Abstract

Le jardinier se distingue de l’architecte du paysage dans le sens où il accompagne le projet paysager plus qu’il ne cherche à le fixer dans un dessin. Depuis dix ans, le projet helvético-chilien Open City Research Platform développe cet enseignement. Cet atelier-chantier, situé au sein de la Ciudad Abierta, à Valparaiso, au Chili, accueille chaque année des étudiants qui y testent des matériaux et des structures. Ils apprennent ainsi sur le terrain que l’architecture n’est pas un acte fini, mais un processus collectif en évolution.

Architecture of India

Indian architecture is rooted in the history, culture, and religion of India. Among several architectural styles and traditions, the best-known include the many varieties of Hindu temple architecture and Indo-Islamic architecture, especially Rajput architecture, Mughal architecture, South Indian architecture, and Indo-Saracenic architecture. Early Indian architecture was made from wood, which did not survive due to rotting and instability in the structures.

Classical architecture

Classical architecture usually denotes architecture which is more or less consciously derived from the principles of Greek and Roman architecture of classical antiquity, or sometimes more specifically, from the works of the Roman architect Vitruvius. Different styles of classical architecture have arguably existed since the Carolingian Renaissance, and prominently since the Italian Renaissance. Although classical styles of architecture can vary greatly, they can in general all be said to draw on a common "vocabulary" of decorative and constructive elements.
