Summary:
Dès la conquête, les occupants ibériques, espagnols d'abord, portugais ensuite, ont développé une stratégie de création de villes dans les somptueux paysages latino-américains. Localisation, fondation, urbanisme, architecture et peuplement, rien ne fut laissé au hasard. Que ce soit dans les sites vierges ou sur les emplacements des anciennes cités précolombiennes, règlements, lois et théories étaient à l'œuvre sous la férule des dirigeants pour assurer le pouvoir de Dieu et du Roi pour le bien des colons et des indigènes. Les échanges et influences réciproques entre l' « ancien » et le « nouveau » monde vont jusqu'à nos jours transformer utopies et réalités dans un fantastique laboratoire grandeur nature. La plus récente expérience en fut la modernité, courant international qui permit aux latino-américains, par son application locale, de s'inventer une identité contemporaine. Sous la direction de Jean-François Lejeune, des spécialistes américains et européens explorent cinq siècles de vies et de villes.

Puisant au cœur des arts du monde islamique plus vaste, notamment la Perse et l'Asie Centrale, mais solidement enraciné dans les traditions indiennes, ce style imprégna le moindre aspect de la vie des empereurs moghols, de Babur à Aurangzeb, de leur aristocratie et des membres de leur famille. Il influença leurs manières et l'étiquette de la cour, les plats et les coupes à vin qu'ils utilisaient, leurs riches vêtements et leurs somptueux bijoux, les opulents intérieurs de leurs palais ornées de magnifiques tapis et de brocarts, et les majestueux monuments - tel le Taj Mahal ou les Forts rouges d'Agra et de Delhi - qui proclamaient leur richesse et leur puissance.

Summary:
"Chandigarh rethink" captures the rich, ongoing discourse on radically transforming urbanities within the Global South with specific reference to India's social, historical, economic and cultural repositioning. It examines urban edge 'figures' and their rural 'grounds', relevant not just to Chandigarh, but also to cities in general, while suggesting narrative strategies via provocative design studio design work. These introspections are framed within themed contributions from a globally recognized group of scholars who represent the diverse disciplines of architecture, planning, urban design, landscape ecologies and the humanities. As a topical publication on global urbanities transforming a 'signature' urban project, "Chandigarh rethink" anticipates the Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures (blc) program and SARUP's efforts to uniquely aligning urban research, pedagogy and critical design practice towards examining global urbanities that continue to defy normative urban analysis. Beyond serving as an exemplar for globally aware architectural schools nationwide and beyond, it is also directed to serve as an instructive primer for design students and instructors examining global urban sites.

Summary:
Entre le début de l'exploitation des ressources pétrolières (fin des années 1940) et l'invasion du pays par l'armée irakienne (fin des années 1980 ) en passant par l'indépendance (1961), le Koweït a connu de profondes transformations qui se reflètent dans le patrimoine bâti. L'autonomie politique et l'élévation du niveau de vie ont eu pour conséquence une modification radicale de la ville historique située sur la côte du golfe Persique. Les grands projets d'architecture et d'urbanisme lancés durant ces quatre décennies ont fourni à de grands architectes locaux et internationaux l'occasion de construire une ville nouvelle, de sorte que Koweït City présente aujourd'hui de nombreux exemples de l'architecture moderne classique. Résultat de plusieurs années de recherches interdisciplinaires, le présent ouvrage répertorie plus de cent cinquante bâtiments présentés avec des textes et des photos permettant de saisir la dynamique de changement qu'ils incarnent. Ces bâtiments reflètent une typologie et des styles très variés, mettent en évidence les différents moyens de s'adapter aux conditions climatiques locales et sont systématiquement présentés dans leur contexte urbanistique.

"The Object of Zionism" is a critical study of Zionist spatial planning and the architectural fabrication of the State of Israel from the early 20th century to the 1960s and '70s. Zvi Efrat scrutinizes Israel as a singular modernist project, unprecedented in its political and ethical circumstances and its hyper-production of spatial and structural experiments.

They reveal that the nation is at a crossroads in terms of its cultural identity, caught between socio-political commitment and poetic escape, and offer tools to engender both economic and cultural ideas and prejudices. Over 60 artists and designers form a map that traces, challenges, and vindicates what it means to live in Colombia, embodying its contemporary historical memory. The initiative was conceived by Hugo Herrera Tobón, Moniek Dreisse, and Annelys de Vet to further encourage a discussion of the nation’s complex cultural identity.
