Summary:
Just like the rebels in Star Wars fighting for freedom against oppressive forces, urban planner, architect and political scientist Caroline Newton was drawn to the struggles over space and rights around the world. Over the years, her work has been driven by a desire to understand – and intervene in – the spatial conditions that shape human lives and social relations. Envisioning Spatial Justice is both a reflection and a proposition. It synthesises insights accumulated through research and teaching and from years of collaborating with students whose graduation projects placed justice at the core of their spatial investigations. Structured around theory, reflection, and design, the book explores what it means to design with justice in mind. Challenging neoliberal paradigms and drawing on feminist, post-colonial, and radical urban theory, it insists on the political power of imagination. Part provocation, part toolkit, part manifesto, "Envisioning spatial justice" speaks to urbanists, designers, educators, and activists committed to co-creating more just and inclusive futures.

Summary:
La littérature joue un rôle important en tant que révélateur d’un rapport dynamique au végétal, basé sur une sensibilité écologique : c’est ce que cherche à montrer cet essai, qui offre une synthèse des réflexions collectives menées dans le cadre du groupe de recherche L’imaginaire botanique. « Entre les feuilles : explorations de l’imaginaire botanique contemporain » adopte une approche botanique de la littérature développée à partir de l’analyse d’un corpus de textes publiés depuis les années 1980, émanant des différentes régions de la francophonie. Aux figures de l’herbier, du jardin, du champ et de la forêt, qui forment les quatre grands axes de la réflexion, s’ajoute un axe transversal, celui de la mobilité des plantes, obligeant à reconsidérer les préconceptions de la plante comme être non doué de mouvement.

Summary:
globalized society, and it will continue to do so in the future. Already today, the demands of the job no longer correspond to the profile on which classical architectural training is based. In this context, the question that arises is no longer that of the building alone, but also that of a changed approach to building and new pathways within design itself. This is where Explorations comes in: internationally celebrated authors, all of whom are professors as well and hence directly involved in the processes they describe, address the principal topics of contemporary architectural research. Taking the works of their own design studios as examples they offer concrete discussions of those topics and place them in the context of applied research and practice. Short and accessible essays on the most important architectural movements of the twentieth century clarify the relationship between the subjects discussed and canonical architectural research.
