"Abstract" is the yearly publication of work and research from the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation. Produced through the Office of the Dean Amale Andraos, the archive of student work contains documentation of exceptional projects, selected by faculty at the conclusion of each semester. The 2017 edition includes the applied research of the school's laboratories and projects from design studios taught by Eric Bunge and Mimi Hoang, Kersten Geers, Juan Herreros, Steven Holl, Andres Jaque, Momoyo Kaijima and Yoshiharu Tsukumoto, and Laura Kurgan, Jing Liu, LOT-EK, Reinhold Martin, Umberto Napolitano, Kate Orff, Jorge Otero-Pailos, Rural Urban Framework, Hilary Sample, Bernard Tschumi, and Enrique Walker and many others. This encyclopedic volume is conceived as both an organizational model for the school and a testament to the global distribution of the work included within.

Summary:
This book is the outgrowth of the Fourth National Forum on Historic Preservation Practice, held at Goucher College in Towson, Maaryland, in March 2004. The papers presented at the conference were chosen from a large number of abstracts sent in response to a widely distributed call. Preservation has traditionally focused on saving prominent buildings of historical or architectural significance. Preserving cultural landscapes-the combined fabric of the natural and man-made environments-is a relatively new and often misunderstood idea among preservationists, but it is of increasing importance. The essays collected in this volume-case studies that include the Little Tokyo neighborhood in Los Angeles, the Cross Bronx Expressway, and a rural island in Puget Sound-underscore how this approach can be fruitfully applied. Together, they make clear that a cultural landscape perspective can be an essential underpinning for all historic preservation projects.

Summary:
Over the course of eight days in December 2021, Danny Fox and Kingsley Ifill travelled across the length of the British Isles and back again. Setting off from near Dover, Kent, and making their way up the east coast as far as the Isle of Skye, Scotland, to then return by way of the West Midlands, Wales and many others locations on route. With no predetermined course, their journey was one of intuition and self-led discovery, encountering and documenting the reality of the British landscape unfurling ahead of them. Composed of a series of fifty collaborative works on paper which bring together photography by Ifill and paintings by Fox, ''Holy island'' is a visual travelogue of their time spent together: an exploration into the cross-section of rural and urban fabric that makes up Britain today.

Summary:
A partir de 1945, le Mouvement moderne international prend son envol en Europe, aux Etats-Unis sous l'impulsion des exilés du Bauhaus, en Amérique Latine puis aux Indes et au Japon. A Lyon comme ailleurs, le Mouvement moderne international naît de la croissance urbaine, de la révolution industrielle, du passage du rural à l'urbain et de la planification centralisée. Des expériences de Bron-Parilly puis de La Duchère naissent l'essentiel des architectes, dont les œuvres constituent l'apport spécifique de l'architecture lyonnaise au Mouvement moderne international : René Gagès, François-Régis Cottin, Franck Grimal, Pierre Tourret, Pierre Genton, Jean Zumbrunnen, Michel Marin. Se référant explicitement à ce mouvement, refusant tout localisme mais apportant une spécificité liée au génie de ces lieux, leur production architecturale eut, de 1945 à 1968, un impact bien au-delà de ses frontières, de Berlin à Alger.

Summary:
An ironic take on the Case Study House Program--initiated in 1945 by Arts and Architecture magazine in an effort to develop low-priced single-family homes --German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski's Case Study Homes was shot at the Baseco compound, a squatter camp near the Port of Manila, which is home to an estimated 70,000 people. As Bialobrzeski was considering the series--startling images of provisional structures fashioned from slats, cardboard, corrugated metal and other cast-off materials and refuse--Lehman Brothers Bank collapsed and the media declared a global economic crisis. These recent events lend resonance to Bialobrzeski's images, which recall the photographs of impoverished rural Americans commissioned by the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s. Conceived as a sketchbook for a larger project, the images evidence the human will to survive and a profound resourcefulness.

Summary:
Robert Adams began by photographing suburban landscapes along the edge of the Rocky Mountains. His goal was to record the erasure of the American wilderness, while attempting to affirm what survives of it. For Adams, photography at this juncture in history presents a melancholy vocation: "It seems to me that we are now compelled to recognize that we have no place to go but where we've been," he judges. "We've got to go look at what we've done, which is oftentimes pretty awful, and see if we can't make of this place a civilized home." In Gone?, his most personal work to date, Adams lives out the implications of these words. In the 1980s, he revisited semi-rural areas he had known as a boy-landscapes that were no longer pristine, but which still retained their own particular qualities of light.

Summary:
Au cours du XIXe siècle, l'industrialisation, l'exode rural, la généralisation des moyens de transport mécaniques métamorphosent la ville. Une discipline nouvelle, la " science de la ville " ou urbanisme, accompagne ce processus. Ce livre présente vingt-six faiseurs de villes, urbanistes, architectes, aménageurs ou rêveurs qui ont formulé les problèmes, proposé des modèles, élaboré des plans, construit des cités, planté des parcs et des jardins. Ces monographies, publiées dans la revue Urbanisme sous la direction de Thierry Paquot, ont été écrites par vingt chercheurs, enseignants et journalistes, tous spécialistes reconnus de la ville. Elles couvrent un siècle d'histoire, de Haussmann à Aalto, et offrent des jalons pour une histoire globale de cet objet flou - la ville, l'urbain - qui change sans cesse, évolue de façon imprévue, se transforme sans avertir, au point de se fondre aujourd'hui en un " urbain généralisé ".

Summary:
À l'extrême pointe de l'Europe, la Bretagne doit composer avec deux particularités majeures : un environnement très riche mais fragile et un territoire enclavé qui ne peut compter que sur ses propres forces. Face à cette double contrainte, elle fait preuve ces dernières années d'une inventivité étonnante, tirant le meilleur parti de ses ressources naturelles – la mer, le soleil, le vent – pour se placer parmi les régions françaises les plus innovantes. C'est ici que le tout premier prototype d'hydrolienne de l'hexagone, destinée à puiser l'énergie de la houle et de l'océan, a été mis au point. C’est ici aussi qu'une poignée de paysans ont insufflé une nouvelle vitalité au monde rural en se rassemblant pour produire des énergies propres. Autant d'initiatives et d'aventures technologiques, écologiques, environnementales, mais avant tout humaines, qui témoignent d'une volonté farouche de vivre, produire, consommer, travailler, partager, autrement.

Summary:
The Bitter Years was the title of a seminal exhibition held in 1962 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, curated by Edward Steichen, and 2012 marks its fiftieth anniversary. The show featured 209 images by photographers who worked under the aegis of the U.S. Farm Security Administration (FSA) in 1935–41, as part of Roosevelt’s New Deal. The FSA, set up to combat rural poverty during the Great Depression, included an ambitious photography project that launched many photographic careers, most notably those of Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange. The exhibition featured their work as well as that of ten other FSA photographers, including Ben Shahn, Carl Mydans and Arthur Rothstein. Their images are among the most remarkable in documentary photography--testimonies of a people in crisis, hit by the full force of economic turmoil and the effects of drought and dust storms.
