L’émulation intellectuelle à Milan est alors à son comble : philosophes, écrivains, artistes et architectes croisent leurs savoirs et produisent une œuvre collective parmi les plus influentes de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. C’est au contact de cette génération talentueuse, dont il fait partie, que Vittorio Gregotti écrira son livre le plus connu : Le territoire de l’architecture. Un texte important, savant, mais aussi difficile, fragmenté, et rendu presque inaccessible au lecteur français par l’insuffisance de sa seule traduction. Jacques Boulet, transposant en architecture un statut du texte que l’historien de l’art Julius von Schlosser définissait par Kunstlitteratur, nous en livre ici, en hommage à Vittorio Gregotti, une lecture utile en “opera aperta”, écrite en 2000 et non publiée, qui pose l’hypothèse, chez l’architecte italien, d’une écriture analogue à la projetation.

Summary:
Throughout human history, the library, the archive and the museum have embodied knowledge, information and collective culture to such an extent that it is possible to compare systems of information organisation with spatial and architectural typologies. The publication, conceived in the occasion of the exhibition at Archizoom (EPFL), dives into the relationship between architectural and digital culture beyond the pure rhetoric of the digital turn and the digital as architectural style. The hypothesis is that the notions of "database", "network" and "interface"—common in the field of information technology—could be related to architectural issues of a formal, compositional or symbolic nature, of which spatial arrangements, plans or façades are the expression. In this sense, the publication presents a selection of case studies highlighting the possible links between digital and non-digital cultural projects and their architectural counterparts.

Au fil de ces textes, les auteurs proposent une critique du capitalisme racial et de ses outils (gouvernance, crédit, université) ainsi que des modes d'expérimentation sociale en forme de résistance au colonial. La recherche passe par l'étude et se déroule bien au-delà de l'université, au travail, lors d'une pause cigarette, en famille, autour d'un repas, à la lisière de la lutte et de la fuite, à l'intérieur d'un mouvement de tremblement des fondations impérialistes, d'un mouvement de refus des termes du combat tel qu'il est imposé par le système dominant, vers la construction d'un espace social et politique en perpétuel déplacement. Le lieu et l'être sous-communs relèvent de l'incertitude de la création collective, de l'habitation par l'échange, de l'improvisation comme critique.

Summary:
Angela Davis provides a powerful history of the social and political influence of whiteness and elitism in feminism, from abolitionist days to the present, and demonstrates how the racist and classist biases of its leaders inevitably hampered any collective ambitions. While Black women were aided by some activists like Sarah and Angelina Grimke and the suffrage cause found unwavering support in Frederick Douglass, many women played on the fears of white supremacists for political gain rather than take an intersectional approach to liberation. Here, Davis not only contextualizes the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women’s rights activists, but also discusses Communist women, the murder of Emmitt Till, and Margaret Sanger’s racism. Davis shows readers how the inequalities between Black and white women influence the contemporary issues of rape, reproductive freedom, housework and child care in this bold and indispensable work.

For three weeks in October 1968, Stockholm's Moderna Museet was transformed into a sprawling adventure playground that was free to access for all of the city's children. It concatenated art, research, and urban activism into a visionary hybrid framework.

It concatenated art, research, and urban activism into a visionary hybrid framework. Half a century later, through a series of seminars, exhibitions, and new artworks, 'The New Model' revisits this utopian intervention, reviving discussions of public participation, children's agency, and shifting ideals of collective being. Curated by Lars Bang Larsen and Maria Lind, these inquiries took place from 2011 to 2015 at and around Tensta konsthall, in one of Stockholm's late-modernist suburbs. Through essays, exhibition documentation, and dialogues with the participating artists--among them Palle Nielsen, Magnus Bärtås, Hito Steyerl, Ane Hjort Guttu, and Dave Hullfish Bailey--this volume charts the evolution of two artistic, curatorial, and institutional experiments.

From fiction for The New Yorker to seminal essays on new architectural forms, McCoy charts the progressive edge of American idealism, from the collective utopian spirit of Jazz Age Greenwich Village, through the Depression and the war years, to the optimism of the 1950s and 1960s. In preparing this volume, writer and editor Susan Morgan extensively researched the McCoy papers at the Archives of American Art. Her editorial decisions were based, in part, on McCoy's original selections for an unrealized anthology solicited by W. W. Norton in 1968.

Summary:
"Holiday Houses" is the new critical survey that projects archphoto2.0’s fourth issue as the most architectural one, without the interdisciplinary crossbreeding and political connotation that were ingredients of the previous issues. But thinking about this issue also means reflecting on the concept of holiday’s evolution now that one doesn’t need to own a holiday house and can very well use a rental house for this purpose. And not even any house at that, but the result of a project of education to modernity like the one developed by philosopher Alain de Botton who asked celebrated and less known architects to address the issue of home-living in different locations in Great Britain. An interesting project in its attempt to establish a “modern” collective conscience although conflicting in its fluctuating between vernacular cottages and more contemporary designs.

Born into the semiotic seductions of the 1980s, Scottish painter Lucy McKenzie reworks the iconography of that decade to foster associations between the most unlikely sources —East European propaganda murals, German abstract painting, Cold War imagery, industrial typefaces and 1980s synth-pop. To embellish this wide-ranging lexicon, she often collaborates with fashion designers, musicians and interior designers on works that have been exhibited as theatrical sets at museums in Edinburgh, San Francisco, New York and Cologne, winning her an international following. Chêne De Weekend introduces new paintings that reference nineteenth-century trompe l'oeil paintings used for interior design, part of McKenzie's participation in Atelier, an interior design collective. Alongside reproductions of works, it includes a fictional account of her study of trompe l'oeil and an homage to the fashion designer Beca Lipscombe, one of her collaborators in Atelier.

These ideals were realized in the design of public buildings, streets and squares, as well as in films, literature and the visual arts. Urban planning under Eastern European Socialism is consequently inseparable from its ideological aspirations, and while its governmental structure may have collapsed, its architectural expressions remain. Over the last decade, however, many classic buildings of this era have been stripped of their political import, being repurposed or even destroyed. The Post Socialist City reveals that many cities across Eastern Europe remain dominated by the industrial complexes and panel buildings erected by Socialism, and analyzes the implications of the uses to which they have subsequently been put.
