Summary:
Fantasmapolis, la ville contemporaine et ses imaginaires est le fruit d'une réflexion sur la ville à l'ère de la globalisation. L'exposition réalisée dans ce cadre réunit des artistes qui abordent la ville contemporaine dans des perspectives utopiques, critiques ou poétiques. L'association de leurs œuvres crée un paysage urbain fantasmagorique plutôt qu'elle ne témoigne d'un regard documentaire. La circulation accrue des personnes et la communication accélérée des informations transforment les espaces urbains en lieux de transit où l'individu tend à disparaître. Reste alors un décor architectural immobile, suspendu dans le temps et dans l'espace. Les artistes proposent des visions de villes décontextualisées : cités existantes ou imaginaires, elles forment un univers urbain fantasmé. Conçu à la fois comme un complément de l'exposition et un ouvrage théorique, ce catalogue rassemble des textes qui reflètent une recherche pluridisciplinaire autour de la ville contemporaine. Valérie Mavridorakis et David Perreau introduisent la publication en résumant la problématique de Fantasmapolis. Évoquant la globalisation, Elvan Zabunyan inscrit le propos de l'exposition dans une perspective postcoloniale. Un texte de Lieven de Cauter présente les processus de théâtralisation qui affectent l'urbanité. Bruce Bégout se livre à une investigation philosophique de Las Vegas, emblème de la ville décor. Un entretien avec l'architecte et urbaniste Serge Wachter permet de soulever des questions relatives au transit urbain. Marie-Ange Brayer analyse l'utilisation de la maquette d'architecture dans l'art contemporain. Enfin, un écrit inédit de Bodys Isek Kingelez complète cet espace de réflexion et introduit les notices consacrées aux artistes.

Summary:
This comparative history of American architecture, social spaces, and engineered environments — organized by style, and then by chronology — is for the general reader. Within its heavily illustrated pages, Tom Martinson traces two millennia of the built environment of this endlessly fascinating, extraordinarily expansive, and utterly diverse nation. Pairing vibrant photography with a rich knowledge of the history of architecture in America — from the Hopi and Colonial years to neomodernism, Robert A. M. Stern, and Zaha Hadid — the book is a comprehensive overview of styles and developments, as well as telling the story of a country through its buildings.

The book is the first to document the artist´s newest projects and presents an extensive overview over her oeuvre.

En s'appuyant sur l'histoire des traités et des théories architecturales depuis le XVIIe siècle, Grassi défend une discipline autonome, rigoureuse et responsable, capable de répondre aux enjeux du territoire et du phénomène urbain. Ce texte fondamental dessine les contours d'une architecture entendue comme une théorie pratique, où la construction devient l'expression la plus aboutie de la pensée.

Summary:
Architecture and Authorship comprises 17 essays, encompassing a variety of contemporary and historical case studies, which explore issues of authorship, ownership and "copyright" in architecture. The book documents how, from the fifteenth century onwards, individual architects and movements have endeavoured to maintain their status by defending what they see as their own unique territory -- the origins and intentions of their work, and their signature style. Written contributions from international experts in architecture and art history cover a variety of fascinating topics, including domestic space; eighteenth century landscape gardens; the Berlin of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; and postmodernism and the "Death of the Author;" as well as exploring the work of luminaries from Ernst Neufert and Cedric Price to Rem Koolhaas. Architecture and Authorship is a lavishly illustrated alternative look at the history and culture of architecture, and the thought processes and ideas behind a variety of architectural "practices."

Summary:
The work presented in this book is an invitation to undertake an urgent architectural and political thought experiment: to rethink today’s struggles for justice and equality not only from the historical perspective of revolution, but also from that of a continued struggle for decolonization; consequently, to rethink the problem of political subjectivity not from the point of view of a Western conception of a liberal citizen but rather from that of the displaced and extraterritorial refugee. You will not find here descriptions of popular uprising, armed resistance, or political negotiations, despite these of course forming an integral and necessary part of any radical political transformation. Instead, the authors present a series of provocative projects that try to imagine “the morning after revolution.”

Summary:
In the discussion of architecture, the prevailing sentiment of the past three decades has been that cultural production can no longer be understood to arise spontaneously, as a matter of social course, but is constructed through ever more self-conscious theoretical procedures. The development of interpretive modes of various stripes--poststructuralist, Marxian, phenomenological, psychoanalytic, as well as others dissenting or eccentric--has given scholars a range of tools for rethinking architecture in relation to other fields and for reasserting architecture's general importance in intellectual discourse. This long-awaited anthology is in some sense a sequel to Joan Ockman's "Architecture Culture 1943-1968, A Documentary Anthology" (1993). It presents forty-seven of the primary texts of contemporary architecture theory, introducing each by detailing the concepts and categories necessary for its understanding and evaluation. It also presents twelve documents of projects or events that had major theoretical repercussions for the period. Several of the essays appear here in English for the first time.
