Summary:
In No More Play: Conversations on Urban Speculation in Los Angeles and Beyond , American architect Michael Maltzan traces the transformations that have taken place in the city of Los Angeles since the early 1990s. Through a series of conversations with the city's leading artists and intellectuals, Maltzan explores such issues as real-estate speculation and future urban development, infrastructure, resources, site density, urban experience, political structure, commerce and community, attempting to transform our understanding of how each affects present-day Los Angeles. Intended to facilitate further dialogue on how to define the “City of Angels” at a moment when its identity is in significant flux, the book includes contributions by Iwan Baan, Catherine Opie, Sarah Whiting, Charles Waldheim, Matthew Coolidge, Geoff Manaugh, Mirko Zardini, Edward Soja, James Flanigan, Charles Jencks and Qingyun Ma.

Summary:
Alors que les débats politiques contemporains abordent de plus en plus la question de la santé, les urbanistes et les architectes tentent eux aussi de répondre à ces préoccupations sociétales. En imparfaite santé : la médicalisation de l’architecture étudie la complexité, la corrélation et l’émergence de ces problèmes sanitaires contemporains au travers des réponses architecturales et urbaines proposées. Les disciplines du design traitent de ces peurs et de ces inquiétudes en intégrant les paradigmes médicaux à leurs projets et en faisant parfois leurs principes mêmes de conception d'environnements thérapeutiques. En imparfaite santé explore les liens historiques entre ces disciplines, la santé et l'environnement. Mettant en lumière les incertitudes et les contradictions associées à la notion de santé telles qu,elles sont actualisée dans la médecine occidentale, cet ouvrage insiste sur la nécessité d'une méthodologie autre par laquelle l'urbanisme, l'architecture et le paysagisme, au lieu de guérir, pourraient s'attacher à prendre soin des habitants et de leur environnement.

Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition tenue en 2008 au CCA, Actions : comment s’approprier la ville comprend trente essais originaux de portée internationale. Ces textes traitent tant des observations personnelles d’un éventail d’activistes que des réflexions de spécialistes qui analysent les répercussions positives de ces initiatives individuelles sur la ville ; 34 actions tirées de l’exposition s’imbriquent aux textes. Les actions sont représentées par des images couleur et de courtes descriptions, qui précisent le nom des acteurs, les outils et les lieux concernés. Mirko Zardini et Giovana Borasi, directeurs de la publication et commissaires de l’exposition, signent chacun une introduction offrant une perspective historique ; ils campent l’exposition et la publication dans le cadre de la conservation.
