Summary:
Design has always prided itself on being relevant to the world it serves, but interest in design was once limited to a small community of design professionals. Today, books on “design thinking” are best sellers, and computer and Web-based tools have expanded the definition of who practices design. Looking at objects, letterforms, experiences, and even theatrical performances, award-winning author Jessica Helfand asserts that understanding design's purpose is more crucial than ever. Design is meaningful not because it is pretty but because it is an intrinsically humanist discipline, tethered to the very core of why we exist. For example, as designers collaborate with developing nations on everything from more affordable lawn mowers to cleaner drinking water, they must take into consideration the full range of a given community’s complex social needs. Advancing a conversation that is unfolding around the globe, Helfand offers an eye-opening look at how designed things make us feel as well as how—and why—they motivate our behavior.

En deux volumes, il présente un panorama inédit des propositions théoriques et méthodologiques de cette oeuvre foisonnante, en les rapportant à leurs contextes de production. L’ensemble révèle les importants chantiers théoriques et empiriques ouverts par Abbott, et discute des thèses originales - et souvent provocantes - qui apparaissent ici comme les prolongements d’un héritage quelque peu oublié de l’école de Chicago. Ce volume rassemble des traductions de textes majeurs d’Abbott, des contributions de spécialistes clarifiant ses apports, ainsi qu’une réponse inédite esquissant un bilan et de nouvelles perspectives. Il présente enfin une bibliographie complète de ses travaux, permettant de se repérer dans une oeuvre jusqu’à présent très peu traduite en français.

Summary:

Linking philosophy, design, and the digital, with art history, architecture, and craft, Spuybroek explores the romantic notion of 'sympathy', a core concept in Ruskin's aesthetics, re-evaluating it as the driving force of the twenty-first century aesthetic experience. For Ruskin, beauty always comprises variation, imperfection and fragility, three concepts that wholly disappeared from our mindsets during the twentieth century, but which Spuybroek argues to be central to contemporary aesthetics and design.

Comment réenchanter la ville ? Comment réaliser une symbiose entre écosystèmes humains et naturels ? Dans un contexte marqué par une emprise toujours plus massive et destructrice de l’élément urbain sur l’environnement, il est nécessaire de repenser la cité. Cet ouvrage propose de trouver des solutions fondées sur l’esprit de la permaculture. En identifiant les caractéristiques séduisantes du pavillon de banlieue, typologie architecturale plébiscitée, mais cause majeure de l’étalement urbain, il façonne une réflexion menant à un modèle cohérent. Par la manipulation ludique d’une maquette virtuelle, s’appuyant étape par étape sur des références solides qui reflètent la complexité urbaine, il développe une nouvelle façon de construire et reconstruire la ville sur elle-même. La Permacité, modèle souple et évolutif fondé sur l'utilisation de mégastructures, ne met à l’écart ni les questions techniques, ni celles, cruciales, de la gestion citoyenne et sociale de l’espace urbain.
