Summary:
What does it mean to design experiences? Traditional design practices invite us to design things, and to use those things to solve problems. But experience is not a problem; it is life. Experience designers engage with unpredictability and the unknown, partnering with their audiences to generate possibility and relationality. Experience designers create worlds, craft(...)

Summary:
What does it mean to design experiences? Traditional design practices invite us to design things, and to use those things to solve problems. But experience is not a problem; it is life. Experience designers engage with unpredictability and the unknown, partnering with their audiences to generate possibility and relationality. Experience designers create worlds, craft narratives that leave the page and enter people’s lives, and structure transformation. In this book, Burickson lays out ten basic principles for this emerging practice. "Experience design: a participatory manifesto" invites the reader to stop making things and, instead, to craft the minutes and hours of human life. Rigorous and philosophical, the book guides the reader through the processes of empathic research; constructing worlds not just for fantasy fiction but in schools, communities, homes; and mastering the tools necessary to work coherently across disciplines to create new experiences. Whether you are a maker of immersive theater, an architect, a graphic designer, a community organizer, or just someone hoping to give a better gift, this book offers a vision of creating that is both new and as old as civilization.

Summary:
In ''The sovereign self', Grant H. Kester examines the evolving discourse of aesthetic autonomy from its origins in the Enlightenment through avant-garde projects and movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kester traces the idea of aesthetic autonomy-the sense that art should be autonomous from social forces while retaining the ability to reflect back critically on society-through Kant, Schiller, Hegel, Marx, and Adorno. Kester critiques the use of aesthetic autonomy as the basis for understanding the nature of art and the shifting relationship between art and revolutionary praxis. He shows that dominant discourses of aesthetic autonomy reproduce the very forms of bourgeois liberalism that autonomy discourse itself claims to challenge. Analyzing avant-garde art and political movements in Russia, India, Latin America, and elsewhere, Kester retheorizes the aesthetic beyond autonomy. Ultimately, Kester demonstrates that the question of aesthetic autonomy has ramifications that extend beyond art to encompass the nature of political transformation and forms of anticolonial resistance that challenge the Eurocentric concept of ''Man,'' upon which the aesthetic itself often depends.

Summary:
In "Fugitive time", Matthew Omelsky theorizes the embodied experience of time in twentieth- and twenty-first-century black artforms from across the world. Through the lens of time, he charts the sensations and coursing thoughts that accompany desires for freedom as they appear in the work of artists as varied as Toni Morrison, Yvonne Vera, Aimé Césaire, and Issa Samb.(...)

Summary:
In "Fugitive time", Matthew Omelsky theorizes the embodied experience of time in twentieth- and twenty-first-century black artforms from across the world. Through the lens of time, he charts the sensations and coursing thoughts that accompany desires for freedom as they appear in the work of artists as varied as Toni Morrison, Yvonne Vera, Aimé Césaire, and Issa Samb. "Fugitive time" names a distinct utopian desire directed at the anticipated moment when the body and mind have been unburdened of the violence that has consumed black life globally for centuries, bringing with it a new form of being. Omelsky shows how fugitive time is not about attaining this transcendent release but is instead about sustaining the idea of it as an ecstatic social gathering. From the desire for ethereal queer worlds in the Black Audio Film Collective's "Twilight City" to Sun Ra's transformation of nineteenth-century scientific racism into an insurgent fugitive aesthetic, Omelsky shows how fugitive time evolves and how it remains a dominant form of imagining freedom in global black cultural expression.

Summary:
La notion de métabolisme place la matérialité de nos modes de vie au cœur des débats scientifiques et médiatiques. En suivant les matières à travers leur «?vie sociale?» (extraction, transformation, consommation et rejet sous forme de déchets), le métabolisme lie les enjeux sociaux et écologiques de la consommation humaine. De plus en plus mobilisée par les universitaires spécialistes des questions environnementales, la notion est également réappropriée par d’autres milieux professionnels (urbanistes, architectes). Cet ouvrage, issu des réflexions du Studio Métabolisme de l’École urbaine de Lyon, vise à offrir un aperçu des réflexions en cours tout en ouvrant le débat vers le grand public. Le livre met en avant les enjeux sociaux, politiques, économiques et culturels de la matérialité des transformations des cycles bio-géochimiques en insistant sur les dimensions politiques et socialement construites des circulations et des transformations de la matière, de la ressource au déchet. Il s’agit de prendre en considération les impacts des prélèvements ou des rejets de nos sociétés et de comprendre comment ces matières s’insèrent dans des dispositifs socio-politiques dédiés (infrastructures, pratiques, normes, etc.).

Designed in accordance with modernist urban planning principles, with a lot of high-rise flats in a park-like setting, the Bijlmer experiment in social engineering was quickly overtaken by reality and the Bijlmer became notorious for its intractable social problems and exceptionally high crime rate. A mammoth, fifteen-year regeneration scheme (1992 - 2009) is set to change all that. Much of the existing high-rise is being replaced by less anonymous neighbourhoods of low-rise. It is here that Theo Baart and his family settled. Since their relocation, Baart has photographed the gradual transformation of an area of the Bijlmer defined by the radius of action of his two school-age children. Baart's interviews with his neighbours, discussions with policymakers and his superb photography provide a fascinating insight into the regeneration process currently taking place in the Bijlmer.

Le dossier intitulé « Actes environnement » rend compte de l’attitude et des réactions des architectes face à la question de l’environnement et du développement durable. Les réflexions et réalisations présentées témoignent d’une attitude prometteuse : prise de conscience et vigilance. L’actualité du numéro porte sur deux lieux à nouvelle vocation de loisirs: le Centre de la mer à Cherbourg (Studio Milou), le Centre de danse Laban à Deptford (Herzog et de Meuron). Dans le domaine de la création, nous analysons l’auto-exposition du designer Philippe Starck au Centre Pompidou et les installations très éclectiques de Nicolas Floc’h à Paris et à Dunkerque. Le paysagiste Gilles Clément s’interroge dans la chronique "Humeur" sur la transformation du paysage en objet à travers le classement patrimonial, la réglementation, ou encore une sorte de mise en conformité muséographique du paysage. La proposition de Massimiliano Fuksas pour le complexe paroissial de Foligno explore les thèmes du passage, de la masse et de sa mise en sustentation. La rubrique Mise en œuvre fait le point sur les utilisations de la tuile cuite : couverture, structure et parement.

Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, this volume begins with Marcel Duchamp’s Tu m’, the artist’s final painting, made in 1918, with its long array of color samples looming across the canvas. This early recognition of color’s commercial nature was fully explored more than three decades later by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter and Alighiero Boetti, who in the 1950s to the 1970s, with a host of others, redefined the parameters of color from a matter of personal expression to one of arbitrary systems and random processes. The repercussions of this transformation continue to be felt into the twenty-first century, in work by artists including Sherrie Levine, Mike Kelley and Damien Hirst, as well as others who explore color in digital technology This volume traces the lineage of the questions provoked by color’s new status, and the variety of answers that have resulted.

The goal of this book is to introduce designers to the many research tools that can be used to inform design as well as to ideas about how and when to deploy them effectively. The chapter authors come from diverse institutions and enterprises, including Stanford University, MIT, Intel, Maxis, Studio Anybody, Sweden?s HUMlab, and Big Blue Dot. Each has something to say about how designers make themselves better at what they do through research, and illustrates it with real world examples--case studies, anecdotes, and images. Topics of this multi-voice conversation include qualitative and quantitative methods, performance ethnography and design improvisation, trend research, cultural diversity, formal and structural research practice, tactical discussions of design research process, and case studies drawn from areas as unique as computer games, museum information systems, and movies. Interspersed throughout the book are one-page "demos," snapshots of the design research experience. Design Research charts the paths from research methods to research findings to design principles to design results and demonstrates the transformation of theory into a richly satisfying and more reliably successful practice.

Ces dernières décennies, un bouleversement majeur s’est accompli à bas bruit : un nouvel avatar du capitalisme financiarisé est né, le secteur de la gestion d’actifs. Bureaux, centres commerciaux, résidences étudiantes et seniors, entrepôts logistiques… Une part croissante de ces lieux du quotidien se trouve désormais entre les mains de propriétaires méconnus qui voient dans l’immobilier un moyen de faire fructifier l’épargne provenant des marchés financiers du monde entier. Ce livre nous entraîne dans les coulisses de la gestion d’actifs immobiliers en France. Il montre comment fonds d’investissement et sociétés foncières cherchent à imposer leurs logiques et critères financiers à l’État, aux élus locaux, aux aménageurs et aux promoteurs immobiliers, et révèle comment ces mastodontes sont parvenus à édifier un véritable empire dans les métropoles. Surtout, il éclaire les effets de cette transformation : à mesure que les gérants d’actifs captent la rente foncière, ce sont les inégalités sociales et spatiales qui se creusent. Autant d’enseignements pour interroger la place de la finance dans le débat sur la transition écologique des villes.

Summary:
Paul Andreu (1938-2018) est une figure majeure de la scène architecturale internationale de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Il a notamment marqué l'architecture des aérogares au cours de sa longue carrière au sein d'Aéroports de Paris, avec l'emblématique aéroport de Roissy 1, puis Roissy 2, mais aussi avec sa production en Asie, au Japon et en Chine, où il fut l'un des premiers Français à s'imposer, que ce soit avec l'aéroport de Kansai, en 1988, ou encore l'opéra de Pékin, inauguré en 2007. Fondée sur une exigence constante de fonctionnalité et de rationalité technique, l'oeuvre de cet architecte et ingénieur est ancrée sur la notion de seuil, de passage et de transformation, qui met en jeu des principes fondamentaux : la terre et le ciel, l'Orient et l'Occident, la pensée et la matière. A travers ses recherches sur l'espace et le temps, la croissance organique, les ombres et les lumières, l'immobilité et le mouvement, Paul Andreu semble poursuivre une recherche essentielle sur la question de l'envol, du corps et de l'esprit, qu'il soit physique, symbolique ou poétique.

Summary:
Paul Andreu (1938-2018) est une figure majeure de la scène architecturale internationale de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Il a notamment marqué l'architecture des aérogares au cours de sa longue carrière au sein d'Aéroports de Paris, avec l'emblématique aéroport de Roissy 1, puis Roissy 2, mais aussi avec sa production en Asie, au Japon et en Chine, où il fut l'un des premiers Français à s'imposer, que ce soit avec l'aéroport de Kansai, en 1988, ou encore l'opéra de Pékin, inauguré en 2007. Fondée sur une exigence constante de fonctionnalité et de rationalité technique, l'oeuvre de cet architecte et ingénieur est ancrée sur la notion de seuil, de passage et de transformation, qui met en jeu des principes fondamentaux : la terre et le ciel, l'Orient et l'Occident, la pensée et la matière. A travers ses recherches sur l'espace et le temps, la croissance organique, les ombres et les lumières, l'immobilité et le mouvement, Paul Andreu semble poursuivre une recherche essentielle sur la question de l'envol, du corps et de l'esprit, qu'il soit physique, symbolique ou poétique.
