Summary:
Preservation is Overtaking Us brings together two lectures given by Rem Koolhaas at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, along with a response (framed as a supplement to the original lectures) by Jorge Otero-Pailos. In the first essay Koohaas describes alternative strategies for preserving Beijing, China. The second talk marks the inaugural Paul Spencer Byard lecture, named in celebration of the longtime professor of Historic Preservation at GSAPP. These two lectures trace key moments of Koolhaas’ thinking on preservation, including his practice’s entry into China and the commission to redevelop the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In a format well known to Koolhaas’ readers, Otero-Pailos reworks the lectures into a retroactive manifesto, using it to interrogate OMA’s work from within the discipline of preservation. This is the first book in the new GSAPP Transcripts series.

Plasticité du béton, titre du premier numéro, reprend la conférence de l’architecture suisse Christian Dupraz présentée à Genève le 8 septembre 2012, lors des journées européennes du patrimoine consacrées à la pierre et au béton. Associée à la réalisation de surfaces concaves et convexes, la gunite est le mélange de béton et de sable permettant la projection de la matière et sa solidification dans des formes complexes. L’application de cette technique est historiquement liée au développement des coques et à la recherche exigeante d’ingénieurs (Eduardo Torroja, Heinz Isler, Ulrich Müther,…) mais également au formidable questionnement des architectes pour une valorisation de la forme libre (Pascal Haüsermann, Vittorio Giorgini, Jacques Couëlle…). Ce parallélisme entre la démarche maîtrisée des uns et la quête aléatoire des autres nous renseigne sur la grande vitalité de notre histoire.

What might Gianbattista Piranesi (1720-1778) contribute to today’s architectural debate? Could his vision of a pensile city inspire the city of tomorrow? Archescape is a new concept based on a reading of Piranesi’s Campo Marzio, his sublime reconstruction of ancient Rome. Archescape, a fusion of the words architecture and escape into a new ‘scape’, addresses two issues: the city flight that tends towards the destruction of what it looks for, and the sprawling urban footprint that is unsustainable and blocks escape. It also conceives a way out: the creation of flight lines inside a dense city.
