Considérée par la philosophie esthétique comme œuvre imparfaite parce qu'assujettie au besoin et à la nécessité, l'architecture ordinaire est ici l'objet d'un tout autre regard. Habitation, lieu de travail, de culte ou de simple passage, elle est montrée au contraire comme l'endroit d'une expérience éminemment esthétique en ce qu'elle donne accès au plus profond de notre(...)

Summary:
Considérée par la philosophie esthétique comme œuvre imparfaite parce qu'assujettie au besoin et à la nécessité, l'architecture ordinaire est ici l'objet d'un tout autre regard. Habitation, lieu de travail, de culte ou de simple passage, elle est montrée au contraire comme l'endroit d'une expérience éminemment esthétique en ce qu'elle donne accès au plus profond de notre être-au-monde. Laissant à d'autres la vénération immobile de l'architecture monumentale, l'autrice chemine sans masque dans l'infinie complexité des émotions et des sensations suscitées par ces espaces du quotidien. Sont éveillés en nous, dit-elle, tandis que l'on s'y meut, le sentiment d'être à sa place, celui d'être vivant, de battre à l'unisson du monde. Cette version dynamique de l'esthétique architecturale, qui recourt aux concepts de rythme, d'ambiance et d'atmosphère, s'affirme comme résolument contemporaine et, à ce titre, comme une source d'inspiration à la fois nouvelle et indispensable.

Dans les dernières années, des actes de vandalisme « antigentrification » visant des petits commerces ont considérablement tendu le débat public montréalais, désormais polarisé entre les tenants d'une revitalisation des quartiers en déclin et une mouvance critique cherchant à attirer l'attention sur les inégalités de classes dans l'appropriation de l'espace urbain.

Summary:
Dans les dernières années, des actes de vandalisme « antigentrification » visant des petits commerces ont considérablement tendu le débat public montréalais, désormais polarisé entre les tenants d'une revitalisation des quartiers en déclin et une mouvance critique cherchant à attirer l'attention sur les inégalités de classes dans l'appropriation de l'espace urbain. Ces événements parfois violents, médiatisés jusque dans la presse nationale, ont placé bien malgré eux les entrepreneurs visés dans un conflit de classes qui dépasse largement les frontières de leur quartier. Des rues qui changent rassemble les résultats de deux enquêtes menées entre 2012 et 2017 dans deux quartiers anciens du centre de Montréal, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve et Saint-Henri–Petite Bourgogne. A partir d'entretiens qualitatifs, de données d'archives et de statistiques, il reconstitue près de 50 années de transformations sociales et économiques de ces deux zones qui ont longtemps symbolisé, dans l'imaginaire montréalais, l'archétype du quartier ouvrier. Ce faisant, l'ouvrage permet de dépasser le caractère souvent manichéen des débats actuels pour offrir une analyse riche et nuancée de cette composante essentielle de la ville contemporaine.

Summary:
Through a lively poststructuralist and postcolonial framework, this book explores issues of preservation, identity, meaning, and change, comparing how the Chandigarh we see today compares to the original plans and drawings. But this book also asks whether Chandigarh’s aesthetics, as well as the ethical tenets on which it was based, are still relevant to urban planning and architecture today. What lessons, if any, does the utopian ethos within modernism offer in the face of the climate crisis, rising authoritarianism, and the digital explosion? Via chapters focused on the hydrologics of the master plan, the symbolism of the Capitol buildings, and the archeology of the unbuilt Museum of Knowledge, this book makes the future-preservation case for Chandigarh as an ‘open’ work, a project that was set up by design to be ‘completed’ by others in times yet to come.

Summary:
Do you know how to design for a circular economy? A truly sustainable, circular economy is both a robust and viable option for architecture. Through 24 inspirational case studies, interviews and essays, this book is an accessible and practical guide to how architects can move from a linear economy towards a circular economy. This atlas to sustainable, closed-loop systems takes the reader on a journey through four distinct steps (Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Circular Economy) that show how they can dramatically reduce the negative impact humans have on the planet. It gives architects the skills and knowledge to navigate through the emerging fields of resource management towards a true Circular Economy. Each step is supplemented with an in-depth interview with an expert who is successfully tacking one or more of the challenges facing all designers today. If we change our behaviour, we enable humanity to work with nature rather than against it.

Summary:
The architectural work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt (1890–1954/1889–1972) is not yet adequately appreciated. As members of the Glass Chain initiative and the Ring collective, they shaped, especially through their work with Alfons Anker, the development of Modernist architecture in the 1920s, as evidenced by their winning design for the layout of Berlin’s Alexanderplatz. While their early work was anchored in utopian expressionism, a more objective attitude emerged later, based on the application of new architectural constructs. The book documents all 40 of Hans und Wassili Luckhardt’s realized buildings. Two essays deal with the unbuilt and utopian projects. Newly taken photographs and newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn complement the historical illustrations.

Summary:
Sediment is an unseen infrastructure that shapes and enables modern life. Silt is scooped from sea floors to deepen underwater highways for container ships. It is diverted from river basins to control flooding. It is collected, sorted, managed, and moved to reshape deltas, marshes, and beaches. Anthropogenic action now moves more sediment annually than "natural" geologic processes — yet this global reshaping of the earth’s surface is rarely-discussed and poorly-understood.

Summary:
The firm Christoph Hesse Architects addresses the challenges of rural areas by questioning and reinterpreting traditional structures of villages and landscapes in unconventional ways. Raised on a farm in the Hochsauerland region of Germany, Christoph Hesse brings his deep connection to nature and agricultural life to the projects, which are often developed in collaboration with local and international partners. Focusing on five central themes, "Rural rebellion" presents a selection of spatial interventions through striking models, large-scale panoramic drawings, films, portrait photos and statements by the "Rural rebels". The exhibition illustrates how the projects create social, environmental and economical focal points, enabling a future-oriented transformation – one that not only improves life in the countryside, but also redefines it as a source of innovation and societal progress.
