Questioning the traditional boundaries between cities, suburbs, countryside and wilderness, this issue of AD explores emergent types of public space in low-density environments. It describes this new form of urbanism: decentralised, in a constant process of expansion and contraction, not homogenous or necessarily low-rise, nor guided by one mode of development, typology(...)

Summary:
Questioning the traditional boundaries between cities, suburbs, countryside and wilderness, this issue of AD explores emergent types of public space in low-density environments. It describes this new form of urbanism: decentralised, in a constant process of expansion and contraction, not homogenous or necessarily low-rise, nor guided by one mode of development, typology or pattern. While functionally and programmatically dispersed, settlements operate as a form of urbanism; the place of collective spaces within them has yet to be defined and articulated. The physical transformation of the built environment on the one hand, and the change in our notion of the public on the other - due to globalisation, privatisation and segregation - call for renewed interpretations of the nature and character of public space. The concept of public space needs to be examined: replaced, re-created or adapted to fit these conditions. What is the place of the public in this form of urbanism, and how can architecture address the notion of common, collective spaces? What is the current sociopolitical role o such spaces? How does the form and use of these spaces reflect the conception of the public as a political (or non-political) body? And can architecture regain an active role in formulating the notion of the collective? These and other issues are addressed through essays, research projects and built work by distinguished writers such as Bruce Robbins, Albert Pope and Alex Wall, and Practitioners including Zvi Hecker, Vito Acconci, MUTOPIA, Manuel de Sola-Morales, Martha Rosler and Manuel Vicente in a search for new collective architectures within the dispersed city.

Summary:
Ce livre traite de politique et d'architecture - de leurs interactions, de leurs intersections. Une occupation civile. La politique de l'architecture israélienne est la somme de travaux d'architectes, d'universitaires et d'auteurs israéliens, qui permet d'examiner le rôle de l'architecture israélienne dans le conflit du Moyen-Orient. À travers des essais, des cartes et des photographies, Une occupation civile démontre comment l'architecture et l'urbanisme sont, en un siècle, passés du statut d'activités professionnelles banales à celui d'instruments tactiques et d'armes stratégiques. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, le projet déclaré du sionisme consistait à bâtir un foyer national pour le peuple juif sur la terre d'Israël. Depuis l'offensive d'implantation des années trente, fondée sur les villages de type Homa Oumigdal (mur et tour) en passant par la planification totale de l'État d'Israël peu après son indépendance, jusqu'à la colonisation des territoires occupés de 1967 à ce jour - l'architecture israélienne a été l'instrument concret de la réalisation du projet sioniste, exactement à l'image de son objectif utopique. La controverse politique et professionnelle qui a suivi l'interdiction de la première édition de cet ouvrage par son éditeur originel, l'Association israélienne des architectes unis, est la preuve flagrante que l'architecture n'est absolument pas une activité innocente. Puisque Israël peut être considéré comme l'un des laboratoires les plus radicaux de notre époque, les questions que pose ce livre doivent être étudiées dans un contexte bien plus large: la politique de l'architecture israélienne n'est finalement pas différente de la politique de toute architecture.
