Summary:
La collection « Open-A » a pour ambition majeure d’explorer le potentiel de réinterprétation lié à l’histoire et à la théorie en architecture. En d’autres termes, « Open-A » vise à parcourir les récits des époques antérieures, de construire de nouvelles associations, de faire émerger de nouveaux concepts, par le biais d’une relecture du passé en vue d’une description de l’état présent de l’architecture. Le premier tome de la collection, dirigé par Xavier Van Rooyen et intitulé « Open Architecture », débute par la traduction d’une interview de Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers et David Van Severen. Il est en outre né à partir d’un cycle de conférences (2017 – 2019) qui a regroupé des interventions de Jacques Lucan, Dominique Rouillard, Roberto Gargiani, Catherine Blain, Dirk van den Heuvel et Véronique Patteeuw. Ces conférences s’étaient ancrées dans la période des années 1960 marquée par la transition du modernisme au postmodernisme, une époque optimiste, politiquement engagée, florissante en imaginaires et en récits visuels, radicale dans sa pensée et dans la révolution qu’elle prônait.

In this issue of Architectural Design the guest editors are drawn, like the content, from contrasting tastes and generations. Charles Jencks, the definer of Post-Modernism for thirty years, discusses some issues that have re-emerged today, while the young group of British architects, FAT, argues for a particular version of RPM. An interview between Rem Koohaas and Charles Jencks discusses the influence of Post-Modernism while investigations of street art, graffiti and the 1980 Venice Biennale show that communication is at the heart of this radical strain of architecture.

Summary:
The iconic architecture of the brutalist modernist megastructure of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada built by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1960s is the site of the artistic research project into the history of this "radical campus" and its built environment by Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. The collaborative research group, "Guests and Hosts", formed by Bitter & Weber and Métis scholar June Scudeler including Métis scholar and student Treena Chambers, Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk student Toni-Leah Yake, as well as Rachel Warwick and Hannah Campbell, has challenged the narrative of the radical campus, so called because it was informed by experimental concepts of learning and teaching. Using the spaces of a settler colonial institution, the project shifts perspectives by unsettling and challenging western- based concepts of pedagogy and knowledge. Combining archival photographic material, architectural photographs by the artists, and interventions into the institutional spaces by Guests and Hosts, the project performs the claim for places rather than spaces for Indigenous ways of knowing and learning.

Summary:
This edited collection of essays and image-driven pieces by anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, and historians examines the legacies of African architecture from around the time of independence through examples from different countries. Drawing on ethnography, archival research, and careful observation of buildings, remains, and people, the case studies seek to connect the colonial and postcolonial origins of modernist architecture, the historical processes they underwent, and their present use and habitation, adaptation, and decay. Deriving from a workshop in connection with the 2015 exhibition ''Forms of Freedom'' at the National Museum in Oslo and the Venice Biennale, the volume combines recent developments in architectural history, the anthropology of modernism and of material culture, and contemporary archaeology to move beyond the admiration or preservation of prized architectural ''heritage'' and to complicate the contemplation—or critique—of ''ruins'' and ''ruination.''

Summary:
With this book, Jeffrey Saletnik explores the origins of Josef Albers’s teaching practices and their significance in conveying attitudes about form, material, and sensory understanding to artists Eva Hesse and Richard Serra. He demonstrates how pedagogy is a framework that establishes the possibility for artistic discourse and how the methods through which artists learn are manifested in their individual practices. Tracing through lines from Albers’s training in German educational traditions to his influence on American postwar art, this volume positions Albers’s pedagogy as central to the life of modernism.

Summary:
Berlin-based photographer Jean Molitor has been traveling around the world since 2009, tracking the legacy of the Bauhaus. A century after the founding of the school, several generations of architects have confronted or been reared on the innovations of Bauhaus architecture. Trailblazers, allies and heirs to modernism are united by an architectural language generally described as "Bauhaus." In his Bau1haus project, Molitor focuses on the aesthetics of Bauhaus-influenced architecture across the globe; his pictures make it possible to perceive the continuity of the school's legacy and its architectural language across cultures in a clear fashion.

Summary:
It is evident that modernity is a popular mountain for analyses and reflection of a largely controversial nature. Numerous theories have also been written about the beginning as well as the end of modernity. The aim of the Modernologies exhibition is to achieve an account of the state of artistic research and to discuss selected contributions on the subject matter that appear central after two to three decades of an ever intensely blazing conflict over the legacy of modernity and modernism.
