Summary:
À la tombée de la nuit, Montréal scintille de mille feux. Le pont Jacques-Cartier, le Quartier des spectacles, la Biosphère et bien d’autres repères urbains bénéficient d’une mise en lumière qui magnifie leur présence dans l’obscurité. La constellation que forment ces illuminations confère à la ville une apparence «magique et féérique». Or, serait-il possible que cet éclat camoufle, voire alimente, une réalité moins séduisante? Dans cet ouvrage, Josianne Poirier considère le côté sombre des animations lumineuses urbaines, les visées de rayonnement international qui les légitiment et les récits collectifs pasteurisés qu’elles véhiculent. Entre illumination et aveuglement, visibilité et effacement, promesse et leurre, les scénarisations nocturnes étudiées ici constituent le point de départ d’une réflexion critique sur la marchandisation de la ville et ses effets délétères sur le vivre-ensemble.

Summary:
"Animate Form" is a book and interactive CD-ROM of recent architectural projects designed by Form, the office of Greg Lynn. The projects documented here explore the potential of time-based animation techniques to inform architectural design. Historically, architecture has been considered static, fixed, and inert. Through the use of state-of-the-art animation and special-effects software, Lynn transforms space and form into highly plastic, flexible, and mutable entities. He uses topological geometries to bend, twist, deform, and differentiate structure, creating unprecedented departures from preconceived notions of architecture. In experimenting with these new methods and media, Lynn has charted an innovative direction in design. The book provides a theoretical context for the experimental projects through a collection of texts by Lynn, extensively illustrated in colour. The CD-ROM is an interactive HTML-based environment that fully documents the design processes used to generate the projects through animations, renderings, model photographs, animations, and texts. The viewer is able to navigate through space and select objects and animations to view at different scales.
