1985-2015 : les réalisations architecturales semblent devenues d'une telle diversité qu'il paraît vain de vouloir identifier parmi elles de possibles points communs ou de grands principes partagés. Pourquoi ne pas les considérer individuellement, et les accepter dans leur singularité ? Jacques Lucan propose une toute autre lecture. Précisions sur un état présent de(...)

Pourquoi ne pas les considérer individuellement, et les accepter dans leur singularité ? Jacques Lucan propose une toute autre lecture. Précisions sur un état présent de l'architecture offre une compréhension inédite des problématiques architecturales les plus importantes de ces trente dernières années, articulée autour des thèmes essentiels qui sous-tendent l'art et la manière de concevoir un bâtiment. Il aborde les questions fondamentales qui sont au coeur même de la réflexion et du travail de l'architecte. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux, étudiants, architectes ou amateurs, désireux de comprendre l'architecture contemporaine. Au-delà de tout cliché, il procure au lecteur les véritables clefs de compréhension d'une situation particulièrement riche et complexe.

Summary:
In this short, intentionally polemical book, Neil Leach draws on the ideas of philosophers and cultural theorists such as Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard to develop a novel and highly incisive critique of the consequences of the growing preoccupation with images and image-making in contemporary architectural culture. The problem with this preoccupation, Leach argues, is that it can induce a sort of numbness, as the saturation of images floods the senses and obscures deeper concerns. This problem is particularly acute for a discipline such as architecture, which relies heavily on visual representation. As a result, architects can become anaesthetized from the social and political realities of everyday life. In the intoxicating world of the image, the aesthetics of architecture threaten to become the anaesthetics of architecture. In this culture of aesthetic consumption, this "culture of the cocktail," meaningful discourse gives way to strategies of seduction, and architectural design is reduced to the superficial play of empty, seductive forms.

Summary:
Digital tools have launched architecture into a dizzying new era, one in which wood, stone, metal, glass, and other traditional materials are augmented by pixels and code. In this ambitious exploration, an eminent thinker examines what, exactly, the building blocks of architecture have meant over the centuries and how technology may-or may not-be changing how we think(...)

Summary:
Digital tools have launched architecture into a dizzying new era, one in which wood, stone, metal, glass, and other traditional materials are augmented by pixels and code. In this ambitious exploration, an eminent thinker examines what, exactly, the building blocks of architecture have meant over the centuries and how technology may-or may not-be changing how we think about them. Antoine Picon argues that materiality is not only about matter and that the silence and inscrutability-the otherness-of raw materials work against humanity's need to live in a meaningful world. He describes how people define who they are, in part, through their specific physical experience of architectural materials and spaces. Indeed, Picon asserts, the entire paradox of the architectural discipline consists in its desire to render matter expressive to human beings. Through a retrospective review of canonical moments in Western European architecture, Picon offers an original perspective on the ways materiality has varied throughout centuries, demonstrating how experiences of the physical world have changed in relation to the evolution of human subjectivity. Ultimately, Picon concludes that computer-based design methods are not an abrupt departure from previous architectural traditions but rather a new way for architects to control material resources. The result reinforces the fundamentally humanistic nature of architectural endeavor with an increasing sense of design freedom and a release from material constraint in the digital era.

Summary:
Celui qui observe la production architecturale contemporaine ne peut manquer de constater une résurgence de l’archaïque. Que ce soit dans les formes adoptées, les procédés constructifs et les matériaux utilisés ou les processus mis en œuvre, tout se passe comme si derrière l’épuisement des lumières du présent et du progrès technologique se profilait une autre voie, plongeant dans l’immémorial. Pour autant, cet archaïque contemporain n’est pas un retour nostalgique au passé, mais correspond plutôt à un recentrement sur l’essentiel. Loin d’être simple, cet essentiel est traversé de puissantes et irréductibles tensions. Décrypter cette tendance revient ici à sonder notre culture de l’édifier, à en ausculter les fondements, à y déceler les paradoxes profonds. Autour de six grandes thématiques qui forment les chapitres de cet ouvrage — Installations, Inventions, Archétypes, Corps et affects, Déplacements, Expériences de pensée — ce sont donc six débats qui sont ouverts. Architectes, philosophes, historiens, chercheurs nous aident à mieux comprendre les enjeux d’un moment théorique important de la question architecturale et d’en saisir les possibles.

This publication outlines an approach that shifts the fundamental premises of architectural design and practice in several important ways. First, it acknowledges the centrality of the human organism as an active participant interdependent in its environment. Second, it understands human action in terms of radical embodiment — grounding the range of human activities traditionally attributed to mind and cognition: imagining, thinking, remembering — in the body. Third, it asks what a building does—that is, extends the performative functional interpretation of design to interrogate how buildings move and in turn move us, how they shape thought and action. Finally, it is committed to articulating concrete situations by developing a taxonomy of human/building interactions.
