Le changement est tantôt radical, tantôt surprenant, parfois la ville est à l'image de ce qu'elle était. Au-delà du paysage, c'est aussi la population, les magasins et les entreprises qui passent sous l'analyse des deux compères. Un beau livre qui donne à réfléchir et qui invite à se promener dans Québec pour revisiter la ville d'autrefois.

Summary:
Over the last ten years, the ancient city of Hangzhou, China, has tripled in size and added over a million people to its population. Learning from Hangzhou is an extended photoessay that situates Hangzhou within the physically and culturally transformative pressures of China's unbridled economic expansion. Between 2003 and 2008, more than 3,000 images of Hangzhou were taken, and then sorted for recurrent subject matter. This resulting condensed portrait catalogues such themes as the ubiquity of demolition and construction in Hangzhou, its architectural eclecticism, graffiti, advertising and the tenuous relationship between architecture and signage. This photo essay is accompanied by texts that explicate Hangzhou's emblematic role in China's larger transformations.

Summary:
In the early twentieth century, America was transformed from a predominantly agricultural nation to one whose population resided mostly in cities. Yet rural areas continued to hold favored status in the country's political life. For prominent figures in the social sciences, city planning, and real estate who were anxious about the future of cities, this obsession with the agrarian past inspired a new campaign for urban reform. They called for ongoing programs of natural resource management to be extended to maintain and improve cities. Jennifer S. Light finds a new understanding of the history of urban renewal in the United States in the rise and fall of the American conservation movement.

Summary:
Seeds is about Darwin’s natural selection and how it has been overtaken by high-tech plant breeding which in essence accelerates evolution. The book focuses on new food crops that are resistant to pests and diseases, and are bred to contribute significantly to our future food supply. This evokes quintessential questions. Who is actually in charge on this planet? Nature? Human beings? A god? Should humans stop interfering with evolution and go back to the authenticity of small-scale farms and city farming? Or rather, is it humanity’s duty to steer evolution so that we can create enough food to feed the booming world population?

De fait, l’originalité du Japon tient à ce que les changements s’y inscrivent, comme naturellement, dans un cadre immobile. Quelle est pourtant la dynamique interne de ce pays qui, depuis sa préhistoire et jusqu’à la rénovation de Meiji, a su garder son unité ?

Ces formes urbaines, qu’elles soient émergentes ou solidement établies, sont examinées ici à partir des points de vue combinés de l’histoire de l’art, de la sémiologie, des études en communication et de la sociologie, des paradigmes de recherche sur la ville qui sont généralement isolés. Ciblant quatorze études de cas, Formes urbaines : circulation, stockage et transmission de l’expression culturelle à Montréal propose une interprétation nouvelle, médiale, d’une culture proprement montréalaise.

After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony(...)

After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony with nature, traditional building, and an endless search for forms. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book links this unique creativity to Japan's high population density, modern economy, long history, and continual disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, constant change, and catastrophe is a key to understanding how Japanese architecture differs from that of Europe or America.
