The concepts of public and private are not diametrically opposed, but rather exist on a continuum. The success of public architecture is determined by the interaction between the two, for both the individual and the collective. Here ''C3'' considers how public ownership and privatisation play out across several typologies, from open spaces and swimming pools, to mixed-use(...)

Summary:
The concepts of public and private are not diametrically opposed, but rather exist on a continuum. The success of public architecture is determined by the interaction between the two, for both the individual and the collective. Here ''C3'' considers how public ownership and privatisation play out across several typologies, from open spaces and swimming pools, to mixed-use buildings and museums. Among the featured projects are the Amos Rex Museum by JKMM Architects, Dominique Perrault's Paris Longchamp Racecourse, Aarhus Harbour Bath by BIG, the Palestinian Museum by Heneghan Peng Architects, and the Apple Piazza Liberty by Foster + Partners.

Summary:
Faced with environmental, social, and political precarity, what are our supports? Five artist groups inhabiting an in-between public space in downtown Vancouver offer a response to these questions. Their projects made forms of connection, self-organisation and mutual aid, friendship as a medium, and collective, critically engaged pleasure activism visible. ''What are our supports?'' looks at the frameworks artists propose in working to create change in a city rampant with urban development and regulation. It chronicles documentation from each project and presents critical essays, poetry, and reprinted texts by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson and Celine Condorelli.

Summary:
Marc Augé was eleven or twelve years old when he first saw Casablanca. The film-with its recurring scenes of waiting, menace, and flight-occupies a significant place in Augé's own memory of his uprooted childhood and the wartime exploits of his family. Seamlessly weaving together film criticism and memoir, Casablanca moves between Augé's insights into the filmgoing experience and his reflections on his own life, the collective trauma of France's wartime history, and how such events as the fall of Paris, the exodus of refugees, and the Occupation-all depicted in the film-were lived and are remembered.

Rêveries, souvenirs, pensées..., tout est là dans la promenade, cette expérience émotionnelle de l'espace qui brasse continûment la mémoire personnelle et l'histoire collective. Ici, une longue promenade sur quatre saisons, d'un été au printemps suivant, à travers des jardins proches, à Paris et en Île-de-France, mêlés à la réminiscence des paysages lointains, l'Italie et le Japon, la Bretagne et l'Himalaya. En mélangeant les jardins et leurs époques, la promenade surprend sans cesse par le côtoiement de l'héritage et de l'inclassable, et offre la possibilité de penser notre époque en pensant ce qu'on a sous les yeux.

Summary:
Most would agree that markets and money are crude measures when it comes to establishing the value of art. What exactly is being valued in the financial approach to culture, and what is being overlooked? Giving and Taking is an ambitious project that sets out to answer these questions. In the form of ten essays by authors from a range of disciplines, the volume represents a collective effort to establish a value of art that escapes or transcends the monetary. With contributions from leading philosophers, anthropologists and sociologists such as Peter Sloterdijk, Lewis Hyde, Lars Spuybroek, Zygmunt Bauman and many others.

L'étude de Robert Major reconstruit la dynamique complexe du phénomène Parti pris, suit les étapes de son évolution, observe les oscillations, parfois bien subtiles, de ses positions sans chercher à gommer les limites et les contradictions d'un mouvement impétueux et par moments déchiré entre ses idéaux et le travail de terrain. Spécialiste averti de l'essai, Robert Major réussit à restituer la dimension vivante de l'aventure partipriste, en donnant accès au processus d'élaboration de sa pensée collective et émancipatrice, et en rendant sensible la formidable énergie qui présida à cette grande aventure intellectuelle, qui n'a rien perdu de son pouvoir d'inspiration pour le présent.

Global Ends: Towards The Beginning explores the uncertain and de-centred nature of architecture and the global/local dynamic involved in both its perception and production in a post-9/11, post-Great East Japan Earthquake world. Taking views from several accomplished architects spread across all corners of the globe (Tom Kundig, Junya Ishigami, Kerry Hill, Sean Godsell, Smiljan Radic, Paulo David and RCR Aranda Pigem Vilalta Arquitectes), it focuses on the paradigm shift we are witnessing today, with collective creativity springing from far-flung regions and local solutions that are perhaps adaptable to global issues.

Summary:
In this publication, Jennifer Ponce de León examines the roles that art can play in the collective labor of creating and defending another social reality. Focusing on artists and art collectives in Argentina, Mexico, and the United States, Ponce de León shows how experimental practices in the visual, literary, and performing arts have been influenced by and articulated with leftist movements and popular uprisings that have repudiated neoliberal capitalism and its violence. Ponce de León proposes a materialist understanding of art and politics that brings to the fore the power of aesthetics to both compose and make visible a world beyond capitalism.
