Description

Sixième volume de la collection "Savoir & Faire", cette encyclopédie explore à travers près de cinquante articles les usages historiques et contemporains de la pierre. De l'architecture à l'objet domestique, de la structure au décor, elle s'articule autour de quatre grands chapitres riches de l'expertise de praticiens - tailleurs de pierre, maçons, sculpteurs, architectes... -, d'historiens, de spécialistes et de chercheurs réunis à l'occasion de cet ouvrage inédit par son ampleur. Après l'influence de la diversité géologique de notre territoire sur le bâti et l'extraction de la pierre et son histoire, la part belle est faite à l'architecture. Des pyramides d'Egypte au Paris d'Haussmann, de l'Acropole d'Athènes à l'oeuvre de Gaudí, de Pétra à Angkor, du Machu Picchu aux constructions indiennes en passant par les réalisations d'architectes contemporains, les chapitres centraux s'affranchissent de toutes limites géographiques et temporelles et explorent l'histoire, la symbolique et l'usage de la pierre dans les techniques constructives. Dans le volet final, elle devient un matériau sur lequel artistes et artisans éprouvent leur art. Elle est une matière vivante sous les ciseaux des sculpteurs, précieuse dans l'art de la pietra dura, précise avec le travail des tailleurs oeuvrant à la restauration de Notre-Dame de Paris. Parfois délaissée, la construction en pierre n'a pourtant jamais véritablement cessé et constitue l'une des réponses aux grands enjeux environnementaux et socio-économiques de notre époque. Face à ces derniers, cette somme richement illustrée se donne aussi pour finalité de mieux comprendre et admirer ces pierres qui, du naturel vers le culturel, racontent silencieusement une part de notre humanité. Cet ouvrage fait suite à la sixième Académie des savoir-faire organisée par la Fondation d'entreprise Hermès : "La pierre".
