Summary:
Based on a workshop held under Bunschoten's guidance, the central question in this book is how to deal with the modern city, a conglomerate of built-up areas scattered over the landscape seemingly without any coherence. A collection of interventions and additions are proposed which offer solutions on both conceptual and structural levels.

Summary:
Cette biographie de Paris retrace la formation et la transformation des quartiers de la capitale, de l'Antiquité à nos jours, en mettant en évidence le rôle des différents acteurs qui ont fait la ville : les rois qui l'ont choisie comme lieu de résidence, les prévôts, les préfets qui l'ont gérée, les architectes, les ingénieurs qui l'ont dessinée et construite, mais aussi les particuliers. De l'enceinte de Philippe Auguste aux grandes percées haussmanniennes, de la place des Vosges à l'habitat social, cette étude passionnante s'affirme tour à tour comme une topographie historique, une histoire de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, mais aussi une histoire politique, sociale, financière et foncière.

Summary:
Ann Pendleton-Jullian tells the story of the Open City in Ritoque, Chile, a designed city still in formation that has no master plan, no imposed ordering devices, and no hierarchical networks of infrastructure. The strange buildings placed among dunes and grasslands reflect instead the mind's translation of urban phenomena and natural phenomena relative to the construction of memory, and a process of composition that is not dependent on stylistic precedents, drawing boards, or academic discourse. Teaching takes place on site and employs poetic methods to activate the design process; the endeavor is considered more important than the result. More than 100 photographs are included, capturing the mystical spirit of the place and of its architecture. With a foreword by Joseph Rykwert.

Summary:
Most people spend an increasing amount of time in soulless, impersonal places: motorways, airports, in front of cash machines, TVs and computers. For the author, this is symptomatic of the experience of "supermodernity" or late-capitalist existence. The invasion of modern life by these "non-places" is central to this work.

Summary:
Most people spend an increasing amount of time in soulless, impersonal places: motorways, airports, in front of cash machines, TVs and computers. For the author, this is symptomatic of the experience of "supermodernity" or late-capitalist existence. The invasion of modern life by these "non-places" is central to this work. The book explores the distinction between "place", encrusted with historical meaning and creative of social life, and "non-place", to which individuals are connected in a uniform, bureaucratic manner and where no organic social life is possible. Translated by John Howe.
