Summary:
La figure de l'architecte issue de la Renaissance repose sur la séparation du savoir et du faire, de l'artisanat et de l’art mais dans le même temps apparaissent les indices d’une rupture profonde inaugurée par le capitalisme naissant. Dépassant les catégories habituelles, "Dessin/chantier" cherche à analyser comment se produit la valeur dans un monde dominé par la(...)

Dépassant les catégories habituelles, "Dessin/chantier" cherche à analyser comment se produit la valeur dans un monde dominé par la marchandise. Le propos tranche par son approche idéologique à l’opposé du libéralisme actuel. L’auteur est marqué par les luttes des années 60 au Brésil, par la violence faite aux ouvriers bâtissant Brasilia. Alors le voici parti à la recherche d’une autre pratique de l’architecture et de son édification, une pratique heureuse passant par un changement radical des rapports de production. Avant-propos de Vincent Michel.

Summary:
Dating from the early 1970s, ‘'Design and the Building Site'’ is Sérgio Ferro’s most influential theoretical work. Written just after Ferro had arrived in France after fleeing the military dictatorship that took power in Brazil in 1964 and arrested him in 1970 for his involvement in active resistance, the essay reflects much of what he had left behind: encounters with(...)

Summary:
Dating from the early 1970s, ‘'Design and the Building Site'’ is Sérgio Ferro’s most influential theoretical work. Written just after Ferro had arrived in France after fleeing the military dictatorship that took power in Brazil in 1964 and arrested him in 1970 for his involvement in active resistance, the essay reflects much of what he had left behind: encounters with Brasilia’s harsh construction sites; experiences with the collective ''Arquitetura Nova''; work on the editorial committee of the journal ''Teoria e Prática''; and the year Ferro spent in prison, befriending construction workers and reading Freud. The text constitutes a critique of architectural production under capitalism, surveying the political economy of architectural production and its influence on the contemporary practice of architecture. Half a century after its first publication, and in the face of capitalism’s greatest crisis, it has never offered such a pressingly relevant call for action. This edition contextualises and expands on Ferro’s essay with earlier and later texts, clarifying both the contextual and theoretical elements at play in its argument. A preface written by Ferro especially for this first English-language edition recounts his journey from Brasilia’s building sites to the experiments of ''Arquitetura Nova'', as well as a topic he has rarely touched on before: postmodernism.

Summary:
For the French-Brazilian architect, theorist, and painter Sérgio Ferro, looking at architecture from below means putting the building site and building workers at the centre of architectural enquiry. Instead of new trends or big names, Ferro strives for an approach ‘that enables one to see both head and feet at the same time – the magnanimous ideal and the muck down(...)

Summary:
For the French-Brazilian architect, theorist, and painter Sérgio Ferro, looking at architecture from below means putting the building site and building workers at the centre of architectural enquiry. Instead of new trends or big names, Ferro strives for an approach ‘that enables one to see both head and feet at the same time – the magnanimous ideal and the muck down below’. The process of building rarely features in architectural history and theory. Ferro argues that this persistent dismissal and neglect of building labour is no mere oversight, but instead a structural necessity of capitalist development which serves to deny labour as the source of value, to make capital’s command appear mandatory, and to maintain the profession’s capacity to act ‘on’ and ‘over’ the building site. Written between 1967 and 2019, these ten essays introduce Sérgio Ferro’s vital thinking by confronting architecture with critical theories ranging from Marx to contemporary authors. They draw on concrete cases in different historical and geographical contexts – from Strasbourg to Brasilia, via Dubai – to disclose how capitalist relations of production have transformed architecture and its relations to artistic practices such as painting and sculpture.

Summary:
On sait que l’œuvre de Michel-Ange ouvre un espace créatif radicalement nouveau, subversion radicale des conventions esthétiques de son époque. Sérgio Ferro décrypte l’une des œuvres majeures de l’artiste : la sacristie de San Lorenzo à Florence. Il montre en quoi un véritable travail critique s’énonce depuis la matière même de l’œuvre architecturale et sculptée. Mais(...)

Sérgio Ferro décrypte l’une des œuvres majeures de l’artiste : la sacristie de San Lorenzo à Florence. Il montre en quoi un véritable travail critique s’énonce depuis la matière même de l’œuvre architecturale et sculptée. Mais au-delà encore, suivant un processus rigoureux d’interprétation inspiré de la sémiologie CH. S. Peirce, la lecture attentive que propose Sérgio Ferro a valeur de modèle. L’auteur pose ainsi les fondements d’une herméneutique originale, rendue plus sensible encore par sa propre expérience d’artiste-peintre et d’architecte.
