Summary:
Bâtiment abandonné, ruine moderne, fantôme urbain, squelette immobilier, structure désaffectée… Une variété d’appellations pour tenter de circonscrire, au moins par les mots, le phénomène d’abandon de fragments entiers de villes. Cet abandon, qu’il soit partiel ou total, temporaire ou durable, est examiné ici au prisme du « potentiel » que pourrait représenter la survivance de ces structures. Ciblant 12 études de cas, cette première édition des Cahiers du Laboratoire d’Étude de l’Architecture Potentielle (LEAP) convoque autour de cette thématique la discipline architecturale, l’histoire de l’art et la sémiotique. De Montréal à Berlin, de Détroit à Turin, la variété des contributions est organisée autour de quatre tensions interrogeant le statut de ces structures (monumentalité/monument), leur échelle (architecture/urbanisme), les figures qu’elles cristallisent (utopie/ruine) et les imaginaires qui s’y développent (résistances/potentiels).

Summary:
"Capsules" investigates the architectural, product design, and urban typology of the capsule which, beginning in the 1960s, broadened the concept of the basic building blocks of architecture to include a minimal living unit, called the "capsule." Here it is presented with regard to the continuity of the development of the Modern Movement, its revisionist criticism, pioneering examples, as well as contemporary examples and uses. The typology of the capsule allows us to consider this theme in terms of the architecture of resistance, with the potential to search for an "other" architecture that is embedded in our contemporaneity.

Summary:
This volume announces the onset of a new era in architecture. It represents a redefinition of the architectural possibilities that were first opened up by Neil Spiller in his cyberspace titles of the late 90s. By looking beyond the present perception of buildings as static architectural objects, Spiller and his contributors concentrate on the potential of buildings to employ dextrous, cutting-edge technologies to create architecture that is reflexive. That is architecture which is highly responsive and intelligent, able to translate and connect to its contextual and environmental surroundings at a new level, while also operating in three or more spaces simultaneously. It is effectively an architecture that is wholly visionary rather than being grounded by the limitations of the present.
