Summary:
Comme l'a déclaré Itô Teiji à propos de la difficulté de définir l'esthétique japonaise : « Le dilemme auquel nous sommes confrontés vient de ce que notre compréhension est intuitive et perceptuelle plutôt que rationnelle et logique. » De nombreux écrivains japonais privilégient dans la structure de leur travail une qualité d'indécision. Ce ne sont donc pas les hypothèses(...)

Comme l'a déclaré Itô Teiji à propos de la difficulté de définir l'esthétique japonaise : « Le dilemme auquel nous sommes confrontés vient de ce que notre compréhension est intuitive et perceptuelle plutôt que rationnelle et logique. » De nombreux écrivains japonais privilégient dans la structure de leur travail une qualité d'indécision. Ce ne sont donc pas les hypothèses de l'« esprit qui contrôle » de l'auteur qui sont suivies mais, comme le dit l'expression japonaise, le pinceau lui-même. Le terme japonais zuihitsu, qu'on peut traduire par « essai », n'implique rien d'autre que cela : suivre le pinceau, l'autoriser à tenir les rênes. Par conséquent, il ne s'agit pas ici de s'escrimer pour arriver à des conclusions logiques. Nous chercherons plutôt à définir ces perceptions et variations de l'appréciation esthétique dans un style qui suggère le caractère très incertain de leur description.

Summary:
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has one of the most important buildings of the 20th century: its parliamentary building by Louis I. Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known, however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick. Alongside texts by Andreas Ruby, Niklaus Graber, Kazi Khaleed, Saif Ul Haque and Syed Manzoorul Islam, the special photographs taken by Iwan Baan for this publication capture the imagination.

Summary:
If past centuries belonged to Europe and much of the last century has been dominated by America, then now it is China’s turn. For decades, the nation has experienced unprecedented economic growth, and it managed to evade the West’s economic recession. It has gained a significant economic presence in nearly every part of the world. Yet China is now in the midst of an economic slowdown, which impacts its architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure, both at home and abroad. Nanne de Ru and Hans Ibelings undertake a closer examination of this process, with reports from Canada, Portugal, Angola, South Africa, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Central and South America.

Based on his experiences teaching, researching and practicing in India, Henrik Valeur discusses some of the problems related to the urban transition of India, including air pollution, contamination and depletion of fresh water resources, its precarious food situation, the lack of proper housing, and various environmental and human health problems related to motorized transportation. He proposes a number of possible solutions, including the use of plants and natural ventilation to create clean indoor air, the revitalisation of an existing system of water canals, the creation of vertical kitchen gardens, a strategy for making an entire neighbourhood car-free and a design for self-designed, low-cost housing.

It simultaneously presents and enquires into this role, and the associated tasks and aims of museums and cultural spaces, against the backdrop of the global, digital, urban and demographic challenges of the 21st Century, as well as the more locally-specific concerns of heritage and identity. Taking each of sixteen museums as case studies, the exhibition focuses on a set of crucial questions. How is local and national identity defined by the museum design and curation? How does the museum function within the context of its local social and urban environment? Which form or shape was identified as being most suitable for the museum’s function and its context?
