Summary:
Geomedia offers critical analysis of the new possibilities and power relations emerging in the public space of contemporary cities. As ubiquitous digital networks enable embedded and mobile devices to integrate place-specific data with real-time feedback circuits, everyday experience of public space has become subject to new demands. Looking beyond debates framed by the dominance of surveillance and spectacle, McQuire asks: how might the kind of collaborative practices that have flourished in art and online cultures be translated into urban space? In the urban crisis of the 1960s, Henri Lefebvre argued that the capacity for a city’s inhabitants to actively appropriate the time and space of their surroundings was a critical dimension of modern democracy. What does it mean to speak of ‘the right to the city’ in the context of the networked city? Addressing this question through a series of case studies, this cutting-edge text highlights the tensions between citizen and consumer, communication and surveillance, participation and control, which define contemporary struggles over public space.

Summary:
This publication includes lectures; interviews; articles published in daily newspapers and magazines, and longer essays on a variety of topics. Steiner brings to his work a keen critical acumen that draws on decades of travel, research, and contact with renowned international architects, such as Rob Krier, Hermann Czech, Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, Lacaton + Vassal, Jon Jerde, Rural Studio, Wang Shu, and Alexander Brodsky. At the same time, his articles and essays are often amplified by personal observations and experiences. While paying tribute to a prolific scholar and critic, Steiner’s Diary takes readers through four decades of architectural history that represent some of the discipline’s most fascinating historical developments, and it will be welcomed by architects, architectural historians, and anyone with an interest in architecture’s role in society today.

Davis portrays a vast humanity warehoused in shantytowns and exiled from the formal world economy.

Summary:
The critical concept of site-specificity once seemed to harbour the potential for disruption. But site-specific work has become increasingly assimilated into the capitalist logic of regeneration and value creation. The materialist critique of the art object has been shortcircuited by the franchised idiosyncrasies of international nomad flâneurs. And on a planet whose entire surface is mapped and apped, the concept of ‘site’ itself becomes ever more problematic. How can we do justice to the particularity of local sites while unearthing their material conditions? What do a contemporary ‘geo-philosophy’ and the historical legacy of site-specific art have to offer each other? Can we develop methods for the controlled unpacking of the local into the global, avoiding trivial reconciliations between local sites and their global conditions? "When site lost the plot" charts some of the ways in which site continues to be a concern for contemporary practice; and introduces the concept of ‘plot’ as an alternative approach. Alongside artists discussing their practice and their approach to site and plot, contributors from various disciplines introduce concepts from cartography, mathematics, film, fiction, design, and philosophy.

Parfois confondue avec l’idée d’inadaptation et parfois envisagée comme synonyme de péremption, citée ici dans un discours contre l’autodestruction programmée et invoquée là pour témoigner du caractère démodé ou désuet des objets… Ces dernières années, on aura entendu parler à tort et à travers de l’obsolescence. Que révèle cette confusion sémantique? Et surtout quel sens attribuer en définitive à ce terme? Cet ouvrage s’attache à fonder la notion d’obsolescence de façon rigoureuse pour en déployer ensuite les potentialités critiques et leurs multiples résonances avec l’actualité. Ainsi, au fil des chapitres, sont envisagés et questionnés des champs et objets d’études variés, de la pensée de Günther Anders aux courants transhumantes, de la critique de l’«obsolescence programmée» à la discipline architecturale. Avec à chaque fois une même hypothèse: l’idée que l’obsolescence, entrevue comme figure de l’impossible, recèle aussi un formidable potentiel: une ressource incomparable pour relire sous un nouvel angle notre contemporain et ses enjeux.
