Summary:
The visual and textual contributions in this volume take shape from a series of questions that place at the center of reflection the role of artistic and design practices in the production of knowledge. What tools can we adopt when words are no longer sufficient to describe what surrounds us? How can we construct new languages and new imaginaries capable of giving form to experience, uncertainty, and the complexity of our present? What does it mean today to produce knowledge through practice, at a historical moment when the boundaries between discipline and action, between theory and project, between art and life are becoming increasingly blurred? How do artists and designers use the tools of their practices to question reality, deconstruct dominant narratives, and propose alternative perspectives? The volume gathers and weaves together the works and writings of more than one hundred artists, designers, scholars, and thinkers who, through different approaches, languages, and sensibilities, explore the possibility of generating knowledge through image, gesture, form, and action. The aim is to shed light on how visual practices can not only represent the world but also have an impact on it, activating processes of situated, critical, and transformative knowledge.

Summary:
Un ouvrage destiné à un large public, très documenté, réaliste et concret, ouvert aux dernières recherches technologiques et environnementales, un panorama international offrant un regard nouveau et chaleureux sur la fabuleuse effervescence architecturale de notre temps. Une analyse sans complaisance de la situation de l'architecture d'aujourd'hui, de sa pratique professionnelle et du rôle de ses multiples commanditaires publics et privés, qui permet de mieux regarder, comprendre et aimer l'architecture contemporaine. Un panorama d'une centaine de réalisations caractéristiques de ce début de XXIe siècle contournant les phénomènes de starisation, de style ou de mode. Classement par types de construction : éducation, habitat, équipement, culture, loisirs, travail, religion. Diplômé de Sciences Po Paris, Jacques Bosser est auteur, journaliste et traducteur anglais-français de plus de 100 ouvrages. Il a collaboré à différents magazines comme Architectural Digest, Maison Française, Connaissance des Arts ou Geo et s'intéresse à l'histoire culturelle des formes et en particulier à l'architecture, au design et à l'histoire des jardins.
