This Springer brief explores the contribution of Nicolas de Condorcet in French higher education, the historical development of his work and its influence on the history of the French education system.Condorcet's educational proposals were first devised as five Memoires, which were consolidated into the ‘Rapport et Projet de Decret sur l'Organisation Generale de l'Instruction Publique’. This report has sparked debate on the subject of education in the past and lives on as a basis for ongoing iterations of plans for education by other writers.In developing these ideas and especially how they apply to higher education, this book bridges the gap between the 18th century French Enlightenment shift and the Revolution of higher education, with the advent of the Grandes Écoles such as École Normale Supérieure, École Polytechnique and Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers. Each of these schools was represented by a specific institutionalizededucational idea rooted in the works of the philosopher.This book offers insights to a wider audience in the educational thought of Condorcet, which at the time of his writing was overshadowed by Rousseau, and shows how his ideas of liberty and equality flourish in the French educational system and remain an important part in today's French academic, cultural and political culture.

The highly anticipated first book on the interiors of AD100 star design duo. Studio KO stand among the most sought-after talents in contemporary architecture and interior design. The pair never followed a typical path, boldly launching their practice before finishing school. Their work quickly gained attention for minimalist architectures set in awe-inspiring landscapes and interiors grounded in history and culture, attracting an extraordinary circle of clients, from Andr Balazs, for his first European address in London, to Pierre Berg , who entrusted them with the landmark Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakech, Morocco. Today, Studio KO are celebrated worldwide for a contemporary vernacular style that feels both radical and deeply rooted. This volume showcases nine projects, including the renovation of a traditional Moroccan house in Marrakech, villas on the French Mediterranean coast in Cassis and Corsica, Fournier and Marty's private apartment in Paris, the colorful Flamingo Estate in Los Angeles, or the famous Chiltern Firehouse in the epilogue. The atmospheric, bohemian photography of Fran ois Halard's creates a poetic dialogue with Studio KO's interiors. The result is an intimate book that reveals the essence of thier attitude: sophisticated spaces that blend minimal, graphic architectures with local cultural elements, creating environments that seem at once new and imbued with layers of history, brimming of subtle references to design lore and a great deal of respect for the spirit of the place they invest.

Les enseignements distance manent de l'endroit des signes; ils permettent l' l vation par des messages lointains. D'o viennent ces signes ? Qui les adressent ? Qui sont les enseignants leur origine ? Comment pensent, travaillent et valuent ceux qui font l'enseignement distance ? C'est ces questions de recherches anthropologiques que r pond l'ethnographie que nous livrons ici; elle a pris place pendant trois ann es dans une organisation ducative v n rable, gr ce son site d di l'enseignement sup rieur - dont nous garderons l'anonymat par d ontologie. La professionnalit de la profession de professeur, qui est parole devant audience, laisse alors place une industrie du signe paradoxale, souvent muette dans les fascicules, parfois loquace sur des enregistrements sonores, voire audiovisuels et num riques. Les arts et les m tiers, que nous d crirons par le d tail, montrent une pens e gestionnaire l'oeuvre dans cette institution (c'est le lien formation-emploi); un g nie nouveau, la fois ing nu, car libre, et ing nieux puisqu'inventif avec des supports modernes, comme la classe virtuelle. Mais nous verrons aussi la permanence des valeurs de l'instruction par l' valuation qualitative, sup rieure la masse des nombres. Faisant abstraction des p rip ties du quotidien, vous pourrez lire une anthropologie de l' ducation qui est une anthropologie des savoirs, non pas produits, mais de ceux qui les produisent. C'est l'anthropologie d'une organisation ducative, conomique par l'agence tudi e dans son labeur, mais aussi pist mique par ses objets, r sultats et conditions de possibilit s.

A refreshing modernist aesthetic imbued with subtle references to history and culture defines their work. While Marty and Fournier are best known for their minimalist villas set in awe-inspiring landscapes, recent commissions also include restaurants, boutiques, and hotels across New York, Paris, and London. The first monograph dedicated to Studio KO, this beautifully illustrated book spotlights a diverse array of their work, from private residences in breathtaking scenery, ranging from the Moroccan mountains to Provence and Brittany in France, to the highly anticipated Yves Saint Laurent Museum, due to open in Marrakech in 2017. Boasting never-before-seen architectural plans, personal photos, and sumptuous photographs of finished spaces, this book offers a fascinating look at the most in-demand architectural designers of today.
