On the one hand, this book explores the proactive value of wild landscapes to improve urban quality, in contemporary terms of beauty, health, and livability; on the other hand, it quesitons the risks of 'wild' as a buzzword that renews anti-urban positions or feeds practices and policies of consensual and cheap-plaudit 'greenery'. The aim is to account for the variety of readings raised by the urban wilderness, which continue to find their discriminating element in the restless relationship between city and nature.

Summary:
"The Unknown City" takes its place in the emerging architectural literature that looks beyond design process and buildings to discover new ways of looking at the urban experience. A multistranded contemplation of the notion of "knowing a place," it is about both the existence and the possibilities of architecture and the city. An important inspiration for the book is the work of Henri Lefebvre, in particular his ideas on space as a historical production. Many of the essays also draw on the social critique and tactics of the Situationist movement. The international gathering of contributors includes art, architectural, and urban historians and theorists; urban geographers; architects, artists, and filmmakers; and literary and cultural theorists. The essays range from abstract considerations of spatial production and representation to such concrete examples of urban domination as video surveillance and Regency London as the site of male pleasure. Although many of the essays are driven by social, cultural, and urban theory, they also tell real stories about real places. Each piece is in some way a critique of capitalism and a thought experiment about how designers and city dwellers working together can shape the cities of tomorrow.

Summary:
Onze grandes illustrations panoramiques, riches en personnages, saynètes, bateaux, éclatés, etc. présentent autant de périodes importantes de la vie d’un port imaginaire de l’Europe du Nord depuis le mésolithique jusqu’à nos jours. Cet ouvrage retrace l’évolution d’un port, depuis son installation dans une baie naturelle jusqu’aux quais modernes actuels. Outre les changements d’architecture, le lecteur suivra aussi les évolutions techniques sur les quais ou dans les bateaux ainsi que les différents types de commerces pratiqués. Progressivement, l’on voit l’origine et la diversité des marchandises s’élargir, depuis un commerce local, puis avec la Méditerranée aux époques romaine et médiévale, l’Atlantique avec la découverte de l’Amérique et enfin toutes les mers du monde. Chaque double page, consacrée à une période particulière, s’ouvre par un texte narratif situant l’époque; dans l’illustration tous les détails sont légendés et clairement expliqués en marge. À la fin de l’ouvrage, un index et aussi des informations historiques sur les ports en général, les types de navires au fil de l’histoire et les grandes routes maritimes et commerciales. Comme dans "Une ville au fil du temps", un petit personnage aux cheveux rouges se promène à travers le temps, créant une animation page après page.

Alliant style et rigueur, il a traité en profondeur des thèmes et évolutions de style majeurs en matière de design industriel, de produit, de structure et d’intérieur. Dans cette nouvelle réédition des tous les numéros des années 1960, le magazine suit les merveilleux projets audacieux et pratiques d’une décennie grisée par le frisson futuriste et l’explosion de la pop culture. Synthétiques et plastiques font leur entrée sur scène, entraînant un design radicalement nouveau, alors que les notions conventionnelles d’élégance laissent la place à des formes expérimentales inédites. Pour qu’une œuvre figure dans le magazine, elle devait allier fonctionnalité, clarté spatiale, persuasion intellectuelle, originalité pertinente et/ou beauté. Parmi les projets et professionnels retenus figurent les mouvements d’anti-design et de design radical, Ray et Charles Eames, Gae Aulenti, Kenzo Tange, Verner Panton, Achill et Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Carlo Scarpa, Angelo Mangiarotti, Cesare Maria Casati et Eero Saarinen.
