Summary:
Architecture is a collaborative art, calling on the efforts of not only architects but also engineers, developers, plumbers, electricians and others. The production process must balance individual empowerment and general management to allow for meaningful dialogue between diverse professionals. This publication explores these interactions through ten interviews with professionals who contribute to architecture in various ways. Conducted by writer and editor Brendan McGetrick, and originally published as a series for the Chinese edition of Domus magazine, these conversations illustrate the many facets of architectural practice. Interview subjects include : Michael Rock (Founder of the graphic design firm 2x4), Lu Zhenggang (Founder of the digital rendering company Crystal CG), Barry Bergdoll (Curator of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, New York), Mark Wigley (Dean of Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation) and Tan Xiaochun (Chief of Construction for China's National Stadium).

The objective of this book - developed by internationally renowned architect Dietmar Eberle at the ETH Zurich is to document the complexity of the design process. With essays from various authors, this second edition explores the complexity of the individual components of design. In corresponding exercise sections a clearly defined and structured methodology for the design process is formulated - a methodology that can be used for teaching as well as in practice.

Summary:
L'urbanisation des territoires de transition entre la ville et la campagne ceux de la suburbia, est oublieuse de l'épaisseur du passé, des transformations complexes des sites, aussi bien que des représentations que l'on s'en fait. La notion de sub-urbanisme, définie par l'auteur comme une " subversion de l'urbanisme ", remet profondément en question un telle attitude. Cet essai plaide pour une démarche qui appréhenderait le site comme la matrice d'un projet explorant les multiples strates spatio-temporelles du territoire : l'architecture comme instrument de la mémoire et la mémoire comme matière de l'architecture. Quatre sources alimentent la démarche : les travaux de Frances Yates sur L'Art de la mémoire, consacrés aux pratiques mnémotechniques des anciens ; la "métaphore romaine" proposée par Sigmund Freud pour évoquer le mode de conservation du passé dans la structuration de la psyché ; la démarche de l'artiste américain Robert Smithson avec son concept de non-site ; et enfin le parc de Lancy réalisé dans la banlieue de Genève par l'architecte Georges Descombes. A l'instar du sub-urbanisme qu'elle entreprend d'illustrer, cette démon tration s'aventure dans l'épaisseur narrative des lieux, et invite le lecteur-visiteur à frayer son chemin à travers de nombreuses couches de mémoire et de culture. Le mot d'ordre est extrapolation.
