Louis I Kahn by Robert Mccarter

L'homme est-il naturellement religieux ou la religion est-elle une construction sociale? Cette question fondamentale traverse l'oeuvre d' mile Durkheim, Le probl me religieux et la dualit de la nature humaine . Situ la fin du XIXe si cle, une poque marqu e par des bouleversements sociaux et intellectuels, ce texte s'inscrit dans le cadre de la sociologie naissante. Durkheim, pionnier de cette discipline, s'attache comprendre les m canismes qui sous-tendent les croyances religieuses et leur r le dans la soci t . Dans cette analyse, Durkheim explore la dualit de la nature humaine, partag e entre l'individuel et le collectif. Il postule que la religion, loin d' tre une simple superstition, est un ciment social qui unit les individus en une communaut coh rente. travers une tude minutieuse des rites et des symboles, il d montre comment la religion structure la vie sociale et forge l'identit collective. Les th matiques abord es par Durkheim sont vari es et mutables. Il s'int resse la mani re dont les soci t s primitives per oivent le sacr et le profane, et comment ces perceptions influencent les comportements humains. En examinant les totems et les rituels, il met en lumi re la fonction int gratrice de la religion, qui transcende les diff rences individuelles pour cr er un sentiment d'appartenance. Ce livre offre au lecteur une perspective enrichissante sur la place de la religion dans la soci t . En d veloppant une th orie sociologique de la religion, Durkheim nous apprend percevoir les croyances religieuses non pas comme des vestiges du pass , mais comme des l ments essentiels la coh sion sociale. Par cette volution, nous percevons d sormais mieux les changements qui fa onnent nos soci t s contemporaines et l'importance des liens fondamentaux qui nous unissent.

"Descriptions of each building and case study are extraordinarily successful.. [This book] achieves what Kahn often outlined as the ultimate challenge for an architect: capturing the mind's vision."—Blueprint

"Deserves a place as a solid student textbook."—Architect’s Journal

"Beautiful."—Prospect

"Should be an inspiration for students and teachers in any design and technology, engineering or art department... This beautifully produced 500 page book could be used not only for the insight it gives into Kahn’s design, but also for its extensive series of concept drawings, detailed plans, photographs of architectural models, and sketches and photographs of completed projects."—Bill Richmond, Times Educational Supplement

"The time is ripe for comprehensive critical assessment of [Kahn's] work... McCarter's [...] book is comprehensive in scope, thoroughly researched, well written, extensively illustrated... and beautifully produced by Phaidon... At the end of the book, McCarter concisely grasps and articulates something of the essential truth about Kahn."—The Architectural Review

"This homage to Kahn is helped by the drama of his prodigious output of theoretical schemes and foiled master plans... When he suceeded, the results were spectacular... This book does him proud."—Wallpaper*

"A labour of love... A conscientious review... Kahn, is, after Le Corbusier, the major architectural thinker of the twentieth century, revered as much by Norman Foster as by Robert Venturi."—Robert Maxwell, Professor Emeritus of Architecture, Princeton University, Times Literary Supplement
