The pieces here—from The New Republic, Artforum, and The New York Times—reveal how Muschamp’s views were both ahead of their time and timeless. He often wrote about how the right architecture could be inspiring and uplifting, and he uniquely drew on film, literature, and popular culture to write pieces that were passionate and often personal, changing the landscape of architectural criticism in the process.

Comme le langage, la ville se transforme sans cesse et surprend toujours.Est-ce si grave ? Pas pour le promeneur qui, en chaque lieu ou presque, comme le libertin de Kundera, est mu par « le désir de s’emparer de l’infi nie diversité du monde ». Surtout s’il ne projette pas sur les villes un idéal subjectif. Bien sûr, personne ne vit dans un état permanent de bien-être absolu. Mais chacun peut apprécier les moments où il est en paix avec la ville telle qu’elle est, malgré ce qu’elle est.

Les infrastructures inscrivent sur le territoire des imaginaires réalisés de la ville, de la mobilité et des transports, un système de communication symbolique aussi puissant que les infrastructures matérielles. Cette dimension peu souvent approchée des infrastructures est investie par cet ouvrage. La culture mythologique, fictionnelle ou fantasmatique des infrastructures s'explore dans l'analyse des productions filmiques et discursives, et dans les pratiques et expériences de la route que développe et exporte "en masse" la culture américaine d'après-guerre. La puissance de l'imaginaire infrastructurel se révèle dans ce qui lie l'infrastructure aux récits du futur, futurs des villes ou de l'architecture. Il n'y a alors pas de futur sans infrastructure. Approchées dans toutes les échelles de ses perceptions, passant de l'oeil à fouie avec les infrastructures sonores, du monument unique au réseau mondial des flagship, du symbole du progrès à un outil de communication de la société post-industrielle, de la présence dure et durable à la flexibilité, au détournement ou à l'adaptation, les infrastructures dessinent le paysage multicouche de notre environnement bâti, sensoriel et spectaculaire.

Thirty years after its publication, The Death and Life of Great American Cities was described by The New York Times as "perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning....[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments." Jane Jacobs, an editor and writer on architecture in New York City in the early sixties, argued that urban diversity and vitality were being destroyed by powerful architects and city planners. Rigorous, sane, and delightfully epigrammatic, Jacobs's small masterpiece is a blueprint for the humanistic management of cities.
