Summary:
How to deal with transformation and degrowth in a city whose boundaries have been shaped by its medieval history? How to question dominant histories, use underutilised public space and set in motion new cohabitations in the city? This book is published on the occasion of Bruges Triennial 2024: ''Spaces of Possibility'', curated by Shendy Gardin and Sevie Tsampalla. Featuring contributions by the twelve artists and architects in the exhibition, it offers insights into the research processes behind the commissions, through texts, archival images, preparatory sketches and interviews. Newly commissioned essays address issues of urban transformation and the role that contemporary art, architecture and exhibition-making can play for futuring cities marked by their heritage.

Summary:
This volume takes Artists for Democracy (AFD) as a starting point to explore the entanglement of artistic practices with transnational solidarities shaped by migration and political mobilization. AFD formed in London in 1974 to give "material and cultural support to liberation movements worldwide" and to use art as "a way of making global political struggles visible." Over the next three years, the collective arranged several large-scale festivals dedicated to the relief of political crises in Chile, Vietnam, Indochina and the United States. Through detailed contextualization, scholastic and artistic commissions and extensive archival documentation, "Precarious solidarities" applies a variety of lenses—artistic, social, political, historical and geographic—to explore AFD’s legacy today.

Summary:
Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as Paolo Soleri, Bruce Goff and Gunnar Birkerts, Bruder opened his own design studio in 1974. His self-built house/studio on the desert edge of Phoenix garnered a Record Houses of 1977 design award. A Fellowship in Architecture at the American Academy in Rome was a career turning-point permitting several months of intense reflection from a studio overlooking Rome, and travel throughout Europe to study historic and contemporary architecture. Filled with fresh perspective, Bruder won the commission to design the 280,000 square foot Phoenix Central Library. It opened in 1995. Cultural, civic and private commissions followed, as did opportunities to travel, lecture, and teach.

Summary:
Loin de retirer au Baron d'Empire autant qu'à l'ancien Préfet de Gironde Georges Eugène Haussmann sa contribution à l'aménagement du « Nouveau Paris », Pierre Pinon entend cependant relativiser le « mythe » résultant d'une lecture trop littérale et hagiographique de ses Mémoires. Paris ne s'est pas fait en un jour ni à sa seule arrivée en 1853. Dès les années 1840, il(...)

Summary:
Loin de retirer au Baron d'Empire autant qu'à l'ancien Préfet de Gironde Georges Eugène Haussmann sa contribution à l'aménagement du « Nouveau Paris », Pierre Pinon entend cependant relativiser le « mythe » résultant d'une lecture trop littérale et hagiographique de ses Mémoires. Paris ne s'est pas fait en un jour ni à sa seule arrivée en 1853. Dès les années 1840, il existe des commerçants, investisseurs, architectes et commissions qui réfléchissent à des scénarios d'alignement, d'élargissement ou de percée dans la Ville-Lumière. Et cela, sans oublier les velléités d'aménageur de Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte président de la République (dès 1848) et, plus encore, de l'Empereur Napoléon III après son retour émerveillé de l'Exposition de Londres en 1851...
