Summary:
Before architectural postmodernism was named as such, the process of postmodernizing architecture had already begun implicating architectural work in the increasingly information-driven logic of the late twentieth century. Though radical, the effects of this process have long been excluded from the predominant histories of postmodernism, which continue to rely on notions(...)

Summary:
Before architectural postmodernism was named as such, the process of postmodernizing architecture had already begun implicating architectural work in the increasingly information-driven logic of the late twentieth century. Though radical, the effects of this process have long been excluded from the predominant histories of postmodernism, which continue to rely on notions of individual and creative genius, architectural autonomy, and stylistic genealogies. Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernization Effects places material devices, such as Pantone chips, research grant applications, questionnaires, Xerography, and travel photography, at the forefront of a counter-narrative that recasts these informatic procedures as fundamentally architectural and as the primary of catalysts of the loose agglomeration of styles that was once called postmodernism.

Summary:
How do we design our cities when our most intimate experiences are incessantly tracked and our feelings become the base of new modes of production that prioritize the immaterial over the material? Since the 2008 financial crisis, lists of well-being indicators, happiness indexes, and quality-of-life rankings have become viral. Concurrently, the emotional data presented in these surveys- including perceptions on questions such as loneliness, friendship and intimate fears- feed an expanding political agenda of happiness and a new form of market whose most decisive asset is "affect." 'Our Happy Life' investigates the architectural implications of this trend by dissecting and questioning the political, economic, and emotional conditions that generate space today. Organized as a visual narrative with critical readings by Will Davies, Daniel Fujiwara, Simon Fujiwara, Ingo Niermann, Deane Simpson, and Mirko Zardini, this book reveals architecture, city, and landscape as contested surfaces, caught between the intagible guidelines of happiness indexes, the new marketplace of emotions, and the relentless ideology of positivity.

Summary:
Comment concevoir la ville lorsque nos expériences les plus intimes sont constamment traquées et nos sentiments utilisés comme base à de nouveaux modes de production favorisant l’immatériel au détriment du matériel ? Depuis la crise financière de 2008, les listes d’indicateurs du bien-être et d’indices du bonheur, ainsi que les classements fondés sur la qualité de vie, circulent de manière virale. Parallèlement, les données émotionnelles présentées dans ces enquêtes, y compris les perceptions relatives aux notions de solitude, d’amitié et de peurs intimes, alimentent un agenda politique du bonheur en croissance et une nouvelle forme de marché dont l’atout le plus déterminant est l’« affect ». Nos jours heureux examine les implications architecturales de cette tendance en disséquant et en questionnant les conditions politiques, économiques et émotionnelles qui génèrent l’espace aujourd’hui. Structuré comme une narration visuelle – assortie de lectures critiques de William Davies, Daniel Fujiwara, Simon Fujiwara, Ingo Niermann, Deane Simpson et Mirko Zardini –, cet ouvrage présente l’architecture, la ville et le paysage comme des surfaces contestées, prises entre les lignes directrices intangibles des indices de bonheur, le nouveau marché des émotions et l’idéologie implacable de la positivité.

Summary:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

Les thèmes parcourus, comme le rôle des villes dans la guerre aérienne, les nouveaux bâtiments des usines, la participation directe de l'architecture à la guerre, les mégaprojets et les développements dans la vie civile après la guerre, révèlent l'ampleur de la contribution des architectes à tous les aspects de la mobilisation totale de ces années douloureuses.

Architecture in Uniform offers a new perspective on the architectural history of the war, documenting a series of episodes that took place between the bombings of Guernica in 1937 and Hiroshima in 1945, leading to the definitive supremacy of modernism in architecture. It discusses topics such as the role of cities in the air war, the new buildings erected for industrial production, architecture's participation in actual warfare, and wartime mega-projects and post-war developments in the civilian sphere, revealing the extent of the contribution made by architects to all aspects of the mobilisation that characterised the war years.
