Summary:
L'inconfort est communément défini comme absence de confort. Mais cette opposition dépasse de loin la grammaire, et d'abord quant à l'origine des concepts lequel des deux a précédé l'autre dans notre esprit et convient-il de considérer en premier ? Qu'il naisse ou non du sentiment de son absence, le confort est ainsi un phénomène historique, et n'existe qu'en tant que(...)

Il ne saurait se concevoir dans l'absolu, étant seulement la conscience d'un bien-être qui n'a cessé lui-même de varier avec les époques et les civilisations.

The Victorian age is much closer to us in time than we might believe. Yet at that time, in the most technologically advanced nation in the world, people buried meat in fresh earth to prevent mould forming and wrung sheets out in boiling water with their bare hands.

Summary:
The Victorian age is much closer to us in time than we might believe. Yet at that time, in the most technologically advanced nation in the world, people buried meat in fresh earth to prevent mould forming and wrung sheets out in boiling water with their bare hands. Such household drudgery was routinely performed by the grandparents of people still living, but the knowledge of it has passed as if it had never been. Judith Flanders's book is laid out like a Victorian house, taking you through the story of daily life from room to room. In each space she depicts the home's furnishings and decoration: from childbirth in the master bedroom, through the scullery and kitchen, the separate male and female domains of the drawing room and the parlour, and ending in the sickroom. A rich selection from diaries, letters, advice books, magazines, and paintings fills the rooms with the people and personalities of the age.

Puis, il rassemble les éléments épars d’une enquête philosophico-étymologique : comment, quand, par qui et pour quels résultats, l’habiter arrive-t-il en France ? Et bénéficie d’un accueil favorable parmi les architectes et les spécialistes du logement et de la ville ? Il s’interroge, enfin, sur la dénaturation « tranquille » d’un concept philosophique, ses usages hybrides qui l’apparentent aussi bien à la « machine-à-habiter » de Le Corbusier qu’aux « modes d’habiter » décrits par les anthropologues. Cet essai au ton personnel, emprunte à l’autobiographie, au récit de voyage, à la spéculation théorique et à la géohistoire comparée des idées afin de réaffirmer la puissance du concept heideggérien et de le confronter à la vie urbaine contemporaine.

Ce premier volume issu des Grands Ateliers se veut également l'acte inaugural d'une production durable relative aux questionnements engendrés par la rencontre, encore peu sensible il y a dix ans, entre l'art de contruire - qui appartient à un secteur de production encore traditionnel - et les nouvelles technologies de conception et de communication.

Etre situationniste consiste à lutter sans trêve contre l'aliénation sous toutes ses formes - une lutte révolutionnaire qui a connu son heure de gloire en mai 1968.

Summary:
Western society is being terrorized by fear. Whether concerning national security, road safety or the protection of public health, every form of risk is meant to be spread, accounted for or eradicated. The safety and security obsession is leaving behind ever more visible traces, especially in public space. Speed bumps, smoke-free zones and surveillance cameras serve a society where prevention is the order of the day. This second book in the Group portraits series -a collaboration between the Netherlands architecture fund and the Netherlands foundation for visual arts, design and architecture (Fonds BKVB) - once again brings together four groups of young designers around a highly topical theme. As a sequel to the successful "City branding" book, this publication explores the various aspects of fear and prevention and considers the impact on contemporary urban space in four chapters. All the stops are pulled out: text, photography, research and design alternate in a thought-provoking sequence. This publication is the result of intensive research into the presence of fear in our Western society and the role that architecture might play herein. It is therefore an instrument for students, researchers, architects and policy-makers who are concerned with security issues.

Summary:
"The World: Who Wants It?" proposes a concrete plan, albeit satirical, for re-establishing world peace. Set in the near present, the $100 billion that has been pledged by the United States to address the world's wrongs is used to advocate consumptive restraint and to seek new American Values, thus lessening the fury of the Third World against America's apparent wastage, misuse of resources, vice, and militaristic bombast. In this vision of a new world order, International policy largely focuses on the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem so as to accommodate all the hope and aspirations of the three Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The starting point for Ben Nicholson's restructuring of the world is that what was remarkable about the World Trade Center is that its given name purported to suggest that the building was the center of world trade. When the towers were removed they took along with them a myriad of links and responsibilities that course throughout the globe, touching every aspect of life. It is ultimately immaterial what the shape and size of the rebuilt World Trade Center will be, unless the whole world is simultaneously rethought and restructured along with the reconstruction. What would the new world order be?
