La politique du Braup vise à soutenir les publications scientifiques issues des unités de recherche des Écoles nationales supérieures en architecture. Ces publications proviennent de rapports de recherche, de thèses de doctorat ou de colloques organisés par les écoles et sont destinées à la communauté scientifique, aux étudiants, aux professionnels ou à un public plus large encore. L’objectif étant d’assurer une visibilité aux recherches menées dans les écoles et de participer à la reconnaissance de l’architecture en tant que discipline.

Economic science fictions

Summary:
From the libertarian economics of Ayn Rand to Aldous Huxley's consumerist dystopias, economics and science fiction have often orbited each other. In ''Economic Science Fictions'', editor William Davies has deliberately merged the two worlds, asking how we might harness the power of the utopian imagination to revitalize economic thinking.

On a souvent discouru sur leur contenu des activités, sur la manière de bâtir, sur le contexte de leur apparition mais rarement sur la mise en forme de bâtiments. Or ce qui fait la spécificité de cet art de la combinatoire c'est le travail de mise en forme, de conjuguer des éléments hétérogènes bref ce qu'on appelle couramment créer alors que le terme approprié est composer. Dans ce volume, les planches montrent les plans et les tracés de trois bâtiments: Maison Fisher, Louis I. Kahn; Villa Müller, Adolf Loos et Karel Lotha; Projet pour une résiedence à Avignon, François Franque.

À l'aide de l'analyse de plusieurs études sur l'architecture, l'auteur redéfinit la notion de composition dans la théorie architecturale. Le dessin d'architecture doit se prémunir du "réalisme" pour accéder à un niveau de généralité et d'abstraction. Il permet d'imaginer et d'explorer une disposition spatiale n'existant pas encore, ou d'intervenir et de transformer un bâti préexistant par un projet qui tienne compte d'une logique consciente de la forme (morphologie), celle-ci devant être acquise dans un apprentissage spécifique et maîtrisée dans une pratique effective.

Summary:
As a response to the profound crisis of Western culture the emerged in the 1960s, radical artists from Italy, Austria, England and Japan called into question the foundations of modernist utopias. They transmuted the difficulties of capitalism into a repertory of startling images that revealed the disturbing realities of consumer society, even in those places still resistant to the penetration of modern architecture, such as Superstudio and Archizoom’s Florence. Their model, though exhausted in the space of experimentation, went on to inspire a generation of architects, from the High Tech movement to Rem Koolhaas.. In the light of these examples, how to define a unified 'dystopian' method of design, i.e. a common ground for an architecture that, by its very nature, seems to resist systematization? Are the most recognizable architectural expressions of this theoretical framework — characterized by brazen displays of technology and structures of overwhelming scale — merely isolated cases, albeit of particular iconic power? Or do they belong to a wider landscape of antirational architectural projects? And to what extent are these disturbing expressions premised on the utopian tradition or, better yet, the conceptual model of 'negative thought'? The goal of this book is to respond to such questions, thus initiating an open dialogue about the legitimacy of this critical category.

Summary:
Postmodernism has been a buzzword in contemporary society for the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this "Very Short Introduction" Christopher Butler challenges and explores the key ideas of postmodernists, and their engagement with theory, literature, the visual arts, film, architecture, and music. He treats artists, intellectuals, critics, and social scientists 'as if they were all members of a loosely constituted and quarrelsome political party' - a party which includes such members as Cindy Sherman, Salman Rushdie, Jacques Derrida, Walter Abish, and Richard Rorty - creating a vastly entertaining framework in which to unravel the mysteries of the 'postmodern condition', from the politicizing of museum culture to the cult of the politically correct.
