Summary:
Something Fantastic is about architecture. It is about the future. It is about the environment, energy and politics. It is about beautiful things. It is about being naïve enough to ask the right questions. It isn’t about being hip or calculated, or about posturing. Three young architects, Elena Schuetz, Julian Schubert, and Leonard Streich, lay out a manifesto for(...)

It is about being naïve enough to ask the right questions. It isn’t about being hip or calculated, or about posturing. Three young architects, Elena Schuetz, Julian Schubert, and Leonard Streich, lay out a manifesto for increased consciousness in thought and action. Plans and proposals for architecture ranging from the built to the utopian engage this spatial inquiry into the possibilities in the real world.

Summary:
Les villes confrontées à l'immigration ont-elles un autre avenir possible que celui, sans issue, d'une ségrégation spatiale chaque jour plus sévère? N'y a-t-il pas d'autre voie pour les métropoles européennes que la dérive vers le modèle américain des « gated communities » et des ghettos ethniques, véritable bombe sociale à retardement? Militant en faveur d'une urbanité plus inclusive et pacifiée, un collectif d'urbanistes et d'architectes engagés livre ici le fruit de ses réflexions et expérimentations menées à Marseille, au cœur de certains des quartiers parmi les plus pauvres et délabrés d'Europe.Sous leur regard dépassionné et vierge de toute stigmatisation, les redoutés « Quartiers Nord?» de la cité phocéenne apparaissent pour ce qu'ils sont : le résultat d'une succession d'erreurs architecturales, urbanistiques et politiques. Et en conséquence, affirment les auteurs, si des solutions existent à la mise à l'écart des migrants et des plus démunis de la ville centre et de ses activités, c'est dans l'intervention architecturale et la révision des règlements urbains qu'il faut les chercher. Inventives, audacieuses, attaquant de front les aménageurs d'une urbanité capitaliste et exclusive, leurs propositions sont d'autant plus stimulantes qu'elles sont simples, efficaces et durables. Et si certaines sont ouvertement utopiques, elles ne le seront jamais plus que celles des architectes modernistes qui, dans les années soixante, ont conçu ces tours et ces barres dans l'idée d'exalter le bien-être de leurs habitants.

One of the difficulties about reexamining the subject of realism lies in the passage from the initial idea of magical realism to the concept of new objectivity. Actually it is possible to return to the initial notion, elaborating the concept of marvelous reality which with that idea of a mixture of the real and the fantastic seeks to maintain something of the heroic and(...)

Summary:
One of the difficulties about reexamining the subject of realism lies in the passage from the initial idea of magical realism to the concept of new objectivity. Actually it is possible to return to the initial notion, elaborating the concept of marvelous reality which with that idea of a mixture of the real and the fantastic seeks to maintain something of the heroic and the sublime. The realistic way of preserving the sublime that, in defiance of the 'real' world, succeeds in living that illusion: this is the direction in which we want to interpret the symptoms of a return of the real in architecture. In short magical realism does not make us long for normality, but invites us to look beyond every norm hidden by conventions.
