Summary:

Throughout its history, high rise has been a symbol of the welfare state for better or worse. Here, Holly Smith tells a new story from the perspective of those who lived there, exploring how residents grappled with this brave new world above the old skyline. Through a series of historical moments based upon prize-winning research, we confront the human story of high-rise Britain. Interrogating the complex inheritance of mid-century urban reconstruction, Smith shows how these buildings became a crucible for the welfare state’s reimagination over the decades.

On our phones and computer screens, walls and streets, it defines new spaces and experiences—spreading memes, lies, fervor, fact and fiction. In other words, video has transformed the world. Featuring works from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this illuminating exhibition catalog—MoMA’s first major publication on video art in nearly 30 years—explores the ways in which artists have both championed and questioned video’s promise, some hoping to create new networks of communication, democratic engagement and public participation, others protesting commercial and state control over information, vision and truth itself.

Summary:
In the summer of 1934, the London Zoo opened its new Penguin Pool. Designed by Berthold Lubetkin and the Tecton Company, in collaboration with Ove Arup, the elegant, interlocking concrete spiral ramps on which the penguins “showcase their social talents” was met with universal acclaim. In the years since, the structure has been celebrated for its iconic architecture—and has justly been criticized for its inadequacy when it comes to housing penguins. The collective research conducted in the framework of the Bauhaus Lab in 2023 critically reflects on the far-reaching constellations, geographical imaginaries, design discourses and material entanglements of this multi-species environment. Based on archival research and excursions, the publication unfolds multiple epistemologies of the Penguin Pool through a spectrum of theoretical, historical and cultural phenomena straddling the realms of architecture, historiography and more-than-human entanglements, while at the same time proposing contemporary gestures of co-habitation.

Summary:
Has architectural criticism disappeared for good or has it adapted to the pressures, exigencies, and fashions of the present? Its demise may be due to fibrillation or asthenia, to excessive sharp judgment, condemnation, and critique, or, conversely, to a resigned acceptance of reality. But should the eclipse of criticism today be regarded as lamentable? Might not its lack(...)

Summary:
Has architectural criticism disappeared for good or has it adapted to the pressures, exigencies, and fashions of the present? Its demise may be due to fibrillation or asthenia, to excessive sharp judgment, condemnation, and critique, or, conversely, to a resigned acceptance of reality. But should the eclipse of criticism today be regarded as lamentable? Might not its lack be hailed as a new phase of rigor and objectivity? The objective of both the lecture series "The future or the eclipse of criticism" presented at the MAXXI Museum in Rome, and the eponymous symposium which took place at the University of Pisa’s School of Engineering was to identify those figures, exhibitions, publication projects, and paradigmatic constructions that have either supported or directed particular critical approaches.

Summary:
People want a better quality of life now, genuine environmental responsibility, and local control over their own futures. "The urban village" is a seminal intellectual and practical contribution to the construction of such possibilities. It introduces new ideas, like territorial patrimony, and sustainable, local-level autonomous development, describing both the methodological aspects and the visionary, alternative communities which could become possible. Professor Magnaghi sees these as being profoundly democratic, environmentally sustainable, and embodying sufficient local economic strength to resist globalization. Another potential gain would be an increase in social well-being as measured by the quality of life, solidarity, and the development of non-commercial caring relations.

Après les dix conférences de Buenos Aires, en 1929, publiées dans Précisions sur un état présent de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme (1930), cet inédit est le deuxième recueil de conférences de l'architecte.

Après les dix conférences de Buenos Aires, en 1929, publiées dans Précisions sur un état présent de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme (1930), cet inédit est le deuxième recueil de conférences de l'architecte. Et, comme ce fut le cas à Alger, Moscou, Bruxelles, Athènes, Paris, Stockholm, Rome, Buenos Aires, São Paulo ou Montevideo, ces conférences jouèrent un rôle central dans la propagation de ses idées sur l'architecture et l'urbanisme. L'importance de ce recueil tient au fait qu'il permet de mesurer le chemin parcouru par Le Corbusier entre 1929 et 1936, l'évolution de sa " technique " de conférencier - comme il la nomme - et celle de ses idées au cours de ces années particulièrement critiques pour l'Europe et pour le monde. Enfin, à travers les propos transcrits, la reproduction des dessins et des projections, on peut non seulement suivre la manière dont Le Corbusier transmettait son message, mais aussi reconstituer le temps et le rythme des conférences, les commentaires qu'il improvisait en restituent l'ambiance et les moments d'intensité.
