Summary:
Pairing particular works of art with specific innovations in real estate development, The Speculative City reveals the connections between real estate and contemporary art as they constructed Los Angeles’s present-day cityscape. From banal parking lots to Frank Gehry’s designs for artists’ studios and museums, Newbury examines pivotal interventions by artists and architects, city officials and cultural philanthropists, concluding with an examination of how, in the wake of the 2008 global credit crisis, contemporary art emerged as a financial asset to fuel private wealth and urban gentrification. Both a history of the transformation of the Southland and a forensic examination of works of art, 'The Speculative City' is a rich complement to the California chronicles by such writers as Rebecca Solnit and Mike Davis.

On observe actuellement une forte demande en matière de dispositifs transitoires : architectes, artistes, designers sont sollicités pour proposer des solutions d'hébergement temporaires, considérées comme autant d'expédients en réponse à des situations d'urgence. Mais, au-delà de cette conception du transitoire, un certain nombre d'acteurs venant de l'architecture, de l'urbanisme et du design considèrent le transitoire comme une valeur à défendre, un nouvel horizon d'action concernant tous les aspects de la vie urbaine dans sa complexité économique et écologique : non seulement les initiatives pour résoudre le mal-logement, mais aussi le rôle à donner aux fablabs et aux actions en faveur d'une agriculture urbaine, trop souvent cantonnés à des pratiques de loisir.

In 'Atmospheric Noise', Marina Peterson traces entanglements of environmental noise, atmosphere, sense, and matter that cohere in and through encounters with airport noise since the 1960s. Exploring spaces shaped by noise around Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), she shows how noise is a way of attuning toward the atmospheric: through noise we learn to listen to the sky and imagine the permeability of bodies and matter, sensing and conceiving that which is diffuse, indefinite, vague, and unformed. Offering a conceptualization of sound as immanent and non-objectified, she demonstrates ways in which noise is central to how we know, feel, and think atmospherically.

Architectes et urbanistes ont embrassé cette vision de la ville qui mène à des espaces pollués, peu sécuritaires, et dont les infrastructures pèsent lourd sur le trésor public. Devant l'urgence climatique, Olivier Ducharme veut renverser ce modèle pour redonner au piéton la place qui lui revient. Il livre une charge pour sortir de nos villes ces « requins d'acier », qu'ils soient électriques ou à essence, et remettre la vie de quartier et le transport collectif au centre de l'aménagement urbain. Pour se libérer des embouteillages et amorcer la transition écologique, nous devons avoir le courage politique de bannir l'auto solo de nos villes. L'automobile est un piège, il est temps de s'en libérer.

The last decade has seen an accelerated evolution of typologies. Today’s cities are marked by a growing digital presence and the emergence of a global sharing economy; shared spaces have increased our social and sustainable focus, drastically altered our understanding of ownership and responsibility, and redefined our experience of public and private domains.

Summary:
The last decade has seen an accelerated evolution of typologies. Today’s cities are marked by a growing digital presence and the emergence of a global sharing economy; shared spaces have increased our social and sustainable focus, drastically altered our understanding of ownership and responsibility, and redefined our experience of public and private domains. Such changes have in turn rewritten the demands on architecture, the role of the designer, and the power of the profession. In 'Another Kind', PLP Architecture presents ten projects as case studies to examine the emergence of a new typological fluidity. These projects serve as anchors to survey the cultural landscape of the past ten years. Projects can no longer be traditionally codified and instead present themselves as assemblages of exterior influences, new cultural interests, and 21st century social habits. In 'Another Kind', projects are intertwined with essays by cultural observers both within and outside of the discipline. Through this multi-layered infrastructure and pluralistic dissection, Another Kind cracks the surface and explores the contents of architecture today. Marking this moment in time, PLP examines how we have evolved and speculates on what we can learn for the years that lie ahead.

Summary:
After demolishing the myth of the rock star architect with his book "Against architecture," Franco La Cecla now explores the decisive challenges that cities are going to have to confront in the near future. Urban planning and development has become increasingly inadequate in response to the daily realities of life in our cities. Human, economic, ethnic, and environmental factors are systematically overlooked in city planning and housing development, and anachronistic, sterile, and formalistic architecture almost invariably prevails. Never more than today has democracy played itself out in public spaces, sidewalks, and streets. Urban planners and developers, however, are still prisoners of an obsolete vision of passivity which betrays actual city needs and demands. A new urban science is required which can, first of all, guarantee a civil, dignified life for all—urban development which ensures the right to a humane mode of daily living, which has been and still is completely ignored.
