Summary:
In a very short time America has realized that global warming poses real challenges to the nation's future. "The Agile City "engages the fundamental question: what to do about it? Journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell argues that we'll more quickly slow global-warming -and blunt its effects- by retrofitting cities, suburbs, and towns. "The Agile City" shows that change undertaken at the building and community level can reach carbon-reduction goals rapidly. Russell highlights tactics that create multiplier effects, which means that ecologically driven change can shore-up economic opportunity, can make more productive workplaces, and can help revive neglected communities.

Cette publication propose une synthèse des aspects fondamentaux du travail de Le Corbusier – théoricien, artiste, architecte – dont les apports ont été déterminants pour la conception des lieux d’exposition au XXème siècle. A travers un parcours chronologique et thématique, le catalogue présente les étapes les plus significatives de la recherche et création d’un nouvel espace architectural, en même temps plastique et sensoriel, lié à la phénoménologie du dynamisme perceptif. Le Corbusier expose, montre ainsi le rapport entre les recherches plastiques de Charles-Edouard Jeanneret – le nom de naissance de Le Corbusier, celui-ci étant son pseudonyme – et l’intégration progressive dans son oeuvre d’éléments de la perception de l’espace en tant que catégorie plastique. Un ensemble d’oeuvres précoces unit ces deux pôles: la maison de l’artiste apporte les données initiales, l’existence d’une collection d’art moderne fonde le nouvel art d’habiter, l’expérience du pavillon d’exposition suscite la recherche d’un programme d’aménagement intérieur minimum où l’oeuvre plastique et la peinture murale constituent le point de départ, le musée étant le véritable programme de l’architecture moderne. Jeanneret, le peintre, a choisi un processus d’exposition expérimental tout au long de sa vie de créateur, en partant d’une activité critique et développant une série de propositions très originales pour la présentation de ses oeuvres plastiques, que ce soit des affiches, des lithographies, des dessins, des sculptures ou des tapis, et surtout ses tableaux.

Pour les historiens et les architectes, la maison rurale n’est encore le plus souvent que l’ombre des palais et des temples. Les voyageurs en revanche nous ont laissé des observations et des croquis précieux sur cet habitat. En quoi la maison paysanne consiste-t-elle vraiment? Est-elle un objet à classer en fonction de typologies forgées par les architectes et les ethnographes, ou un produit de l’imaginaire et d’une certaine idée de la vie rurale, née au 19e siècle?

Summary:
This collection of a number of key essays by the New York-based architect and writer Mark Rakatansky proposes an innovative framework for architecture to enact the complex tectonic dramas of social and culture space. Following its title, the book is arrayed in three sections: Tectonic, Acts of, Desire and Doubt. In each, Rakatansky covers a series of subjects in a writerly voice that varies from the third-person narrative of the scholarly essays to the transcript of an email exchange with fellow academic Sarah Whiting discussing recent books by architect Greg Lynn. Transformational performances of architectural identity are explored in discussions of fabrication, social parametrics, building envelopes, spatial narratives, animation, migrancy, and in illuminating readings into the works of Louis Kahn, Robin Evans, John Coltrane, Giulio Romano and Andrea Palladio.

This reflection also forms part of one of our work’s most critical aspect…” reveals Bijoy Jain, the founder of Studio Mumbai. The Studio is a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build the work directly.
