Ce livre rassemble une sélection d'expérimentations architecturales réparties sur plusieurs continents. Les réalisations d' André Ravéreau s'appuient sur les gestes sédentaires ancestraux des bâtisseurs de la vallée du M'Zab en Algérie. Marcel Kalberer invente des structures vivantes en branches de saules. Au nord du Cameroun, l'association Patrimoine sans frontières a aidé la communauté musgum à construire un ensemble de cases obus. En Colombie, Simdn Vélez réinterprète l'art de construire en bambou des Indiens. L'Irano-américain Nader Khalili invente l'igloo de terre pour parer au plus pressé lors de catastrophes sismiques ou de conflits qui entraînent des déplacements de populations. Olivier Delarozière et Ursula Gleeson proposent une démarche à la fois architecturale, constructive et artistique sur le thème de l'empilement. Benjamin Jacquemet et Carolyn Wittendal ont affiné leur réflexion sur l'architecture en étudiant l'architecture verte américaine. Le vent comme matériau architectural est l'objet des recherches de Shiva Tolouie et Hervé Richard qui explorent, depuis 2001, les anciennes tours des vents de la ville de Yazd en Iran.

Summary:
Crossover is the very first publication by the Delft School of Design (DSD), a laboratory for research and experimentation in architecture, urbanism and technologies of construction at the TU Delft. Its investigations cover a wide variety of subjects, from theoretical considerations and historical studies to urban and architectural practices and contemporary structural design. What they all have in common is the emerging condition of architectural and urban knowledge in both the academic context and professional practice. Since its inception in 2003, the DSD has developed a strategy or field of inquiry for mapping new means of approaching the complexity of the contemporary urban and architectural conditions. Traditional approaches are seen to be increasingly inadequate in the face of this complexity. This is in part due to the nature of the information age. Yet, on the other hand, new technologies offer us the challenge and the potential to represent our world in unprecedenteded ways.

Summary:
With its emphasis on permanence and stability, architecture at first resists an easy pairing with live performance, usually considered ephemeral and elusive. But architecture and performance share a core concern: the interplay of bodies and space. 'Bodybuilding' examines the use of live performance by architects. Looking past the unbuilt, utopian projects of the early(...)

Summary:
With its emphasis on permanence and stability, architecture at first resists an easy pairing with live performance, usually considered ephemeral and elusive. But architecture and performance share a core concern: the interplay of bodies and space. 'Bodybuilding' examines the use of live performance by architects. Looking past the unbuilt, utopian projects of the early modernists or the postwar avant-garde, the authors unearth an alternative canon of architects who actually employ performance to fortify the process of building, or else to explore architecture’s enmeshment with labor, security, race, migration, the environment, gentrification, and public assembly. For these architects, performance can be a tool, a method, or a heuristic device; in every case, performance is a blade that cuts into the matter of architecture. With rates of construction plummeting after the financial crisis of 2007–08, newly minted architects have had to find alternative ways to continue working within the field. 'Bodybuilding' grounds these new practices within a century of precedents, and insists that performance is a critical tool to rethink architecture’s agency, goals, and aesthetics.

Summary:
Première traduction française de l'essai fondateur de l'architecte espagnol sur le type en architecture. Après avoir déjà traduit en 2019 un autre livre – Silencios elocuentes – du même auteur, les éditions Cosa Mentale veulent continuer à rendre possible la découverte de la leçon de Carlos Martí Arís, la considérant d'une importance fondamentale pour la culture architecturale actuelle. En particulier, dans ce livre, l'auteur présente une théorie de la conception architecturale selon laquelle l'idée de type n'est pas conçue comme un mécanisme de reproduction mais comme une structure de la forme capable de développements multiples. Cette édition comprend une introduction rédigée par Raphael Moneo, l'un des architectes espagnols les plus connus sur la scène internationale, dont le regard lucide sur le passé et le présent souligne l'extrême actualité du contenu d'un ouvrage originellement publié en 1993.

Summary:
As teachers of architectural design, Kent Bloomer and Charles Moore have attempted to introduce architecture from the standpoint of how buildings are experienced, how the affect individuals and communities emotionally and provide us with a sense of joy, identity, and place. In giving priority to these issues and in questioning the professional reliance on abstract two-dimensional drawings, they often find themselves in conflict with a general and undebated assumption that architecture is a highly specialized system with a set of prescribed technical goals, rather than a sensual social art historically derived from experiences and memories of the human body. "Body, memory, and architecture" traces the significance of the body from its place as the divine organizing principle in the earliest built forms to its near elimination from architectural thought in this century. The authors draw on contemporary models of spatial perception as well as on body-image theory in arguing for a return of the body to its proper place in the architectural equation. With a contribution by Robert J. Yudell.

Summary:
This volume is a theory of contemporary architecture, spanning the work of 112 practices in 750 images. Against the popular characterization of contemporary architecture as a centerless field where anything goes and everything is possible, the book argues that much recent work belongs to a collective undertaking. Underneath the impression of kaleidoscopic difference produced by the rapid circulation of design images, there is a shared mechanism, an agreement about how architectural objects emerge from the procedures of design. This mechanism, which we call "Inscription", manages to both offer fundamentally intelligible form to architecture’s audiences, while at the same time advancing the field toward novel outcomes. The ensuing work is nothing less than democratically optimistic in its wide appeal and challenging in its cuts against convention.
