Traditional methods of architectural history and theory tend to attribute a city's civic and cultural identity to the dominant culture. Ignored are more marginal cultures without a tradition of public building, often preventing a complete understanding of the city and the forces that shape(...)

Traditional methods of architectural history and theory tend to attribute a city's civic and cultural identity to the dominant culture. Ignored are more marginal cultures without a tradition of public building, often preventing a complete understanding of the city and the forces that shape it. These essays explore the historic and contemporary effects of race upon the development of the built environment, and examine the myths and realities of America's racial landscapes. Its multidisciplinary approach identifies and interprets the black cultural landscape, examining its visual, spatial, and ideological dimensions. Contributors to this collection include Nathaniel Belcher, Felicia Davis, Sheryl Tucker deVasquez, K. Ian Grandison, Bradford Grant, Walter Hood, Lesley Lokko, Mabel O. Wilson, and Amy Weisser.

Un véritable rejet du mouvement moderne a émergé en France durant la décennie 1960. Des architectes et des artistes mènent alors des recherches sur le voile de béton, qui offre une immense liberté d’expression et une souplesse tant formelle que technique. Influencés par Antoni Gaudí ou Frederick Kiesler, inspirés par la nature, ils se tournent vers la création de volumes(...)

Un véritable rejet du mouvement moderne a émergé en France durant la décennie 1960. Des architectes et des artistes mènent alors des recherches sur le voile de béton, qui offre une immense liberté d’expression et une souplesse tant formelle que technique. Influencés par Antoni Gaudí ou Frederick Kiesler, inspirés par la nature, ils se tournent vers la création de volumes ovoïdes. Dans une société passionnée par la science-fiction et les soucoupes volantes, ils composent des univers entre représentation primitive et projection futuriste. Leur choix pour les structures en forme de bulles sera à la fois économique, esthétique et pratique : coquille protectrice, elle doit s’accorder parfaitement aux gestes quotidiens.

Summary:
As Angela Y. Davis has proposed, the ''path to prison,'' which so disproportionately affects communities of colour, is most acutely guided by the conditions of daily life. Architecture, then, as fundamental to shaping these conditions of civil existence, must be interrogated for its involvement along this diffuse and mobile path.

Summary:
As Angela Y. Davis has proposed, the ''path to prison,'' which so disproportionately affects communities of colour, is most acutely guided by the conditions of daily life. Architecture, then, as fundamental to shaping these conditions of civil existence, must be interrogated for its involvement along this diffuse and mobile path. ''Paths to prison: on the architectures of carcerality'' aims to expand the ways the built environment’s relationship to and participation in the carceral state is understood in architecture. The collected essays in this book implicate architecture in the more longstanding and pervasive legacies of racialized coercion in the United States- and follow the premise that to understand how the prison enacts its violence in the present one must shift the epistemological frame elsewhere: to places, discourses, and narratives assumed to be outside of the sphere of incarceration. ''Paths to prison: on the architectures of carcerality'' offers not a fixed or inexorable account of how things are but rather a set of starting points and methodologies for reevaluating the architecture of carceral society and for undoing it altogether.

"Modern Chinese architecture: 180 years" tells the dramatic story of the transformation of Chinese architecture from a predominantly modular, timber-frame, single-story building system with ceramic tile roofs of anonymous, local craftsmen to skyscrapers designed by internationally acclaimed architects, from temple markets and itinerant peddlers to megamalls, and from open air stages to auditoriums and stadiums with cutting-edge acoustics. The architectural transformation occurs as China transforms from a dynasty ruled by emperors to a republic to a people’s republic, from a country in which fewer than half the male population, and perhaps 10 percent of the female population could read to at least 97% literacy, and from a population that was fewer than 5 percent to more than 60 percent urban.
