Summary:
Ce livre traite de la question des identités nationales entre 1860 et 1919. Cette époque, riche et contrastée pour l'histoire de l'Europe, est en même temps prémonitoire de la situation du continent aujourd'hui, ainsi que des espoirs, des angoisses et des incertitudes qui en résultent. C'est en effet le temps où chaque peuple rassemblant en son sein les moyens irrésistibles de développer et de nourrir une passion pour l'histoire nationale, l'essor éclatant des identités constitue les antagonismes qui débouchent sur la Première guerre mondiale. Ceux-ci préfigurent la désintégration de la carte européenne postérieure au traité de Versailles. Cette passion, qui touche tous les champs de l'histoire sociale, s'appuie sur les accomplissements nationaux déjà acquis auparavant, lors du premier XIXe siècle (1815-1860). Mais, contrairement à ces prémices cultuelles, marquées par l'essor des langues et des littératures le " second " XIXe siècle se caractérise par la floraison des architectures nationales, plus ou moins liées aux recherches de l'Art nouveau occidental et à la diffusion des Arts and Crafts britanniques. Il voit aussi, dans l'ordre politique, la montée des impérialismes, l'achèvement de l'unification italienne et allemande et le succès obtenu par plusieurs nations dans leur quête d'indépendance. Premier d'une série consacrée à la carte très disparate des identités européennes, cet ouvrage étudie quatre jeunes nations qui, en 1860, ne constituent pas des Etats, mais qui déploient toute leur créativité spirituelle, politique, diplomatique et artistique pour affirmer leur avenir. La Hongrie fait alors partie de l'Empire austro-hongrois, tandis que le Grand-Duché de Finlande appartient à la Russie. La Moldavie et la Valachie, dont naîtra plus tard la Roumanie, sont des principautés tributaires des Empires russe et ottoman. Intégrée au Royaume d'Espagne, la Catalogne se souvient, quant à elle, avoir été une grande nation prospère au Moyen Âge. Tout se passe comme si les nations d'Europe avaient convoqué leur riche passé - historique, mythologique ou imaginaire - pour mieux bâtir leur destin au cœur du continent. L'architecture et les projets urbains sont les lieux d'application privilégiés de ces quêtes. S'ils font office d'étendards, c'est parce que ces deux " arts " s'imposent au plus grand nombre et qu'ils modèlent les repères allégoriques et politiques des peuples. En somme, le paysage d'hier est l'emblème de l'Europe d'aujourd'hui.

Through letters, documents, drawings, and family photographs, Alvar and Aino’s grandson tells the stories of their life together, in Finland and abroad, drawing on many of the never-before-published letters they sent to each other and to family, friends, and colleagues, until Aino’s death in 1949. The first monograph to specifically examine and celebrate the life and work of Aino and Alvar as a shared endeavour, this personal and intimate look at the unconventional lives of one of the most influential design couples of the twentieth century has been warmly and accessibly written by Aino and Alvar’s grandson, who has drawn on the family’s largely unpublished archive, including personal letters, snapshots, and sketches.

From Great Britain, Belgium, Finland, and Italy to Russia, Kazakhstan, and China, cities are shrinking everywhere. While urban-planning debates of recent years have mainly focused on the growth of the megalopolis, in other places zones of shrinkage were actually developing.

Summary:
From Great Britain, Belgium, Finland, and Italy to Russia, Kazakhstan, and China, cities are shrinking everywhere. While urban-planning debates of recent years have mainly focused on the growth of the megalopolis, in other places zones of shrinkage were actually developing. Enormous population losses and high unemployment contribute to this process, which is further accelerated by globalization and the transition to post-Socialism. This book examines the causes and dynamics of the shrinking process for the first time on an international level. Citing concrete examples from Manchester and Liverpool in Great Britain, Detroit in the United States, Ivanovo in Russia, and Halle and Leipzig in Germany, it compares living conditions and cultural change in shrinking urban regions. Artistic intercessions help sensitize the public to a global phenomenon which poses a completely new social challenge.

Summary:
In the decades after World War II, artists and designers of the land art movement used the natural landscape to create monumental site-specific artworks. Second Site offers a powerful meditation on how environmental change and the passage of time alter and transform the meanings—and sometimes appearances—of works created to inhabit a specific place. James Nisbet offers fresh approaches to well-known artworks by Ant Farm, Rebecca Belmore, Nancy Holt, Richard Serra, and Robert Smithson. He also examines the work of less recognized artists such as Agnes Denes, Bonnie Devine, and herman de vries. Nisbet tracks the vicissitudes wrought by climate change and urban development on site-specific artworks, taking readers from the plains of Amarillo, Texas, to a field of volcanic rock in Mexico City, to abandoned quarries in Finland.

Catalogue of the exhibition presenting the work of American architects Platform for Architecture + Research / PAR, founded by Jennifer Marmon in Los Angeles in 2003. Questioning the role and limits of architecture today, Marmon, together with her collective team, are part of a new generation of architects exploring universal topics as a means to expand their discipline in new ways. With its idea of a network of ‘relations’, the exhibition reflects the essential architectural elements that influence the office’s award winning work that aims to establish a dialogue with people as well as the urban fabric. The exhibition presents buildings, competition entries and urban studies that range in scale from small houses to museum concepts e.g. the Wilshire Tower in Los Angeles/US, the Taichung Cultural Center in Taichung/Taiwan, the Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki/Finland and the Lima Art Museum in Lima/Peru.

Merleau-Ponty suggested that the value of people’s experience of the world gained through their immediate bodily engagement with it remains greater than the value of understanding gleaned through abstract mathematical, scientific or technological systems. This book summarizes what Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy has to offer specifically for architects. It locates architectural thinking in the context of his work, placing it in relation to themes such as space, movement, materiality and creativity, introduces key texts, helps decode difficult terms and provides quick reference for further reading.

As sculptor, draughtsman, photographer, and environmental artist, Mary Miss straddles the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, and installation art. Her work moves from the urban bustle of New York, to the vast plains of the American Midwest, to the remote forests of Finland, and has been acclaimed worldwide for its poetry and power. Designed in association with the artist, this exquisitely produced monograph, a comprehensive overview of Miss's work, features thirty-five color images and over 150 duotone photographs of her projects accompanied by copious drawings by the artist. Architectural historian Daniel Abramson, who has been granted unparalleled access to the artist and her archives, addresses each of her projects in detail. An introduction by the well-known art critic Eleanor Heartney situates Miss in the context of contemporary movements in art. Architecture critic Joseph Giovannini places her work within contemporary design practice. Together, the text and images of Mary Miss provide a remarkable look at the work of this groundbreaking public artist.
