Summary:
Alors que la transformation prochaine du boulevard périphérique s’impose pour l’adapter aux attentes des habitants, aux enjeux climatiques et à l’évolution des mobilités, le Pavillon de l’Arsenal réédite dans une version revue et augmentée l’ouvrage manifeste, 'Des fortifs au périf', publié pour la première fois en 1991. De l’embastillement de Paris en 1832 à l’inauguration du boulevard en 1973, de la transformation des portes en places aux dernières architectures, cette nouvelle édition, intégralement remise en forme, ajoute aux analyses devenues elles-mêmes historiques une synthèse sur l’actualité des trois dernières décennies et un regard sur le destin de ce territoire au centre de la métropole. Construite sous la monarchie de Juillet, la dernière enceinte de Paris reste aujourd’hui gravée dans le paysage, sous la forme de deux anneaux toujours stratégiques. L’ouvrage 'Des Fortifs au périf' dresse le portrait renouvelé d’un siècle et demi de transformations urbaines. Ce territoire a une géographie, il a aussi une histoire singulière, reflet de l’évolution des pensées urbaines et architecturales de leur temps. Jean-Louis Cohen et André Lortie cartographient cette chronologie. Leur analyse, issue de recherches menées entre 1986 et 1990, est actualisée dans cette nouvelle édition.

Summary:
Public spaces, once democratic sites of dissent and cultural transformation, have become centres of private commerce and consumption. Increasingly, municipalities and local businesses collaborate to police urban public spaces, transforming them into highly regulated sites of cultural and economic activity. "The politics of public space" highlights the historical, cultural, and geographical specificity of privatized and repoliticized public space in order to raise the possibility of a different politics of public space and a reimagined public sphere.

Summary:
"The Hypospace of Japanese architecture" pushes past clichés of an exotic Japan to confront the modernity of an island nation whose habit of importing foreign ideas is less about assimilation than transformation, less a process of indigenization than one of cultural invention. The realization that buildings are dynamic events—phenomena of space-in-time, not inert objects(...)

Summary:
"The Hypospace of Japanese architecture" pushes past clichés of an exotic Japan to confront the modernity of an island nation whose habit of importing foreign ideas is less about assimilation than transformation, less a process of indigenization than one of cultural invention. The realization that buildings are dynamic events—phenomena of space-in-time, not inert objects outside time—continues to inform Japanese architecture and suggests how we can rethink the history, theory, and practice of architecture more generally.

Summary:
Over the course of two years Van Severen travelled to Haute-Ariege several times during spring and summer and expanded her territory to the Spanish part of the Pyrenees, to Germany and more. "LAND : on the brink of some formidably complex matter" focuses on the transformation and fragmentation of the landscape. A human intervention, either subtle or defining, characterizes the images. We as humans destroy and construct, we shape the world irreversibly. LAND is a brief reminder of this.
