Summary:
"The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture" examines a key experiment by The Open University to mobilize new media environments for distance and adult education. Eight episodes written by Joaquim Moreno, conversations with Tim Benton, Nick Levinson, Adrian Forty, Joseph Rykwert, and Stephen Bayley, and contributions by Nick Beech, Laura Carter, Ben Highmore, and Joseph Bedford, offer a close reading of the course A305, History of Architecture ad Design 1890-1939, which was taught through television and radio broadcasts, aired on the BBC between 1975 and 1982. As current models for producing and transmitting knowledge are being brought into question, "The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture" traces a radical attempt at rethinking the mandate of higher education through mass media.

Tags: Libri per Bambini Illustrati Il petrolio, si sa, è una risorsa non rinnovabile. Ma da dove viene? Come si produce? E se dovesse finire? Ciao ciao petrolio è l’ultimo libro illustrato di Harriet Russell e presenta la questione del risparmio energetico e delle fonti rinnovabili al pubblico dei bambini. Dalla raccolta differenziata all’isolamento termico, dal riciclo alla riduzione dell’inquinamento; la Russell ci racconta che non è vero che non si può cambiare il mondo, perché ognuno nel suo piccolo può fare la differenza. Un modo per parlare anche ai più piccoli di sostenibilità e delle problematiche ambientali di oggi, in maniera semplice e ironica, per crescere generazioni più consapevoli che abbiano a cuore il destino di questo pianeta.

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:
The 1960s and 1970s were the heroic age of the architectural "little magazine". During this period even commercial periodicals were willing to include theoretical discourse as they catered to a profession confronted by radical social change. These essays by nine international architectural scholars are from the Proceedings of the International Colloquium held in 2004 at the Canadian Centre for Architecture. They enrich our understanding of a format which monopolized the space for professional debate about what mattered most in architecture at the time. These contributions give architectural periodicals a central place in the historical debates on the period with particular emphasis on material production, intellectual contribution, and critical reception. Six essays in English and three essays in French with a bilingual introduction. Neuf historiens en architecture examinent l’architecture radicale dans la presse parallèle des années 1960 et 1970. Ces périodiques novateurs ont été marqués par les idées expérimentales et les designs avant-gardistes qui ont grandement influencées le discours architectural de la période. Actes du colloque tenu en 2004 au Centre Canadien d'Architecture. Six textes en anglais, trois textes en français avec une introduction bilingue.
