Summary:
112 Greene Street, The Kitchen, Artists Space, The Clocktower, P.S.1, Franklin Furnace, ou Fashion Moda : ces lieux nés durant la décennie 1970, et parfois toujours en activité, ont laissé une empreinte durable sur la scène artistique new-yorkaise. « Espaces alternatifs », d'abord installés dans ces quartiers industriels du sud de Manhattan qui deviendront SoHo et TriBeCa, puis dans l'East Village, le Queens, Brooklyn, ou encore le sud du Bronx, ces lieux d'exposition, de création et de sociabilité établis en marge des institutions muséales et des galeries commerciales ont favorisé l'épanouissement de nouvelles pratiques : art processuel, danse postmoderne, art vidéo, performance. C'est une enquête historique et un parcours géographique que propose l'ouvrage, mettant en lumière l'articulation entre ces pratiques et les phénomènes institutionnels, sociaux, économiques et urbains dont elles ne peuvent être dissociées. Si les installations dans les espaces bruts du 112 Greene Street ou l'exposition inaugurale de P.S.1 révèlent un engouement pour le matériau urbain, c'est aussi la place des artistes dans la ville de New York qui est alors constamment interrogée, depuis la légalisation des premiers lofts jusqu'aux critiques virulentes de la gentrification qui émanent de la communauté artistique elle-même. Alors qu'au début des années 1970 ces lieux alternatifs profitent d'un contexte économique favorable et du soutien d'une nouvelle politique culturelle fédérale et locale, le milieu des années 1980 sonne le glas d'un mouvement. « The Fun is gone » arbore la Fun Gallery à sa fermeture dans l'East Village en 1985. La scène alternative s'essouffle sous la présidence Reagan, non sans avoir nourri sa propre histoire et contribué à la constitution d'une mythologie et d'un héritage dont l'ambivalence persiste aujourd'hui.

Summary:
How has Berlin’s urban landscape changed in its remarkable transformation from divided city to creative capital? Despite the monumental heritage and grand development projects, Berlin still conjures up images of urban fragmentation and vacant inner-city land. The book reveals the changing nature and complex politics of this open space. A rephotographing of sites between 2001 and 2016 shows how no man’s land has made way for new apartments and underground hangouts have changed into commercial hubs, but it also transports us to remaining pockets of urban wilderness and unexpected freedom right next to the city’s most iconic squares. The accompanying essays by noted urban thinkers explore this little-known but vital reserve—forcing us to reflect on our unrelenting efforts to chart the future of the city at large.

Summary:
This book looks at architecture history in reverse, in order to follow chains of precedents back through time to see how ideas alter the course of civilization in general and the discipline of architecture in particular. Part One begins with present-day attitudes about architecture and traces them back to seminal ideas from the beginning of the twentieth century. Part Two examines how pre-twentieth century societies designed and understood architecture, how they strove to create communal physical languages, and how their disagreements set the stage for our information age practices. Includes 45 black and white images.

One of very few writers to be awarded the RIBA’s highest honour, the Royal Gold Medal, in 2014, and author of countless books and essays, his influence over the past 60 years cannot be underestimated. In this memoir he tells for the first time of how his life’s experiences shaped his working life. He addresses the dualities between which he had to navigate: Jewish/Polish, Polish/British and later, Practice/Scholarship. He spent most of his working life between the US and UK and worked both as a designer and a writer; as such his ground-breaking ideas and work have had a major impact on the thinking of architects and designers since the 1960s and continue to do so to this day.

Ce livre analyse comment la ville est devenue le réceptacle de l'évolution de la société et des modes de vie dans un monde incertain, une économie incertaine et des territoires incertains. Comment essayer de construire un récit dans lequel les citoyens se retrouvent, dans lequel les élus s'engagent. La fragilité, aujourd'hui, des êtres humains, auxquels on demande de s'inventer sans cesse, exige des responsables publics qu'ils soient capables de fixer un cap et que la politique produise ce récit dans lequel chacun trouve sa place. Ce livre n'a pas de prétention scientifique. Il se veut une manière de raconter la ville, une lecture de ville à travers une expérience d'élu et de professionnel, tout au long de quelques dizaines d'années de pratique.

Summary:
In the slipstream of conceptual art, the intimate interweaving of meaning and materialization in art and design came to be discredited in the second half of the twentieth century. The master’s program Material Utopias at the Sandberg Instituut put an end to this tradition by abolishing the unproductive hierarchy separating "concept" and "making," "content" and "process." In this publication, various authors reflect on the history of dematerialization and deskilling, the manifold meanings of materials in art and design, and the challenges for education when the innovative power of the artistic process is celebrated.
