Summary:
In the early twentieth century, America was transformed from a predominantly agricultural nation to one whose population resided mostly in cities. Yet rural areas continued to hold favored status in the country's political life. For prominent figures in the social sciences, city planning, and real estate who were anxious about the future of cities, this obsession with the agrarian past inspired a new campaign for urban reform. They called for ongoing programs of natural resource management to be extended to maintain and improve cities. Jennifer S. Light finds a new understanding of the history of urban renewal in the United States in the rise and fall of the American conservation movement.

Lieu essentiel du musée où sont conservées les œuvres quand elles ne sont pas exposées, les réserves sont restées longtemps dans l'ombre des salles d'expositions. Or, dans la majorité des institutions, seule une infime portion des collections est présentée au public : il y a donc un réel enjeu à penser la relation entre leurs parts visible et invisible, les problématiques liées à leur stockage et leur mouvement, et le travail qu'elles impliquent.

As questions about representation and ethics have increasingly arisen, these institutions have proclaimed their interest in diversity and responsible conservation, asserting both their adaptability and their immovably essential role in a flourishing and culturally rich society. With "Decolonize museums," Shimrit Lee punctures this fantasy, tracing the essentially colonial origins of the concept of the museum.

Le livre d’Emmanuel Pierrat pose la question : quelle est la légitimité de ces revendications ? Sont-elles seulement l’expression de la volonté de récupérer un patrimoine pillé autrefois par les Européens ? Au-delà des querelles sur la conservation des œuvres d’art et leur mise à disposition du public, ces revendications sont devenues un enjeu politique majeur et un point de friction « culturelle » avec des États qui veulent récupérer leur histoire.

Summary:
The positive effects of urban green spaces are well-known, ranging from the promotion of health, support of biodiversity to climate regulation. However, the practical implementation of urban landscapes is less discussed. How can we make these spaces functional, economically feasible and inclusive, especially as cities become more diverse? The publication explores strategies to reconcile the various demands, such as food production, resilience and nature conservation. Indeed, urban landscapes have to be restorative, ecological and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This is a particular challenge in high-density cities like Singapore, Seoul or New York where space is a scarce commodity. The continuing growth of the worldwide urban population imbues the topic with a special urgency.

The creation of pleasant living environments that avoid the simple container of human beings and build spaces of coexistence receptive to the needs of users has been one of the objectives of architectural practice for decades. The projects presented in this book are magnificent recent examples of how architecture can create attractive residential buildings aware of their social function, promoting interaction between users and the harmonious relationship of the community with its natural and urban environment. Likewise, all of them transmit a great sensitivity towards issues such as sustainability, eco efficiency or the integration and conservation of historical and industrial heritage, using construction methods ranging from traditional techniques to the most modern parametric design systems.
