Summary:
Défendre une architecture du bien commun, signifie interroger le bâtiment mais aussi les conditions de son édification, les pratiques spatiales, l’usage social, l’attachement au lieu. En s’appuyant sur des exemples oasiens au Maroc, l’ouvrage développe une réflexion critique qui s’attache à corriger une certaine idée de la modernité afin de définir les conditions d’une nouvelle régulation de la production architecturale dans un contexte de forte contrainte environnementale. Il s’agit donc de dépasser l’esthétique de l’héritage et interroger plutôt son capital de résilience. C’est cette dynamique constante de l’adaptation qui est en souffrance aujourd’hui et qu’il faut réactiver pour sortir du tout-béton destructeur des potentiels environnementaux et sociétaux.

Summary:
Over the last decade, the look of the Estonian capital has been radically transformed. Part of this change is due to the emergence of new urban areas and a complete shift in perspective on historic neighbourhoods. Rather than focusing only on new buildings or competitively rating their aesthetic worth, this architecture guide selects works based on sustainability and(...)

Summary:
Over the last decade, the look of the Estonian capital has been radically transformed. Part of this change is due to the emergence of new urban areas and a complete shift in perspective on historic neighbourhoods. Rather than focusing only on new buildings or competitively rating their aesthetic worth, this architecture guide selects works based on sustainability and technological modernism. Attention is paid to new buildings that adapt to the historical and environmental context, while typical and representative buildings are also pointed out in a broad cross-section of Estonian architectural culture. For this reason, examples of Stalinist and later Soviet architecture also appear.

Summary:
The collective trauma of the pandemic has become an excuse for global capital to accelerate the total commodification of everyday life. Everything is for sale. There is more merchandise than love, more sponsored content than truth. No society in human history has demanded so many people be such active participants in producing the contemporary.

The collective trauma of the pandemic has become an excuse for global capital to accelerate the total commodification of everyday life. Everything is for sale. There is more merchandise than love, more sponsored content than truth. No society in human history has demanded so many people be such active participants in producing the contemporary. No contemporary has ever been so aggressively monetised. As a coping mechanism, many amongst us have decided to check out from reality altogether; preferring to inhabit tailor-made fantasies and simulations. But only children believe that closing their eyes renders them invisible to monsters. When the monsters are real, closing our eyes rather increases the danger.

Les États doivent à tout prix se désendetter s’ils veulent rassurer les marchés et retrouver le chemin de la prospérité. Le diagnostic de Maurizio Lazzarato est tout autre : la dette, dans le système capitaliste, n’est pas d’abord une affaire comptable, une relation économique, mais un rapport politique d’assujettissement et d’asservissement. Elle devient infinie, inexpiable, impayable, et sert à discipliner les populations, à imposer des réformes structurelles, à justifier des tours de vis autoritaires, voire à suspendre la démocratie au profit de « gouvernements techniques » subordonnés aux intérêts du capital.

Today, with no land left unmapped, and with processes of urbanization central to political economic struggles, Scapegoat is exiled within the reality of global capital. The journal examines the relationship between capitalism and the built environment, confronting the coercive and violent organization of space, the exploitation of labour and resources, and the unequal distribution of environmental risks and benefits. Throughout our investigation of design and its promises, we return to the politics of making as a politics to be constructed.
