Summary:
What changes in teaching and practice, if any, are created by the increasing number of women entering the profession? Do the similar numbers of men and women students attending architectural schools in the west signal a gender-specific architecture? Well-known women architects from Europe and the USA discuss these matters and report their academic and professional experiences, how they see the way ahead and argue - from individual points of view - for a debate on educational structures and how the practice of architecture is composed.

The architecture of failure
$25.95
(available to order)
Summary:
The Architecture of Failure exposes the ways in which failure has been suppressed, ignored and denied in the way we design our cities. It examines the 19th century fantasy architecture of the iron and glass exhibition palaces, strange, unprecedented, dream-like structures, almost all now lost, existing only as melancholy archive fragments; it traces the cultural legacy of(...)

The Architecture of Failure exposes the ways in which failure has been suppressed, ignored and denied in the way we design our cities. It examines the 19th century fantasy architecture of the iron and glass exhibition palaces, strange, unprecedented, dream-like structures, almost all now lost, existing only as melancholy archive fragments; it traces the cultural legacy of these buildings through the heroics of the early 20th century, post-war radicals and recent developments, discussing related themes in art, literature, politics and philosophy.

Non sans paradoxe, c’est à Paris que Walter Benjamin trouve les traces de ce qui lui permet de déchiffrer la nature, mieux la vérité de la modernité. Charles Baudelaire lui a servi de guide dans ces nouveaux temples du culte marchand que sont les passages couverts. Mais, en 1930, le luxe n’y est plus, tout comme le flâneur, c’est donc à une autre réalité que s’attache(...)

Summary:
Non sans paradoxe, c’est à Paris que Walter Benjamin trouve les traces de ce qui lui permet de déchiffrer la nature, mieux la vérité de la modernité. Charles Baudelaire lui a servi de guide dans ces nouveaux temples du culte marchand que sont les passages couverts. Mais, en 1930, le luxe n’y est plus, tout comme le flâneur, c’est donc à une autre réalité que s’attache alors Benjamin, une réalité où l’aura a disparu. L’ouvrage examine les travaux de Benjamin dans une perspective historique, philosophique et théorique.

Toward a minor architecture
$28.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Architecture can no longer limit itself to the art of making buildings; it must also invent the politics of taking them apart. This is Jill Stoner’s premise for a minor architecture. Her architect’s eye tracks differently from most, drawn not to the lauded and iconic but to what she calls “the landscape of our constructed mistakes”--metropolitan hinterlands rife with(...)

Summary:
Architecture can no longer limit itself to the art of making buildings; it must also invent the politics of taking them apart. This is Jill Stoner’s premise for a minor architecture. Her architect’s eye tracks differently from most, drawn not to the lauded and iconic but to what she calls “the landscape of our constructed mistakes”--metropolitan hinterlands rife with failed and foreclosed developments, undersubscribed office parks, chain hotels, and abandoned malls. These graveyards of capital, Stoner asserts, may be stripped of their excess and become sites of strategic spatial operations. But first we must dissect and dismantle prevalent architectural mythologies that brought them into being--western obsessions with interiority, with the autonomy of the building-object, with the architect’s mantle of celebrity, and with the idea of nature as that which is “other” than the built metropolis. These four myths form the warp of the book.

Elles tentent d'éviter l'écueil consistant à présenter ce domaine aux yeux du grand public comme une valeur culturelle fondée soit sur la dimension patrimoniale, soit sur les prouesses techniques des grands ouvrages d'art, ou encore sur la dimension événementielle de certaines réalisations qui se prêtent aux jeux des caméra et deviennent de parfaits décors pour le fond d'écran des journaux télévisés.
