Summary:
In the middle of the night they quickly build houses and seize land before the police destroy their fragile homes. They're squatters, families that risk the wrath of governments and property owners by building dwellings on land they don't own, and they represent one out of every ten people on the planet. Investigative journalist Robert Neuwirth lived among squatter communities from Rio to Bombay to Nairobi to Istanbul to give us an impassioned, inside view of squatter life and a glimpse into the urban future. He met people in Nairobi who built homes with their bare hands, Turkish families who plot land invasions, and children in Rio whose parents justify outfoxing the authorities as the only path to a better life. And he shows us that in cities like Rio, squatter settlements have become decent places to live for formerly landless people. Tracing the notion of private property from the enclosure movement in Europe to the settlement of the U.S., Neuwirth shows how squatting rights may actually be seen as more "natural" than the current laws practiced in the U.S. In almost every country of the developing world, the most active builders are squatters, creating complex local economies with high rises, shopping strips, banks, and self-government. As they invent new social structures, Neuwirth argues, squatters are at the forefront of the worldwide movement to develop new visions of what constitutes property and community.

Summary:
What can be done to create a mental and physical connection of the HafenCity and the river Elbe to the city of Hamburg and its inhabitants? This was the guiding idea of an international competition of 15 schools of architecture of three continents. The responsibles for the town planning of Hamburg and especially the HafenCity are convinced that the city of Hamburg has to abandon a part of its old attractive harbour and must give up the partly reserved attitude concerning the river Elbe. Consequently initiated by the architect and professor Dr. Peter Sturzebecher, Hamburg faces new ideas that have officially opened a reflection among the students and their professor about the new centre of the HafenCity and, in addition, about the second motorway bridge crossingthe harbour south of the Elbe. The resultats of the competition being presented close to the official model of the whole HafenCity in october 2003, results that are seen by thousands, have incited political courage and a certain destabilisation giving room for critical questions concerning the actual planning.

Summary:
Europan 2003 is a call for ideas to revitalize suburban life in Europe. With 68 sites across the continent to choose from, the design theme this time round is 'Suburban challenge, urban intensity and housing diversity'. Transforming the post-war growth areas into enduring urban districts with a diversity of house types and up-to-date amenities is an issue of great relevance in Europe today. Over 280 projects were submitted for the Dutch sites by young architects from the Netherlands and beyond. The winning designs will be announced at the end of January 2004 during a special event at the Netherlands Architecture Institute when an exhibition of all the submitted plans will be opened. The book "Europan 7: Suburban challenge, urban intensity and housing diversity" gives an overview of the prizewinners, exhaustively documenting their design proposals with model photographs, plans and conceptual sketches. Interviews with the designers shed further light on the projects. The project section of the book also includes an essay on the central theme of urban intensity, a description of the four Dutch sites and an analysis of the entries from a European perspective.

La notion de ville est une nébuleuse dans laquelle on se perd avec plus ou moins de bonheur et il n'est plus certain que l'on puisse continuer à penser la ville contemporaine en termes propres à notre culture européenne des 19e et 20e siècles. Tel un tissu vivant, les espaces qui la composent sont remodelés, transformés pour s'adapter aux nouvelles formes de mobilité et au processus de modification fonctionnelle d'une entité toujours croissante, constamment densifiée mais toujours vibrante. La ville est aussi lieu d'échange à la fois constructif et destructeur, lieu de forte densité et de grande béance, lieu d'attirance et de répulsion. Et c'est paradoxalement dans l'interstice de ces dialectiques qu'elle peut trouver son avenir. Comment la pensée architecturale peut-elle y contribuer ? En quoi l'architecture des villes peut-elle construire la ville et participer à la planification urbaine ?

Architecte de renommée mondiale, et l'un des plus grands architectes français vivants, Henri Gaudin ne donne pourtant pas là un traité d'architecture, mais bel et bien le livre d'un authentique écrivain. Pratiquant au plus haut degré ce que l'on peut appeler la vie avec la pensée, Henri Gaudin, avec cet ouvrage, invite le lecteur à partager un véritable itinéraire philosophique et spirituel, inscrivant sa démarche dans la longue durée et mettant pleinement en lumière ce que l'homme est en droit d'attendre, selon lui, de l'urbanisme en général et de l'urbanisme moderne en particulier. Somme considérable, faisant appel à toutes les sciences humaines et nous guidant à travers diverses civilisations, celle de l'Italie pré-moderne en particulier, Considérations sur l'espace tient à la fois du manifeste et de la récapitulation, plaçant l'homme au cœur de la cité et d'un urbanisme qui l'a trop souvent négligé. Né en 1933, Henri Gaudin a notamment reçu l'Équerre d'argent en 1986 pour l'ensemble de logements sociaux d'Evry-Courcouronnes et en 1994 pour le stade Charléty. Parmi ses autres réalisations, citons les Archives de Paris, l'université Saint-Leu à Amiens, la réhabilitation du musée Guimet (avec Bruno Gaudin), le Grand Théâtre de Lorient.
