Summary:
Les travaux présentés dans cet ouvrage concernent l'enseignement de la conception contemporaine en architecture. Est appelé conception non formelle l'ensemble des procédures d'improvisation, de bricolage et de détournement qui permettent aujourd'hui aux concepteurs de s'écarter de la planification et de la modélisation, pour atteindre une architecture du moment et de l'occasion. L'une des thèses sous-jacentes de ces textes consiste à assumer l'analogie fondamentale qui lie l'acte d'apprendre et celui de concevoir. Dans cette vision, tout praticien réflexif serait un apprenant permanent et, inversement, toute situation d'apprentissage reposerait sur le développement constant d'une pratique réflexive. Ici, la pensée critique est opératoire et l'observation du monde une action de transformation. Plusieurs expériences sont décrites et tentent de déplacer les lignes de cette séparation fatale qui oppose trop souvent savoir théorique et raison pratique, conception et réalisation, ou encore, recherche et enseignement dans le domaine de la conception architecturale.

Summary:
Since the publication of Edward Said's groundbreaking work Orientalism 35 years ago, numerous studies have explored the West's fraught and enduring fascination with the so-called Orient. Focusing their critical attention on the literary and pictorial arts, these studies have, to date, largely neglected the world of interior design. Oriental Interiors is the first book to fully explore the formation and perception of eastern-inspired interiors from an orientalist perspective. Orientalist spaces in the West have taken numerous forms since the 18th century to the present day, and the fifteen chapters in this collection reflect that diversity, dealing with subjects as varied and engaging as harems, Turkish baths on RMS Titanic, Parisian bachelor quarters, potted palms, and contemporary yoga studios. It explores how furnishings, surface treatments, ornament and music, for example, are deployed to enhance the exoticism and pleasures of oriental spaces, looking across a range of international locations. Organized into three parts, each introduced by the editor, the essays are grouped by theme to highlight critical paths into the intersections between orientalist studies, spatial theory, design studies, visual culture and gender studies, making this essential reading for students and researchers alike.

Summary:
Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal are known for an architecture that privileges inhabitants freedom and pleasure through generous, open designs. The Paris-based architects opened their 2015 lecture at Harvard University with a manifesto: study and create an inventory of the existing situation; densify without compressing individual space; promote user mobility, access, choice; and most importantly, never demolish. Freedom of Use reflects on these core values to present a fluid narrative of Lacaton and Vassal s oeuvre, articulated through processes of accumulation, addition, and extension. The architects describe built and unbuilt work, from a house in Niger made of little more than branches; to the expansive Nantes School of Architecture; to a public square in Bordeaux where, after months of study, their design solution was: do nothing.

Summary:
Très divisée sur la valeur de son œuvre, la critique littéraire semble pourtant unanime sur la faculté de Michel Houellebecq à dire quelque chose de son époque. Ses défenseurs voient en lui « l'un des témoins les plus aigus de notre monde mondialisé » ; quant à ses livres, ils reposent sur « l’intuition que l’univers est basé sur la séparation, la souffrance et le mal ». Comment interpréter la récurrence des thèmes liés à l’espace et au monde dans son œuvre ? À quelles « topologies » les non-lieux de l’architecture et la ville font-ils écho ? Et d'abord : la monadologie « occidentale » de l’espace houellebecquien en fait-elle un espace véritablement partagé par notre imaginaire collectif ? Sommes-nous à ce point « au milieu du monde » avec lui ? Avant-propos de Jean-Louis Violeau. Clémentin Rachet est architecte diplômé de l'École d'Architecture de Paris-Malaquais

Summary:
1812 : John Soane, architecte accompli de la Banque d’Angleterre, est à l’apogée de sa gloire, et s’attache à aménager sa fascinante maison-musée. Un manuscrit, resté longtemps inédit, révèle pourtant l’envers de ce succès. Un véritable roman d’architecture et de mort : dans un futur indéterminé, la maison n’offre déjà plus que ses ruines oubliées et tragiques. Remis en contexte et commenté par Emmanuel Rubio, Histoire de ma maison se révèle une fiction architecturale de premier ordre, à même d’éclairer la crise qui touche son auteur comme la période qu’il incarne. Un document rare, dont les enjeux – fictionnalisation de l’architecture, traversée de la catastrophe, esthétique de l’assemblage – résonnent encore dans l’architecture de notre temps.
