Summary:
Cities after the Fall of Communism traces the cultural reorientation of East European cities since 1989. Analyzing the architecture, commemorative practices, and urban planning of cities such as Lviv, Vilnius, and Odessa, the contributors to this volume demonstrate how history may be selectively re-imagined in light of present political and cultural realities. These essays show that while East European cities gravitate nostalgically toward Habsburg, Baltic, Imperial Russian, and Germanic pasts, they are also embracing new urban identities grounded in ethnic-national, European, Western, and global contexts.

Summary:
L'urbanisation accélérée de notre globe lance un défi inédit aux disciplines relatives à la transformation du cadre de vie. Aménagement du territoire, urbanisme et architecture sont confrontés à l'installation de nouvelles populations dans des territoires de plus en plus étendus, à l'artificialisation accrue du sol, à la domestication de la nature. Le phénomène, critiqué pour ses désavantages écologiques et exorcisé comme copie conforme de l'urban sprawl américain, est néanmoins fermement ancré dans le passé de la ville européenne. Au fait, la dissolution urbaine s'avère avant tout un projet spatial finement élaboré, une vision de société élaborée au sein de notre modernité. Cet ouvrage entreprend sa mise en perspective, notamment à travers l'œuvre de Rudolf Schwarz (1897-1962), personnalité exceptionnelle dans l'histoire de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme. Son projet de Stadtlandschaft, visant à la fois une fusion de la ville dans la nature et la citadinité étalée dans l'ensemble du territoire, exemplifie la recherche pour la forme d'une véritable et durable ville-paysage.

A chaque trajet, de cette matière fascinante et profuse, on enrichit le détail par écrit, sans revenir sur l'état premier. Travail du regard sur ces apparitions répétées, fragmentaires, discontinues, afin d'inscrire la réalité dans un espace recréé jusqu'à ce que forme et construction l'emportent sur le chaos de la vision - beauté arrachée à un paysage dévasté pourtant tellement riche d'humanité.

Or, l'observation des interactions entre land art, art public, mobilité, tourisme et photographie - considérée dans sa forme artistique ou comme pratique commune - montre que l'apport de l'art, en dépit de la tendance actuelle qui tend à l'occulter à mesure que les enjeux paysagers suscitent une attention grandissante, reste fondamental. Cet ouvrage propose ainsi un regard critique sur les modalités contemporaines d'élaboration, de perception et d'appréciation des paysages.
