Summary:
This book is about the "public realm," defined as a particular kind of social territory that is found almost exclusively in large settlements. This particular form of social-psychological space comes into being whenever a piece of actual physical space is dominated by relationships between and among persons who are strangers to one another, as often occurs in urban bars, buses, plazas, parks, coffee houses, streets, and so forth. More specifically, the book is about the social life that occurs in such social-psychological space and the forces that threaten it.

Summary:
" Unboxed : engagements in social space " is a collection of critical essays about and by artists who work across the borders of art, architecture and performance. This collection is loosely based upon the lecture series that Gallery 101 and the Carleton University School of Architecture co-hosted throughout the fall and winter of 2002-2003. The goal of that series (entitled "unboxed : dialogues on art & architecture") was, in part, to engage both architecture students and practicing visual artists with this vital yet under-explored arena of interstitial practices. The anthology, which is an attempt to further broaden the audience for this work and thereby increase the number of potential participants, includes transcriptions of lectures by international artists : Vito Acconci, Lucy Orta, Jan-Erik Andersson and Marko Peljhan, as well as commissioned essays by Canadian artists: Ana Rewakowicz, Eduardo Aquino, Marie-Paule Macdonald, Jean-François Prost, Luc Lévesque, Steve Topping, and Adrian Blackwell. Each text adds a mode of thinking about notions of space; directing us to consider the local and social connections between individuals and environments and, in their variety, they mirror the various ways we move in and around communities, rural and urban. Together, forming a challenging, engaging and accessible anthology that enlightens our way of seeing and our sense of being. It provides rare and exceptional information on interdisciplinary practices for students in art and architecture departments everywhere.

Summary:
Between the years 1950 and 1972, when Paris was in the twilight of its classical period, pilot and photographer Roger Henrard preserved the city he knew and loved from the seat of a single-engine American army surplus Piper Cub. Henrard used a high-speed plate camera to systematically document the city from its outskirts to its centre. His photographs show not only Paris's stations, museums, department stores, and housing projects but also its urban fabric and interconnections - the tightly knit medieval districts as well as the rectilinear geometry of the Haussmanian boulevards. "Above Paris" is Henrard's study of the urban landscape of Paris and its best-known monuments. Images, grouped by themes such as the course of the Seine, the main roads, the stations, and the neighborhoods of Paris give a clear overview of the city's layout. Maps at the beginning of each chapter orient the reader.

Cet habitat d'un genre nouveau pose de gros problèmes, tant au plan social qu'à celui des paysages et de l'environnement. Ceux-ci culminent aujpurd'hui en un paradoxe insoutenable : la quête de « nature » (dans les représentations) entraîne la destruction de la nature (en termes de biosphère). Ce livre collectif s'attache à retracer l'histoire des motivations qui ont conduit à ce paradoxe, du mythe arcadien au libéralisme post-fordiste, dans trois « bassins sémantiques » : l'Europe occidentale, l'Asie orientale et l'Amérique du Nord, en éclairant leurs originalités mais aussi leurs multiples confluences.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage a paru pour la première fois en 1978 ; il est devenu un grand classique par son approche originale de la morphologie. Cette nouvelle édition, entièrement refondue, est précédée d'un avant-propos qui remet le texte en situation compte tenu de l'avancée des recherches dans le domaine. Ce livre parle des formes architecturales et de la géométrie, sous un angle quelque peu inhabituel, celui de la "déformation". Même si l'on privilégie les formes réglées et que l'on tente d'éviter le maniérisme et les caprices formels, la composition d'un projet peut conduire à une déformation forcée de formes ou de trames géométriques répondant mieux au faisceau de contraintes qui structure la composition architecturale. La géométrie recèle une fonction organisatrice primordiale dans la gestion des rapports (ou des conflits) spatiaux. Le champ de la morphologie est donc immense, bien que toujours aussi peu défriché, puisque le travail de l'architecte procède toujours par transformations des concepts de départ : on ne peut tenir un modèle ou un type jusqu'au bout d'un projet sans l'altérer, le modeler pour répondre à toutes les exigences. Cette technique d'adaptation, de "conciliation", c'est tout simplement la "composition", car l'architecture ne saurait se réduire à ses intentions.
