Summary:
De 1973 à 1978, le groupe d’architectes, artistes et designers Ant Farm, composé d’une dizaine de membres, a travaillé à la conception d’une plateforme marine destinée à communiquer avec les dauphins. Il ne s’agissait pas seulement de les observer mais bien de parler et d’échanger des informations avec les cétacés. Cette structure flottante, la Dolphin Embassy, concentre(...)

Il ne s’agissait pas seulement de les observer mais bien de parler et d’échanger des informations avec les cétacés. Cette structure flottante, la Dolphin Embassy, concentre bon nombre des réflexions qui ont animées les mouvements radicaux et contre-culturels de l’époque : l’ouverture à la nature et aux espèces non humaines, la constitution de communautés élargies, la recherche de nouveaux espaces perceptifs et communicationnels. Ce texte s’appuie notamment sur les documents présents dans les archives d’Ant Farm, rassemblées dans le sous-sol du Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Parmi la centaine de documents relatifs à ce projet, sont notamment conservés quelques dessins préparatoires, des « rushes » de film, des diapositives, de la littérature scientifique sur les dauphins et de la correspondance échangée entre les membres du groupe. De leur consultation est né ce récit ; un récit qui dérive à mesure que les pages défilent.

Summary:
"Ideas, faces and places" is a record of an exhibition and symposium that took place in Dublin at The Irish Architectural Archive in the autumn of 2022, "Sweet Disorder and the Carefully Careless: Ideas, Faces and Places", which transferred to RIBA headquarters in London in the Spring of 2023. The book is a repository for some of the observations that arose at these events made by architects and critics including John Tuomey, Ed Jones, Irina Davidovici, Kenneth Frampton and others. The exhibition juxtaposed Celia Scott’s busts of the architects James Stirling, Leon Krier, Alan Colquhoun, Ed Jones and others, with a pictorial biography of her husband, the eminent architect and academic Robert Maxwell (1922-2020). The view that this book offers of the exhibition and of the work of Scott and Maxwell is provisional and partial, offering the reader the chance to meander and to relish unexpected juxtapositions and oblique views of its subjects - almost exactly like the rooms that Celia Scott created in Dublin and in London. Robert Maxwell was one of the most important architectural theorists and teachers of the second half of the 20th century - this book is an essential addition to his oeuvre.

Summary:
Manuscrit retrouvé récemment dans la bibliothèque personnelle de la résidence secondaire d'Henri Lefebvre, « Vers une architecture de la jouissance » paraît pour la première fois en français. Manuscrit retrouvé récemment dans la bibliothèque personnelle de la résidence secondaire d'Henri Lefebvre à Saragosse, Vers une architecture de la jouissance interroge les différentes formes de jouissance que l'architecture contemporaine revêt. Terme difficilement traduisible, la jouissance dont parle Henri Lefebvre dans ce texte oscille entre le plaisir, la sensualité, la volupté, le délice, le bien-être. Elle devient ici la redécouverte d'un corps architectural à la mesure de la sensualité du corps de l'homme. Mais elle est surtout le rejet de l'ascétisme au sens où Nietzsche en parle dans le Zarathoustra quand il en fait l'expédient du prêtre qui assèche la vie en refusant toute légèreté. L'ouvrage réinterroge ainsi le principe d'habitation sur lequel Henri Lefebvre à travaillé tout au long de sa carrière. Professeur de sociologie à l'Université de Nanterre de 1965 à 1973, il a marqué toute une génération de sociologues, d'architectes et d'urbanistes. « Le Droit à la ville » de 1968 et « La Production de l'espace » de 1974 sont les piliers de son questionnement sur l'habitabilité de notre espace à vivre.

Summary:
Environments associated with migration are often seen as provisional, lacking history or architecture. As Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi demonstrates in "Architecture of migration," a refugee camp's aesthetic and material landscapes-even if born out of emergency-reveal histories, futures, politics, and rhetorics. She identifies forces of colonial and humanitarian settlement, tracing spatial and racial politics in the Dadaab refugee camps established in 1991 on the Kenya-Somalia border-at once a dense setting that manifests decades of architectural, planning, and design initiatives and a much older constructed environment that reflects its own ways of knowing. She moves beyond ahistorical representations of camps and their inhabitants by constructing a material and visual archive of Dadaab, finding long migratory traditions in the architecture, spatial practices, landscapes, and iconography of refugees and humanitarians. Countering conceptualizations of refugee camps as sites of border transgression, criminality, and placelessness, Siddiqi instead theorizes them as complex settlements, ecologies, and material archives created through histories of partitions, sedentarizations, domesticities, and migrations.

Summary:
"The Earth that modernism built" traces the rise of planetary design to an imperialist discourse about the influence of the earthly environment on humanity. Kenny Cupers argues that to understand how the earth became an object of design, we need to radically shift the terms of analysis. Rather than describing how new design ideas and practices traveled and transformed people and places across the globe, this book interrogates the politics of life and earth underpinning this process. It demonstrates how approaches to modern housing, landscape design, and infrastructure planning are indebted to an understanding of planetary and human ecology fueled by settler colonialism and imperial ambition.

Summary:
''Architecture and Social Change'' is a timely, and urgently needed, survey of social and environmental justice advocacy in architecture. Spotlighting contemporary design and research practitioners who are creatively leveraging their expertise for social change, this book features interviews with fifteen influential design leaders who are at the forefront of their profession’s efforts to confront pressing challenges like housing insecurity, racial and economic inequality, environmental degradation, and architectural waste. Among the interviewees are Dana Cuff, who, as director of cityLAB, is helping to reshape housing policy in California; Joana Dabaj, cofounder of the design charity CatalyticAction, which empowers refugee children from the Syrian civil war to act as “co-designers” of playgrounds and public spaces in Lebanon; and Ivi Diamantopoulou and Jaffer Kolb of New York City–based New Affiliates, who repurpose, through lively recontextualization, the architectural byproducts of their city’s museum exhibitions and building-performance mockups. These insightful student-led interviews compellingly capture the current moment of soul-searching in both the profession and the academy.

Summary:
Part-to-part relationships and the approach to governing their sensibilities is at the root of all architecture. The need for engaging in a dialogue around these systems is essential to contemporary architectural discourse and practice. ''Assembly'' builds on and extends the investigations of materials and representation techniques in the editors’ previous books, ''Matter and Lineament''. This book uses a collection of detailed case studies, explained by first-person authors, about experimental and innovative takes on assembling architecture. Bridging theory and practice, 17 projects and their principled approaches each demonstrate an important vein of inquiry within the topic. Essays probe issues such as latent and overt geometry, fabrication and technology, part-to-part elements, joinery and representation, material vernacular geometries, labor and place-based contextual assemblies, detailing, and pedagogical examinations. This text articulates the traditions and trends of material as the defining premise in the contemporary making of architecture. Its outcomes are applicable to beginning students of architecture and advanced practitioners alike.
