Summary:
In 1977, Max Neuhaus turned a triangle of pedestrian space between 45th and 46th Streets in Times Square into an island of harmonic sound. The rich textures of that sound continue today, emanating from beneath the sidewalk grating, to anonymously reach an individual’s ears as if one has stumbled upon a secret. Known as Times Square, the celebrated installation was(...)

In 1977, Max Neuhaus turned a triangle of pedestrian space between 45th and 46th Streets in Times Square into an island of harmonic sound. The rich textures of that sound continue today, emanating from beneath the sidewalk grating, to anonymously reach an individual’s ears as if one has stumbled upon a secret. Known as Times Square, the celebrated installation was restored in 2002 with support from Dia Art Foundation, which further commissioned a site-specific piece, Time Piece Beacon, from Neuhaus in 2006 for its museum in Beacon, New York.

Fortunately, Toronto's archival resources, supplemented by private and public collections elsewhere, are extensive enough to support an investigation of these interior spaces.Many images are glorious, all are informative.

Cette publication entend contribuer à l’élaboration d’un regard critique aux dynamiques qui émergent de la croisée des notions de numérique et de l’urbain.

Summary:
Cette publication entend contribuer à l’élaboration d’un regard critique aux dynamiques qui émergent de la croisée des notions de numérique et de l’urbain. Les mots digital et polis servent de « ruse » pour déplacer le regard, sans l’enfermer dans des discours dominants ou des significations préconçues : la ville est prise en compte en tant que polis, c’est-à-dire celui qui serait le support actif d’un espace politique et social, et le numérique s’élargit à la notion de digitus, de l’empreinte digitale, où il serait possible de repérer la trace de l’humain, la présence du corps.

C'est un support imprimé qui permet d'expérimenter et d'interroger l'espace, la ville, le paysage, le chantier et l'habiter. Son but est de livrer une critique architecturale innovante, plurielle, graphique et grammaticale, réunissant des positionnements artistiques, littéraires et philosophiques. Ce quatrième numéro de fig. montre quelques possibilités de concevoir d’autres architectures et d’entendre d’autres récits, hors des logiques immobilières et culturelles actuelles essentiellement basées sur la spéculation et la rentabilité, auxquelles on donne encore trop de latitude.
