Summary:
Cette publication représente une fiction architecturale qui prend la forme d'un roman-photo, né de la rencontre entre un auteur, Ugo Bienvenu, et les architectes du Pavillon français de la 18e Biennale internationale d'architecture de Venise. Ugo Bienvenu, dessinateur et réalisateur, imagine dans ce roman l'histoire et le mythe du Ball Theater. Son récit se situe dans un monde suspendu entre passé et futur, qui mêle le trouble de l'abandon et la joie d'une fête collective. L'histoire nous conduit à suivre le périple d'une petite communauté d'enfants étrangement semblables et d'un robot rouillé, et leur découverte d'objets énigmatiques qu'ils entreprennent d'assembler pour leur redonner vie. Le titre vient d'un extrait, remanié et privé de sens, d'un traité latin. Il fait référence à la pratique courante, dans le milieu du graphisme et de l'imprimerie, qui consiste à employer ce texte comme remplissage temporaire des zones de texte en attente. Dans le contexte de l'ouvrage, l'association de ces deux termes latins renvoie à l'idée d'un conte architectural dont le sens émerge au fil de l'action, avant les mots et les explications.

Summary:
Exploring the infinite ways in which plastics permeate our bodies and our world, ''Everlasting Plastics'' offers intimate and political accounts of our fraught yet enmeshed kinship with these materials. Rather than making a case for or against the material, the writings and artworks collected in this volume attempt to register our ongoing toxic dependencies on plastic, its impact on other material cultures and behaviors, and the harm and possibilities it entangles for our collective futures. ''Everlasting Plastics'' records and expands upon the exhibition of the US Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale, which excavated the ways synthetics both shape and erode contemporary ecologies, economies, and the built environment.

Summary:
Le catalogue prospectif Carbone 20 met en exergue des pratiques artistiques qui font appel au collectif et font naître d’autres manières de faire. Il explore les réseaux visibles et invisibles, s’arrêtant sur des initiatives multiples et situées, de Saint-Étienne à sa région et jusqu’à l’international. Cet ouvrage rassemble des entretiens, des témoignages, des mises en perspectives historiques, des analyses d'expériences. Il est parsemé d'images liées à ces propositions et de scans de projets éditoriaux, comme autant d'entrées dans les pratiques auto-organisées. C’est une célébration de tentatives et de stratégies aux formes et aux engagements différents, dans ce présent où il n’y aurait pas d’alternatives, qui nous amène sans cesse à interroger positionnements, manières de circuler, de faire, d’agir et d’être ensemble notamment par le champ de l’art contemporain.

Summary:
The official catalog of the 15th Venice Biennale Architecture Exhibition. More and more people on the planet are looking for a decent place to live, even though the chances to find one are becoming tougher and tougher by the hour. Nevertheless, on the frontlines of the built environment there lingers a sense of vitality that brings architecture to look at reality in a positive way. This is what people will see at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition: success stories and exemplary cases where architecture has made, is making, and will make a difference. Reporting from the Front aims at explaining to a broader audience what it means to improve the quality of life while working on the margins, under heavy circumstances, and facing pressing challenges. And what it is like to be on the cutting edge trying to conquer new fields.

Summary:
Globalization, technology and politics have altered the definition and expectations of citizenship and the right to place. "Dimensions of Citizenship" documents contributions from the seven firms selected to represent the United States in the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. This volume profiles and illustrates each of the US Pavilion contributions and contextualizes them in terms of scale. Drawing inspiration from the Eames' Power of Ten, "Dimensions of Citizenship" provides a view of belonging across seven stages starting with the individual (Citizen), then the collective (Civic, Region, Nation) and expanding to include all phases of contemporary society, real and projected (Globe, Network, Cosmos).
