Summary:
Entre les années 1960 et 1970, la masse bâtie et les infrastructures se sont accrues de manière exponentielle dans toute l'Europe de l'Ouest. Pour répondre à cette nouvelle échelle de projet, les architectes, les ingénieurs et les urbanistes ont dû développer des systèmes de construction, de préfabrication et des techniques de planification, de même qu'ils ont forgé des utopies pour repenser l'environnement humain. En dressant un état des lieux de ces architectures en France, en Allemagne et en Suisse, ce livre revient sur le rôle des utopies, sur la production de masse et propose une analyse des enjeux et des paradoxes liés aujourd'hui à cet héritage complexe et à sa sauvegarde.

Summary:
Often dissident, sometimes adherent, this volume resists definition: adaptive, fluid, speculative. Reflecting the ambivalences of contemporary life, it is at once superficial and profound, profane and divine, present everywhere and nowhere, dismissed as futile yet capable of transforming even the most beautiful interiors. The book gathers diverse tools and insights – polysemic and ambiguous, bespoke and improvised, ornamental and critical – spanning media, technology, the arts, and other undefined fields, to examine the impact on contemporary design. With contributions by Philippe Rahm, Line Fontana, Paule Perron, Youri Kravtchenko, Simon Husslein, Camille Bagnoud, more.

Summary:
Japanese architect Arata Isozaki sees buildings not as dead objects but as events that encompass the social and historical context -- not to be defined forever by their "everlasting materiality" but as texts to be interpreted and reread continually. In "Japan-ness in architecture", he identifies what is essentially Japanese in architecture from the seventh to the twentieth century. In the opening essay, Isozaki analyzes the struggles of modern Japanese architects, including himself, to create something uniquely Japanese out of modernity. He then circles back in history to find what he calls Japan-ness in the seventh-century Ise shrine, reconstruction of the twelfth-century Todai-ji Temple, and the seventeenth-century Katsura Imperial Villa. He finds the periodic ritual relocation of Ise's precincts a counter to the West's concept of architectural permanence, and the repetition of the ritual an alternative to modernity's anxious quest for origins. He traces the "constructive power" of the Todai-ji Temple to the vision of the director of its reconstruction, the monk Chogen, whose imaginative power he sees as corresponding to the revolutionary turmoil of the times. The Katsura Imperial Villa, with its chimerical spaces, achieved its own Japan-ness as it reinvented the traditional shoin style. And yet, writes Isozaki, what others consider to be the Japanese aesthetic is often the opposite of that essential Japan-ness born in moments of historic self-definition; the purified stylization -- what Isozaki calls "Japanesquization" -- lacks the energy of cultural transformation and reflects an island retrenchment in response to the pressure of other cultures. Combining historical survey, critical analysis, theoretical reflection, and autobiographical account, these essays, written over a period of twenty years, demonstrate Isozaki's standing as one of the world's leading architects and preeminent architectural thinkers. Arata Isosaki is a leading Japanese architect. His works include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, the Volksbank Center am Postdamer Platz in Berlin, the Team Disney Building in Orlando, and the Tokyo University of Art and Design. Translated by Sabu Kohso. Foreword by Toshiko Mori.
