Nous entrons dans « l’ère post-numérique », les technologies du numérique ne sont plus perçues comme un phénomène révolutionnaire, mais plutôt comme faisant partie intégrante de notre quotidien.

Summary:
Nous entrons dans « l’ère post-numérique », les technologies du numérique ne sont plus perçues comme un phénomène révolutionnaire, mais plutôt comme faisant partie intégrante de notre quotidien. La mutation de l’industrie de la musique et du cinéma, où les fichiers circulent en « bits et octets » via les téléchargements et le streaming, est désormais tenue pour acquise. Cependant, dans le monde de l’édition de livres et de revues, cette transformation ne fait que commencer. Pourtant, les prémices de cette mutation sont loin d’être récents. Depuis plus d’un siècle, des artistes d’avant-garde, des activistes et des ingénieurs ont anticipé le développement des réseaux et de l’édition numérique. Bien que la mort annoncée du papier ait été largement exagérée, l’édition numérique est désormais devenue une réalité. Comment l’analogique et le numérique vont-ils coexister dans l’ère post-numérique ? Comment vont-ils s’entrecroiser, se mélanger et se dépasser ? Dans ce livre, Alessandro Ludovico repense l’histoire de la technologie des médias, de l’activisme culturel et des arts d’avant-garde comme une préhistoire de la soi-disant dichotomie entre papier et numérique.

Summary:
Each chapter of the book is dedicated to one decade, with an essay outlining general developments during those ten years and a discussion of the most distinctive projects; the most important projects are illustrated. The images consist to a large extent of historic and new photographic material, supplemented where necessary with plans and design drawings. Through the decades, the themes discussed include: the transition from 'utilitarian greenery' to 'greenery for consumption', the Zuiderzee Works - the construction of the massive Afsluitdijk (Enclosing Dike) to close off the Zuiderzee from the Waddenzee, the changes in agriculture, the Ecological Master Plan, garden design on country estates, the transformation of managed nature into 'new nature', and the development of public gardens and parks. The design or the designer are the main focus throughout, always considered in the light of broad social developments, such as fashionable trends, the increase of scale and intensification in agriculture, and changing recreational demands. The book contains work of a.o. Zocher, De Bazel, Granpré Molière, Mien Ruys, Van Eesteren, Dudok, Bijhouwer, Le Roy, Fortuyn/O'Brien, Baljon, Van Gessel and West 8.

En effet, la construction des gares au XIXe siècle et celle des autoroutes et des aéroports au XXIe ont généré des transformations majeures de l'environnement, de l'échelle du territoire à celle du quartier. Dans une situation où la ville ne peut plus être pensée uniquement en termes d'édification ex nihilo, mais bien en termes de transformation durable d'un bâti déjà existant, "Concevoir à grande échelle" tente de définir les grandes lignes d'une typologie permettant d'analyser et de comprendre l'avenir de ces structures. A travers l'analyse des interfaces du Grand Paris Mathieu Mercuriali tente de faire émerger de nouveaux modèles d'interfaces et de contribuer à la création d'outils dédiés aux acteurs de la ville.

Summary:
In ''Street Archives and City Life'', Emily Callaci maps a new terrain of political and cultural production in mid- to late twentieth-century Tanzanian urban landscapes. While the postcolonial Tanzanian ruling party (TANU) adopted a policy of rural socialism known as Ujamaa between 1967 and 1985, an influx of youth migrants to the city of Dar es Salaam generated innovative forms of urbanism through the production and circulation of what Callaci calls street archives. These urban intellectuals neither supported nor contested the ruling party's anti-city philosophy; rather, they navigated the complexities of inhabiting unplanned African cities during economic crisis and social transformation through various forms of popular texts that included women's Christian advice literature, newspaper columns, self-published pulp fiction novellas, and song lyrics. Through these textual networks, Callaci shows how youth migrants and urban intellectuals in Dar es Salaam fashioned a collective ethos of postcolonial African citizenship. This spirit ushered in a revolution rooted in the city and its networks—an urban revolution that arose in spite of the nation-state's pro-rural ideology.

Guido Guidi's new book, "In Veneto," opens with a big eye framed in the blind of a shop window in Mestre, an eye which, by opening like a sort of warning, announces the origin of photography itself. This book contains a selection of hitherto unpublished photographs that Guidi took between 1984 and 1989, using a Deardorff 8X10. This was the first time he had used a large(...)

Summary:
Guido Guidi's new book, "In Veneto," opens with a big eye framed in the blind of a shop window in Mestre, an eye which, by opening like a sort of warning, announces the origin of photography itself. This book contains a selection of hitherto unpublished photographs that Guidi took between 1984 and 1989, using a Deardorff 8X10. This was the first time he had used a large format camera for a whole project, which concentrated on an area in the central Veneto, an area known for having rapidly turned into a deeply uncertain, marginal landscape, one intimately hierarchy-free. The places he visited, in the provinces of Treviso, Vicenza, Padua and Venice, seem to be almost part of the same drawing, of the same place, bearing stark testimony to the process of change that has led to the transformation of a huge rural area, driving it into a form of fragmentation known as urban spread. The photographs in these much-loved places seem to re-evoke the three truths described by Robert Adams in "Beauty in Photography": geography, biography, and metaphor.

Summary:
Maisel’s work has always been concerned with processes of memory, excavation, and transformation. These themes are given new form in his latest work, History’s Shadow. In this series, Maisel re-photographs x-rays from museum archives that depict artifacts from antiquity, scanning and digitally manipulating the selected source material. X-rays have historically been used by art conservators for structural examination of art and artifacts much as physicians examine bones and internal organs; they reveal losses, replacements, construction methods, and internal trauma invisible to the naked eye. By transcribing both the inner and outer surfaces of their subjects simultaneously, they form spectral images of indeterminate space, depth, and scale. The resulting photographs seem like transmissions from the distant past, both spanning and collapsing time. They express – through feeling and art, as well as science and reason – the shape-shifting nature of time itself, and the continuous presence of the past contained within us. The book contains an original short story by Jonathan Lethem that was inspired by Maisel’s images.

Summary:
Fang’s novel tells the story of a man in the process of designing a theme park, called Garden of Mirrored Flowers, and is an adaptation and transformation of the classical Chinese novel Jin Hua Yuan, or Flowers in the Mirror, from the Qing Dynasty. Beginning as a pictorial journey through myriad advertisements and the way they allow for many different entries into reality, Fang depicts parallels between the park’s actual construction and how it has been imagined, or how it has evolved out of history. For Garden of Mirrored Flowers is less the vision of one author (Fang) and more the result of reality writing itself through this author; that is, a script, or documentary, of life. “It’s a book,” Fang states, “written by a ghost writer. Me? Just a traveler floating within the wave of globalization.” Culminating with the park’s opening ceremony, Fang creates a space where history seems to have been completely consumed and absorbed by contemporary social movements. It is both a labyrinth to get lost in and a pavilion made of reflective glass.

Summary:
Berlin's history of conflict, violence, and transformation has created an arena of particular urban surfaces, from which the present-day city and its layered, wounded past are projected simultaneously. In this publication, cultural historian Stephen Barber explores the intimate connections between those surfaces and the works of art and film that have both incised Berlin's urban screens and been inspired by them. Drawing on a vast range of material - from the first films of Berlin in the 1890s to the city's place in contemporary digital art - this book takes the form of a series of image-propelled journeys across the face of Berlin and through its urban histories, excavating the ricochets among the city, art, and film. In Barber's hands, Berlin's walls become apertures that mediate the city's preoccupations and manias, damage and scars, strata and outgrowths, sexual obsessions, and urban vanishings. The Walls of Berlin is a cultural history of the city's memories-as well as its acts of forgetting-that illuminates overlooked spaces and the sensory presences that inhabit them.

Trois aspects caractérisent cet ouvrage et éclairent son importance : ses qualités purement littéraires, la progressive transformation de la personnalité de l'auteur au fil du parcours, le rôle de ces leçons dans son processus de conception tout au long de sa vie. Ce voyage éclaire le rapport de l'auteur entre inspiration et création. Hormis le récit qu'il tire de ses découvertes, Le Corbusier remplit plusieurs carnets de dessins, croquis et annotations (certaines pages sont reproduites dans l'ouvrage). Sa vie durant, il retournera à ces études de l'année 1911 pour ressourcer sa créativité et y puiser la matrice de ses formes nouvelles. Le récit est accompagné d'une postface analysant le rôle des voyages dans le travail de Le Corbusier et d'une introduction présentant le contexte de ce déplacement.
