GUNITE OVER? Plasticité du béton, titre du premier numéro, reprend la conférence de l’architecture suisse Christian Dupraz présentée à Genève le 8 septembre 2012, lors des journées européennes du patrimoine consacrées à la pierre et au béton. Associée à la réalisation de surfaces concaves et convexes, la gunite est le mélange de béton et de sable permettant la projection de la matière et sa solidification dans des formes complexes. L’application de cette technique est historiquement liée au développement des coques et à la recherche exigeante d’ingénieurs (Eduardo Torroja, Heinz Isler, Ulrich Müther,…) mais également au formidable questionnement des architectes pour une valorisation de la forme libre (Pascal Haüsermann, Vittorio Giorgini, Jacques Couëlle…). Ce parallélisme entre la démarche maîtrisée des uns et la quête aléatoire des autres nous renseigne sur la grande vitalité de notre histoire.

Summary:
What might Gianbattista Piranesi (1720-1778) contribute to today’s architectural debate? Could his vision of a pensile city inspire the city of tomorrow? Archescape is a new concept based on a reading of Piranesi’s Campo Marzio, his sublime reconstruction of ancient Rome.

What might Gianbattista Piranesi (1720-1778) contribute to today’s architectural debate? Could his vision of a pensile city inspire the city of tomorrow? Archescape is a new concept based on a reading of Piranesi’s Campo Marzio, his sublime reconstruction of ancient Rome. Archescape, a fusion of the words architecture and escape into a new ‘scape’, addresses two issues: the city flight that tends towards the destruction of what it looks for, and the sprawling urban footprint that is unsustainable and blocks escape. It also conceives a way out: the creation of flight lines inside a dense city.

In the course of unpacking some of her own stories—of her mother and her decline from memory loss, of a trip to Iceland, of an illness—Solnit revisits fairytales and entertains other stories: about arctic explorers, Che Guevara among the leper colonies, and Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein, about warmth and coldness, pain and kindness, decay and transformation, making art and making self. Woven together, these stories create a map which charts the boundaries and territories of storytelling, reframing who each of us is and how we might tell our story.

Josep Lluís Sert (1902–1983) was the last president of CIAM (International Congresses of Modern Architecture) and dean of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design from 1953 to 1969, where he founded the discipline of urban design. His writings offer a new view of his activities in architecture and urban planning, and provide the intellectual context for his own work as an architect, much of which is still controversial and often poorly understood. This book includes 16 essays dating from 1951 to 1977, ten of which are previously unpublished. The Writings of Josep Lluís Sert illuminates Sert’s contributions to 20th-century architecture, urban design, and design pedagogy, and makes clear the similarities and differences between his ideas and those of his mentor, Le Corbusier.
