Summary:
Comment, au milieu du XIXe siècle, Paris a-t-elle pu devenir l’incarnation urbaine de la modernité ? Pour répondre à cette question, David Harvey a exploré les mutations connues par la ville à cette époque : transformation physique, avec les grands projets d’Haussmann, qui remplace le plan médiéval par les grands boulevards ; transformation économique, avec une nouvelle forme de capitalisme dominée par les puissances financières et industrielles ; transformation culturelle, avec l’irruption de ce qu’on appellera plus tard le modernisme ; transformation sociale, avec l’émergence de violents antagonismes de classes qui atteignent leur paroxysme dans les révolutions de 1848 et de 1871. En présentant la ville moderne comme le produit instable de forces hétérogènes et contradictoires, David Harvey nous offre une image vivante du fonctionnement de Paris ainsi qu’une vision panoramique de la période décisive que fut le Second Empire. Mais cette analyse de la ville moderne est aussi l’occasion d’une réflexion magistrale sur la ville contemporaine – sur la part de la population dans l’urbanisation, sur son accès aux ressources, en somme sur le «droit à la ville».

Invité à redéfinir simplement les zones d’accueil et d’accès de la salle de théâtre des Arbalestriers dans l’esprit des Maisons Folie qui venaient de voir le jour à Lille en 2004, Matador est parvenu à réaffecter l’ensemble du domaine exploitable. Si la salle de théâtre est restée dans son état initial, Matador, pratiquant une architecture de friche, revendique pleinement l’originalité des concepts d’Espace des possibles et de Margin’halle – ces deux lieux formant, avec la cour centrale, la Maison Folie de Mons

Summary:
"Typology", volume 2 of the new series Christ & Gantenbein Review, presents more than 150 buildings located in Rome, New York, Hong Kong and Buenos Aires that have been analysed by the chair of Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. This selective and subjective inventory of metropolitan and essentially anonymous 20th-century building production provides a basis for urban project creation. In this new book, the buildings are documented with floor plans, axonometric projections, recent photographs and key information. The theoretical essay by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein and four texts by other authors explain the interactions between the contexts, especially the governing urban rule sets and the buildings, and show the potential for the design of a contemporary urban architecture.

In 1952 the New Yorker published a three-part essay by A. J. Liebling in which he dubbed Chicago the “Second City.” From garbage collection to the skyline, nothing escaped Liebling’s withering gaze. Among the outraged responses from Chicago residents was one that Liebling described as the apotheosis of such criticism: a postcard that read, simply, “You were never in(...)

Summary:
In 1952 the New Yorker published a three-part essay by A. J. Liebling in which he dubbed Chicago the “Second City.” From garbage collection to the skyline, nothing escaped Liebling’s withering gaze. Among the outraged responses from Chicago residents was one that Liebling described as the apotheosis of such criticism: a postcard that read, simply, “You were never in Chicago.” Neil Steinberg has lived in and around Chicago for more than three decades — ever since he left his hometown of Berea, Ohio, to attend Northwestern — yet he remains fascinated by the dynamics captured in Liebling’s anecdote. In You Were Never in Chicago Steinberg weaves the story of his own coming-of-age as a young outsider who made his way into the inner circles and upper levels of Chicago journalism with a nuanced portrait of the city that would surprise even lifelong residents. Steinberg takes readers through Chicago’s vanishing industrial past and explores the city from the quaint skybridge between the towers of the Wrigley Building, to the depths of the vast Deep Tunnel system below the streets. He deftly explains the city’s complex web of political favoritism and carefully profiles the characters he meets along the way, from greats of jazz and journalism to small-business owners just getting by. Throughout, Steinberg never loses the curiosity and close observation of an outsider, while thoughtfully considering how this perspective has shaped the city, and what it really means to belong.
