La Diplomatie Française Et Les Diplomates Français Entre Tradition Et Réforme
GEORGES-HENRI SOUTOU La diplomatie française et les diplomates français entre tradition et réforme Identité nationale, américanisation, européanisation, mondialisation: cette problémati- que est bien sûr au cœur de la diplomatie française depuis 1945. Celle-ci a été marquée évidemment par des évolutions et des adaptations, mais aussi par certaines continuités, en particulier le souci de maintenir l’identité nationale: la France a toujours été le moins atlantiste des pays d’Europe occidentale et le plus rétif au leadership américain; ses élites se sont en général méfiées de la mondialisation libérale, souhaitant, de Pierre Mendès France à François Mitterrand, promouvoir telle ou telle forme de »libéralisme organisé« limitant le jeu du marché, en particulier pour les matières premières, ainsi que pour les productions culturelles (»exception culturelle« et francophonie). Quant à l’européanisation, elle a constitué certainement un axe de la diplomatie et des diploma- tes français, mais elle est restée partielle et chargée d’arrière-pensées très »nationales«. De façon peut-être excessive, mais pas fausse, les partenaires de la France au sein de la CEE puis de l’Union européenne avaient (ont toujours) l’impression que Paris consi- dère l’Europe avant tout comme un levier permettant de prolonger son action et de diffuser son modèle; de Gaulle lui-même ne parlait-il pas de l’Europe comme d’un »levier d’Archimède« pour la France? C’est au fond ce que signifie le qualificatif de »Grande Nation« que les Allemands appliquent volontiers à la France, en y mêlant, dans des proportions variables, ironie et admiration... 1945–1947 UNE TENTATIVE DE RESTAURATION D’UNE POLITIQUE NATIONALE TRADITIONNELLE En 1945, la France, pensant pouvoir retrouver son rôle international traditionnel, com- mença par renouer avec l’organisation, les méthodes et les conceptions de la diploma- tie d’avant-guerre.

Foster + Partners Bests Zaha Hadid and OMA in Competition to Build Park Avenue Office Tower by KELLY CHAN | APRIL 3, 2012 | BLOUIN ART INFO
Foster + Partners Bests Zaha Hadid and OMA in Competition to Build Park Avenue Office Tower BY KELLY CHAN | APRIL 3, 2012 | BLOUIN ART INFO We were just getting used to the idea of seeing a sensuous Zaha Hadid building on the corporate-modernist boulevard that is Manhattan’s Park Avenue, but looks like we’ll have to keep dreaming. An invited competition to design a new Park Avenue office building for L&L Holdings and Lemen Brothers Holdings pitted starchitect against starchitect (with a shortlist including Hadid and Rem Koolhaas’s firm OMA). In the end, Lord Norman Foster came out victorious. “Our aim is to create an exceptional building, both of its time and timeless, as well as being respectful of this context,” said Norman Foster in a statement, according to The Architects’ Newspaper. Foster described the building as “for the city and for the people that will work in it, setting a new standard for office design and providing an enduring landmark that befits its world-famous location.” The winning design (pictured left) is a three-tiered, 625,000-square-foot tower. With sky-high landscaped terraces, flexible floor plates, a sheltered street-level plaza, and LEED certification, the building does seem to reiterate some of the same principles seen in the Lever House and Seagram Building, Park Avenue’s current office tower icons, but with markedly updated standards. Only time will tell if Foster’s building can achieve the same timelessness as its mid-century predecessors, a feat that challenged a slew of architects as Park Avenue cultivated its corporate identity in the 1950s and 60s.

It was a fantastic and irreplaceable gift to experience Herzog & De Mueron’s Laban Dance Centre and Tate Modern; Norman Foster’s Swiss Re tower and Council House; and David Adjaye’s IDEA Store and Rivington Place to name but a few. A good university imbues the theory of great space, and the making of great space comes slowly over time in practice, but architecture is a visceral art at its most transcendental. Therefore experience beyond the image to the actual site of such architecture is fundamental to the development of any aspiring architect. The added and unexpected highlight to the tour was the eye-opening experience of visiting diverse studios of London’s world famous architects. The scared creatures working in Zaha Hadid’s paperless, model-less ex- elementary school sweatshop and Norman Foster’s plan for World-Fosterisation with his 100 0 or so minions contrasted vividly with the exquisite creativity of David Chipperﬁeld’s model based studio, the sublime output of ideas by small ofﬁce youngsters Carmody Groarke, and the palpable philanthropy of Richard Rogers and his extended architectural family.

A New Cultural Conter in Paris : Plateau Beaubourg 75004 Paris
A New Cultural Conter in Paris : LE CENTRE NATIONAL D'ART ET DE CULTURE GEORGES POMPIDOU Plateau Beaubourg 75004 Paris THE GEORGES POMPIDOU NATIONAL CENTER OF ART AND CULTURE The creation of the Georges Pompidou Center is a unique enterprise in Europe . For the first time, cultural activities hitherto presen- ted separately will be reunited under one roof and will offer the visitor a coherent panorama of contemporary creative activity . New develop .m.ents in the arts, Titerature, music, cinema, industrial design, architecture and urbanism will be seen in an international perspective. The realisation of this project was possible only because a single vision animated its instigators . In 1969, Georges Pompidou, then President of France, decided to create a cultural center on the Plateau Beaubourg in Paris, east of the Boulevard Sebastopol (the old central market-place, "les Halles", being on the West) . Its objectives were outlined in the law concerning its creation : "The Georges Pompidou Center of Art and Culture encourages the creation of works of art and of the spirit ; it contributes to the enrichment of the cultural heritage of the Nation, to the information and the education of the public, to the spread of artistic creation and to social communication . It offers advice on request, rarticularly in the architectural realm, to local communities, as well as to any interested public or private orga- nizations associated with it, of a cultural ensemble devoted to all forms of artistic endeavor, especially in the plastic arts, acoustical and musical research, industrial design, the art of the cinema as well as to public readinq".

The French Fifth Republic
21 The French Fifth Republic Kamaya Jayatissa “Dans le tumulte des hommes et des événements, la solitude était ma tentation. Maintenant, elle est mon amie. De quelle autre se contenter lorsqu’on a rencontré l’Histoire ?”1 Charles de Gaulle The Origins of the Fifth Republic In the early 1950s, French political life was dominated by its colonial wars. Following the military defeat and humiliation of Dien Bien Phu, in May 1954, the government of Pierre Mendès France was forced to negotiate the permanent withdrawal of its troops from Indo-China, putting an end to nearly eight years of conflict.2 For France, this defeat marked the beginning of the decolonisation process in all its colonies. Even though both Morocco and Tunisia gained independence without too much struggle in 1956, the situation was to be very different in Algeria where the links with the Hexagon were deeply rooted since 1830.3 “Algeria was the trigger of the crises, which was fatal to the regime”, stressed French political scientist, René Raymond. It indeed initiated the beginning of a conflict that was to drown the Fourth Republic in a severe institutional crisis. Despite commendable achievements, 4 the Fourth Republic remained unloved by many. Known as la mal aimée,5 it comprised 1 “In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation. Now she is my friend. How else to be content when we met history?” 2 In June 1954, having signed the said agreement, newly appointed President, Pierre Mendès France announced to the French Parliament that he had achieve his aim of ‘an honourable settlement’ to end a war that had cost at least 300,000 lives.
