Summary:
"The Unknown City" takes its place in the emerging architectural literature that looks beyond design process and buildings to discover new ways of looking at the urban experience. A multistranded contemplation of the notion of "knowing a place," it is about both the existence and the possibilities of architecture and the city. An important inspiration for the book is the work of Henri Lefebvre, in particular his ideas on space as a historical production. Many of the essays also draw on the social critique and tactics of the Situationist movement. The international gathering of contributors includes art, architectural, and urban historians and theorists; urban geographers; architects, artists, and filmmakers; and literary and cultural theorists. The essays range from abstract considerations of spatial production and representation to such concrete examples of urban domination as video surveillance and Regency London as the site of male pleasure. Although many of the essays are driven by social, cultural, and urban theory, they also tell real stories about real places. Each piece is in some way a critique of capitalism and a thought experiment about how designers and city dwellers working together can shape the cities of tomorrow.

"Nous proposons des tactiques urbaines pour accompagner les micro-processus locaux dans les milieux urbains où les décisions sont prises au nom d'intérêts économiques privés et de mécanismes politiques centralisés inadaptés aux mobilités territoriales actuelles: globales, informelles, multiculturelles… Nous explorons la réappropriation des espaces urbains délaissés et la création de nouvelles formes d'urbanité par des aménagements réversibles, des pratiques du quotidien, par l'implication des habitants et des usagers en tant que porteurs de différents savoirs faire. Plus accessibles, ces espaces constituent un potentiel d'expérimentation urbaine et d'exploration à rebours de l'accroissement de la densité et du contrôle. Notre démarche consiste à critiquer pour libérer le désir d'agir mais aussi à rassembler des compétences partagées et des dynamiques collaboratives pour aller plus loin. En valorisant la position d'habitant et d'usager comme condition politique nous développons ensemble des outils d'appropriation symbolique des espaces de proximité et nous renforçons le pouvoir de décision et d'action des acteurs de terrain dans la ville. Ces outils incluent des réseaux trans-locaux, processus catalyseurs, architectures nomades, espaces autogérés, plates-formes de production culturelle…" Atelier d'Architecture Autogérée

The era of moving to the suburbs is coming to an end. Instead, a growing movement of city dwellers are looking for grand architectural solutions in the smallest of spaces. Slender, slim, and tall structures are soaring in the limited land available, offering innovative solutions to a world with ever-growing urbanization. 'Vertical Living' is an introduction to the architecture and interior masterminds using skillful, clever design to conquer compact living wherever there is space. As we continue to expect more of our flats and houses, unexpected approaches are necessary for the future of our urban spaces.

The third volume in a four-part series on ALICE's teachings, ''Beyond the Object: The Imagination of Space'' follows up on ''The House 1 Catalogue'' and ''The Invention of Space'', proposing an alternative cultural history of architecture derived from the notion of spatial design rather than technical engineering and construction. Among the topics discussed are the common and scientific understandings of space and how they can be applied to contemporary architectural practice. Using Zurich as an exemplar of urban planning and development, the new volume combines fact with fiction to broaden the view upon future scenarios.
