Summary:
Architectural design and the curatorial share a non-disciplinary background, and aim to assemble diverse forms of knowledge rather than specializing. Inherently transdisciplinary, then, they are at odds with the increasing division of labor in all fields of knowledge and practice. In the face of professionalization, which limits our capacity to intervene comprehensively, design and the curatorial challenge specialization and produce relational knowledge. They intend to create an in-between place, as together they form a novel practice that—in combining heterogenous forms of knowledge—takes center stage rather than serving as a moderator or mediator of sorts. What unites them is the assertion of a relational form, the autonomy of which consists precisely in teasing out relations between different elements. What happens to architectural design when it consciously enters a relationship with the curatorial? The book is aimed at practitioners and educators in the field of architecture and design, as well as curators and exhibition makers. It contains three photo series by Armin Linke that accompany the three sections of the book: "Public School for Architecture", "Total Reconstruction," and "Designing for Co-Habitation."

Summary:
L'importance du patrimoine d'Arles n'est plus à démontrer, mais certains aspects demeurent méconnus à la fois des touristes, des visiteurs, mais aussi des Arlésiens. C'est notamment le cas du patrimoine religieux. L'aspect extérieur que présente la ville, particulièrement visible pour quelqu'un qui s'y rend depuis Trinquetaille, est celui d'une cité dominée par les clochers. Cette première vision est confirmée par une visite de la ville, et par la découverte de nombreux vestiges de structures religieuses : églises désaffectées, fragments de cloîtres pris dans une habitation ou dans un commerce... La présence de ces vestiges ne manque pas d'étonner et soulève généralement nombre de questions. Qui ne s'est pas interrogé sur ces bâtiments, tant ils nous appellent à découvrir un aspect d'Arles qui a disparu, détruit par la Révolution et englouti dans les transformations urbaines des XIXe et XXe siècles ? Il nous a paru intéressant de faire découvrir cette partie méconnue du patrimoine arlésien à travers un parcours abordable par tous. Cette découverte des églises d'Arles s'attache aux aspects les moins connus et à la petite histoire, éludant volontairement les points les plus connus que l'on peut retrouver ailleurs.

Summary:
For more than fifty years, Halley Research Station—located on the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica’s Weddell Sea—has collected a continuous stream of meteorological and atmospheric data critical to our understanding of polar atmospheric chemistry, rising sea levels, and the depletion of the ozone layer. Since the station’s establishment in 1956, there have been six Halley stations, each designed to withstand the difficult climatic conditions. The first four stations were crushed by snow. The fifth featured a steel platform, allowing it to rise above snow cover, but it, too, had to be abandoned when it moved too far from the mainland, making its habitation precarious. Completed in 2012, Halley VI is the winning design from a competition in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Like its predecessor, Halley VI can rise to avoid snow accumulation, but it is also the first research station able to be fully relocatable, its eight modules situated atop ski-fitted hydraulic legs. This book tells the story of this iconic piece of architecture’s design and creation, supplemented with many illustrations, including plans and previously unpublished photographs.
