Summary:
An encounter with Aaron Siskind inspired American photographer Alan Cohen (born 1943) to abandon his doctoral program in thermodynamics and instead pursue a career in photography under Siskind’s tutelage. For the past two decades Cohen has traveled the world, using the medium of black-and-white photography to record places marked by the political acts or the covert actions of others; places marked by time through the course of natural and often catastrophic occurrences. Crumbling stone walls and other near-invisible demarcations of political boundaries are among the mute witnesses he chooses as his subjects. “I have come to understand that history, in a contemporary image, can be sited,” Cohen writes. “Events can--and do--become geography.” This book tracks the evolution of Cohen’s work over a 40-year career, reflecting the artist’s belief in photography as both a social document and a meditative art.

Depuis plusieurs décennies, nous assistons, en France comme à l’international, à une évolution des pratiques et rhétoriques de l’urbanisme qui encourage de plus en plus la participation des citoyens dans la construction de la ville. Quelles formes prend ce processus ? De quelles façons l’action collective questionne-t-elle le projet urbain ? S’appuyant sur une enquête anthropologique menée dans le nord-est de la métropole parisienne, cet ouvrage propose d’analyser la complexité des positionnements des acteurs en jeu et les formes d’altérité produites par les dispositifs de participation. En restituant un regard de l’intérieur sur la quotidienneté de ces dispositifs et sur les écarts et les conflits qui en découlent, Federica Gatta vise à dépasser les dichotomies entre acteurs collectifs et actions institutionnelles dans le projet urbain, en posant les termes d’un débat nécessaire sur les enjeux politiques et culturels liés au futur de la fabrique de la ville.

Summary:
In 1967, Richard Long walked back and forth along a straight line in the grass in the English countryside, leaving a track that he then photographed in black and white. The resulting work, A Line Made by Walking, was not only the starting point for Long's career as an artist but also a landmark for a new kind of art emerging in Europe and the Americas.

Summary:
In 1967, Richard Long walked back and forth along a straight line in the grass in the English countryside, leaving a track that he then photographed in black and white. The resulting work, A Line Made by Walking, was not only the starting point for Long's career as an artist but also a landmark for a new kind of art emerging in Europe and the Americas. The formal simplicity of Long's artwork suggested a relation to minimalism, but its location outside the gallery context and its suggestion of bodily actions also connected it to a new generation of artists whose work combined the organic, the temporary, the nonmaterial, and the performative to offer a critique of the art system and its language, forms, and values. Although A Line Made by Walking is an instantly recognizable work, this is the first detailed analysis of this foundational piece.

Summary:
A decimated Shiite shrine in Iraq. The smoking World Trade Center site. The scorched cityscape of 1945 Dresden. Among the most indelible scars left by war is the destroyed landscapes, and such architectural devastation damages far more than mere buildings. Robert Bevan argues here that shattered buildings are not merely “collateral damage,” but rather calculated acts of cultural annihilation. From Hitler’s Kristallnacht to the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s statue in the Iraq War, Bevan deftly sifts through military campaigns and their tactics throughout history, and analyzes the cultural impact and catastrophic consequences of architectural destruction. For Bevan, these actions are nothing less than cultural genocide. Ultimately, Bevan forcefully argues for the prosecution of nations that purposely flout established international treaties against destroyed architecture. A passionate and thought-provoking cri de coeur, The Destruction of Memory raises questions about the costs of war that run deeper than blood and money.

A l'heure où le design et la qualité de vie sont souvent associés, être une " ville de design " offre à la fois un puissant levier de communication et un positionnement porteur de croissance économique. Mais qu'est-ce qu'une ville de design ? Et comment le devient-on ? Si Anvers, Glasgow, Lisbonne, Montréal, Saint-Etienne, Stockholm et Times Square New York ont réussi à se positionner comme " nouvelles villes de design ", c'est qu'elles ont élaboré et mis en place des politiques et programmes favorisant la qualité en design sur leur territoire. Construit autour d'études de cas, cet ouvrage analyse les actions et événements à l'origine de l'émergence de ces sept villes en tant que ville de design. Appuyé sur les réflexions de François Barré, Saskia Sassen et John Thackara, il réunit également les points de vue d'élus, de designers réputés, ou appartenant à la relève, et de citoyens engagés.

La dimension du transitoire dans les champs de l'architecture, de l'urbanisme et du design, comme nouvel horizon de pensée et d'action concernant tous les aspects de la vie urbaine, dans sa complexité économique et écologique. On observe actuellement une forte demande en matière de dispositifs transitoires : architectes, artistes, designers sont sollicités pour proposer des solutions d'hébergement temporaires, considérées comme autant d'expédients en réponse à des situations d'urgence. Mais, au-delà de cette conception du transitoire, un certain nombre d'acteurs venant de l'architecture, de l'urbanisme et du design considèrent le transitoire comme une valeur à défendre, un nouvel horizon d'action concernant tous les aspects de la vie urbaine dans sa complexité économique et écologique : non seulement les initiatives pour résoudre le mal-logement, mais aussi le rôle à donner aux fablabs et aux actions en faveur d'une agriculture urbaine, trop souvent cantonnés à des pratiques de loisir.

Summary:
The Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers is an annual competition, series of lectures, exhibition, and publication organized by The Architectural League of New York. For more than thirty years, the League Prize has recognized outstanding and provocative work by up-and-coming North American architects and designers. The 2018 competition theme, Objective, suggested that the topic "implies an action" and that "how we act, what our actions achieve, and how we argue for a design speak to our values as a discipline and as a society." The winners'' work exemplifies the diverse ways young architects and designers are pursuing multiple "objectives," from projects that insightfully address social, economic, and political agendas to material and structural experimentation that inspires innovative design at every scale. Young Architects 20: Objective presents the work of the six winners of the 2018 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers competition.
