Summary:
" Cette Exposition marque le triomphe de la civilisation " déclarait Abd-El-Kader à l'Empereur Napoléon III en visitant les pavillons de l'Exposition Universelle de 1867. Si cette Exposition provoqua l'enthousiasme du sultan, elle fut, comme la première en 1855 et celles qui suivirent, en 1878, 1889, 1900, 1931, 1937, un événement international de premier ordre. A chaque occasion les nations du monde entier présentèrent à Paris ce qu'elles savaient réaliser de plus beau et de meilleur. Les visiteurs venus de tous les pays s'y rencontrèrent ; Paris fut ainsi à sept reprises la capitale mondiale de la science, de la culture, des techniques, des arts et de la Paix. Il y eut jusqu'à 50 millions de visiteurs en 1900. Pour ces Expositions de grandioses édifices furent construits dont un certain nombre subsistent ; les gares de Saint Lazare, de Lyon et d'Orsay, les hôtels du Louvre et Intercontinental, la Tour Eiffel, le Grand et le Petit Palais, le Pont Alexandre III, le musée des Colonies, le musée d'Art Moderne et le Palais de Chaillot. C'est une synthèse de ces extraordinaires événements internationaux, aujourd'hui oubliés, que propose cet ouvrage.

Summary:
Five iconic installations: one mobile and four fixed “Arteplage” locations; 500 individual structures in transition from experimental architecture to scenographics; 45 international designer teams. Illustrations, detailed plans, and instructive texts portray the architecture of the Expo in all its complexity: from Pipilotti Rist’s "Laboratory of Ideas" (Ideenlabor), visionary models of 1998 and the international competition, through to its fulfilment. The project concepts are explained by the authors in their own words: Coop Himmelb(l)au and GLS, Jean Nouvel and GIM, J. Sbriglio, and Extasia with T. Kobler/Vehovar + Jauslin, West 8/Diller + Scofidio.

Implying always a beginning, teaching is about initiating excitement.

Summary:
Implying always a beginning, teaching is about initiating excitement. It entails the deployment of pleasure, the built-up of passion, and obsession vis-à-vis a particular field of endeavour, the grounds on which a discipline operates, and its intellectual as well as physical practices. Notwithstanding the optimistic implications of such a claim, teaching inevitably involves a contradictory bias both in favour as well as against the discipline at issue, promoting an understanding of its regulating principles while at the same time questioning the seemingly secure bases on which it is presumed to stand. Whereas teaching is affirmative, it simultaneously introduces a distancing from the very subject matter that it promotes.
