Summary:
In this book, Edwin Heathcote looks at the cultural impact of street furniture using photography as a measure of how these things have become indispensable components of the cityscape.

Summary:
The way public spaces are designed reflects the period in which they were created. However, in our globalized world of experience and images the desire for uniqueness tends to achieve the opposite: increasingly, designers of open spaces resort to the same devices and thereby distance themselves from the urban context. The author analyzes ten outstanding contemporary designs of public spaces in Europe in terms of their function in the urban context and what materials are used for their implementation. In interviews with the designers she retraces the changes of the concepts during the design stage of the projects, underpinning her findings with numerous sketches. In addition, her research focuses on how the projects were received in the community. A topical introduction to the design of public spaces.

The creativity with which the skaters 'use' the city and how they question (architectural) rules, offer new perspectives on the design and use of public space by different groups of users. The call for ‘Reclaiming the Street’ was the design of an object or adaptation of urban space to be used by skateboarders and the general public, encouraging multiple uses. With a text by architectural historian Ian Borden and a chapter from Jocko Weyland’s ‘The Answer is Never’.

Première étude détaillée consacrée à l'histoire d'un art qui se crée dans la rue depuis plus de quarante ans et ne cesse de modifier notre expérience de la ville, Street art et graffiti dresse le portrait de cette pratique artistique. Comprendre le graffiti, sa philosophie, ses techniques et son vocabulaire est d'autant plus essentiel que cet art, fondé sur la clandestinité et l'anonymat, ne s'adresse pas a priori au grand public. Connaître son évolution permet de comprendre en quoi il a ouvert la voie au street art - pratique éminemment protéiforme qui souvent conjugue contestation et poésie et fait désormais partie, comme le graffiti, de l'art de notre temps. Banksy, Blek le Rat, Faile, Invader, Miss Van, Os Gêmeos, Shepard Fairey ou encore Swoon sont quelques-uns des graffeurs et street artists dont les créations sont analysées dans cet ouvrage qui s'adresse à tous les curieux de culture visuelle contemporaine.
