Summary:
Since the beginning of the century, the field of architecture has fervently turned its attention to documenting the contemporary urban condition. Every city has been examined as a repository of architectural concepts, scrutinized as an urban manifesto, and recorded as a series of found objects. "The Ordinary" articulates a potential genealogy for this practice and for the genre of books derived from it. Organized around conversations with the authors of three seminal texts that document the city—Denise Scott Brown's "Learning from Las Vegas" (1972), Rem Koolhaas's "Delirious New York" (1978), and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto's "Made in Tokyo" (2001)—this volume traces the history of these "books on cities" by examining the material they recorded, the findings they established, the arguments they advanced, and the projects they promoted. These conversations also question the assumptions underlying this practice and whether in its ubiquity it still remains a space of opportunity.

Summary:
Preservation is Overtaking Us brings together two lectures given by Rem Koolhaas at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, along with a response (framed as a supplement to the original lectures) by Jorge Otero-Pailos. In the first essay Koohaas describes alternative strategies for preserving Beijing, China. The second talk marks the inaugural Paul Spencer Byard lecture, named in celebration of the longtime professor of Historic Preservation at GSAPP. These two lectures trace key moments of Koolhaas’ thinking on preservation, including his practice’s entry into China and the commission to redevelop the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In a format well known to Koolhaas’ readers, Otero-Pailos reworks the lectures into a retroactive manifesto, using it to interrogate OMA’s work from within the discipline of preservation. This is the first book in the new GSAPP Transcripts series.

Summary:
Manhattan est l’arène où se joue le dernier acte du monde occidental. Avec l’explosion démographique et l’invasion des nouvelles technologies, Manhattan, depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle, est devenu le laboratoire d’une nouvelle culture – celle de la congestion –; une île mythique où se réalise l’inconscient collectif d’un nouveau mode de vie métropolitain, une usine de l’artificiel où naturel et réel ont cessé d’exister. Ce livre est un «manifeste rétroactif», une interprétation de la théorie informulée, sous-jacente au développement de Manhattan; c’est le récit des intrigues d’un urbanisme qui, des origines à Coney Island jusqu’aux théoriciens du gratte-ciel, a fait exploser la grille d’origine. Ce livre, polémique et prémonitoire (publié en 1978), illustre les relations entre un univers métropolitain mutant et la seule architecture qu’il puisse produire.
