Summary:
Très critique de l’industrie agroalimentaire, mais aussi très perplexe devant les actions posées par les militants de la cause animale, Dominic Lamontagne a voulu engager un dialogue avec un militant végane afin d’approfondir les enjeux liés à l’alimentation et à l’avenir de notre agriculture. Sous forme d’échange épistolaire, il croise le fer avec Jean-François Dubé sur l’antispécisme et le véganisme autour de trois grands thèmes: l’éthique, la santé et l’environnement. Mais entre la paysannerie «omnicole» que défend Dominic et le véganisme éthique promu par Jean-François, les points de vue semblent irréconciliables. Si le repas entre les deux comparses est impossible, le débat, lui, est bien substantiel.

Summary:
In recent years there has been increased debate on the incorporation of pedagogy into curatorial practice — on what has been termed "the educational turn" ("turn" in the sense of a paradigmatic reorientation, within the arts). In this new volume, artists, curators, critics and academics respond to this widely recognized turn in contemporary art. Consisting primarily of newly commissioned texts, from interviews and position statements to performative text and dialogue, this book also includes a number of previously published writings that have proved primary in the debate so far. Contributors include David Aguirre, Dave Beech, Cornford & Cross, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Tom Holert and Emily Pethick.

Summary:
Emergency Exit, the installation exposed and explored in this full-color book, merges the disciplines of architecture and art within a collaborative dialogue between artists Agnieszka Kurant and Aleksandra Wasilkowska, who represented Poland with this project at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice in 2010. In their essay, the artists present the ideas behind Emergency Exit and the concept of ''urban portable holes,'' and such artifacts as Utopian Ruins and Fictional Sports. An archive of reference images, theories, films, and documents inspire and support their work within expanding and interrelated subjects; critics add commentary, and Hans Ulrich Obrist conducts a dual interview with Kurant and Wasilkowska.

Summary:
This book is about the power of thought in architecture by renowned Dutch architect Wiel Arets. Without his strong conceptual thinking, the Academy for Arts Maastricht, Hedge House, the University library Utrecht, the Jellyfish house, the 4 Towers in Osdorp, the Allianz Headquarters and Wiel Arets’ product designs for Alessi wouldn’t be of exceptional and outstanding quality. Wiel Arets believes that research and education are an intrinsic part of being an architect. The development of Arets’ ideas is shown in their multitude of thought and action. Architect Wiel Arets speaks, but also enters into a dialogue with others, while his work is critically analysed.

Ce livre arrive à un moment charnière de la production de l'urbain : évolution des outils numériques, participation accrue du public, désir d'images et de débats sur la ville.

James Stirling: Revisionary Modernist is the first in-depth, book-length analysis of the architect's work. Amanda Reeser Lawrence focuses on six of Stirling's projects from the early 1950s through the late 1970s, offering detailed formal analysis of the buildings and drawings while also mapping his relationship to a broader architectural and cultural context. Though it is widely held that Stirling took a mid-career turn toward postmodernism, Lawrence shows that he was undeniably modern throughout his career. She clarifies the ways in which Stirling understood modernism as inextricably linked to the past and placed his own work in what he termed a "dialogue with architectural tradition."

Summary:
Pour l'anthropologue, le paysage est un construit social et consiste en une représentation qui n'a pas de réalité objective. Comme objet politique, le paysage est l'enjeu d'une lutte entre divers acteurs pour le définir de manière particulière. Le concept de posture paysagère décrit le discours et la position observable prise par un individu face à un paysage en lien avec sa profession, son origine sociale, son histoire personnelle, etc. Cette théorie anthropologique du paysage nous permet de proposer des outils pratiques pour une négociation paysagère : reconnaître que chacun représente une (ou plusieurs) postures paysagères conduit à des prises de position plus souples et ouvre au dialogue.
