Summary:
Animés par le désir de créer des mondes meilleurs en temps de crise, les architectes cherchent à restructurer la société, à repenser le lien entre la ville et la campagne, à réimaginer les villes et les formes d’habitat, à réinventer l’architecture et sa matérialité – et créent ainsi une nouvelle esthétique. Les crises sont des points de basculement, où le temps est comme(...)

Summary:
Animés par le désir de créer des mondes meilleurs en temps de crise, les architectes cherchent à restructurer la société, à repenser le lien entre la ville et la campagne, à réimaginer les villes et les formes d’habitat, à réinventer l’architecture et sa matérialité – et créent ainsi une nouvelle esthétique. Les crises sont des points de basculement, où le temps est comme suspendu, où les attentes vis-à-vis de l’avenir changent, et où s’ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives. Prenant appui sur des projets historiques et contemporains, Susanne Stacher examine différentes stratégies architecturales. De nombreuses positions scientifiques et philosophique (notamment celles de Pierre-Henri Castel et Hartmut Rosa) permettent de questionner les notions de progrès, de croissance, de nature et de société telles qu’elles s’expriment à travers les projets architecturaux présentés.

Summary:
In 2012, the international congress ‘Architecture: The Common’ was held in Pamplona, presented by Norman Foster. It appealed to civic solidarity as an instrument of architecture in facing the urgent economic and environmental challenges of today. This publication is a record of the event through the interviews conducted by four prominent critics – Peter Buchanan, François Chaslin, Juli Capella and Kosme de Barañano – with the participating speakers, including Eduardo Souto de Moura, Rafael Moneo, Ann Heringer, Roger Diener and others. In this way, it covers a broad spectrum of contemporary sensibilities in architectural practice.

Summary:
Houston-based Interloop—Architecture, founded in 2001 by Rice University School of Architecture professors Dawn Finley and Mark Wamble, focuses on innovative building technologies, inventive forms, and precise material finishes. Its wide-ranging projects include the design of custom furniture and fixtures, private residences, research complexes, and cultural institutions. ''System of novelties'' is the first book on Interloop—Architecture’s work. It combines elements of both monograph and field guide, placing the firm’s novel architectural designs within their broader context, with special attention to how influences, procedures, and techniques have been threaded from project to project over a period of two decades. A diverse collection of built and speculative designs are framed by three pairs of research topics: Information–Shape, Procedure–Assembly, and Material–Detail. Graphic notes trace and synthetically connect the systems—some unique, some recurring—used in and between projects. ''System of novelties'' demonstrates the firm’s technical expertise with materials, manufacturing, and delivery processes and offers insights into innovative forms of contemporary architectural practice

Summary:
Studying the relation of architecture to society, this book explains the manner in which the discipline of architecture adjusted itself in order to satisfy new pressures by society. Consequently, it offers an understanding of contemporary conditions and phenomena, ranging from the ubiquity of landmark buildings to the celebrity status of architects. It concerns the period spanning from 1966 to the first years of the current century – a period which saw radical change in economy, politics, and culture and a period in which architecture radically transformed, substituting the alleged dreariness of modernism with spectacle.

Summary:
In today's turbulent times few subjects deserve a closer scrutiny than the interactions between violence and constructed environment. Modernity's contradictory histories laid bare the fact that it is impossible to consider architecture simply a benign, passive victim of humanity's violent vices. Built space is as capable of incarnating violent acts as enacting them, disciplining and silencing the subject in the process. In this volume, thinkers of contemporary architectural theory make manifest the intricacies of interrelations between architecture and violent events. Employing a wide variety of perspectives and methodological approaches, the authors examine some of the most dramatic and unexpected instances of these vexing relations.
