Summary:
In recent years building with stone has gained new significance, not only because of its impressive appearance, but also in the debate that has arisen in architecture between the monumental and the transparent. Principally used in façades, but also for interior design, natural stone - and even man-made stone such as concrete and bricks - is now being appreciated for its(...)

Summary:
In recent years building with stone has gained new significance, not only because of its impressive appearance, but also in the debate that has arisen in architecture between the monumental and the transparent. Principally used in façades, but also for interior design, natural stone - and even man-made stone such as concrete and bricks - is now being appreciated for its high-quality performance. For international architects such as Michael Graves, Frank O. Gehry, Mario Botta or Richard Meier, this diverse material plays a major role. This publication examines the use of stone in contemporary architecture, drawing also on the work and experience of such great predecesors as Semper or Hoger. In thematic chapters, it presents the state of the art uses together with information on the extraction and treatment of stone. The emphasis of the book is laid on the many different kinds of natural stone, which come from a wide range of countries. Further chapters elucidate innovative applications of concrete and bricks, also illustrated by international examples. Contributions from Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Fritz Neumeyer and Stanislaus von Moos investigate stone as the enduring material of the town, consider its architectural expressiveness throughout history, and explore its significance as a surface material . A comprehensive appendix contains illustrations of some 70 kinds of natural stone, all of which are concisely documented, ensuring that this volume can be used as a reference for anybody interested in natural stone as a building material. Christoph Mäckler has been exploring stone as a building material both in architectural practice and in research for many years.

Summary:
Over the past decade, Ethiopia has had one of the world's fastest growing economies, largely due to its investments in infrastructure, and it is through building dams, roads, and other infrastructure that the Ethiopian state seeks to become a middle-income country by 2025. Yet most urban Ethiopians struggle to meet their daily needs and actively oppose a ruling party that(...)

Summary:
Over the past decade, Ethiopia has had one of the world's fastest growing economies, largely due to its investments in infrastructure, and it is through building dams, roads, and other infrastructure that the Ethiopian state seeks to become a middle-income country by 2025. Yet most urban Ethiopians struggle to meet their daily needs and actively oppose a ruling party that they associate with corruption and mismanagement. In "Under Construction" Daniel Mains explores the intersection of development and governance by examining the conflicts surrounding the construction of specific infrastructural technologies: asphalt and cobblestone roads, motorcycle taxis, and hydroelectric dams. These projects serve as sites for nation building and the means for the state to assert its legitimacy.

Summary:
Les nouvelles technologies recomposent le monde selon leur propre logique, celle de la performance et de l’efficacité. Elles renforcent le règne de la compétition et l’exigence d’aller toujours plus vite, de se mobiliser intégralement pour son entreprise et sur les « réseaux sociaux », d’être capable de s’adapter à toutes les évolutions technoculturelles, sous peine d’être exclu. L’Homme numérique croit avoir trouvé l’autonomie en se débarrassant des pesanteurs du vieux monde matériel. « Enfin libre! », dit-il, alors qu’au contraire, il dépend de plus en plus de dispositifs technoscientifiques. Pour rester dans la course et tenter de maîtriser un réel qui lui échappe, il multiplie les machines. Mais ce sont elles qui désormais le possèdent.

Summary:
La fabrique et la gestion des villes sont aujourd’hui confrontées, comme de nombreuses autres activités, au remplacement de décisions humaines par des décisions algorithmiques. La substitution n’est pas seulement technique et professionnelle : elle est aussi politique. Elle ne touche pas que les métiers et les emplois : elle affecte la capacité des responsables locaux et des citoyens à penser et à porter des projets de société. Une lutte est donc engagée entre la cité politique, matrice historique des démocraties occidentales, et la ville-service numérisée proposée par les géants de l’économie numérique. Si notre société a pris conscience de l’influence croissante de ces acteurs, elle hésite entre la fascination devant les promesses d’un « salut par la technologie » et la peur d’un monde placé sous surveillance généralisée.
