Summary:
Du Parthénon à la postmodernité, de Platon à Merleau-Ponty, Amaldi propose une histoire de la pensée architecturale et de la perception de l’espace, en même temps qu’une phénoménologie du vide et du plein, de la ligne et du mouvement. Qu’est-ce que la profondeur, comment la perspective en rend-elle compte, qu’est-ce en fin de compte que l’espace, pour nous qui l’habitons(...)

Amaldi saisit l’architecture non comme un problème historique ou technique, mais comme une donnée fondamentale de notre perception et de notre sensibilité.

La publication par les architectes américains Robert Venturi et Denise Scott Brown de Learning from Las Vegas, d’abord sous forme d’articles puis de livre, a entrainé à partir de 1968 une controverse sans équivalent dans l’histoire moderne de l’architecture.

L’historien Stanislaus von Moos a parlé à ce propos d’« une polarisation de pratiquement l’ensemble du champ architectural — et pas seulement en Amérique — entre les opposants et les sympathisants des supposées ou réelles positions des Venturi. » En revenant sur les nombreux arguments mobilisés alors par les architectes, les critiques et les universitaires, et en observant la dynamique des débats sur une durée de vingt ans, Valéry Didelon éclaire ici d’un jour nouveau l’émergence du postmodernisme en architecture, mouvement culturel dont Learning from Las Vegas allait devenir à tort ou à raison l’un des principaux manifestes.

Conceived by a misguided government seeking to quiet the fears of an anxious public, the concept of the “Family Fallout Shelter” was Cold War paranoia at its finest, a massive bit of “propaganda by architecture” that has no more truth behind it than the absurd notion of “duck and cover.” Inundated with government-sponsored films, posters, booklets, traveling caravans and(...)

Summary:
Conceived by a misguided government seeking to quiet the fears of an anxious public, the concept of the “Family Fallout Shelter” was Cold War paranoia at its finest, a massive bit of “propaganda by architecture” that has no more truth behind it than the absurd notion of “duck and cover.” Inundated with government-sponsored films, posters, booklets, traveling caravans and exhibitions, the American family bought into the idea, investing millions of dollars in home shelters of every conceivable material and design. Bomboozled charts the panic-fueled evolution of the shelter from a well-stocked basement pantry to a full-fledged (and often completely decorated) home addition, laying bare the buried truths of America’s family fallout shelter obsession.

Summary:
Welcome to Finland, a young land experiencing a rapidly aging consciousness, where newly founded institutions are already outmoded and geographic impediments are a constant crippling agent. The latest addition to international prankster/deep thinker Ingo Niermann's Solution series, this wryly entertaining book addresses the Nordic country's numerous predicaments. The three Finnish authors offer solutions to their native country's quandaries, ranging from the absurd (the implementation of fiction-mongering emissaries to boost tourism) to the earnest and probably half-serious (the repurposing of the country to host nuclear waste). The book elucidates the northern country's modern history as a nation under construction, proposing that its identity remain a malleable myth.

Summary:
One of the greatest challenges for art and culture is to represent diversity. But what precisely does this term mean and why does it so often placate rather than produce what it names? Professor Steven Vertovec, Director of the Max-Planck-Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity (Göttingen, Germany) puts forward the notion of “super-diversity,” noting “the need to re-evaluate conceptions and policy measures surrounding diversity by way of moving beyond an ethno-focal understanding and adopting a multidimensional approach.” Developing this idea further, while aiming to question and complicate the focus on immigration in the current debate, the prolific and provocative scholar and activist Tariq Ramadan weighs in on the subject. In the resulting essay, translated into Dutch and Arabic, Professor Ramadan sets out an argument that foregrounds universalism as a necessary, if devalued, horizon and offers a critique of the uses and limits of dialogue and discourse within the day-to-day practice of super-diversity.

Summary:
The Auschwitz Museum was established in 1947 as a monument to the Polish resistance. In the late eighties Hans Citroen met Barbara Starzynska and he ended up visiting her relatives in Owicim, the city where his grandfather survived KZ Auschwitz. He noticed many incongruities that did not seem to disturb other visitors. Looking for an explanation, they talked with archivists and curators and explored the sites many times. Their research covers mostly the years that followed the Holocaust. Bit by bit, they find a hidden city, Barbara as architect, Hans as artist. The story of the search reads like a novel and therefore is a substantial part of this photographic investigation. Also available as a German and a Dutch edition.
