In an accessible but scientifically aware manner, architect and author Klaske Havik (born 1975) argues that literary authors most effectively portray the concept of lived and experienced space, evoking memories and imaginations in their readers. Havik offers new methods for "reading" and "writing" places, from the architectural to the urban, by engaging with three particular techniques of literature: description, transcription and prescription.

Summary:
The book pulls together a collection of utterly unique and singular worlds that together argue for a positioning of architecture: not geographically, but rather set within its rich cultural context shaped by real histories and imagined futures. Ultimately, Little Worlds addresses a question all architects face at the beginning of their bright futures - how to shape an identity.

It takes as its starting point Jules Verne’s novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, with the Nautilus submarine and its captain Nemo – inventor, explorer, oceanologist, gastronome, musician and terrorist. The undersea is examined as a zone created both by exploration and invention, from the earliest attempts to photograph and descend into the depths with deep-sea devices, through the 1960s experiments and actual inhabitation, such as the US Sealab and Cousteau’s Conshelf, to contemporary surveillance of the rapidly changing oceans.

The desire for spaciousness reached its highest pitch where it was most lacking, in the small, single-family houses that came to be the cornerstone of middle class life in the nineteenth century.

Summary:
Sandy Isenstadt examines how architects, interior designers, and landscape designers worked to enhance spatial perception in middle class houses visually. The desire for spaciousness reached its highest pitch where it was most lacking, in the small, single-family houses that came to be the cornerstone of middle class life in the nineteenth century. In direct conflict with actual dimensions, spaciousness was linked to a tension unique to the middle class - between spatial aspirations and financial limitations.

A l'occasion de sa présentation au Pavillon de l'Arsenal à Paris (4.11-8.12.2013), WBA et les éditions de la Cellule architecture ont réédité le catalogue, augmenté d'un nouveau cahier de photographies de l'exposition par Maxime Delvaux, d'une traduction anglaise et d'un sticker photo reproduisant la maquette de l'exposition. « (Un)City - (Un)Real State of the (Un)Known » place la ville comme sujet de réflexion et de discussion; la ville abordée sous l'angle des multiples réalités qui la constituent, la ville perçue en tant qu'héritage autant que projet en devenir, la ville envisagée par la superposition, l'imbrication et la sédimentation de strates singulières. L'exposition réunit 100 projets d'architecture(s), intégralement repris dans la publication. Dans l'idée d'un récit entre imaginaire et réalité, il s'agit d'une collection de bâtiments et situations urbaines emblématiques de Bruxelles, assemblés sous la forme d'une grande maquette de 4m x 4m. Sous la forme d'un territoire imaginaire, elle rassemble des projets passés, présents et prospectifs emblématiques de la capitale belge : le Palais de justice de Bruxelles (1883), le site du Cinquantenaire (1880), la Maison du Peuple de Victor Horta (1899, démolie), le Pavillon du Bonheur Temporaire (2008, démonté), le Théâtre National (2004), le projet de Jonction Nord-Midi de Luc Deleu (1989, non-réalisé) ou encore le siège Glaverbel à la Chaussée de la Hulpe (1967). Par la reconfiguration autrement de tous ces projets sur la maquette et dans le livre, il s'agit d'une part, d'être attentif au vide entre les architectures construites - l'espace entre les volumes agencés - parce qu'il révèle l'existence de rapports inédits entre les éléments ; et d'autre part, d'explorer l'idée que chacun construit son expérience personnelle de la ville - une cartographie sensible, propre et unique, voire une mythologie intime. En bref, (Un)City se profile comme un guide de l'architecture à Bruxelles, alternatif et hors normes.
