materials. This research goes through theirproduction, since their first major achievement, the Institute of Zoology, inspired by FrankLloyd Wright’s processes, to the museum of iron history, symbol of the region's industrialglory. While the 1930s are a period of creativity, the agency develops postwar the toolsneeded to face intense order, in particular postal, and shifts toward a quest for productivity.The André agency thus constitutes a privileged witness to the upheavals of architecturalproduction during the 20th century

Abstract:
Cette thèse traite deux questions fondamentales du passé récent du Chili. La première est la profonde transformation économique et sociale vécue entre 1973 et 2003, en d'autres termes la période qui inclut le régime militaire et les trois premiers gouvernements de la transition démocratique. La deuxième se réfère à l'évolution de la pensée libérale économique au Chili, et à l'apparition d'une nouvelle élite patronale formée à l'image du discours des économistes néoclassiques. Afin de situer la profondeur des changements vécus dans le pays depuis 1973, cette recherche remonte aux débuts du XIXe siècle, quand arrivent au Chili les premières idées issues du libéralisme économique, puis à la décennie de 1930 lorsque se crée le modèle de l’« État de compromis ». Cependant, l'analyse est centrée sur l'origine et l'essor des « Chicago Boys » en tant que gestionnaires de la transformation économique du Chili -comprise comme un genre particulier de violence -et des changements importants qui se produisirent au sein de l'élite dirigeante du pays (1973 -2003). Enfin, la thèse aborde l'utilisation du passé récent dans les stratégies du pouvoir et les représentations de la nouvelle élite par rapport aux imaginaires d'une société articulée autour du modèle du libre marché
This thesis deal with two fundamentals questions regarding Chile's recent past. The first one is the profound economical and social transformation Iived between 1973 and 2003, that is to say the period that includes the military regime and the first three governments of the democratic transition. The second one refers to the evolution of the liberal economical thought in Chile, and the rising of a new entrepreneurial elite formed at the image of the neoclassical economists discourse. To situate the deepness of the changes that occurred in the country since 1973, the research goes back to the beginnings of the XIXth century when arrive to Chile the first ideas on economical liberalism, as well as the 1930 decade when the model of the «State of Compromise » is sealed. However, the analysis is centered on the origins and development of the « Chicago Boys» as managers of Chile's economical transformation understood as a different type of violence and the important changes produced inside the leading elite of the country (1973-2003). Finally, the thesis examines the uses of the recent past in the strategies of power and the representations of the new elite concerning the imaginaries of a society articulated around a free market model

L’étude des entretiens compilés par Lebas a permis une interprétation de la tentative d’écrire et d’illustrer une histoire de l’architecture. De cette interprétation émergent également les aspects d’un enseignement multiple, étendu, fondé sur l’intégration des préceptes théoriques et des règles pratiques, déduits d’un modèle antique absolu et d’une expérience de projet: c’est l’expression de la recherche d’une nouvelle architecture

Lebas’ teaching fits in a project aiming at a systematic classification of different periods and styles in the history of architecture. Basing himself upon sources and references, he defines and precisely identifies the professor of history of architecture’s role and the value of this discipline. The study of Lebas’ « entretiens » made an interpretation possible of his effort to write and illustrate a history of architecture. This interpretation also revealed the aspects of a multiple and extended teaching based on the integration of theorectical precepts and practical rules deduced from an absolute ancient model and from project experience, which is the expression of the search for a « new architecture »

L'evolution de la classe d'architecture trouve son aboutissement dans la creation de l'ecole regionale d'architecture en 1905. La deuxieme partie souligne l'evolution historique de la classe d'architecture par l'analyse sociologique et statistique de la population des eleves a travers plusieurs criteres (age, origine geographique, origine sociale, duree et reussite dans les etudes, orientation professionnelle). Cela permet de suivre la transformation du role de la classe d'architecture, destinee au depart a former des artisans au dessin de l'ornement puis recentree sur la formation des architectes.

Le travail s'interroge sur la transformation de l'histoire de l'architecture et des concepts historiographiques entre 1863- année ou est mise en place la réforme pédagogique de l'école des Beaux-Arts- et 1914, qui constitut inévitablement un moment de césure, tant dans l'enseignement que dans l'édition. Peu à peu, de Huyot à Magne, de Reynaud à Choisy, se profile la volonté de transformer l'histoire de l'architecture en une discipline autonome ayant un objet d'étude, des objectifs et des méthodes spécifiques, et dont le rôle ne serait plus celui d'une discipline auxiliaire aux autres branches historiques (politiques ou littéraires), comme la paléographie ou la numismatique. La volonté d'élaborer une méthodologie "scientifique" se heurte aux liens avec la pratique architecturale, comme à la désorientation d'une profession à la recherche d'un style caractéristique du siècle. Les objectifs des auteurs, leurs approches analytiques et leurs stratégies iconographiques s'avèrent les enjeux majeurs de cette transformation
The subject of this study is the transformation of history of architecture and of the historiographical conceptions between 1863, date of the pedagogical reform at the parisian ecole des beaux-arts, and 1914, date that signifies a break in teaching and publishing. From huyot to Magne, from Reynaud to Choisy, history of architecture aims more and more to become an independant matter. This research of autonomy means to define clearly the fields of inquiries, the objectives and particular methods. History of architecture refuses to provide only auxiliary knowledge to illustrate political or literary history, to be confined to the same existence as numismatical studies for example. Archeology, comparative anatomy and other sciences supply important models. But for the architects or engineers a major difficulty exists : they need to define the links between a scientific' history and the architectural pratice, searching desperately for the caracteristic style of their own century. The most important items of this transformation studied here are the aims and ideas of the authors, their analytical methods, their conception of classification and their manner of using images and illustrations

Abstract:
Inquiétée par les récentes métamorphoses de l’habitation humaine toujours en devenir, la thèse propose d’interroger l’idée philosophique d’habiter dans ses lignes critiques. Par delà la réduction binaire que sous-tend la capacité de différenciation de la notion (ce qui serait habitable, ce qui ne le serait pas), elle voudrait mettre à jour des formes plus complexes d’explicitations des divers accompagnements et résistances aux processus habitationnels. Pour ce faire, la recherche déploie d’une part une reconstruction dialogique de l’idée d’habiter, et d’autre part une mise en résonance de cette proposition avec l’étude de la pensée du philosophe Günther Anders. Au travers des notions de conformisation, de « dividu », de familiarisation, ou encore de livraison du monde, elle cherche à faire voir la façon dont, aujourd’hui, les polarités habitationnelles peuvent concrètement être « mises en difficulté » par des dispositifs spatiaux, mais aussi par des appareils techniques et structures sociétales ou culturelles. En cela, l’étude travaille à l’établissement d’une nouvelle lecture des rapports complexes à envisager entre architectures, habitations, et responsabilités à l’heure de la modernité-liquide. Modeste prémisse d’une forme de « théorie critique des milieux habités » contemporains, elle cherche à fonder une somme d’éléments capable de mettre à jour l’habitation comme « valeur éthique » et d’éclairer la pensée vers de potentielles postures architecturales mais aussi habitantes. Esquissant par là les contours et contenus de ce que pourrait être une paradoxale mais nécessaire éthique de l’habitation
The research aims at questioning the inhabitation philosophical idea in its critical contents. Beyond its binary reduction (inhabilitability : what would be inhabitable, and what may be un-inhabitable), it tries to shape more complex explainations of the different resistances to the inhabitations processes. To do so, the research first construct a dialogic structure of the « inhabitation » philosophical notion. Then, it put it in relation to the philosophical thinking of Günther Anders. Through the notions of conformisation, of « dividu », or the one of « familiarization », it wants to show how human inhabitation polarities can be difficult to realize in certains spatial configurations, with certains technological disposals, or inside certain societies or cultural structures. In all this, the study tries to establish a new reading of the complex relations that stands between architectures, inhabitations and responsabilities inside the liquid modernity we live in. Introduction of a larger « critical theory of milieus », it works at constructing a series of elements capable of representing inhabitation as a ethical value, as much as bringing the thinking to new potentialities.

Ce travail de thèse propose d’examiner les relations entre les processus historiques de production des cultures constructives traditionnelles, les processus de production des technologies au cœur du système industriel capitaliste et les nouveaux processus de production de technologies - collectives, solidaires, conscientes et soutenables - dans la production de l’habitat rural brésilien, de façon à nous fournir des pistes sur le développement de processus embryonnaires de production de nouvelles « cultures constructives contemporaines ». Notre question principale cherche à analyser dans quelles circonstances les processus de production de « nouvelles technologies » se présentent comme alternatives au déterminisme historique du processus de production industriel/capitaliste, favorisant des mécanismes de développement local, au sein de communautés rurales, principalement dans la production de leur habitat. Dans un premier temps, nous proposons de tisser une réflexion sur les notions de cultures constructives, en cherchant à relever des éléments qui nous fournissent des supports pour mieux comprendre comment certaines sociétés ont pu produire des « technologies » à un moment historique précis, adaptées à leur propre contexte culturel et environnemental, que les gens se sont appropriées et qui ont évolué, étant de ce fait légitimées et reproduites par les générations successives. Dans un deuxième temps, nous traiterons de la mutation de ce processus en un nouveau modèle de production, désormais convenu et hégémonique, fondé sur la rationalisation technique des systèmes de production, l'accentuation de la division sociale du travail, la fragmentation et spécialisation des processus productifs, entre autres facteurs, et de ses conséquences et implications. Enfin, dans un troisième moment, nous essaierons de nourrir la réflexion existante qui cherche à favoriser de nouveaux processus de production de technologies, ne pouvant pas être simplement considérées ou développées en tant qu’alternatives, basées dans la négation ou l’opposition aux caractéristiques présentes dans les technologies dites “conventionnelles”, mais qui peuvent contenir des principes, valeurs et caractéristiques autrefois présents dans les cultures constructives traditionnelles. A partir du dialogue réflexif entre ces différentes mais complémentaires bases de recherche, nous analyserons quelques expériences réalisées dans des communautés rurales brésiliennes, en tissant des réflexions critiques sur les processus de production de leur habitat
This thesis takes as its analytical perspective the contemporary manifestations of vernacular architecture production and building cultures within the complex correlation of forces and interests that shape and determine the phenomena of capitalist production of popular housing.The analytic framework is delineated from a series of reflections of theoretical and conceptual order, in relation to the analysis of a popular housing building site within an agrarian reform rural settlement in Brazil. This assumes the form of a field school in loco on the building site and is projected as a stage for experiments and experiences, where the proposal is to combine pedagogy and production in the same space. The processes of knowledge formation and construction occur simultaneously and complementarily to practical achievements and development of technologies.This building site is thus transformed into a tool for the constitution of a dialectical space of social work, where the orientation of its productive experimenting is focused on the challenge of designing a house from the local generation of social technologies, through the use of natural materials and reuse of discarded resources. A theoretical work, presented in the initial of the thesis, provides the framework for this fieldwork, which feeds back our reflection on processes of production and development of new vernacular architectures, integrated into their territories
Esta tese possui como perspectiva de análise as manifestações contemporâneas de produção das arquiteturas vernáculas e culturas construtivas, dentro da complexa correlação de forças e interesses que formatam e determinam os fenômenos de produção capitalista das habitações populares. Seu contorno analítico está delineado a partir de uma série de reflexões de ordem teórico-conceituais relacionadas com as análises de um canteiro habitacional dentro de um assentamento rural de reforma agrária. Este, assume a forma de um canteiro-escola e se projeta como palco de experimentações e vivências, onde se propõe como prática o exercício de conjugar pedagogia e produção no mesmo espaço. Os processos de formação e construção dos conhecimentos ocorrem de maneira complementar e simultânea às realizações práticas e ao desenvolvimento das tecnologias. Tal canteiro se transforma, assim, em ferramenta para constituição de um espaço dialético de trabalho social, onde o experimentar produtivo está focado no desafio de conceber uma habitação a partir da geração local de tecnologias sociais, por meio do uso de materiais naturais e da reutilização de recursos descartados. O trabalho teórico, apresentado nas primeiras partes da tese, define o quadro de sua práxis, que por sua vez, realimenta a reflexão sobre os processos de produção e desenvolvimento de novas formas de arquiteturas vernáculas, integradas aos seus territórios

Abstract:
Notre étude s’intéresse à l’agence André entre 1929 et 1973, période d’activité des frères Jacques et Michel André, architecte et ingénieur. Nous interrogeons leur production dans son contexte spatial et historique, à la lumière des notions de filiations et de réseaux. Issus d’une importante dynastie d’architectes en Lorraine, ils bénéficient d’un héritage à la fois matériel et intellectuel. Cet ancrage, soutenu par la foisonnante École de Nancy du début du siècle, favorise les réseaux de proximité comme les échanges culturels internationaux. Les frères André prolongent ce dynamisme critique en s’impliquant dans le Comité Nancy-Paris,l’Union des artistes modernes et la revue L’Architecture d’aujourd’hui. Dans l’Entre-deux guerres,ils sont les premiers architectes à collaborer durablement avec Jean Prouvé, avant d’associer à l’agence Claude, le fils de ce dernier, dans les années 1960. Proche des entrepreneurs locaux, les deux frères questionnent la valeur constructive de l’architecture :ils s’attachent à atteindre la perfection technique et expérimentent les matériaux. Cette recherche traverse leur production, depuis leur première grande réalisation, l’Institut de zoologie, inspiré par les procédés de Frank Lloyd Wright, jusqu’au musée de l’Histoire du fer,symbole de gloire industrielle régionale. Tandis que les années 1930 constituent une période d’intense créativité, l’agence développe après-guerre les outils nécessaires pour faire face à une commande massive, notamment postale, et se met en quête de productivité. L’agence des frères André constitue ainsi un témoin privilégié des bouleversements de la production architecturale au cours du XXème siècle
Our study focuses on the André agency between 1929 and 1973, period of activity of thebrothers Jacques and Michel André, architect and engineer. We question their production inits spatial and historical context, in the light of the notions of filiation and networks. Comingfrom a large dynasty of architects in Lorraine, they benefit from both material and intellectuallegacy. This rooting, supported by the teeming École de Nancy in the early century,promotes close networks as well as international cultural exchanges. The André brothersextend this critical dynamic by getting involved in the Comité Nancy-Paris, the Union desartistes modernes (UAM) and the L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui magazine. During the Interwarperiod, they were the first architects to work sustainably with Jean Prouvé, before associatingClaude, the son of the later, to the agency in the 1960s. Close to local building contractors,the two brothers question the constructive value of architecture: they focus on reaching ontechnical perfection and experimentation on materials. This research goes through theirproduction, since their first major achievement, the Institute of Zoology, inspired by FrankLloyd Wright’s processes, to the museum of iron history, symbol of the region's industrialglory. While the 1930s are a period of creativity, the agency develops postwar the toolsneeded to face intense order, in particular postal, and shifts toward a quest for productivity.The André agency thus constitutes a privileged witness to the upheavals of architecturalproduction during the 20th century

Abstract:
Le dessin industriel est lié aux contrariétés artistiques et techniques, craintes des dessinateurs, lieux d’enseignement. Dynamique sociale, œuvres caritatives des Écoles alsaciennes et lorraines chevauchent données historiques, industrielles et artistiques. Les Arts and Crafts opposant vernaculaire et académisme en 1861, les architectures scolaires s’ouvraient à l’utilitaire du dessin, sociologie technique, monde, l’histoire de l’art à la spiritualité et l’anthropologie. Médiocrité et perfection reliant dessin et enseignement en 1970. Avec l’académisme et la fusion des arts du Moyen Âge, les industriels de 1919 portent les mutations culturelles, sociales, politiques et économiques. En Alsace, les Kœchlin, Dollfus, de Dietrich forment les dessinateurs. Perfection, simplicité, humanité industrielle, difformités du dessin, fusion art-vie font jaillir l’humanité du design en 1960-1970, commençant par la transformation des écoles en 1960. En 1975, arts plastiques au lieu du dessin, professeurs, administrations disent les difficultés en France. De 1861 à 1975 les établissements s’écartent des environnements et de l’individualité. En France les concours d’Écoles d’ingénieurs montrent l’explosion de la formation commune. L’intérêt pour l’aspect utilitaire du dessin (technique) ne s’efface pas ; environnements, simplicité du dessin de bricoleur transforment l’attention au dessin noyé en 1969 dans l’industrial design. Mal-fait dissipant peine, travail et risque
Industrial design is connected to artistic and technical conflicts, designers’ fears, educational facilities. Social dynamic, offers, charities of Alsace and Lorraine Schools overlap historical, industrial and artistic data. Arts and Crafts confronting vernacular and academicism in 1861, school buildings opened to utilitarian design, technical sociology,world, history of art, spirituality and anthropology. Mediocrity and perfection joining drawing and teaching in 1970. With the academicism and the merger of arts of the Middle Ages, the1919’s manufacturers carried the cultural, social, political and economic transformations, like the Kœchlin, the Dollfus or the de Dietrich who trained designers in Alsace. Perfection, simplicity, industrial humanity, design de formities, fusion of art and life produce the humanity of design in the 1960’s and 1970’s, beginning with the transformation of schools in the1960’s. In 1975, arts plastiques instead of drawing, professors and administrations reveal the difficulties in France. From 1861 to 1975 institutions deviate from environment and individuality. In France, Engineering Schools’ competitive exam shows the explosion of general education. The interest in the utilitarian aspect of the (technical) design does not disappear; environment, simplicity of bricoleur’s drawing transformed the attention to drawing encased in the industrial design in 1969.

La recherche souligne l’importance patrimonial des Écoles d’Apprentis et d’Artisans (Escolas de Aprendizes e Artífices - EAAs) brésiliennes, en se concentrant sur l’École d’Apprentis et d’Artisans de la Parahyba (EAA-PB). Ces écoles fut crées de l'ancienne République Fédérative du Brésil, dans un contexte de politiques publiques de promotion de projets éducatifs professionnels (Décret-loi nº. 7 566 du 23 septembre 1909). Les objectifs de l'État Fédéral étaient multiples : répondre la fois une demande de main-d'œuvre industrielle qualifiée et à la fois contenir les mouvements des jeunes et émeutes provoqués par le chômage. Ce projet du gouvernement fédéral a permis la création de dix-neuf écoles professionnelles, ceux-là réparties stratégiquement dans tout le pays. Dans ce contexte d’industrialisation et de modernisation des villes brésiliennes, le style néocolonial fut un des langages architecturaux utilisés. Cette recherche s'intéresse la création de ces institutions brésiliennes avec un focus sur l’EAA-PB. L’étude vise : documenter la valeur incontestée de ce patrimoine éducatif et industriel à travers d’un regard social, politique et architectural ; étudier comment les écoles professionnelles étrangères (nord-américaines et français) de la fin du XIXe siècle et début du XXe siècle influencèrent les École d’Apprentis et d’Artisans. Pour cette recherche, nous avons compilée des données historiques, des relevés architecturaux, des registres iconographiques et éducatifs. Le résultat de ce travail a eu pour but fournir un document qui démontrai l'importance de l’EAAs au développement de l’enseignement professionnel à niveaux national et international; ABSTRACT: The research highlights the importance of the cultural heritage of the Brazilian Schools of Apprentices and Artificers (Escolas de Aprendizes e Artífices - EAAs), focusing on the Parahyba School of Apprentices and Artificers (EAA-PB). These schools were created in the former Federal Republic of Brazil, in a context of public policies and promotion of professional educational projects (Decree-Law No. 7,566 of September 23, 1909). The Federal State had two objectives with this program: to respond to a national demand for skilled labor and to contain riots and rebellions of young people caused by poverty and unemployment. This federal government program allowed the creation of nineteen vocational schools, which would be strategically distributed throughout the country. In this context of industrialization and modernization of the Brazilian cities, the neocolonial style was one of the architectural languages used. Thus, this research is interested in the creation of these institutions in Brazil with a focus on EAA-PB. This study aims to document the incontestable value of this educational and industrial heritage through a social, political and architectural view and to study how North American and French vocational schools from the end of the 19th century and beginning of 20th century influenced the Schools of Apprentices and Artifices. For this research we compiled historical data, architectural surveys, iconographic and educational records. The intention of this work is to write a document to clarify the importance of EAAs in the development of vocational education at both national and international levels; RESUMO: A pesquisa destaca a importância patrimonial das Escolas de Aprendizes e Artífices (EAAs) brasileiras, tendo como foco a Escola de Aprendizes e Artífices da Parahyba (EAAPB). Essas escolas foram criadas na antiga República Federativa do Brasil, em um contexto de políticas públicas e promoção de projetos educativos de cunho profissionalizante (DecretoLei nº 7.566, de 23 de setembro de 1909). O Estado Federal possuía objetivos múltiplos com esse programa : responder a uma demande nacional de mão-de-obra qualificada e conter motins e rebeliões de jovens provocados pela probreza e pelo desemprego. Esse programa do governo federal permitiu a criação de dezenove escolas profissionalizantes, que seriam estrategicamente distribuidas em todo o país. Nesse contexto de industrialização e modernização das cidades brasileiras, o estilo neocolonial foi uma das linguagens arquitetônicas utilizadas. Assim, essa pesquisa se interessa pela criação dessas instituições no Brasil com foco na EAA-PB. Ela visa: documentar o valor inconteste desse patrimônio educativo e industrial através de um olhar social, político e arquitetônico; estudar como as escolas profissionalizantes estrangeiras (norte americanas e francesas) do final do século XIX e início so século XX influenciaram as Escolas de Aprendizes e Artífices. Para isso, compilamos dados históricos, levantamentos arquitetônicos, registros iconográficos e educacionais. O resultado desse trabalho teve como finalidade construir um documento que trousesse à luz a importância das EAAs no desenvolvimento do ensino profissionalizante à nível nacional e internacional.

Abstract:
Le château d'Ancy-le-Franc fut construit pour Antoine de Clermont d'après des plans de Sebastiano Serlio. En 1546, le château était élevé au niveau du premier étage et sa construction prenait fin vers 1550. Dès l'achèvement du gros œuvre, Antoine de Clermont se préoccupa du décor de l'intérieur de sa demeure et tenta pour ce faire d'attirer des artistes de premier plan : Primatice et Nicolo dell'Abate. Au décès d'Antoine de Clermont en 1579, Ancy-le-Franc revint à son petit-fils, Charles-Henry de Clermont-Tonnerre. Ce dernier entreprit à son tour une vaste campagne de décoration qui commença un peu avant 1596. Les décors furent, pour un certain nombre, marqués sur le plan stylistique par les peintures appartenant à la seconde école de Fontainebleau. Grâce à une étude stylistique, nous avons pu attribuer cinq ensembles décoratifs de cette seconde campagne à Nicolas de Hoey, peintre d'origine flamande installé à Dijon
The chateau at Ancy-le-Franc was built for Antoine de Clermont to plans by Sebastiano Serlio. In 1546 the chateau had reached the level of the first floor and its construction was completed by around 1550. As soon as the main fabric was finished, Antoine de Clermont turned his attention to the interior decoration of his residence, doing his best to attract first-class artists to the site: Primatice and Nicolo dell'Abbate. On the death of Antoine de Clermont (1579), Ancy-le-Franc became the property of his grandson, Charles-Henry de Clermont-Tonnerre. The latter launched in his turn a grandiose campaign of decoration which began shortly before 1596. That is how certain of the decorative cycles executed at Ancy-le-Franc were influenced by paintings belonging to the Second School of Fontainebleau. Using a stylistic approach, we have been able to attribute five decorative cycles of this second campaign to Nicolas de Hoey, a painter of Flemish origin established in Dijon

Abstract:
Chicago's turn-of-the-century social settlements, most notably Hull House, have long been considered the mainstay of American progressive reforms. Yet settlement houses were but one aspect of a wide-ranging set of architectural and spatial inventions that used certain kinds of familiar imagery to build public support for innovative social ambitions. This dissertation connects the major settlement house designs of Chicago architect Dwight Perkins with the parks, recreation centers, playgrounds, and public schools he designed during these same years. It also situates Perkins among the extraordinary group of Chicago reformers who were transforming philanthropy, education, public health, municipal government, and the urban environment. The portrait that emerges is one where architecture and civic space were indelibly bound up with and helped to advance transformative social changes. Chicago was the epicenter of American progressive reforms. Both theoretical and practical, these extended across a broad range of issues from education to women's rights, political participation to public health, the natural environment to municipal reforms, social psychology to the social sciences. Embracing most of these aspirations, Perkins took up familiar civic typologies and gave them a new purpose that can be described, most concisely, as democratic social centers. To some extent, they could be compared with the "social condensers" of contemporary Soviet Union, architecture intended to help generate, or at least facilitate, major social and political transformation. Yet Perkins was not an ideologue. He adjusted his own beliefs to the particular, and often rather cautious, attitudes of various clients and constituencies. By and large, the tensions focused on several related issues that were inherent difficulties in the American progressive movement: a desire for bureaucratic efficiency that leaned towards restricted budgets and standardized types; a desire to transform society that contravened an abiding faith in contingent, piecemeal change; and a desire for expansive democratic participation that ran up against a deep suspicion of the immigrant populations that were flooding into American cities, especially in Chicago where foreign-born individuals or children of immigrants made of 77% of the population in 1900. While interested in intellectual debate about education, social psychology, and political reforms, Perkins was a pragmatist. He wanted the chance to create architecture that could be tested, discovering the most feasible and effective ways to bring about widespread social progress. He applied his ideals about social democracy, education, and the environment in various contexts and in different ways, always remaining open to experimentation, collaboration, and compromise. These "flexible principles," simultaneously consistent and elastic, gave him the fluidity to engage diffuse audiences, helping him advance his goals. This dissertation situates Perkins within the American progressive movement that centered on Chicago, more than any other city of the era. It then analyzes his designs for five civic typologies - settlement houses, parks, playgrounds, recreation centers, and public schools - as well as his vision for how these spaces were constituent parts of an innovative urban-planning model based on overlapping, yet distinct neighborhood centers. It explains the intellectual debates that informed these projects and his concerted efforts to implement improvements, even if they did not fulfill his highest ideals. Perkins spoke of his designs as "social centers" that he believed were able to facilitate democratic exchange across class and economic lines, as well as bring much needed public services to the people of Chicago. Dwight Perkins was a designer and community activist of mainly regional significance who believed, above all, in social democracy. Exploring his social politics allows me to situate his work within the dominant narratives of American progressivism and its corollaries in modern architecture. This is not to suggest that his progressive goals and aesthetic predilections were avant-garde. Perkins by and large eschewed radical forms in order to achieve other goals, though some involved architectural innovations and experiments. Democratic engagement was his primary concern, related to other principles about educational freedoms, public health, and environmentalism. These aspirations remain central to the history and future of self-consciously progressive architecture, whether in Europe or the United States.

Abstract:
At the start of the second industrial revolution, Chicago was home to many workers from the Union Stock Yard meat packing industry located in what is now known as the Back of the Yards neighborhood. As business grew, so did the need for housing, leading to the development of a new neighborhood, Englewood. For years, the neighborhood was prosperous and was home to the second largest business corridor in the city. During the Great Migration, much of that changed. Racially Restrictive Covenants forced African Americans to live in the Black Belt, and the eastern side of Englewood slowly transformed, paving the way for the prominently African American community that exists in Englewood today. Inevitably, due to disinvestment stemming from harsh FHA sanctioned policy during the Great Migration, the town began to deteriorate, and has remained in a state of decay for decades. Businesses and residences were abandoned and much of the neighborhood is desolate. The economy is stagnant, and many of the residents remain unemployed. The crime rate is amongst the worst in the city, and gang violence plagues the streets at night. Englewood has fallen victim to many urban ills. The goal of this project is to reverse some of those issues through designing new public spaces and Mixed-Income Housing. In providing the residents of Englewood with safe outdoor recreational spaces, a local source of healthy food, community gardens and markets, equal opportunity housing, job opportunity and social services, the community will be given the tools to repair itself. The question remains: What will attract local residents and small business owners from across the entire neighborhood of Englewood, what will keep them safe? What will keep them connected?
