Summary:
At a time when many of the past decades' urban renewal projects are facing the wrecking ball, Detroit's Lafayette Park continues to be a model of urban livability. This in-depth look at the project explores why. Amid the oppressive urban blight of post-World War II Detroit, the Lafayette Park project emerged as a vibrant point of optimism and viability. Planned by Ludwig Hilberseimer, with concrete, glass, and steel buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe, and a park and gardens designed by Alfred This latest volume in the CASE series published in collaboration with the Harvard University's Graduate School of Design examines an often-overlooked paragon of modern architecture's highest goals. Today, while public housing and other urban renewal projects are being abandoned and even torn down, this volume discusses not only the significance of Lafayette Park's singular achievement, but also its relevance to the continuing debates about the status of public housing in the contemporary city.

Summary:
This book presents three independent bodies of work by Henry Wessel, each being a precise sequence arranged to give the viewer the experience of what it felt like to pass through the territory described. The first series “Traffic” shows Wessel’s photos of drivers stuck in traffic as he commuted in the early 1980s from Richmond, California, to San Francisco in the morning rush hour. Wessel records the determination, impatience and blank boredom of his fellow drivers as they navigate a daily drill that seems at times daunting and hopeless. “Sunset Park” is Wessel’s series of night photos of the modest working-class neighborhood of Sunset Park in Santa Monica. Over four years in the mid-1990s, Wessel captured the nocturnal transformation of suburbia into a strange, sometimes eerie,landscape. In his words: “You can’t help but notice how the world is reconfigured by the lights at night. The spot lighting of particular areas, the lack of ambient light, the unnatural way that shadows are cast, all take us to an unfamiliar place…” Wessel’s final series “Continental Divide” takes the viewer on a ride from the dense, suburban flatlands of the Midwest, up across the Rocky Mountains, and down into the sparse desert landscape of the American West. Wessel depicts its houses, shacks, street corners, and the highway, reminding us of the inherent aesthetics of the everyday.

Summary:
Dans cette histoire des sciences et des technologies, Thomas Alva Edison (1847 – 1931) occupe une place centrale – et méritée. Avec son équipe, il a mis au point ou perfectionné un grand nombre d’inventions décisives, qui ont changé le monde – et notre perception du monde : l’enregistrement du son avec le phonographe (1877), l’ampoule électrique durable (1880), la production et la distribution d’éle tricité (1880), le cinéma avec le kinétographe (une caméra, 1891), le kinétoscope (une visionneuse individuelle, 1891), la Black Maria (un studio de cinéma, 1893) et le kinétophone (qui synchronise un kinétoscope et un phonographe, 1895), etc. Il a mis sur pied l’un des premiers laboratoires de recherche industriels, d’abord à Menlo Park, N. J. (1876 – 1886), puis à West Orange, N. J. (1887 – 1931), avec plusieurs associés et un grand nombre de chercheurs salariés, qui travaillaient en parallèle sur des dizaines de projets et déposaient annuellement des centaines de brevets. Pour comme cialiser ses inventions, il a fondé une douzaine de compagnies, dont la Edison General Electric (1890) qui deviendra la General Electric.
