Summary:
"Architecture of invention" explores the experimental side of architecture through an architecture of books. It brings together ten experimental bibliographies conceived as a dialogue between expanded, spatial art and a critical, relational architecture that reflects on its own status. An intertextual and generative framework structures the project, producing narratives and cross-references among books and publications that are not necessarily contemporaneous or disciplinary. The ordering maps multiple cultural trajectories along a non-linear timeline marked by epochal leaps, ranging from avant-garde architecture to conceptual, radical, experimental and hardcore architecture. These constellations address themes such as construction and deconstruction, image and media, the body, the city, crisis, and critical practice.

Over the past thirty years, the number of architectural laboratories has surged from a handful to hundreds across the globe. Yet the term remains elusive: What defines an architectural lab? And why has it become so compelling to architects today? "The Architectural Laboratory" is the first volume to critically address these questions, assembling a series of essays that examine some of the most remarkable architectural labs of the twentieth century. While scientific laboratories have long been the subject of scholarly inquiry, architecture labs remain underexplored. This book situates them within their specific architectural-historical contexts, revealing how they have operated both metaphorically and materially.

En s'attachant à appliquer les thèses opéraïstes aux domaines de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, l'auteur propose une réflexion sur la métropole comme lieu de l'accumulation capitaliste et de l'antagonisme social. La ville devient dans cette optique l'un des sites majeurs de déploiement de la critique sociale, mais aussi de bon nombre d'entreprises avant-gardistes et utopiques : l'espace urbain comme enjeu politique, imbriqué aux rapports de domination et d'aliénation, qu'il s'agit toujours de subvertir.Projet et utopie ou comment l'histoire de l'architecture se fait critique de l'idéologie.

J’ai choisi, à Paris, douze lieux, des rues, des places, des carrefours, liés à des souvenirs, à des événements ou à des moments importants de mon existence. Chaque mois, je décris deux de ces lieux ; une première fois, sur place (dans un café ou dans la rue même) je décris « ce que je vois » de la manière la plus neutre possible, j’énumère les magasins, quelques détails d’architecture, quelques micro-événements (une voiture de pompiers qui passe, une dame qui attache son chien avant d’entrer dans une charcuterie, un déménagement, des affiches, des gens, etc.) ; une deuxième fois, n’importe où (chez moi, au café, au bureau) je décris le lieu de mémoire, j’évoque les souvenirs qui lui sont liés, les gens que j’y ai connus, etc. Chaque texte [...] est, une fois terminé, enfermé dans une enveloppe que je cachette à la cire. Au bout d’un an, j’aurai décrit chacun de mes lieux deux fois, une fois sur le mode du souvenir, une fois sur place en description réelle. Je recommence ainsi pendant douze ans [...]. J’ai commencé en janvier 1969 ; j’aurai fini en décembre 1980 ! j’ouvrirai alors les 288 enveloppes cachetées [...]. Je n’ai pas une idée très claire du résultat final, mais je pense qu’on y verra tout à la fois le vieillissement des lieux, le vieillissement de mon écriture, le vieillissement de mes souvenirs : le temps retrouvé se confond avec le temps perdu ; le temps s’accroche à ce projet, en constitue la structure et la contrainte ; le livre n’est plus restitution d’un temps passé, mais mesure du temps qui s’écoule ; le temps de l’écriture, qui était jusqu’à présent un temps pour rien, un temps mort, que l’on feignait d’ignorer ou que l’on ne restituait qu’arbitrairement (L’Emploi du temps), qui restait toujours à côté du livre (même chez Proust), deviendra ici l’axe essentiel. Je n’ai pas encore de titre pour ce projet ; ce pourrait être Loci Soli (ou Soli Loci) ou, plus simplement, "Lieux". »

Summary:
This volume investigates the influence of cruising cultures on the fields of architecture and urbanism by constructing a typology of the different spaces produced by sexual subcultures, mainly those of gay men. From appropriated spaces such parks, public toilets and streets to dedicated spaces such as sex clubs, bars, bathhouses and geosocial dating apps, cruising has subverted the libidinal cartography and uses of the modern metropolis. A series of case studies on specific cruising hotspots around the world—from the men’s bathrooms in New York’s Central Park to the island of Lesbos, Greece, to the Peace Memorial Park in Taipei, Taiwan—is complemented by photographs, city planning maps and essays on related topics such as the ethics of glory holes.

Summary:
This special issue of "Writingplace" brings together the work of the EU COST Writing Urban Places network. Using narrative approaches to analysis and design, the network highlights the specificity of local urban cultures in contemporary European cities. Drawing on research from a range of disciplines (including architecture, urban studies, literary theory, sociology and media studies), the issue explores spatial approaches that promote responsible, site-specific and socially inclusive design strategies for European cities. The first section offers reflections on the theoretical, methodological and practical outcomes of the Writing Urban Places project. The second part contains case studies of European cities that were studied during the EU COST Action, including Limerick, Almada, Osijek, Tallinn, Tampere, Porto, Canakalle, Skopje and Delft. These collected findings offer important insights for students, scholars and spatial practitioners interested in urban planning and the European city.
