Summary:
The automobile has shaped the appearance of our streets for 100 years now. At the same building types have been created to serve it. Parking garages and gas stations as new species of architecture and showrooms whose exhibition spaces and display windows are markedly different from the usual businesses have decisively changed the cities. This book is dedicated to this type of architecture, showing esthetic and technical solutions of the past few years. Not a few architects have been unmistakable 'car freaks' (Frank Lloyd Wright), or been occupied with the automobile (Le Corbusier: Maison Citrohan), or have actually designed cars (Walter Gropius for Adler). This fascination of the profession can also be seen in the architecture built for the automobile today.

Summary:
Aerotropolis is an account of a development that is transforming the way cities are built and the way business is conducted from Vancouver to Singapore and from Dubai to Denver. John Kasarda invented the term "aerotropolis" to describe the combination of giant airport, planned city, shipping facility, and business hub that will connect the world's economies in the coming phase of globalization. With business writer Greg Lindsay, he draws on a decade's worth of cutting-edge research to offer a visionary look at how the metropolis of the future will change the face of our physical world and the nature of global enterprise. Aerotropolis shows us how to make the most of a phenomenon that is profoundly challenging but that also offers unparalleled opportunities.

Summary:
There are an estimated 600,000,000 passenger cars in the world, and that number is increasing every day. So too is Earth’s supply of parking spaces. In some cities, parking lots cover more than one-third of the metropolitan footprint. It’s official:we have paved paradise and put up a parking lot. In this publication,author Eran Ben-Joseph shares a different vision for parking’s future. Parking lots, he writes, are ripe for transformation. After all, as he points out, their design and function has not been rethought since the 1950s. With this book, Ben-Joseph pushes the parking lot into the twenty-first century. Can’t parking lots be aesthetically pleasing, environmentally and architecturally responsible? Used for something other than car storage? Ben-Joseph shows us that they can. He provides a visual history of this often ignored urban space, introducing us to some of the many alternative and nonparking purposes that parking lots have served - from RV campgrounds to stages for “Shakespeare in the Parking Lot.” He shows us parking lots that are not concrete wastelands but lushly planted with trees and flowers and beautifully integrated with the rest of the built environment. With purposeful design, Ben-Joseph argues, parking lots could be significant public places, contributing as much to their communities as great boulevards, parks, or plazas. For all the acreage they cover, parking lots have received scant attention. It’s time to change that; it’s time to rethink the lot.

Between the 1930s and 1960s, the spread of new transportation networks and the democratization of paid vacations struck many observers as a sign that tourism was growing into a folkway of modern American life.

Il y a dans l'idée de globalisation, et chez ceux qui s'en réclament, une idée de l'achèvement du monde et de l'arrêt du temps qui dénote une absence d'imagination et un engluement dans le présent qui sont profondément contraires à l'esprit scientifique et à la morale politique. Il nous faut aujourd'hui repenser la frontière, cette réalité sans cesse déniée et sans cesse réaffirmée. Il faut repenser la notion de frontière pour essayer de comprendre les contradictions qui affectent l'histoire contemporaine. Une frontière n'est pas un barrage; c'est un passage. Les frontières ne s'effacent jamais, elles se redessinent. La frontière a toujours une dimension temporelle : c'est la forme de l'avenir et, peut-être, de l'espoir. Voilà ce que ne devraient pas oublier les idéologues du monde contemporain qui souffrent tour à tour de trop d'optimisme ou de trop de pessimisme, de trop d'arrogance dans tous les cas.
