Summary:
Where have all the fishballs gone? From a journalist deeply attuned to the subtleties of Hong Kong life comes "Borrowed Spaces", a chronicle of the ways in which the grassroots citizens of Hong Kong reshape their city to make up for the shortcomings of their bureaucratic government. Mango trees sprouting on roundabouts, fishball stalls and neon signs: these are just some of the Hong Kong icons that are casualties in the struggle to reclaim public spaces. Christopher DeWolf explores the history of Hong Kong’s urban growth through the daily tug of war between the people’s needs to express themselves and government regulations.

Summary:
Professor Zhao Xiang, from Fukuoka University, provides indepth analyses of the historical influences of a dozen different design themes that have played a vital role in Japanese professional practice across the last six decades, such as the stereoscopic detached living mode; the new parameters for personal and traditional 'space'; the spatial responses to a modern family concept; the use of 'abstract space'; and even urban guerilla housing. There are also more than 40 case studies, illustrated throughout, that serve as the strongest reflection of the rich diversity of modern houses currently trending across Japan today.

Summary:
Au Japon, la grande gare ferroviaire cristallise de multiples enjeux de la fabrique et du renouvellement des métropoles. Cet ouvrage se concentre sur la généalogie de cet équipement, du point de vue de ses mutations architecturales et urbaines dans le contexte d’une modernité désirée ou éprouvée. À l’appui de nombreux exemples illustrés, il vise à donner des clés de compréhension d’une forme de centralité singulière, qui allie activité et mouvement et constitue un repère structurant du paysage urbain nippon. L’originalité de ce modèle provient de la persistance, réelle ou mentale, de schémas traditionnels de pensée et pratique de la ville, au sein d’un processus de réinvention et de reconstruction permanent. Matérialisation spatiale du thème de la connexion, la grande gare japonaise marque aussi réflexions et opérations à grande échelle. La relecture d’un ensemble de projets d’architectes japonais pour Tokyo, laboratoire des années de forte croissance, décrypte cette même approche conjuguée de l’architecture des déplacements.

Summary:
In the densely populated urban areas of Japan, small houses with unusual spatial concepts and surprising layout solutions are emerging on narrow strips of land that would normally be considered unsuitable for home construction. Yet it’s not only this sense of space, but also the sensory use of materials and a feel for aesthetics skilfully combined with traditional elements that have fascinated architects outside of Japan. The fact that most of the constructive solutions do not correspond to Central European standards is irrelevant: It’s the innovative approaches that serve as a source of inspiration. This volume presents the latest developments in residential projects from recent years. In addition to lavish photospreads and layout depictions, a selection of detailed solutions are presented that can be adapted to western standards.

Summary:
Dépassant le concept abstrait de « ville émergente » , cet ouvrage nous permet de comprendre le « modèle chinois » dans son efficience et son pouvoir de transformation de l’espace urbain depuis une vingtaine d’années, au Xinjiang et en Mongolie intérieure. Outil stratégique dans la « sinisation » des villes-oasis des Routes de la soie, de peuplement Ouïgour et de confession musulmane, la régularité chinoise modèle les zones d’expansion que sont, avec le Tibet, le Xinjiang, la Mongolie extérieure. Le développement économique que la Chine connaît depuis une vingtaine d’années confère à cette réorganisation de l’espace engagée depuis longtemps, une rapidité et une radicalité exceptionnelles. Des scenarios inédits de destruction, de transformation ou d’édification de villes apparaissent.
