Summary:
Qui s'en souvient, aujourd'hui? Et pourtant! Montréal, de 1844 à 1849, fut bel et bien la capitale du Canada, ou, plus justement, de la « province du Canada », ainsi qu'en avait décidé le gouvernement britannique pour sa colonie.

Summary:
Qui s'en souvient, aujourd'hui? Et pourtant! Montréal, de 1844 à 1849, fut bel et bien la capitale du Canada, ou, plus justement, de la « province du Canada », ainsi qu'en avait décidé le gouvernement britannique pour sa colonie. Le Parlement siège dans un imposant bâtiment de pierre grise, érigé en 1834 au-dessus d'une petite rivière canalisée, puis réaménagé?: l'ancien marché Sainte-Anne. À l'ambiance d'un marché public, avec ses étals de viande, de poisson et de volaille, succèdent le grincement des plumes des fonctionnaires sur le papier et, juste au-dessus, les débats parfois houleux des députés de l'Assemblée législative ou des membres du Conseil législatif. Mais, le soir du 25 avril 1849, des émeutiers incendient l'édifice… Ces vies successives d'une partie de l'actuelle place D'Youville, dans le Vieux-Montréal, sont restées enfouies dans le sol jusqu'à ce que des fouilles archéologiques les ramènent à la mémoire. Revivez un pan méconnu de l'histoire de Montréal, du Québec et du Canada dans le récit surprenant, mouvementé, inédit, auquel vous convie cet ouvrage collectif que signent, sur l'invitation de Pointe-à-Callière, des historiens et des archéologues passionnés.

Summary:
In the age of the Anthropocene, in which humanity acts on cycles and systems with all its power and capital, architecture and energy together mean more than operational or embodied energy, active and passive solutions. In the face of the climate crisis, beyond the phase-out of fossil fuels, architecture has a mediating role; it is about socio-cultural rethinking.(...)

Summary:
In the age of the Anthropocene, in which humanity acts on cycles and systems with all its power and capital, architecture and energy together mean more than operational or embodied energy, active and passive solutions. In the face of the climate crisis, beyond the phase-out of fossil fuels, architecture has a mediating role; it is about socio-cultural rethinking. Disquietude addresses the entanglement between architecture and energy in the 20th century, using Portugal as an example. Featuring different local Portuguese voices, the publication identifies the potential for a transition that could be local, sustainable, diverse, and just and be meaningful also in an international perspective.

Summary:
L’annonce de l’invention de la photographie, en 1839, est un événement capital pour le XIXe siècle occidental. Elle plonge la société au cœur d’une ère nouvelle pour l’art, dans laquelle une image mécanique – le daguerréotype – met en crise, pour ne pas dire ruine instantanément tout un pan de la représentation fondé sur l’imitation des formes du visible et la figuration.(...)

Elle plonge la société au cœur d’une ère nouvelle pour l’art, dans laquelle une image mécanique – le daguerréotype – met en crise, pour ne pas dire ruine instantanément tout un pan de la représentation fondé sur l’imitation des formes du visible et la figuration. Quels sont les effets de cette annonce sur les acteurs de l’époque ? Quels en sont les conséquences dans le champ de l’art contemporain d’alors ? Critiques et écrivains polémiquent, peintres et sculpteurs sont mêlés aux débats - à partir de 1839, on assiste à deux décennies d’affrontements...

Summary:
Rome, the"Eternal City", is a unique palimpsest dating back to Antiquity. However, beyond the historic center built over millennia on the famous seven hills - another Rome exists, one of large and often stunning modern neighborhoods, housing estates, schools, and public buildings. When Rome became Italy's capital in 1871, the population increased extensively and the city exceeded its boundaries since Roman times, the Aurelian Walls. This extraordinary transformation laid the foundation for many new quarters built to accommodate civil servants and rural migrants, drawing on vernacular and ancient Roman traditions and blending past and present. This book looks at Rome's evolution and architecture from the 19th century onwards.

Summary:
This book names and wrestles with design and institutional design education’s pseudo-neutral relationship with colonial capitalist world orders and what it means to teach and design today. It slowly weaves together ideas on designing as a mechanism of maintenance and teaching against bureaucratic inertia. How does design give form to social fictions? How does design and the professionalization of design schooling maintain the priorities of nations and capital? Engaging in pedagogical expressions of rage, generosity, forgiveness, slowness, and chaos; contributions of lecture, essay and interview reflect on the weight of being, the possibilities and sometimes impossibilities towards un-doing and un-maintaining the enduring legacies of colonial powers.
