Summary:
Puisant ses approches auprès de la sociohistoire, de la bibliographie, de l’histoire des livres et de la lecture, cet ouvrage collectif vise à comprendre les usages du livre par les architectes et leurs raisons d’écrire. Cette investigation à la fois méthodologique et épistémologique, combinant l’étude des formes discursives et matérielles avec l’histoire des acteurs et de leurs réseaux, veut rompre avec une histoire des idées conventionnelle qui fait trop abstraction des conditions de production tout comme avec une approche trop déterministe qui soumet le texte au contexte.

Summary:
From participatory architecture to interaction design, the question of how design accommodates use is driving inquiry in many creative fields. Expanding utility to embrace people’s everyday experience brings new promises for the social role of design. But this is nothing new.

Summary:
From participatory architecture to interaction design, the question of how design accommodates use is driving inquiry in many creative fields. Expanding utility to embrace people’s everyday experience brings new promises for the social role of design. But this is nothing new. As the essays assembled in this publication show, interest in the elusive realm of the user was an essential part of architecture and design throughout the twentieth century. It argues that the user is not a universal but a historically constructed category of twentieth-century modernity that continues to inform architectural practice and thinking in often unacknowledged ways.

Summary:
Written in 1973 but only recently discovered in a private archive, this work extends Lefebvre’s influential theory of urban space to the question of architecture. Taking the practices and perspective of habitation as his starting place, Lefebvre redefines architecture as a mode of imagination rather than a specialized process or a collection of monuments. He calls for an architecture of jouissance—of pleasure or enjoyment—centered on the body and its rhythms and based on the possibilities of the senses.

The Death of Drawing explores the causes and effects of the epochal shift from drawing to computation as the chief design and communication medium in architecture.

Summary:
The Death of Drawing explores the causes and effects of the epochal shift from drawing to computation as the chief design and communication medium in architecture. Drawing both framed the thinking of architects and organized the design and construction process to place architects at its center. Its displacement by building information modeling (BIM) and computational design recasts both the terms in which architects think and their role in building production. Author David Ross Scheer explains that, whereas drawing allowed architects to represent ideas in form, BIM and computational design simulate experience, making building behavior or performance the primary object of design.
