Summary:
Hohl a 20 ans et arpente la ville en compagie d’autres artistes en exil, tout aussi fauchés, le long d'un axe place de Clichy-La Villette ou Montmartre- Montparnasse. Gares, bordels, brasseries, dancings de troisième zone, abattoirs, banlieues et hôtels meublés où caresser ses illusions de gloire sont les points de repère de cette société de l'ombre qui passe son temps à(...)

Summary:
Hohl a 20 ans et arpente la ville en compagie d’autres artistes en exil, tout aussi fauchés, le long d'un axe place de Clichy-La Villette ou Montmartre- Montparnasse. Gares, bordels, brasseries, dancings de troisième zone, abattoirs, banlieues et hôtels meublés où caresser ses illusions de gloire sont les points de repère de cette société de l'ombre qui passe son temps à boire, marcher et débusquer des coins inexplorés. Mais rapidement le désir de montagne devient pour Hohl une obsession : il se prépare aux pages qu'il écrira l'été 1926 et qui seront le point de départ de son chef-d'oeuvre, Ascension. Paris 1926 est le journal, à la forme assez libre, d’artistes en formation : chaque membre du groupe informel et cosmopolite (peintre, sculpteur, architecte, poète) apporte l'oeil et la sensibilité liés à son art, faisant profiter l'ensemble des secrets de tel immeuble, tel canal ou tel paysage. C'est aussi une ébouriffante galerie de portraits acérés et cruels, tant pour les amis de Hohl que pour les touristes en goguette ou les types de la vie parisienne.

Summary:
Today, spaces no longer represent a bourgeois haven; nor are they the sites of a classical harmony between work and leisure, private and public, the local and the global. The house is not merely a home but a position for negotiations with multiple spheres — the technological as well as the physical and the psychological.

Summary:
Today, spaces no longer represent a bourgeois haven; nor are they the sites of a classical harmony between work and leisure, private and public, the local and the global. The house is not merely a home but a position for negotiations with multiple spheres — the technological as well as the physical and the psychological. In A Topology of Everyday Constellations, Georges Teyssot considers the intrusion of the public sphere into private space, and the blurring of notions of interior, privacy, and intimacy in our societies. He proposes that we rethink design in terms of a new definition of the practices of everyday life. Teyssot considers the door, the window, the mirror, and the screen as thresholds or interstitial spaces that divide the world in two: the outside and the inside. Thresholds, he suggests, work both as markers of boundaries and as bridges to the exterior. The stark choice between boundary and bridge creates a middle space, an in-between that holds the possibility of exchanges and encounters. If the threshold no longer separates public from private, and if we can no longer think of the house as a bastion of privacy, Teyssot asks, does the body still inhabit the house — or does the house, evolving into a series of microdevices, inhabit the body?

Taking views from several accomplished architects spread across all corners of the globe (Tom Kundig, Junya Ishigami, Kerry Hill, Sean Godsell, Smiljan Radic, Paulo David and RCR Aranda Pigem Vilalta Arquitectes), it focuses on the paradigm shift we are witnessing today, with collective creativity springing from far-flung regions and local solutions that are perhaps adaptable to global issues.

Elle interroge par le projet, invente formes et concepts ; participe davantage à la transformation des sujets, des manières d'être et de percevoir qu'elle ne construit des bâtiments. L'objet qu'elle partage avec tous les producteurs de sens ou de forme est"l'invention de nous-mêmes". Le "dispositif architecture" décrit la transmutation des habitudes de faire, la disparition de notions obsolètes et la formation d'une nouvelle réalité. Cet assemblage constitue une stratégie de projet et un label, Architecture Action. Cette activité est la création de concepts, dans une signification qui rend compte aussi bien du travail de l'agence de communication que du travail de la philosophie et de la construction de nos manières de vivre. Les textes sont ainsi rassemblés, sans distinction entre les documents critiques et ceux plus directement entrelacés à des démarches de projet. La brièveté de la valeur accordée aux produits - les bâtiments et les villes se déclassent comme les objets - s'est accompagnée du déplacement de l'intérêt des architectes vers les procédures de conception : l'objet compte moins que l'appareil de sa conception.
