This volume maps out a new architectural movement motivated by practices of place-making, occupying and squatting. All the interventions are mobile and nearly all of them are installed without permission from city planners.

Summary:
Parlures régionales, formes non écrites, hybridées, dominées, colonisées, marginales, migrantes, illettrées, clandestines, domestiques… S’articulent ces langues subalternes, dévaluées, ces manières du quotidien, ces lieux de mémoire et de l’intimité. Elles persistent, migrent, opèrent une cartographie souterraine, portent la mémoire du continent et les traces de l’histoire coloniale. S’opèrent alors des pratiques de liberté, des audaces philosophiques et littéraires qui laissent la porte ouverte à tout ce qui est susceptible d’initier une « machine intime de décolonisation ».

Does the influence of machine intelligence, and the coincident avoidance of risk, homogenize creative thought? These ideas are explored in the work of 38 established and emerging artists in a(...)

This collection, edited by scholars with expertise in electronic publishing and the digital humanities, focuses instead on what we might gain—how(...)

Summary:
Ce livre éclaire une période décisive et féconde du travail de Le Corbusier, quand l’originalité de son architecture s’affirme, à l’époque de ses premiers livres théoriques et de la revue L’Esprit Nouveau. Rendant compte d'une recherche de l'auteur qui s'est poursuivi sur près de vingt ans autour de la question de l'habitation moderne, ce volume préfigure un second qui portera sur la dualité typiquement corbuséenne de la "machine à habiter" au regard de la "coquille d'escargot".
