Summary:
Parce qu’il s’est immiscé dans les moindres recoins des sociétés contemporaines, le capitalisme a bouleversé le visage des villes telles que nous les connaissons. La concentration de la population mondiale dans des agglomérations désormais gérées comme des entreprises fait de la construction de l’espace urbain un observatoire privilégié tant des logiques managériales et(...)

Summary:
Parce qu’il s’est immiscé dans les moindres recoins des sociétés contemporaines, le capitalisme a bouleversé le visage des villes telles que nous les connaissons. La concentration de la population mondiale dans des agglomérations désormais gérées comme des entreprises fait de la construction de l’espace urbain un observatoire privilégié tant des logiques managériales et financières que de la production des inégalités sociales et spatiales. De l’adaptation au changement climatique à la Smart City en passant par le zonage logistique et l’économie de plateformes, cette encyclopédie critique propose une cartographie inédite de la ville contemporaine, qui invite concevoir l’espace comme un rapport social et donc comme un lieu de lutte. Présentant de riches enquêtes empiriques menées aux quatre coins du globe, ses entrées exposent de manière thématique les principaux enjeux auxquels sont confrontées des populations marginalisées à la fois d’un point de vue matériel et dans les processus de décisions qui affectent leur vie quotidienne. La démarche suivie, qui associe à ce réquisitoire implacable l’esquisse systématique de voies alternatives, argumente de manière actuelle et accessible en faveur de la défense renouvelée d’un « droit à la ville ».

Summary:
From the grandiose histories of monumental state building projects to the minutiae of street signs and corner cafés, from the rebuilding of capital cities to the provision of the humble public toilet, "Clean living under difficult circumstances" argues for the city as a socialist project. This essay collection spans a period from immediately before the 2008 financial crash to the year of the pandemic. Against the business-as-usual responses to both crises, Owen Hatherley outlines a vision of the city as both a venue for political debate and dispute as well as a space of everyday experience, one that we shape as much as it shapes us. Incorporated here are the genres of memoir, history, music and film criticism, as well as portraits of figures who have inspired new ways of looking at cities, such as the architect Zaha Hadid, the activist and urbanist Jane Jacobs, and thinkers such as Mark Fisher and Adam Curtis. Throughout these pieces, Hatherley argues that the only way out of our difficult circumstances is to imagine and try to construct a better modernity.

Pour permettre à toutes et tous de contribuer, échanger, débattre et imaginer ensemble << l'après >>, le Pavillon de l'Arsenal a ouvert pendant le confinement, à partir du 16 avril 2020, le forum << Et demain, on fait quoi? >>. Pendant trois mois cet espace virtuel de partage, initié dans le cadre du programme << Architectures à la maison >> a permis de collecter et diffuser articles, tribunes, dessins, projets... Rassemblées dans cet ouvrage, les 198 contributions témoignent, dans un contexte particulier, des préoccupations et aspirations de chacune et chacun pour transformer et adapter la ville de ses architectures. L'ensemble forme un corpus de réflexions stimulantes, parfois dissonantes, témoin en cela de nos interrogations urbaines contemporaines. Classées chronologiquement, sans filtre, telles qu'elles sont parvenues, elles révèlent des questionnements déjà existants ou font surgir des problématiques inédites. Les enjeux premiers de solidarité et de défi climatique se conjugent avec les questions de proximité, d'autour de soi, d'espaces et de temps: logement et évolutivité, métropole et gouvernance, bureau et réversibilité, commun et ruralité, grenier et cimetière, carbone et matérialité, vitesse et mobilité, distances aux autres et au monde... Alors que les modes de vies urbains, les conditions de fabrication de la ville, tous comme leurs usage et les façons d'habiter sont pour certains brutalement obsolètes, architectes, artistes, designers, étudiants, ingénieurs, paysagistes, promoteurs, professionnels de l'immobilier, urbanistes et usagers inventent d'autres manières de faire la ville.

Summary:
This book serves as a critical review of Social Urbanism, defined as a socio-political and practical approach to urban globalisation, deriving from a planning strategy and portfolio of built projects that seek to alleviate the social consequences of urbanisation. It emphasises both the political processes and the urbanism projects that simultaneously consider socio-economic and ecological components of space, and which highlight a greater focus on social sustainability. In a context in which geography defines space and culture, and through challenges of a global magnitude, we are inextricably united in an era of environmental uncertainty, where shared experiences and values place us within a collective culture, inspiring mutual agency in service of this vision for Social Urbanism.

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.

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.

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.
