À l’heure où la moitié de l’humanité vit en ville, l’architecture et l’urbanisme sont appelés à jouer un rôle majeur dans la limitation de l’empreinte écologique des activités humaines et dans la recherche de solutions durables. Les douze associés d’Architecture-Studio et leur équipe ont développé à travers leurs projets un savoir-faire et une attention certaine à l’environnement et aux cultures vernaculaires. Ce livre en présente quelques-uns en les articulant avec une réflexion et des données statistiques sur le développement durable. Le projet de Deh-Sabz, une nouvelle « ville verte » de plus de trois millions d’habitants au nord de Kaboul, particulièrement extraordinaire en raison de sa taille et des enjeux qu’il supporte, fait l’objet de développements spécifiques. Cet ouvrage n’est ni un traité, ni un livre de recettes pour une construction plus vertueuse. Il est plus simplement le témoignage du travail d’une des plus grandes agences d’architecture française, dont la démarche de conception, nourrie d’une attention aux contextes (social, topographique, culturel, etc.), n’a d’autre ambition que de participer à l’affirmation d’une architecture contemporaine et responsable.

Summary:
American ruins have become increasingly prominent, whether in discussions of “urban blight” and home foreclosures, in commemorations of 9/11, or in postapocalyptic movies. In this book, Nick Yablon argues that the association between American cities and ruins dates back to a much earlier period in the nation’s history. Recovering numerous scenes of urban desolation—from failed banks, abandoned towns, and dilapidated tenements to the crumbling skyscrapers and bridges envisioned in science fiction and cartoons—this publication challenges the myth that ruins were absent or insignificant objects in nineteenth-century America. The first book to document an American cult of the ruin, it traces its deviations as well as derivations from European conventions. Unlike classical and Gothic ruins, which decayed gracefully over centuries and inspired philosophical meditations about the fate of civilizations, America’s ruins were often “untimely,” appearing unpredictably and disappearing before they could accrue an aura of age. As modern ruins of steel and iron, they stimulated critical reflections about contemporary cities, and the unfamiliar kinds of experience they enabled. Unearthing evocative sources everywhere from the archives of amateur photographers to the contents of time-capsules, this title exposes crucial debates about the economic, technological, and cultural transformations known as urban modernity.

Concentrating both on the literary and cultural representations of the city, as well as riots, rebellions and revolutions—throughout the nineteenth century and up until 1968—Hazan acts as a guide who is simultaneously personal and rigorous in tone. Introducing us to characters as varied as Balzac, Baudelaire, Blanqui, Flaubert, Hugo, Manet and Proust, Hazan charts the formation of a “Red Paris” through the sedimentation of acts and sources of insurgency, and gives us an unparalleled history of the barricade in the life of the city.

Characteristically polemic, incisive and energetic, these essays explore pressing questions of architectural and urban design, and critical issues of public space and participation. From New York to New Orleans, the Amazon to Jerusalem, Sorkin brings a critical eye to bear on a sweeping range of subjects. Whether castigating the sorry performance of the architectural avant-garde post 9/11, considering the nature of place in globalized culture, or providing mock instructions for entering a high-security environment, these writings make a powerful and provocative case for architecture and urban design to re-engage with the lives and societies from which they have increasingly become detached.

Summary:
Access and accessibility are central themes in architecture and urbanism. The goal is to make buildings accessible both horizontally and vertically, as well as to provide them with technical infrastructure. But the aim is also to ensure the accessibility of whole streets, routes, parks, and squares, and even entire cities and regions. Today, access is a key concept in the most disparate areas of life. Thus, it is also a matter of access to knowledge and education, access to knowledge media like the Internet, access to healthcare, access to languages, etc. In thirteen articles, this book deals with this world of access in architecture, city planning, and neighboring fields. Topics include ensuring the accessibility of entire urban areas, renewing that of areas that were previously utilized differently, including the general populace in concept planning, and how architecture can help provide access to a better quality of life.
