Summary:
Contemporary artist Zoe Crosher takes the viewer on an exploratory journey inside the impersonal and transient travel world surrounding the mega international airport, LAX. She finds a landscape packed with identical hotel chains pushed up against giant billboards, where the words “hotel” and “taxi” are understood by nearly everyone.

Summary:
Contemporary artist Zoe Crosher takes the viewer on an exploratory journey inside the impersonal and transient travel world surrounding the mega international airport, LAX. She finds a landscape packed with identical hotel chains pushed up against giant billboards, where the words “hotel” and “taxi” are understood by nearly everyone. Crosher methodically settled into a different hotel room each day and photographed out the window. The only requirement was that the view from each room must duplicate the one she inhabited before. The pattern of the drapes change, the color of the stucco exterior changes and the airplanes caught in mid flight move through the atmosphere, but the basic view stays the same. There is a haunting familiarity that one has never really left the first room, a feeling of complete déjà-vu. Time and identity almost cease to exist. For Crosher, her very quiet, minimal images create huge questions about place, identity, the homogenization of global cultures.

Summary:
À l'aube du XXIe siècle, il est communément admis que la nature, au même titre que le construit, est un artefact, une élaboration humaine. C'est clair, c'est l'héritage du XXe siècle. Ce qui est nouveau, toutefois, c'est que notre environnement, naturel et construit, soit désormais perçu, tant au plan symbolique que littéral, comme source de danger. La nature, la montagne(...)

Summary:
À l'aube du XXIe siècle, il est communément admis que la nature, au même titre que le construit, est un artefact, une élaboration humaine. C'est clair, c'est l'héritage du XXe siècle. Ce qui est nouveau, toutefois, c'est que notre environnement, naturel et construit, soit désormais perçu, tant au plan symbolique que littéral, comme source de danger. La nature, la montagne et l'air notamment, tout comme la ville en termes génériques, menacent l'être humain. Lothar, les avalanches de février 1999, les éboulements, sans parler des champs électromagnétiques et des gaz azotés, ont envahi les médias ; leurs images côtoient désormais celles, un peu fanées, des océans lointains aux eaux transparentes. En même temps, ce monde, où chacun prend les risques individuels les plus fous (base jumping, ski extrême...), n'accepte plus le risque collectif. Les ouvrages de protection se multiplient (digues, murs, etc.) et envahissent le paysage, sans discernement, avec la vigueur et la bonne conscience de l'investissement " utile " parce que nécessaire. Dans ce contexte, une réflexion architecturale doit s'engager. L'ouvrage de protection ne pourrait-il pas accueillir d'autres programmes ? La digue ne pourrait-elle pas être à la fois paravalanche et hôtel ? La chemise de protection d'un gros transformateur en milieu urbain ne pourrait-elle pas être tout ensemble mur et habitation ? Ce qui est hostile peut-il être hospitalier ? Ne pourrait-on pas habiter la menace ? Dans cet ouvrage, subtilement illustré, les textes d'un philosophe et d'une géographe côtoient ceux de quatre architectes dont les projets expriment le plaisir de renouveler une pensée architecturale qui apprivoiserait la menace, de repenser une pratique où faire, ce serait faire d'une pierre deux coups...
