Summary:
''Possible Mediums'' presents a collection of sixteen speculative design mediums by emerging architects. Each chapter defines an active medium in contemporary architecture through descriptions, drawings, and objects. ''Possible Mediums'' arranges projects according to shared technical and aesthetic traits, creating a vibrant taxonomy of design. Descriptive texts explain the working principles behind each medium and introduce design concepts intended to inspire students and professionals alike. Through its many contributors, ''Possible Mediums'' establishes design as a collective endeavor propelled by the open exchange of ideas and techniques. ''Possible Mediums'' is not a systematic theory, a manifesto, or a banal survey; it is a projection of architecture and knowledge to come.

Summary:
Première édition, deuxième numéros de la collection Carnets d'architectes, bibliographie. Cet ouvrage est la première monographie consacrée à Bernard Zehrfuss Grand Prix de Rome en 1939, qui dirige la reconstruction de la Tunisie et s'engage très tôt dans la modernité pour se rallier aux modes de production les plus novateurs. Figure majeure de l'architecture de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle en France, il est l'auteur ou le coauteur de quelques-uns des bâtiments les plus marquants de l'après-guerre. On citera notamment l'imprimerie Mame à Tours, l'usine Renault de Flins, le siège de l'Unesco à Paris, le CNIT à la Défense ou, plus tard, le musée de la Civilisation gallo-romaine à Lyon. Au fil de ces projets, Zehrfuss collabore avec les plus grands ingénieurs ou constructeurs de son temps (Jean Prouvé, Pier Luigi Nervi).

Summary:
'There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism', is the orthodoxy of the twenty-first century. All too often, ordinary people across the world are being told that the problem of organization is already solved, or that it is being solved somewhere else, or that it need not concern them because they have no choices. This dictionary provides those who disagree with the evidence. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism. Part reference work, part source book, and part polemic, this dictionary provides a rich understanding of the ways in which fiction, history and today's politics provide different ways of thinking about how we can and should organize for the coming century. Martin Parker is Professor of Organisation and Culture in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Valérie Fournier is Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies in the Management Centre at the University of Leicester. Patrick Reedy lectures in organizational behaviour and human resource management at the Business School of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
