Simultanément, il interroge la dimension politique et sociale de cette question, notamment les dispositifs législatifs qui visent à concrétiser le droit au logement pour tous.

In an era of globalisation, there is an unprecedented scale and nature of contemporary migrant flows, as well as the flow of goods, capital, ideas, images and technology. This sheer number and mobility of contemporary migrants clearly has massively disruptive effects on traditional modes of dwelling however they were manifest in everyday life.

Summary:
In an era of globalisation, there is an unprecedented scale and nature of contemporary migrant flows, as well as the flow of goods, capital, ideas, images and technology. This sheer number and mobility of contemporary migrants clearly has massively disruptive effects on traditional modes of dwelling however they were manifest in everyday life. But contemporary migrancy also has important consequences for the way dwelling is conceptualised more generally. This book is concerned with the modes of dwelling that emerge through migrancy; it is also concerned with the effects these modes of dwelling have for dominant conceptions of space and place; and finally, it is interested in the kinds of architectures that become possible if those effects are taken seriously. This book inspects the intersections between architectures of place and flows of migrancy. It does so without seeking to defend the idea of place, nor lament its passing. Rather, this book is an exploration of the often complex and unorthodox modes of dwelling that are emerging precisely from within the ruins of the idea of place. This exploration is informed by post-structuralist analyses of architecture and urbanism, and their representation in media such as film. It focuses on the Pacific Rim as an intensified zone of global flows. Within the Pacific Rim there are complex tensions between the new economies of Asia and the settler nations of Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand. These tensions produce difficulties for the narrative of the nation state, and herald conditions that no longer conform to the geo-political norms of the old world.

Summary:
Consider the notions of time, efficiency and interactivity in the context of architecture and instantly you may find your head clouded with images of technocratic modernism. Think of ecology and environmental issues in relation to buildings and what you get is either a vision of Arcadian green landscapes thinly built-on with small reed-roofed houses, or horrific projects with environmentally responsible add-ons. The smart thing to do is to think in terms of interaction, minimum use of materials and energy, and careful planning over longer periods of time, so as to reduce the environmental impact of this major human activity called building. What you then get is smart architecture. "Smart Architecture" is a lavishly illustrated, light-hearted book. The outcome of the research project that SLA Foundation presented on its smartarch website (www.smartarch.nl), it mainly consists of examples involving climate control, supplemented with new ideas on planning, building and construction and the application of intelligent systems, all contributing to sustainability. In the book challenges and opportunities are analysed, guided by numerous inspiring examples. It presents a smart way to fulfil user demands now and in roughly three hundred years' time.

Summary:
Using key texts by the German architect and theorist Gottfried Semper, Mari Hvattum offers a reinterpretation of historicism, which is here viewed both as a philosophical outlook and as an architectural problem. Hvattum focuses on Semper’s two major concerns: an understanding of the ontological significance of art and architecture, and the rendering of art and architecture as the objects of scientific investigation and prediction. Hvattum investigates the background and implications of these conflicting concerns. By examining the historicist fusion of Romanticism and Positivism, the book seeks to understand the nature as well as the limits of the modern dream of a "method of inventing". More than an intellectual biography, "Gottfried Semper and the Problem of Historicism" explores historicism and its implications for modern architectural discourse and practice.

Selon que l'on procède à l'élaboration d'un a priori formel simple : cube, parallélépipède rectangle, cylindre, pyramide, dans lequel devra s'inscrire nécessairement la totalité du programme, ou selon que l'on agence entre eux des volumes correspondant chacun à une partie du programme pour aboutir enfin à un ensemble sans figure préétablie. Cette constatation toute simple est cependant le point de départ d'une large réflexion sur l'organisation de l'espace, aussi bien architectural qu'urbanistique. Elle est aussi le moyen d'une mise en lumière de correspondances dans l'histoire avec les idées philosophiques et les connaissances scientifiques du moment. Les matrices génératives que sont le mégaron et le labyrinthe correspondant aux deux natures de l'architecture, ont depuis toujours constitué l'essence même des espaces, et leur mise en valeur éclaire d'un jour nouveau non seulement l'histoire de l'art, mais donne aussi une clé de compréhension des créations du monde contemporain. Cette assertion d'une bipolarité de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, avec d'un côté le simple et de l'autre le complexe, loin d'être réductrice, ouvre la porte à de multiples niveaux de compréhension.
