Les villes confrontées à l'immigration ont-elles un autre avenir possible que celui, sans issue, d'une ségrégation spatiale chaque jour plus sévère? N'y a-t-il pas d'autre voie pour les métropoles européennes que la dérive vers le modèle américain des « gated communities » et des ghettos ethniques, véritable bombe sociale à retardement?

Summary:
Les villes confrontées à l'immigration ont-elles un autre avenir possible que celui, sans issue, d'une ségrégation spatiale chaque jour plus sévère? N'y a-t-il pas d'autre voie pour les métropoles européennes que la dérive vers le modèle américain des « gated communities » et des ghettos ethniques, véritable bombe sociale à retardement? Militant en faveur d'une urbanité plus inclusive et pacifiée, un collectif d'urbanistes et d'architectes engagés livre ici le fruit de ses réflexions et expérimentations menées à Marseille, au cœur de certains des quartiers parmi les plus pauvres et délabrés d'Europe.Sous leur regard dépassionné et vierge de toute stigmatisation, les redoutés « Quartiers Nord?» de la cité phocéenne apparaissent pour ce qu'ils sont : le résultat d'une succession d'erreurs architecturales, urbanistiques et politiques. Et en conséquence, affirment les auteurs, si des solutions existent à la mise à l'écart des migrants et des plus démunis de la ville centre et de ses activités, c'est dans l'intervention architecturale et la révision des règlements urbains qu'il faut les chercher. Inventives, audacieuses, attaquant de front les aménageurs d'une urbanité capitaliste et exclusive, leurs propositions sont d'autant plus stimulantes qu'elles sont simples, efficaces et durables. Et si certaines sont ouvertement utopiques, elles ne le seront jamais plus que celles des architectes modernistes qui, dans les années soixante, ont conçu ces tours et ces barres dans l'idée d'exalter le bien-être de leurs habitants.

Implying always a beginning, teaching is about initiating excitement. It entails the deployment of pleasure, the built-up of passion, and obsession vis-à-vis a particular field of endeavour, the grounds on which a discipline operates, and its intellectual as well as physical practices.

Summary:
Implying always a beginning, teaching is about initiating excitement. It entails the deployment of pleasure, the built-up of passion, and obsession vis-à-vis a particular field of endeavour, the grounds on which a discipline operates, and its intellectual as well as physical practices. Notwithstanding the optimistic implications of such a claim, teaching inevitably involves a contradictory bias both in favour as well as against the discipline at issue, promoting an understanding of its regulating principles while at the same time questioning the seemingly secure bases on which it is presumed to stand. Whereas teaching is affirmative, it simultaneously introduces a distancing from the very subject matter that it promotes.

An engrossing collection of interviews with Swiss superstar architects like Herzog & de Meuron, Peter Zumthor, Valerio Olgiati, Mario Botta and Luigi Snozzi offers a window into their plans, obsessions, thoughts and predictions. What are they working on? Where are they going next? Nine interviewers talk to 30 leading Swiss architects, both established and cutting-edge, about the future of architecture, their increasingly complex relations with clients and the public sphere, and their role in the international dialog on what architecture means in the early 21st century. Over the course of the conversations, these architects present not only their positions on the constructive, conceptual and aesthetic dimensions of architecture, but also their projections for the future of the discipline.

The images are organized according to thirteen keywords, spatial configurations that characterize agps’s core design concepts and summarize central elements of their ideas. At the same time, they are terms that define the formal presence of their designs. The result offers multifaceted and inspiring insight into the work of an international firm that proves just how important spatial constellations are for the formulation of good architecture.

Despite the claim of many institutions to teach concepts for new, innovative architecture, schools are often bound by tight constraints and prescribed space programmes when building their own facilities. Under these conditions, how can free spaces for architectural education be created and forward-looking ideas as well as unconventional uses be promoted? / Weltweit werden derzeit Architekturschulen gebaut. Die Hauptgründe dafür liegen in neuen Raumanforderungen und im Streben nach Exzellenz in der Ausbildung. Trotz des Anspruchs vieler Institutionen, Konzepte für eine neue, innovative Architektur zu vermitteln, sind die Schulen beim Bau ihrer eigenen Anlagen oft an enge Auflagen und vorgegebene Raumprogramme gebunden. Wie können unter diesen Voraussetzungen Freiräume für die Architekturausbildung entstehen und zukunftsweisende Ideen sowie unkonventionelle Nutzungen gefördert werden?

This book offers the first systematic exploration of these cities, analyzing their urban form, their promise, and their shortcomings. Originally intended to satisfy growing demand for housing, most of the desert towns have never been completed. Taking this permanent condition of emerging urban development at face value, the study aims to identify the as-yet dormant potential of these towns through a series of design scenarios. Cairo Desert Cities underscores the value of re-engaging in modernist town planning, for wiping away the dust of past failures may uncover the contours of future opportunities. With over 300 illustrations, this clothbound edition is an engaging and visually rich introduction to the urban development of Greater Cairo, the largest urban area in Africa, and the practices that have shaped it.
