Summary:
Ouvrage culte pour les urbanistes et les architectes, Walkscapes fait de la marche beaucoup plus qu'une simple promenade. Pour Francesco Careri, en effet, l'origine de l'architecture n'est pas à chercher dans les sociétés sédentaires mais dans le monde nomade. L'architecture est d'abord traversée des espaces : ce que Careri appelle parcours.

Summary:
Airports have never been more central to the life of cities, yet they have remained relatively peripheral in design discourse. In spite of this, however, landscape architects in recent decades have reaffirmed their historic assertions about the airfield as a site of design through a range of practices. Airport Landscape: Urban Ecologies in the Aerial Age presents these practices through case study projects for the ecological enhancement of operating airports and the conversion of abandoned airports. This material supports the claim of an augmented role for landscape architects commensurate with their desire to be considered urbanists of the aerial age. The book gathers work from the eponymous exhibition that was held at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, presenting the airport as a site of and for landscape.

Longtemps considérée comme le simple résultat des effets de frictions multiples de l’espace sur l’accessibilité des territoires, la notion de mobilité est depuis les dernières décennies l’objet, notamment en sciences sociales, d’une conceptualisation riche et stimulante en matière d’épistémologies, de théories et de méthodologies.

Summary:
Longtemps considérée comme le simple résultat des effets de frictions multiples de l’espace sur l’accessibilité des territoires, la notion de mobilité est depuis les dernières décennies l’objet, notamment en sciences sociales, d’une conceptualisation riche et stimulante en matière d’épistémologies, de théories et de méthodologies. Si de nouvelles façons d’analyser la mobilité peuvent s’affranchir des perspectives purement géographiques, c’est pour mieux rendre compte de la complexité et de l’interdisciplinarité de la mobilité, voire même pour attribuer à cette notion polysémique, peut-être maladroitement, le statut de fait social total (Mauss, 1923). À tout le moins, la mobilité est aujourd’hui une notion incontournable en recherche, en planification et en intervention urbaine.
