Summary:
Utopia Forever is a collection of current projects and concepts from architecture, city planning, urbanism, and art that point beyond the restrictions of the factual to unleash the potential of creative visions. In contrast to the largely ideal-theoretic approaches of the past, today s utopias take the necessity for societal changes into account. The projects in this book explore how current challenges for architecture, mobility, and energy as well as the logistics of food consumption and waste removal can be met. Whether created by established architects and artists or new talents, the projects in Utopia Forever are radically shaping our notions of life in the future.

Summary:
Alors que la crise économique conduit parfois à renoncer à des projets grandioses faits pour durer, une nouvelle vague de bâtiments et de créations architecturales temporaires déferle sur le monde, que ce soit pour loger de toute urgence des refugiés ou accueillir des spectacles. Autre secteur: celui des expositions et des foires, véritable mine de projets fascinants au service de la mode, de la joaillerie ou du design, mais qui apparaissent et disparaissent en quelques jours. Les défilés de mode ou les expositions d’art bénéficient aussi de cette nouvelle tendance dynamique qui intéresse les plus grands noms de l’architecture contemporaine - comme Zaha Hadid ou Rem Koolhaas -, mais aussi de très nombreux architectes, à découvrir dans cet ouvrage.

Summary:
As building materials and technologies advance, architects are creating new kinds of urban environments. Among the innovations showcased in this book that are contributing to new architectural forms are parametric modeling enabled by computer-aided technology, environmentally friendly building skins, and HOPSCAs - a hybrid building type - that can house hotels, offices, parking, shopping, a convention center, and apartments under one roof. The dream buildings in this book reflect a changing architectural and cultural environment, and the processes that turn these concepts from vision to reality will open a new chapter in architectural history.

Summary:
The exhibition 'Architectures without Place (1968-2008)' presents a series of works that either were never built or no longer exist : a vast field which ranges from theoretical speculations, visionary prefigurings and ideas competitions to modified projects, ephemeral installations and botched buildings. This variegated realm of the unbuilt (or of the now non-existent) allows us to analyse the conceptual heritage of a long period of Catalonian cultural history; in other words, it lets us dissect forty years of architecture produced locally, highlighting the prevailing ideas at each step of the way. This is a heterogeneous field of project design in which converge other disciplines fuelled by a powerful desire to articulate and transform space : comics, theatre, film, ephemeral installations and the visual arts in general.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage présente le travail de plus d’une centaine d’artistes qui tous proposent des créations dans lesquelles le thème de l’architecture, du bâti, joue un rôle central. Sculptures, installations, dessins, peintures, collages et photomontages ne sont que quelques-unes des nombreuses techniques utilisées par ces artistes pour exprimer leur vision de la chose construite, qu’il s’agisse d’une maison, d’une église, d’un immeuble, ou plus largement de la rue ou de la ville. Propositions, critiques, hommages, questionnements abondent dans ces projets qui, en définitive, racontent l’histoire de lieux, réels ou fictifs, utopiques ou tragiques, et révèlent l’importance du rôle de l’architecture dans notre culture visuelle.
