Summary:
De nombreuses disciplines ont contribué au développement d'une nouvelle forme de pensée apparue récemment qui conteste, critique, cherche à dépasser un rationalisme hérité du XVIIe siècle et jugé par trop simplificateur, inapte à rendre compte de la complexité du réel sur lequel on doit travailler aujourd'hui.

Summary:
De nombreuses disciplines ont contribué au développement d'une nouvelle forme de pensée apparue récemment qui conteste, critique, cherche à dépasser un rationalisme hérité du XVIIe siècle et jugé par trop simplificateur, inapte à rendre compte de la complexité du réel sur lequel on doit travailler aujourd'hui. Qu'en est-il de l'architecture?. Peut-elle rester à l'écart de ce mouvement des idées? La mythique cabane des origines, le temple, le palais, la villa, l'immeuble de rapport, le grand ensemble marquent une évolution, parallèle à celle des sociétés, caractérisée par l'accroissement de la complexité des facteurs intervenant dans la conception. La critique du rationalisme en architecture développée dans la première partie du livre contribue à dépasser toutes les pensées simplificatrices à propos de l'architecture et de la ville. L'architecture ne peut pas se penser aujourd'hui sans la ville, ni la ville sans ses habitants. L'architecture doit donc convoquer à son chevet non seulement la technique et le design, mais également l'urbanisme, la sociologie, la psychologie, l'histoire voire la mythologie, la culture, la démographie, l'économie, l'écologie. La seconde partie (parcourant l'œuvre de Louis Kahn, Luis Barragàn, Henri Gaudin, Vittorio Gregotti, John Hejduk, Peter Eisenman, Bernard Tschumi, Christian de Portzamparc, Renzo Piano) vise à faire prendre conscience de la pertinence et de la puissance des outils conceptuels qui ont été forgés par des penseurs issus de domaines très divers, aussi bien en sciences exactes qu'en sciences humaines, et que l'on peut regrouper sous le label "pensée de la complexité"

Edmund Burke's "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful" is one of the most important works of aesthetics ever published. Whilst many writers have taken up their pen to write of "the beautiful", Burkes subject here was that quality he uniquely distinguished as "the sublime" - an all-consuming force beyond beauty that compelled terror as much as rapture in(...)

Summary:
Edmund Burke's "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful" is one of the most important works of aesthetics ever published. Whilst many writers have taken up their pen to write of "the beautiful", Burkes subject here was that quality he uniquely distinguished as "the sublime" - an all-consuming force beyond beauty that compelled terror as much as rapture in all who beheld it. It was an analysis that would go on to inspire some of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, including Immanuel Kant and Denis Diderot. The Routledge Classics edition presents the authoritative text of the first critical edition of Burkes essay ever published, including a substantial critical and historical commentary.

Summary:
In this publication, Fred Rush argues this is a consequence of neglecting the role of the body in architecture. Our encounter with a building is first and foremost a bodily one; buildings are lived-in, communal spaces and their construction reveals a lot about our relation to the environment as a whole.

Summary:
Rebecca Solnit has made a vocation of journeying into difficult territory and reporting back, as an environmentalist, antiglobalization activist, and public intellectual. Storming the Gates of Paradise, an anthology of her essential essays from the past ten years, takes the reader from the Pyrenees to the U.S.-Mexican border, from San Francisco to London, from open sky to the deepest mines, and from the antislavery struggles of two hundred years ago to today's street protests. The nearly forty essays collected here comprise a unique guidebook to the American landscape after the millennium–not just the deserts, skies, gardens, and wilderness areas that have long made up Solnit's subject matter, but the social landscape of democracy and repression, of borders, ruins, and protests. She ventures into territories as dark as prison and as sublime as a broad vista, revealing beauty in the harshest landscape and political struggle in the most apparently serene view. Her introduction sets the tone and the book's overarching themes as she describes Thoreau, leaving the jail cell where he had been confined for refusing to pay war taxes and proceeding directly to his favorite huckleberry patch. In this way she links pleasure to politics, brilliantly demonstrating that the path to paradise has often run through prison.

The Familiar and the Unfamiliar in Twentieth-Century Architecture examines the work--written and built--of four seminal twentieth-century architects and firms: Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Aldo Rossi, and the partnership of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. In approaching the history of twentieth-century Western architecture from the perspective of the architectural subject--the person architects imagine experiencing their work--Jean La Marche reveals new insights into the ways humans are imagined in relation to architecture.
