De Portzamparc et Sollers se connaissent depuis vingt ans et parlent ensemble de leurs passions communes : la poésie, l'architecture. C'est l'événement du 11 Septembre qui ouvre ce dialogue sur cette interrogation béante face à laquelle cela nous a laissé : à quelle destruction avons nous assisté ce jour-là ? Est-ce la fin d'un monde, et de quel monde ? Pourquoi, comment a-t-on inventé la rue ? le café ? la place ? La musique est-elle de même essence que l'architecture ? Préface de Hélène Bleskine qui a pensé, originellement, à cette rencontre entre l'architecte et l'écrivain.

Conceived by photographer Naoya Hatakeyama, this tribute to Toyo Ito’s design for the Taichung Opera House in Taiwan offers an eye-opening look at an extraordinary building, its urban context, and daily use.

Summary:
Urban design and wildness may seem at odds, yet as cities evolve, wildness is increasingly seen as a resource - shaping how we think about and create our living environments. From urban gardening to rewilding projects, wild practices are gaining ground. Are these trends signs of genuine transformation or just the commercialization of sustainability? How are other disciplines rethinking wildness? And how can architects and planners engage critically with these ideas? "Let’s Talk Wild!" brings together 12 interdisciplinary voices in a multi-layered dialogue on chaos, creativity, and the complex meanings of wildness.
