English summary: Compared to the traditional conception of art, architecture presents a challenge to aesthetic philosophy because of its hybrid nature. It is simultaneously an art and a technical, scientific discipline; it is both symbolic and functional; expressive but also utilitarian; rare and refined but also present in daily life. In light of this, this collection presents a contemporary perspective on architecture while also taking into consideration historical issues in order to help construct a more accurate philosophy of architecture. French description: Bien que les relations entre la philosophie et l’architecture aient ete anciennes et constantes, l’architecture semble etre la forme d’art qui soit la plus mal-aimee et la plus meconnue des philosophes. En effet, en regard de la conception traditionnelle de l’art, elle presente une veritable difficulte pour la philosophie esthetique en raison de son caractere hybride. Elle est a la fois un art et une discipline technique et scientifique, elle se donne symbolique mais aussi fonctionnelle, expressive mais aussi utilitaire, rare et raffinee mais aussi partout presente dans le quotidien des hommes. Cette particularite, qui fait se tenir ensemble et de maniere essentielle des determinations habituellement tenues pour incompatibles, semble ainsi appeler une esthetique originale, irreductible a l’esthetique generale, voire exiger une reconception de la discipline esthetique a partir de ce qui se tient dans sa marge, l’architecture. Le present recueil s’inscrit dans une perspective resolument contemporaine et, tout en revenant sur certains enjeux historiques, il entend participer a la constitution et la construction d’une veritable philosophie de l’architecture.
