Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit, as the means by which "the modern" was to manifest itself.

Summary:
From the seventeenth century until today, the "modern" has served as a key category by which to understand an ever-changing present. Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit, as the means by which "the modern" was to manifest itself. The essays in this new anthology trace the modern project through its multifarious manifestation in order to understand contemporary culture in a deeper sense than discussions of "modernism" and "post modernism" usually offer. Drawing on architectural and urban history as well as philosophy and sociology, the book outlines the complex and conflicting roots of modernity by tracing its manifestations in architecture and the city.

Summary:
En l'espace d'une quarantaine d'années, les conditions de l'urbanisation ont très nettement changé, aussi bien dans les pays développés que dans les pays en développement. Le poids démographique des villes, leur morphologie, leur fonctionnalité, leur poids économique, les problèmes sociétaux qui sont générées au sein de ces systèmes territoriaux particuliers constituent autant de dynamiques qui ont conduit à faire des métropoles des territoires de première importance. Cet ouvrage aborde cette problématique sous un angle davantage politique en se focalisant sur les transformations que connaissent plusieurs métropoles européennes du point de vue de leur modes de gouvernance. A travers la comparaison entre Genève-Lausanne, Lyon, Marseille, Naples, Stuttgart et Zürich, il entend analyser les changements et les facteurs de stabilité qui accompagnent la métropolisation, d'une part dans les relations intergouvernementales, d'autre part dans les relations entre les élus politiques et la société civile et, enfin, dans le type de politique pratique.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage collectif présente une vision interdisciplinaire des problématiques actuelles de l'urbain, à savoir les modalités de démocratie participative, de politique locale et d'aménagement urbain. Les différentes contributions témoignent des discussions engagées entre chercheurs seniors et juniors pendant l'université d'été transfrontalière 2001 à Morges en Suisse. Ce croisement de regards et de connaissances permet de faire émerger de nouvelles pistes de réflexion et d'approches scientifiques relatives aux problématiques de l'urbain. L'ouvrage se structure autour de trois parties. La première partie " Concerter - Faire émerger et confronter les savoirs urbains multiples " oriente le propos sur les concepts et les pratiques qui s'intéressent aux différents types d'acteurs urbains et à leur intégration dans les processus de démocratie locale. La deuxième partie: " Gouverner - Inventer et gérer la réalité métropolitaine incertaine " reprend la discussion sur les changements d'action publique par rapport à la restructuration du système de représentation politique de l'urbain. La troisième partie : " Concevoir - Projeter et aménager les territoires urbains enchevêtrés " prend en compte la transformation et la redéfinition des territoires urbains et met en évidence les influences de ces transformations sur l'aménagement urbain. La conclusion générale présente les nouveaux enjeux par rapport aux manières de concerter, de gouverner et de concevoir les territoires urbains qui ont émergé du débat interdisciplinaire et interculturel.

Summary:
In "Chicago Architecture", Charles Waldheim and Katerina Rüedi Ray revise and offer alternatives to the archetypal story of modern architecture in Chicago. They and an esteemed group of contributors assert that the mythic status of Chicago architecture has distorted our understanding of the historical circumstances in which it was realized. This searching volume illuminates the importance of photographs, books, magazines, and other media in the cultivation of an international audience for Chicago architecture; it explores the pivotal role of real estate developers, finance and insurance sectors, and speculative capital markets in the development of the city itself; and, perhaps most notably, it examines a wide variety of overlooked architectural works and their creators - individuals who did not fit into the dominant modernist narrative.

Summary:
The German pavilion at the 9th Venice Architecture Biennale offers an overview of more than 35 contemporary architectural projects in Germany which have manifested in peripheral urban areas, suburban spaces, and de-industrialized zones. The projects reveal the transformation and reactivation of banal everyday architecture--business parks, switching stations, water purification plants, and strictly coded and conventional housing types--to open up a new perception of the "deutschlandscape." Here, architectural norms are reworked and given a new aesthetic twist through ironic self-reflection. These built projects by a critical young generation of German architects reveal highly innovative use of new materials, generate suburban "plug-ins" (temporary and mobile architecture), and skillfully rework the familiar to create solutions for hitherto underrepresented yet vital areas on the urban fringe. Accompanying essays and interviews reveal the personal narratives behind the architecture. Contributions include: "urban therapist" Sonja Beeck on dealing with the psychological dimensions of shrinking cities in the former GDR; artist and urbanist Kai Vöckler on the German psychoscape; Omar Akbar of the Bauhaus Dessau on the wider implications of urban sprawl; Peter Cook on tuning suburbia; Angelika Fitz on strategic answers to restrictive building regulations; Peter Wilson on the marketing of place; and Rudolf Stegers on multi-layered meanings behind the architectural image.
