Summary:
After a meteoric rise, China today is one of the world’s most powerful nations. Just a century ago, it was a crumbling empire with literacy reserved for the elite few, as the world underwent a massive technological transformation that threatened to leave them behind.

Summary:
After a meteoric rise, China today is one of the world’s most powerful nations. Just a century ago, it was a crumbling empire with literacy reserved for the elite few, as the world underwent a massive technological transformation that threatened to leave them behind. In Kingdom of Characters, Jing Tsu argues that China’s most daunting challenge was a linguistic one: the century-long fight to make the formidable Chinese language accessible to the modern world of global trade and digital technology. 'Kingdom of characters' follows the bold innovators who reinvented the Chinese language, among them an exiled reformer who risked a death sentence to advocate for Mandarin as a national language, a Chinese-Muslim poet who laid the groundwork for Chairman Mao’s phonetic writing system, and a computer engineer who devised input codes for Chinese characters on the lid of a teacup from the floor of a jail cell. Without their advances, China might never have become the dominating force we know today.

Summary:
Ce livre jette un regard rétrospectif sur l’œuvre de Kathy Kennedy, qui depuis plus de trois décennies propose une approche singulière de l’art sonore. Ses créations puisent dans la musique classique aussi bien que dans le domaine des arts visuels. Pour l’essentiel, les créations de Kennedy incarnent des manières alternatives d’embrasser la pratique du chant. Au fil des années l’artiste a étudié, exploré et repoussé les limites de l’art vocal en créant des œuvres axées sur le chant comme moyen de découverte et de transformation de soi, aussi bien qu’outil social pouvant contribuer au renforcement communautaire. Rejetant la posture traditionnelle du chanteur ou de la chanteuse, les compositions de Kennedy se fondent sur l’inclusion, l’exploration de l’identité personnelle dans l’espace public et la conscience environnementale. Puisqu’il est beaucoup question d’audition dans ce livre, on y trouve de nombreux liens menant à des documents audiovisuels témoignant des œuvres mentionnées. De plus, trois spécialistes ont écrit sur des pièces phares du répertoire de l’artiste.

Summary:
''Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory'' reflects on the first decade of the international Concéntrico festival and the one hundred and fifty projects and designs commissioned for it. The festival’s aim is to serve as a laboratory searching for creative ways of using architecture and design to strengthen communities and to support the dialogue between designers and citizens. The book offers a unique meditation on the transformation of cities and the relevance of architecture and design in the twenty-first century. It introduces meaningful ways to address and engage with pressing urban issues—from identity and heritage to temporariness, collectivity, ecology, play, and domesticity—through the lens of selected Concéntrico commissions since 2015. Through lavishly illustrated essays, it features projects by eighty artists, architects, and designers from twenty countries. They are prefaced and held together by a conversation between the editors Javier Peña Ibáñez and Nick Axel, who speak about the festival’s context, evolution, and the knowledge it has produced since 2014.

Summary:
À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les géants de la pétrochimie annoncent l'avènement de la « chimie de l'espoir » : le plastique. Il offrirait une vie meilleure. Aujourd'hui, l'image d'un matériau magique, neutre et inaltérable ainsi que le mythe du recyclage persistent obstinément. Ainsi, le plastique s'invite-t-il toujours plus dans nos quotidiens, à l'échelle industrielle et jusqu'au creux de notre intimité. Or il se compose d'additifs dont un quart sont toxiques, ne cesse de se fragmenter en micro-et nanoparticules - s'infiltrant dans l'air, l'eau, le sol et nos corps - et accélère le dérèglement climatique - puisqu'il repose sur l'extraction et la transformation d'énergies fossiles. Alors que sa production annuelle pourrait atteindre un milliard de tonnes d'ici 2050, cette bombe à retardement ébranle déjà les écosystèmes, le climat et notre santé. Pour ralentir cette croissance effrénée, des voies d'action individuelles et collectives existent. Elles sont mises en lumière ici par Capucine Dupuy.

Summary:
From fashion sketches of smartly dressed Shanghai dandies in the 1920s, to multipanel drawings of refugee urbanites during the war against Japan, to panoramic pictures of anti-American propaganda rallies in the early 1950s, the polymorphic cartoon-style art known as manhua helped define China's modern experience. ''Manhua Modernity'' offers a richly illustrated, deeply contextualized analysis of these illustrations across the lively pages of popular pictorial magazines that entertained, informed, and mobilized a nation through a half century of political and cultural transformation. In this compelling media history, John Crespi argues that manhua must be understood in the context of the pictorial magazines that hosted them, and in turn these magazines must be seen as important mediators of the modern urban experience. Even as times changed—from interwar-era consumerism to war-time mobilization to Mao-style propaganda—the art form adapted to stay on the cutting edge of both politics and style.

Summary:
Helin & Co, one of Northern Europe's leading architectural firms, has been a key player in Helsinki's transformation into a modern metropolitan region for over 20 years. They understand architecture as work for the future combining the human scale (‘Heart’) with a constant engagement with the urban space on the waterfront (‘Horizon’). The firm works in a context-sensitive and resource-efficient manner. The focus is on combining functionality, urban vibrancy and (archi-)tectonic precision. Three key projects also highlight this approach in the exhibition: Kamppi Centre – a networked urban quarter in the heart of Helsinki with mobility hubs, cultural and residential areas; Kalasatama Centre – a new urban centre at the former harbour that combines density and sea views; Sello District Centre in Espoo – a multifunctional centrepiece with a library, music school and concert hall. Together, they form places that interweave living, working and culture in Helsinki into an open, maritime urban experience.

Summary:
This edition of Perspecta, the oldest and most distinguished student-edited architectural journal in America, investigates the transformation of capital cities in the era of globalization. This redevelopment, renewal, and recycling of the urban landscape--termed by the editors as "Re_Urbanism"--takes place as capital cities try both to cater to an influx of global capital and to reassert their roles as symbols of national sovereignty. Re_Urbanism investigates this process from an architectural perspective. The contributors explore the various ways capital cities struggle to assert their vitality and continuing relevance, examining capitals that compete internally with their own global counterparts (Abu Dhabi vs. Dubai), capitals that must be rebuilt after periods of destruction (Belgrade and Baghdad), and capital cities that are responding to hyperbolic development (Beijing, New Delhi, Kuwait City). Some cities are examined for their impact on border politics (Washington D.C.) while others reveal mythologies parallel to their modernist origins (Brasilia).

Si autrefois la ville était un espace collectif où l'aspiration individuelle était possible, elle est aujourd’hui source d’isolement et de solitude. Partant de ce constat évident et largement médiatisé (qui n’a pas entendu parler de la « crise des banlieues » ?), François Leclercq nous livre un véritable manifeste pour la ville. Cette ville qu’il considère comme une entité vivante, autonome et adaptée aux incessantes fluctuations et évolutions contemporaines. Il imagine – à travers cinq récits racontant des opportunités de transformation – une ville qui s'adapte à la réalité d'un monde flou, débarrassée des certitudes des futurismes. Il conçoit les modalités d'une renaissance de la ville de tous et pour tous. Des histoires d'étudiantes maltraitées, d'amour, de voiture et d'échangeur, de maisons de rêve et de villes faciles, sont le support d'une réflexion originale sur la crise urbaine et les réponses à apporter. Les « auteurs-acteurs » de la ville, politiques et professionnels, n'ont plus qu'à saisir et appliquer les solutions proposées, « sans attendre pour ça que le monde aille bien ».

Summary:
The legacy of radio and the arts has spawned many forms of radical culture over the years, from early Modernist notions of the "Wireless imagination" and its subsequent vernacular tongues to Acoustic Ecology's call for "Radical radio". This contemporary history of radical radio addresses the transformation of this broadcast medium by recent breakthroughs in digital technology - from digital streaming to web radio and podcasting - paying special attention to the "transmission arts" in culture and politics. It includes creative and critical essays by historians, media theorists, radio producers and activists, coupled with artistic and audio projects by current avant-gardists Kabir Carter, Brandon LaBelle, James Sey and others. While "Modern" radio stitched together an electronic network by expanding outward, today's radio may fulfill Marshall McLuhan's idea of the global "extended nervous system" by networking individual lives on more of a cellular level. According to the authors, radio is no longer out there, in the ether, but inside us, transmitting intense stratifications of culture. Comes with audio CD

Traitant de l’ambiance, mais plus encore des conditions d’air des architectures de l’ambiance, l’auteur met en lumière une évolution autant architecturale que politique. Penser (à) l’air, cet invisible par nature, véhicule de notre inconscient climatique, c’est repenser notre rapport à la production et au projet. Le projet, plutôt que projection, deviendrait processus, reflétant une transformation profonde des pratiques architecturales, alors que l’émergence de la notion d’espace laisserait place, et c’est la thèse de l’auteur, à un échec de l’espace. À travers l’examen critique de projets de Le Corbusier (Armée du Salut) et de Robain & Guieysse (Mie de Pain) à Paris, de Christophe Amsler et de Philippe Rahm, de SANAA (EPFL Learning Center, Lausanne) et de Lacaton & Vassal (École d’Architecture, Nantes), Emmanuel Doutriaux affronte le thème de l’ambiance – concept cardinal de notre contemporain – partagé entre phénoménologie, sociologie de l’action située et philosophie pragmatiste.
