L'angoisse de l'ingénieur

Price:
$11.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Avec L'Angoisse de l'ingénieur, texte à valeur de manifeste, Ernst Bloch démontre le piège que l'homme se tend à lui-même. Sentiment en vérité archaïque, l'angoisse trouve une forme nouvelle dans la quête perpétuelle d'un accès à l'inconnu, dont on ne peut mesurer encore les conséquences. De cette tension naît l'angoisse, autrefois reliée à l’obscure et toute-puissante(...)

L'antique démonisme n'est jamais loin, lorsque l'ingénieur freine en dernier ressort son avancée.

The economist studies the elasticity of supply and demand of market forces. “The Pars Foundation” draws researchers out of their specialized niches in order to publish their brilliant, crazy, important, or bewildering results and assembles them in this interdisciplinary volume. There are no guidelines for the form their contributions must take. It may be images, poems, essays, sketches, formulas or a piece of sculpture; the editors only ask that a contribution reect the respondent’s own field as well as his or her passion for the topic.

Plasticité du béton, titre du premier numéro, reprend la conférence de l’architecture suisse Christian Dupraz présentée à Genève le 8 septembre 2012, lors des journées européennes du patrimoine consacrées à la pierre et au béton. Associée à la réalisation de surfaces concaves et convexes, la gunite est le mélange de béton et de sable permettant la projection de la matière et sa solidification dans des formes complexes. L’application de cette technique est historiquement liée au développement des coques et à la recherche exigeante d’ingénieurs (Eduardo Torroja, Heinz Isler, Ulrich Müther,…) mais également au formidable questionnement des architectes pour une valorisation de la forme libre (Pascal Haüsermann, Vittorio Giorgini, Jacques Couëlle…). Ce parallélisme entre la démarche maîtrisée des uns et la quête aléatoire des autres nous renseigne sur la grande vitalité de notre histoire.
