Summary:
“All too often,” wrote disabled architect Ronald Mace, “designers don’t take the needs of disabled and elderly people into account.” Building Access investigates twentieth-century strategies for designing the world with disability in mind. Commonly understood in terms of curb cuts, automatic doors, Braille signs, and flexible kitchens, Universal Design purported to create a built environment for everyone, not only the average citizen. But who counts as “everyone,” Aimi Hamraie asks, and how can designers know? Blending technoscience studies and design history with critical disability, race, and feminist theories, Building Access interrogates the historical, cultural, and theoretical contexts for these questions, offering a groundbreaking critical history of Universal Design. Hamraie reveals that the twentieth-century shift from “design for the average” to “design for all” took place through liberal political, economic, and scientific structures concerned with defining the disabled user and designing in its name. Tracing the co-evolution of accessible design for disabled veterans, a radical disability maker movement, disability rights law, and strategies for diversifying the architecture profession, Hamraie shows that Universal Design was not just an approach to creating new products or spaces, but also a sustained, understated activist movement challenging dominant understandings of disability in architecture, medicine, and society.

Summary:
In Unlocking the Church, William Whyte explores a forgotten revolution in social and architectural history and in the history of the Church. He details the architectural and theological debates of the day, explaining how the Tractarians of Oxford and the Ecclesiologists of Cambridge were embroiled in the aesthetics of architecture, and how the Victorians profoundly changed the ways in which buildings were understood and experienced. No longer mere receptacles for worship, churches became active agents in their own rights, capable of conveying theological ideas and designed to shape people's emotions. These church buildings are now a challenge: their maintenance, repair or repurposing are pressing problems for parishes in age of declining attendance and dwindling funds. By understanding their past, unlocking the secrets of their space, there might be answers in how to deal with the legacy of the Victorians now and into the future.

In the 1960s and ’70s, architects, influenced by recent developments in computing and the rise of structuralist and poststructuralist thinking, began to radically rethink how architecture could be created.

Though various new approaches gained favor, they had one thing in common: they advocated moving away from the traditional reliance on an individual architect’s knowledge and instincts and toward the use of external tools and processes that were considered objective, logical, or natural.

Summary:
What is the nature of the interaction between architecture and machines as key objects in human design, and how does this interplay work? The contributors to this book explore this multifaceted interchange in its broad thematic manifestations and historical depth, focusing above all on three aspects: machines that assist in the design and construction of buildings, those that perform their tasks inside the walls and structures of buildings, and—in particular—machines that act as models and images of architectural thought. What emerges is that the subject of machines within the architectural framework has been rooted not simply in concrete technical questions, but rather to a far greater extent in general programs, processes, and performances, and thus in fundamental categories of built space.

Avec sa silhouette iconique de Babel des Temps modernes, on croit toujours se « souvenir » du Monument à la IIIe Internationale (1919-1920) de V. Tatline (1885-1953). Pourtant, notre esprit ne retient souvent de la « Tour Tatline » que la sculpture tirée d'un musée imaginaire, alors qu'il s'agit d'abord du modèle réduit d'une « anti-Tour Eiffel » non réalisée.

Bien plus élevée que les 160 m du treillis fuselé de la Tour TSF (1920-1922) de l'ingénieur-architecte V. Choukhov (1853-1939), les 400 m de contreplongées constructivistes auraient dû incarner un monument socialiste et une œuvre d'art cosmopolite totale, tour à tour promenade cinématique, centre d'émission radio et haut-parleur d'amplification de la voix de Moscou : à la ville et au monde prolétarien.

Summary:
Après avoir été comparé par Adolf Loos à un «crime» et quasi abandonné par l’architecture moderne, l’ornement architectural a fait un retour spectaculaire ces dernières années, souvent en relation avec la montée en puissance des outils numériques. Quel sens donner à ce phénomène? En même temps qu’il semble renouer avec une tradition pluriséculaire, l’ornement architectural contemporain diffère de ses prédécesseurs sur un certain nombre de points clefs. Ce livre commence par explorer ces différences avant de proposer deux fils conducteurs permettant de relier passé et présent, ornement traditionnel et ornement contemporain. L’ornement présente tout d’abord des liens étroits avec la question du ou plutôt des sujets de l’architecture: concepteurs, artisans, clients, spectateurs qui tous contribuent à la production et à la réception de l’architecture.

Cet abandon, qu’il soit partiel ou total, temporaire ou durable, est examiné ici au prisme du « potentiel » que pourrait représenter la survivance de ces structures. Ciblant 12 études de cas, cette première édition des Cahiers du Laboratoire d’Étude de l’Architecture Potentielle (LEAP) convoque autour de cette thématique la discipline architecturale, l’histoire de l’art et la sémiotique. De Montréal à Berlin, de Détroit à Turin, la variété des contributions est organisée autour de quatre tensions interrogeant le statut de ces structures (monumentalité/monument), leur échelle (architecture/urbanisme), les figures qu’elles cristallisent (utopie/ruine) et les imaginaires qui s’y développent (résistances/potentiels).
