Summary:
A collection of primary sources chosen by the research fellows ''Centring Africa: Postcolonial Perspectives on Architecture'', Doreen Adengo, Dele Adeyemo, Warebi Gabriel Brisibe and Ramota Obagah-Stephen, Rachel Lee and Monika Motylinska, Ikem Stanley Okoye, Cole Roskam, Lukasz Stanek, and Huda Tayob. ''Fugitive Archives'' is not a book about African architecture or its history. It is a book about the role of primary research in the work of the fellows and about how, to centre Africa in histories of modern architecture, they had to develop new ways of finding, seeing, and listening. The sources presented here are starting points for dismantling and expanding existing architectural archives, in which what is considered valuable enough to archive remains dominated by colonial or Western knowledge frameworks. Through varied media and formats, the sources multiply narratives by highlighting diverse actors, practices, and geographies—on and off the continent—implicated in the history of modern African architecture. Rather than suggesting key, but inevitably reductive, themes, this book brings the fellows and their sources into dialogue in three sections that foreground similar methods and challenges to locating, accessing, reading, and constructing otherwise fugitive archives.

Summary:
Contrairement à ce que suggèrent la plupart des histoires, la Seconde Guerre mondiale à été un moment fondamental dans la modernisation tant théorique que pratique de l'architecture. Architecture en uniforme ouvre de nouvelles perspectives sur l'histoire architecturale de la guerre, rendant compte des épisodes qui se sont succédé entre le bombardement de Guernica en 1937 et celui d'Hiroshima en 1945, et qui ont conduit à la suprématie définitive des langages modernes. Les thèmes parcourus, comme le rôle des villes dans la guerre aérienne, les nouveaux bâtiments des usines, la participation directe de l'architecture à la guerre, les mégaprojets et les développements dans la vie civile après la guerre, révèlent l'ampleur de la contribution des architectes à tous les aspects de la mobilisation totale de ces années douloureuses.

Summary:
Contrary to what is suggested by most historical accounts, the Second World War was a key moment in the modernisation of architectural theory and practice. Architecture in Uniform offers a new perspective on the architectural history of the war, documenting a series of episodes that took place between the bombings of Guernica in 1937 and Hiroshima in 1945, leading to the definitive supremacy of modernism in architecture. It discusses topics such as the role of cities in the air war, the new buildings erected for industrial production, architecture's participation in actual warfare, and wartime mega-projects and post-war developments in the civilian sphere, revealing the extent of the contribution made by architects to all aspects of the mobilisation that characterised the war years.

Summary:
Alors que les débats politiques contemporains abordent de plus en plus la question de la santé, les urbanistes et les architectes tentent eux aussi de répondre à ces préoccupations sociétales. En imparfaite santé : la médicalisation de l’architecture étudie la complexité, la corrélation et l’émergence de ces problèmes sanitaires contemporains au travers des réponses architecturales et urbaines proposées. Les disciplines du design traitent de ces peurs et de ces inquiétudes en intégrant les paradigmes médicaux à leurs projets et en faisant parfois leurs principes mêmes de conception d'environnements thérapeutiques. En imparfaite santé explore les liens historiques entre ces disciplines, la santé et l'environnement. Mettant en lumière les incertitudes et les contradictions associées à la notion de santé telles qu,elles sont actualisée dans la médecine occidentale, cet ouvrage insiste sur la nécessité d'une méthodologie autre par laquelle l'urbanisme, l'architecture et le paysagisme, au lieu de guérir, pourraient s'attacher à prendre soin des habitants et de leur environnement.
