D’où le terme « politesse ». Au contact des autres, nous adaptons notre manière d’être et de vivre, nous tissons des liens et édictons, sans les nommer ou les verbaliser, des règles qui prescrivent des conduites.Comment demander l’addition au restaurant ? Doit-on signifier au chef que la nourriture qu’on nous a servie est infecte ? Doit-on faire la file pour attendre l’autobus ? Ces situations qui paraissent simples sont aussi complexes que peuvent l’être les individus. Qui a envie aujourd’hui d’un guide de savoir-vivre sur le Québec ? Personne ! Et ça tombe bien puisque ce livre irrévérentieux n’est pas un guide, mais une compilation d’observations des manières d’agir et de vivre à Montréal en ce début du XXIe siècle.

Whether arranged in a semicircle or horseshoe, as opposing benches or classroom style, the seats in these halls not only offer clues to a nation’s history, but also the atmosphere in which its laws are shaped. Comparing contexts between divergent geographical locations and governments, both democratic and authoritarian, the lexicon addresses these spaces as more than symbolic representations of national values, portraying them as actors in the shaping of our shared future.

Buildings are chunks of the material of the natural world, refashioned by humans and set down into place to stand as silent as the rocks and trees from which they were made.

Summary:
Why write about buildings? Buildings are chunks of the material of the natural world, refashioned by humans and set down into place to stand as silent as the rocks and trees from which they were made. How can we describe that mute actuality? A building’s only complete description is itself. Writing often intensifies the cloud that obscures buildings rather than dissipates it. So why do it? Two generations ago, architects had a real job to do, rebuilding cities shattered by war. It turned out to be more difficult than it looked. Now the grandchildren of those utopians have a different role, which is to rescue a world that is being turned by the media, the money men and the machines into a replica of itself. In this book Paul Shepheard takes a sideways look at this elusive task and finds himself writing an ode to buildings, which asks: What are they? When do they happen? And how are they used?

The inventive economy has also led to new lifestyle choices and a new role for the architect and architectural practice. We talk of an architecture that is either pre-crisis or post-crisis, the latter resulting in a call for responsible architecture (affordable, sustainable, attainable, and healthy). This development led to changes in the UNStudio practice; with the introduction of Knowledge Platforms and the development from a network to a knowledge practice. Now compiled into an inspiring publication,Knowledge Matterswill help architects to run a better studio and to share knowledge.
