Summary:
Comment le projet urbain peut contribuer à faire la ville durable. Face aux peurs liées aux dérèglements environnementaux, aux crises économiques et sociales, le renouveau des projets urbains est un message d'espoir. Ce livre présente des projets urbains innovants qui dessinent une nouvelle donne, renouent avec des savoirs anciens, mettent des techniques en constante progression au service des projets et assument un rôle croissant de la société civile. Affrontant le triple défi de la connaissance, de l'engagement politique et de l'évolution comportementale et démocratique, les projets urbains, qui savent établir des liens entre les hommes, les espaces et les fonctions, sont capables d'anticiper l'avenir et d'oeuvrer à une meilleure équité sociale et territoriale.

Fragments of Wilderness City reviews the work of renowned architect Brian Avery. This publication presents perspectives from academics and architecture historians, exploring projects in India and the Middle East; major cultural commissions such as the National Film Theatre, the Museum of the Moving Image, London Transport Museum, and the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts' headquarters in Bloomsbury, London; masterplanning work for Oxford Street in London, The Horniman Museum, and the Avenue of the Emirates in Abu Dhabi. Alongside profiles of their innovative work in product design and within the workplace is an essay by director Bryan Avery, providing insights into his notion of the sustainable 'wilderness city'. This manifesto sets out a vision of an accountable architectural and planning approach to the contemporary city, situated in a natural landscape and taking on board references to both the walled cities of the medieval period and the self-contained urban environments of the twentieth century 'new towns'.

Entre le fleuve et la montagne, le Vieux-Port, l’arrondissement historique, le parc du Mont-Royal, les églises, l’espace public, le campus de l’Université de Montréal, la salle de l’Orchestre symphonique de Montréal passent sous la loupe d’investigations sans complaisance et soigneusement documentées. On découvre ainsi, sur le fond de toile de 400 ans d’histoire urbaine, les enjeux de l’aménagement d’une ville méticuleusement particularisée, dont ni l’esprit ni les formes ne peuvent s’accommoder de principes empruntés ou de solutions faciles. Les 24 chroniques que rassemble cette anthologie invitent à penser Montréal demain tout en n’ignorant jamais les parcours temporels et spatiaux, politiques et sociaux qui ont forgé la ville autour de nous : ils forment son identité.

Summary:
Author Christopher Beorkrem shows how material performance drives the digital fabrication process and determines technique. He has recreated and dissected thirty-six of the most progressive works of architecture of the last few years, with perspectives from the designers so that you can learn from the successes and failures of each project. Including step-by-step diagrams and using consistent language and the simplest construction techniques, he identifies the important characteristics of each material, including connection types, relative costs, deformation, color, texture, finish, dimensional properties, durability, and weathering and waterproofing to link the design outcomes to form. The book is divided into five parts by material – wood, metal, concrete, hybrids, and recycled – to help you reference construction techniques for the fabrication machines you have on-hand.
