Summary:
Dans le contexte mondial d’une urbanisation aveugle et à marche forcée, il y a urgence à ce que l’architecte endosse ses responsabilités éthiques et s’engage sans faille au service du bien commun. Il y a nécessité à ce qu’il délaisse la primauté de l’esthétique pour embrasser pleinement son rôle de rempart contre le désastre écologique et social, et l’érosion généralisée(...)

Dans le contexte mondial d’une urbanisation aveugle et à marche forcée, il y a urgence à ce que l’architecte endosse ses responsabilités éthiques et s’engage sans faille au service du bien commun. Il y a nécessité à ce qu’il délaisse la primauté de l’esthétique pour embrasser pleinement son rôle de rempart contre le désastre écologique et social, et l’érosion généralisée des droits à la ville, à la nature et à la culture. À travers cinq textes importants, l'archéologues et historien de l’art de l’Italie contemporaine donne ici la mesure de la dimension politique de la pratique architecturale, et exhorte les jeunes générations à étayer leur exercice sur des valeurs humanistes. Soutenus par une figure intellectuelle dont l’érudition ajoute à la force de la pensée, ces propos chargés d’anxiété le sont aussi d’un élan propre à redonner un sens moral et collectif à une profession qui a longtemps lâché les rênes du civisme pour répondre aux exigences du monde marchand.

Fondé en 2009, PARC Architectes, dont le siège est à Paris, s'est hissé au rang de référence, remportant des prix et des récompenses en France et au-delà. Tout aussi importante que son travail de conception est la recherche de PARC Architectes sur l'architecture contemporaine et l'urbanisme, présentée dans l'essai "Le Parc Planétaire", publié dans la revue PRAGMA de la firme et sur son blogue CRAPZINE. Ce premier ouvrage consacré à PARC Architectes présente quinze conceptions fondamentales de la firme, choisies pour refléter son credo selon lequel l'environnement doit devenir une question d'architecture. A l'interface de l'art et de la science, les conceptions de PARC Architectes sont des installations plutôt que de simples structures, permettant des réponses adéquates aux questions contextuelles et conceptuelles dans la construction des environnements humains contemporains. En plus de brefs essais, le livre comprend aussi une centaine d'illustrations, dont plusieurs en couleur.

Summary:
Centred on the Fundación ENAIRE by GFA2, this volume is the opening publication in a new series, ''First works''. Often going untold, the series attempts to package and present the making of early built work of young and emerging architects. It is an effort to make evident not only the finished documents of a building but those that tell the story of how the process was undertaken and the challenges were navigated. Collectively, the series acts as both a repository of emerging work, an opportunity for a young generation of architects to publish, and as a guide of sorts for the generation below them who are yet to complete their own first work. GFA2 is an architectural practice based in Santander, Spain, and Sydney, Australia. Co-founded by Gabriel and Guillermo Fernández-Abascal in 2018, the office approaches design from an intellectual and technical background, simultaneously. GFA2’s collaborative environment enables the delivery of a broad set of projects across various scales and locations.The projects are clear and direct, creating spatial frameworks where contemporary life unfolds in all their complexity.

To find out, Anna Bates initiated an experiment in 2017, tasking one architect to use a painting by Theo van Doesburg as a stimulus for creating their own work. This would then be passed on to other architects, who in turn would draw inspiration for their new work, and so on, growing into a web of conversation, interplay, and inspiration. Gary Bates of Space Group was invited to create the first work.

Summary:
Building a skyscraper requires more than steel and concrete—it takes a wide array of people, each with their particular skills. In Autobiography of a Skyscraper, legendary developer Francis Greenburger offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the construction of Chicago's 1000M tower, describing the way almost 1,000 people—from concrete workers to concierges, architects to investors—transformed an empty lot into a 74-story landmark. "Real estate isn't about property; it's about people," Greenburger reflects in this book that, throughout, underscores his point. This is the story of an Italian immigrant who bet his family's entire inheritance on a hole in the ground; of window installers dancing on narrow ledges 800 feet above Michigan Avenue; of a chief concierge managing a community of 700 residents across 80,000 square feet of amenities; and of the safety manager who "babysits grown men" to keep them safe hundreds of feet in the air.
