Summary:
C’est avec la publication de « L’Utopie » de Thomas More en 1516 que le mot se répand et que naît un genre littéraire associant critique sociale et description d’une « société heureuse ». L’utopie n’est pas une anticipation, mais un présent qui mise sur le bonheur, l’équité, l’abondance et le respect de chacun. Thierry Paquot explore diverses utopies écrites ou(...)

C’est avec la publication de « L’Utopie » de Thomas More en 1516 que le mot se répand et que naît un genre littéraire associant critique sociale et description d’une « société heureuse ». L’utopie n’est pas une anticipation, mais un présent qui mise sur le bonheur, l’équité, l’abondance et le respect de chacun. Thierry Paquot explore diverses utopies écrites ou expérimentées qui se sont succédées depuis le XVIe siècle, en privilégiant certains thèmes : le travail et les loisirs, l’éducation, la famille et les relations amoureuses, la ville et l’architecture. L’utopie s’enrichit au XIXe siècle de l’uchronie, puis de la science-fiction, pour proposer de nouvelles alternatives à la « société de consommation ». L’utopie contient le pire et le meilleur, elle se révèle parfois autoritaire, totalitaire, culpabilisatrice, triste et uniformisante, tout comme elle peut favoriser le déploiement des désirs, démultiplier les plaisirs, répondre joyeusement aux attentes de ses membres.

Summary:
Dans cet essai concis, historique et philosophique, Bruce Bégout passe en revue le rapport complexe des situationnistes à la question urbaine. Les relations des situationnistes et de la ville forment, selon la belle image qu'emploie Debord, une sorte de "Pompéi inversée", les "reliefs d'une cité qui n'a pas été édifiée". Comme un archéologue peu soucieux de son temps, qui(...)

Summary:
A partir de l'exemple d'une commune de l'est de l'Ile-de-France, l'auteur étudie la façon dont la transformation de la région impacte les habitants et les politiques de la ville. Il s'intéresse notamment à l'explosion du nombre de constructions, à la politique urbaine, à la hausse du prix de l'immobilier ou encore aux retombées économiques réelles de ces mutations.

Summary:
This publication is the result of a year-long dialogue between British architect David Chipperfield (born 1953) and Swiss architect Simon Kretz (born 1982). The two began working together through the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, in which Chipperfield mentored the younger architect for a year. This publication focuses on a single aspect of their conversations—the problems and possibilities of planning. "On Planning" aims to intervene in the future of urban development, offering a manifesto for a relational, collective and diverse future for our cities. Using the Bishopsgate goods yard site in East London as a case study, Chipperfield and Kretz explore the conditions under which an ideal urban development project could flourish. The conclusions reached through this exercise demonstrate how future large-scale developments elsewhere could have more positive urban impact, both at the scale of the neighborhood and the wider metropolis.

Ce projet éditorial vise à établir une cartographie problématisée des savoir-faire inventifs, expérimentations heureuses ou malheureuses des “collectifs” français. Les nouveaux enjeux écologiques, possibilités technologiques et données économiques posent questions, et poussent architectes, urbanistes et paysagistes à se tourner vers d’autres voies, méthodologies et finalités alternatives. Comment penser le devenir des territoires dans l’optique d’intégrer l’imprévu, le spontané, l’autonomie habitante? Sur quelles bases et énergies s’appuyer pour concevoir des dynamiques urbaines et rurales plus cohérentes et soutenables ? Notre hypothèse est celle de la collaboration. C’est à un travail de cartographie et d’interrogation de ces nouvelles capacités collaboratives que tente de se livrer ce projet : une éloge de la collaboration, mais aussi une tentative d’en cerner les potentialités latentes, limites, dangers et dérives.

Summary:

From playgrounds to theme parks, skittle alleys to swimming pools, to the countless uncontrolled spaces which the urban habitat affords play is by no means just a childhood affair. A myriad essentially unproductive playful pursuits have, through time, modelled the modern city and landscape. Architect and scholar Rodrigo Pérez de Arces erudite, original, and often surprising study explores a curiously neglected dimension of architectural design and practice: ludic space. It is an architectural history of the playground from the hippodrome to the Situationist city of space released from productive ends in the pursuit of leisure. The ludic imagination impregnated modernist ideals, and what begins with the playground ends with a re-consideration of the whole sweep of the modern movement through the filter of leisure and play.

Summary:
Under the unforgiving sun of southern California's Colorado Desert lies Slab City, a community of squatters, artists, snowbirds, migrants, survivalists, and homeless people. Called by some “the last free place” and by others “an enclave of anarchy,” Slab City is also the end of the road for many. Without official electricity, running water, sewers, or trash pickup, Slab City dwellers also live without law enforcement, taxation, or administration. Built on the concrete slabs of Camp Dunlap, an abandoned Marine training base, the settlement maintains its off-grid aspirations within the site's residual military perimeters and gridded street layout; off-grid is really in-grid. In this book, architect Charlie Hailey and photographer Donovan Wylie explore the contradictions of Slab City.

He investigates not the invention of artifacts but inventive processes. Today form is becoming ever more divorced from function; information networks now shape the traditional functions of cities as places of exchange and innovation. By the end of this century, most of the world's population will live in cities, large or small, sometimes contiguous, and always connected; in an urbanized world, it will be increasingly difficult to define a city by its physical boundaries.
