Summary:
D'où proviennent les formes ? Dans ce livre l'anthropologue Tim Ingold propose de déconstruire le modèle philosophique hylémorphique qui, depuis Aristote, pense l'acte de fabrication comme l'imposition d'une forme, ou d'un projet, à la matière inerte. Ce renversement théorique n'est possible qu'à la faveur d'une approche matérialiste de la fabrication qui révèle la(...)

Dans ce livre l'anthropologue Tim Ingold propose de déconstruire le modèle philosophique hylémorphique qui, depuis Aristote, pense l'acte de fabrication comme l'imposition d'une forme, ou d'un projet, à la matière inerte. Ce renversement théorique n'est possible qu'à la faveur d'une approche matérialiste de la fabrication qui révèle la correspondance des pratiques avec les matériaux, leur itinérance au sein de la matière pour engendrer des formes. Cette réflexion conduit Ingold à faire la proposition d'une pédagogie participante suggérant une nouvelle conception de l'enseignement fondée sur l'élucidation des pratiques constitutives des gestes de fabrication. L'anthropologie, l'archéologie, l'art et l'architecture ne sont pas ici considérées comme des disciplines académiques, mais comme des manières de faire qui explorent chacune, à leur façon, les conditions et les potentiels de la vie humaine au sein de son environnement.

Tout «marché» implique un échange; de quel échange de valeurs l’architecture est-elle le théâtre? Quels critères président aux choix des projets? Par ailleurs, le goût des élus, la décision régalienne, les «jurys» aux motivations complexes, la doxa architecturale exercent – de manière concentrée ou diffuse, manifeste ou implicite – un pouvoir qui façonne nos villes. L’histoire des concours elle-même est riche d’enseignements sur le rapport que la société, à travers la commande publique, a entretenu avec les grands projets.

Focused on post-labor, psychopathology, and plasticity of human mind and body, this book introduces insight, critiques, and propositions in the area of “self-design,” ranging from design and architecture to science, media, history, philosophy, and contemporary art. The field of design has radically expanded. As a practice, design is no longer limited to the world of material objects, but rather extends from carefully crafted individual looks and online identities, to the surrounding galaxies of personal devices, new materials, interfaces, networks, systems, infrastructures, data, chemicals, organisms, and genetic codes.

In particular, if the first chapters review the historical/critical works of Andrea Branzi and of Radical Movement, the last opens a new parenthesis of research, right now never expressed: the issues ignored by Modernity, like life, death, destiny and the sacred: themes which underline the new drama and the fracture between tragedy and normality, between consumerism and death, between theology and technology, between the silence of reason and the voice of an irrational reality.

Summary:
The making of shadows is an act as old as architecture itself. From the gloom of the medieval hearth through to the masterworks of modernism, shadows have been an essential yet neglected presence in architectural history. "Shadow-Makers" tells for the first time the history of shadows in architecture. It weaves together a rich narrative – combining close readings of significant buildings both ancient and modern with architectural theory and art history – to reveal the key places and moments where shadows shaped architecture in distinctive and dynamic ways. It shows how shadows are used as an architectural instrument of form, composition, and visual effect, while also exploring the deeper cultural context – tracing differing conceptions of their meaning and symbolism, whether as places of refuge, devotion, terror, occult practice, sublime experience or as metaphors of the unconscious.
