Modern hospice design : The architecture of palliative and social care
Takes cognisance of the new conditions of social care in the 21st century, principally in the UK, Europe and North America. It does so with regard to the development of new building types, but also in response to new philosophies of palliative care and the status of the elderly and the dying. At its core is a public discussion of a philosophy of design for providing care for the elderly and the vulnerable, taking the importance of architectural aesthetics, the use of quality materials, the porousness of design to the wider world, and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces as part of the overall care environment.

De L’Éthique À La Justice : Langage et politique dans la philosophie de Lévinas = Language and politics in the philosophy of Levinas
Seeks to show that even if man is the event of the understanding of being, the whole of man and all meaning cannot be reduced to the understanding of being alone. On the political side, he questions the possibility of subjecting the totalitarian tendency of all politics to a search for justice that does not ultimately depend on politics itself. But these two sides are one. The discovery of a meaning beyond the comprehension of being - ethics - at the same time provides the source of the renewal of justice. Thus, by this double question, Lévinas presents to us the main threads of our investigation: a meaning beyond the comprehension of being and its ethical scope, which we call “language” and which we explore in the perspective of its importance.
Les vérités du cancer : Partager l'information, installer la relation = The truths about cancer : Sharing information, building the relationship
Les médecins et les équipes soignantes perçoivent comme une nouvelle pression la nécessité de transmettre le diagnostic de cancer et de discuter des options thérapeutiques avec un patient qui n’est pas toujours prêt à s y confronter. Bien que l’on puisse saluer le partage de l’information et encourager la transparence, le médecin prend le risque du blocage de dialogue, d’une indifférence, au pire d’un traumatisme. L’idée d’une diminution d’un certain pouvoir médical s’insinue dans le « dispositif » d’annonce qui renvoie la clinique à des apprentissages techniques. Au contraire, certains médecins cherchent à s’inscrire dans un mouvement plus démocratique. Ils constatent que pour le malade, savoir n’est pas choisir, et que dans les cas difficiles, ils restent encore décideurs. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les changements obtenus par les lois et leurs conséquences sur les pratiques et incite à une réflexion philosophique sur la vérité et les vérités des interlocuteurs de la scène médicale.

Building Theories : Architecture as the Art of Building
Discusses the content of treatises, essays, articles, and letters by those who have been, throughout history, committed to the art of building. In this, Building Theories argues for the return of a practice of architectural theory that is set amongst building, buildings, and builders. This journey of close reading reinterprets the words of Vitruvius, Alberti, de L’Orme, Le Camus de Mézières, Boullée, Laugier, Rondelet, Semper, Viollet-le-Duc, Hübsch, Bötticher, Berlage, Muthesius, Wagner, Behrendt, Gropius, and Arup. With chapters dedicated to texts from antiquity, the Renaissance, and the nineteenth century, and with a critical eye on architectural theory popularized in the Anglo-Saxon world post-1968, readers are introduced to a wider, more inclusive definition of architectural ideas.

In this book, acclaimed architectural theorist Mark Jarzombek examines this tension head-on, and uses it to rethink the nature of the history of architecture.
