Summary:
Première édition, premier numéros de la collection Carnets d'architectes, bibliographie "Monsieur Fuller n'est heureusement pas architecte. Il n'est heureusement pas non plus ingénieur, mais il a commencé à philosopher sur le logement, sur la machine idéale adaptée à l'habitation, sans les apriorismes formels ni architecturaux du passé." Voilà la façon dont Harvey W. Corbett président de Architectural League de New York, présente R. Buckminster Fuller ses collègues, l'été 1929. Née comme produit dérivé des icônes de la technologie et de la mobilité, la maison que Buckminster Fuller dévoile ce jour-là cache, un projet d'habitat entendu dans le sens le plus large. Au fil des années, de son atelier d'inventeur nomade, sortiront des prototypes des véhicules, des toilettes portables, du mobilier, des mappemondes et ses célèbres coupoles géodésiques qui lui vaudront sa réputation internationale. Inspiré de la logique d'un album de photos, ce livre articule le récit biographique sur l'œuvre de R. Buckminster Fuller avec quelques uns de ses projets-phare qui ouvrent - par leur forme ou par leur technologie des nouvelles pistes à la réflexion architecturale.

Summary:
Risography, named after the Japanese firm Riso, is a stencil printing process based on screen printing techniques that was developed in the transition phase from mechanical to digital printing. Although the printer looks like a copying machine, the colors are transferred onto the paper without the use of heat or chemicals, saving energy and making the process ecologically friendly. Graphic artists and designers from around the world have now rediscovered the risograph for themselves – along with other machines for similar, almost forgotten techniques such as mimeography – and sparked an unexpected renaissance of analog printing. A comprehensive introduction that addresses past, present and future is followed by an essay about the key pioneers in the contemporary risography scene. In the chapter "Risoworld" notable risography-oriented publishers, printers and design studios from around the world are presented. At the heart of the book are fabulous, hugely diverse examples such as postcards, magazines, posters, flyers and experimental printed products, all inspired by the force of their color, their unique textures and, above all, the pefectly imperfect authenticity of risography.

Summary:
The contributors announce the demise of the city of broad shoulders and the transformation of its physical, social, cultural, and economic institutions into a new Chicago. In this book, twenty scholars, journalists, and activists, relying on data from the 2000 census and many years of direct experience with the city, identify five converging forces in American urbanization which are reshaping this storied metropolis. The twenty-six essays included here analyze Chicago by way of globalization and its impact on the contemporary city; economic restructuring; the evolution of machine-style politics into managerial politics; physical transformations of the central city and its suburbs; and race relations in a multicultural era. In elaborating on the effects of these broad forces, contributors detail the role of eight significant racial, ethnic, and immigrant communities in shaping the character of the new Chicago and present ten case studies of innovative governmental, grassroots, and civic action. Edited by John P. Koval, Larry Bennett, Michael I. J. Bennett, Fassil Demissie, Roberta Garner and Kiljoong Kim.

Summary:
Un espace intime fait de matériaux chauds et de surfaces murales colorées, couvert par des voûtes en brique et illuminé par des baies vitrées judicieusement placées, une belle cheminée entourée de niches pour accueillir des objets d'art et d'artisanat, amoureusement choisis - ce n'est pas l'image habituelle de la machine à habiter. L'idée reçue d'un Le Corbusier froid, austère et puritain doit être révisée lorsque l'on a visité et observé les maisons que l'architecte a bâties pour la famille Jaoul, à Neuilly, à quelques pas de la place de l'Étoile. L'historiographie corbuséenne a bien noté la richesse formelle du Le Corbusier de l'après-guerre - celui de la chapelle de Ronchamp, du couvent de la Tourette, ou encore des grands édifices projetés pour Chandigarh - mais a peu mentionné les Maisons Jaoul qui peuvent pourtant être célébrées comme un des chefs-d'œuvre de la maturité corbuséenne. Cette monographie relate l'histoire de ce projet auquel Le Corbusier a consacré quatre ans de travail intensif de 1951 à 1955, en amicale collaboration avec la famille Jaoul. Leurs témoignages rassemblés dans cet ouvrage, ainsi que les documents d'archives et les photographies du chantier, donnent un éclairage original à l'histoire des maisons.

Summary:
The open terrain of new media is closing fast. Market concentration, legal consolidation and tightening governmental control have effectively ended the myth of the free and open networks. In Delusive Spaces, Eric Kluitenberg takes a critical position that retains a utopian potential for emerging media cultures. The book investigates the archeology of media and machine, mapping the different methods and metaphors that speak about technology. Returning to the present, Kluitenberg discusses the cultural use of new media in an age of post-governmental politics. Delusive Spaces concludes with the impossibility of representation. Going beyond the obvious delusions of the 'new' and the 'free', Kluitenberg theorizes artistic practices and European cultural policies, demonstrating a provocative engagement with the utopian dimension of technology. Eric Kluitenberg is a Dutch media theorist, writer and organizer. Since the late 1980s, he has been involved in numerous international projects in the field of electronic art, media culture, and information politics. Kluitenberg heads the media program at De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics in Amsterdam. He is the editor of the Book of Imaginary Media (NAi Publishers, 2006) and the theme issue Hybrid Space of Open, journal on art and the public domain (2007).

Summary:
He was the most iconoclastic of architects, and at the height of his career his output of writings about architecture was as prolific and visionary as his architecture itself. Frank Lloyd Wright pioneered a bold new kind of architecture, one in which the spirit of modern man truly "lived in his buildings." "The Essential Frank Lloyd Wright" is a one-volume compendium of Wright's most critically important - and personally revealing - writings on every conceivable aspect of his craft. Wright was perhaps the most influential and inspired architect of the twentieth century, and this is the only book that gathers all of his most significant essays, lectures, and articles on architecture. Bruce Pfeiffer includes each piece in its entirety to present the architect's writings as he originally intended them. Beginning early in Wright's career with "The Art and Craft of the Machine" in 1901, the book follows major themes through "The Disappearing City", "The Natural House", and many other writings, and ends with "A Testament" in 1957, published two years before his death. This volume is illustrated with original drawings and photographs, and is complemented by Pfeiffer's general introduction, which provides history and context.

Summary:
In this history of aural culture in early-twentieth-century America, Emily Thompson charts dramatic transformations in what people heard and how they listened. What they heard was a new kind of sound that was the product of modern technology. They listened as newly critical consumers of aural commodities. By examining the technologies that produced this sound, as well as the culture that enthusiastically consumed it, Thompson recovers a lost dimension of the Machine Age and deepens our understanding of the experience of change that characterized the era. Reverberation equations, sound meters, microphones, and acoustical tiles were deployed in places as varied as Boston’s Symphony Hall, New York’s office skyscrapers, and the soundstages of Hollywood. The control provided by these technologies, however, was applied in ways that denied the particularity of place, and the diverse spaces of modern America began to sound alike as a universal new sound predominated. Although this sound--clear, direct, efficient, and nonreverberant—-had little to say about the physical spaces in which it was produced, it speaks volumes about the culture that created it. By listening to it, Thompson constructs a compelling new account of the experience of modernity in America.

Summary:
Les notions de "deep learning", de "machine learning" définissent aujourd'hui l'intelligence artificielle comme un nouveau paradigme établi aussi bien dans le domaine industriel, économique, militaire ou sociopolitique, que dans nos vies quotidiennes au travers d'innombrables applications, la reconnaissance faciale en étant la plus démonstrative. Il semblait donc primordial de redéfinir les sources historiques d'un développement continu des recherches sur la simulation de l'intelligence humaine depuis l'après-guerre et d'une interaction permanente avec les domaines de la recherche et de la création. C'est l'objet de l'exposition du Centre Pompidou et de cet ouvrage qui l'accompagne. Fruit d'une investigation progressive de la neurophysiologie, mais aussi de la cybernétique, le réseau neuronal s'est imposé comme l'archétype d'une définition de l'intelligence. La création de réseaux de neurones artificiels, base des simulations informatiques et d'intelligences artificielles défiant l'humain, jusqu'au projet de modélisation d'un cerveau artificiel, aura imposé des modèles algorithmiques souvent conçus comme des dispositifs de normalisation. Artistes, architectes, ingénieurs ou scientifiques s'emparent aujourd'hui de ces modèles pour introduire des variations, des mutations, qui enrichissent l'innovation et la prospective et confortent une distance critique et morale face à leurs usages économiques et politiques.
