Summary:
Projection has long been transforming space, from shadow plays to camera obscuras and magic lantern shows. Our fascination with projection is alive on the walls of museums and galleries and woven into our daily lives. Giuliana Bruno explores the histories of projection and atmosphere in visual culture and their continued importance to contemporary artists who are reinventing the projective imagination with atmospheric thinking and the use of elemental media. She reveals how atmosphere is formed and mediated, how it can change, and what projection can do to modify a site. In so doing, she gives new life to the alchemic possibilities of transformative projective atmospheres. Showing how their “environmentality” produces sites of exchange and relationality, this book binds art to the ecology of atmosphere.

While we are less attuned to divinity today, we still sense that a place has significance. In this book, eminent garden historian John Dixon Hunt explores genius loci in many settings, including contemporary land art, the paintings of(...)

While we are less attuned to divinity today, we still sense that a place has significance. In this book, eminent garden historian John Dixon Hunt explores genius loci in many settings, including contemporary land art, the paintings of Paul and John Nash, travel writers such as Henry James, Paul Theroux, and Lawrence Durrell on Provence, Mexico, and Cyprus, and landscape architects who invent new meanings for a site. This book is a nuanced, thoughtful exploration of how places become more significant to us through the myriad ways we see, talk about, and remember them.

Summary:
This volume investigates the role of architecture, taking the Tracé Royal (the royal route) in Brussels as an example of an urban figure. The succession of emblematic streets, running from the Palace of Justice in the heart of the city to the Church of Our Lady and the Royal Domain in Laeken, is home to several of Belgium’s national political, legal, religious, financial, and cultural institutions. The book explores the strategies put in place over time by the various institutions to inscribe themselves durably on the country’s social order, revealing similar spatial responses and surprisingly common mutation processes. And it highlights the importance of architecture when it comes to inventing new relationships with institutional spaces in order to live together better in a time when social, political, and cultural reference points are being blurred.

Summary:
A contemporary reminder of the importance of the carpenter and wood in Japanese architecture. When Japanese architecture is mentioned today, images of temples or pagodas generally come to mind. Others may think of more contemporary works: massive modular walls of rough concrete poured in place and bearing imprints of their formwork in the manner of Ando Tadao, the(...)

Summary:
A contemporary reminder of the importance of the carpenter and wood in Japanese architecture. When Japanese architecture is mentioned today, images of temples or pagodas generally come to mind. Others may think of more contemporary works: massive modular walls of rough concrete poured in place and bearing imprints of their formwork in the manner of Ando Tadao, the lighter structures of Ito Toyo and Sejima Kazuyo, or the finely wrought facades of Kuma Kengo. A generational chasm and, rather surprisingly, even a historical one seems to have opened up between the emblematic images of traditional Japanese architecture, in which wood is the material of choice, and more current and innovative work, in which its use has been reduced. Even though the carpenter has long been the lead builder, contemporary architectural culture appears to have forgotten this reservoir of construction experience accumulated over centuries.

Summary:
Le changement climatique est une réalité vécue maintenant quotidiennement au travers des événements météorologiques extrêmes qui se multiplient. Les villes sont en première ligne de ces bouleversements, à la fois responsables et victimes. Sont-elles condamnées ? Non. En prenant l'exemple de Paris, cet essai montre que les solutions existent et que les villes peuvent s'adapter pour se préparer à ce futur et devenir des métropoles écologiques et bioclimatiques. En 2050, Paris aura le climat de Marseille aujourd'hui. Il y a donc urgence à adapter Paris à ce nouveau climat, en s'inspirant de l'architecture traditionnelle méditerranéenne et en intégrant toutes les nouvelles approches bioclimatiques. C'est ce à quoi nous exhorte Franck Lirzin, s'appuyant sur les dernières découvertes scientifiques et innovations technologiques afin de montrer les voies de l'adaptation climatique de Paris, et de créer une véritable capitale écologique, une « écotopie ». Quelles décisions devons-nous prendre aujourd'hui pour nous assurer une qualité de vie acceptable demain ? Franck Lirzin est polytechnicien et ingénieur des mines, diplômé de l'EHESS. Haut fonctionnaire, il a été dirigeant d'une entreprise engagée dans la transformation de la ville.
