Summary:
"Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux que passionnent les secrets techniques de l'espace théâtral, ces machineries du rêve qui travaillent obscurément dans ses entrailles et embarquent le spectateur vers de nouvelles contrées ; tous ceux pour qui l'envers du décor, situé aux frontières du réel et de l'imaginaire, représente une source inépuisable de fascination. Avant l'ouverture du spectacle "officiel" se déroulent ainsi pour les initiés les mouvements d'une silencieuse chorégraphie, un spectacle de l'ombre où la technologie s'est mise au service d'une sorte de poésie parallèle, que rythment les majestueuses métamorphoses de la scène et de la salle. Une fois franchi le léger obstacle du vocabulaire technique propre à l'univers théâtral, avec l'aide du lexique, le lecteur trouvera ici de quoi alimenter ses réflexions sur l'art éternel du théâtre, dont le présent ouvrage aborde un aspect souvent méconnu."

Summary:
Le Corbusier famously said, ''A house is a machine for living in.'' We now confront the litany of environmental challenges associated with the legacy of the architectural machine: a changing climate, massive species die-off, diminished air and water quality, and resource scarcities. Brook Muller offers an alternative: water-centric urban design that fosters(...)

Summary:
Le Corbusier famously said, ''A house is a machine for living in.'' We now confront the litany of environmental challenges associated with the legacy of the architectural machine: a changing climate, massive species die-off, diminished air and water quality, and resource scarcities. Brook Muller offers an alternative: water-centric urban design that fosters sustainability, equity, and architectural creativity. Inspired by the vernacular, such as the levadas of Madeira Island and both the arid and drenched places of the American West, Muller articulates a ''hydro-logical'' philosophy in which architects and planners begin by conceptualizing interactions between existing waterways and the spaces they intend to develop. From these interactions—and the new technologies and approaches enabling them—aesthetic, spatial, and experiential opportunities follow. Not content merely to work around sensitive ecology, Muller argues for genuinely climate-adapted urban landscapes in which buildings act as ecological infrastructure that actually improve watersheds while delivering functionality and beauty for diverse communities. Rich in images and practical examples, ''Blue architecture'' will change the way we think about our designed world.

Summary:
Provocative, and controversial when first published thirty years ago, Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” is even more relevant today, when the divisions that she so eloquently challenges—of human and machine but also of gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and location—are increasingly complex. The subsequent “Companion Species Manifesto,” which further questions(...)

Summary:
Provocative, and controversial when first published thirty years ago, Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” is even more relevant today, when the divisions that she so eloquently challenges—of human and machine but also of gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and location—are increasingly complex. The subsequent “Companion Species Manifesto,” which further questions the human–nonhuman disjunction, is no less urgently needed in our time of environmental crisis and profound polarization.
