How do the sciences structure the identity of the architect and the practice of architecture in a specific period? And how does the design of spaces such as laboratories, hospitals, and museums affect how the public perceives and interacts with the(...)

How do the sciences structure the identity of the architect and the practice of architecture in a specific period? And how does the design of spaces such as laboratories, hospitals, and museums affect how the public perceives and interacts with the world of science? « The Architecture of Science » offers a dazzling set of speculations on these issues by historians of science, architecture, and art; architectural theorists; and sociologists as well as practicing scientists and architects. The essays are organized into six sections: "Of Secrecy and Openness: Science and Architecture in Early Modern Europe"; "Displaying and Concealing Technics in the Nineteenth Century"; "Modern Space"; "Is Architecture Science?"; "Princeton after Modernism: The Lewis Thomas Laboratory for Molecular Biology"; and "Centers, Cities, and Colliders."

La nouvelle Cité judiciaire de Paris – remportée par Renzo Piano en 2010, construite dans le quartier des Batignolles et inaugurée en 2018 – devait être le signe de l’avènement d’une justice nouvelle, renonçant à l’intimidation au profit du soin, de l’accueil et de la rassurance.

Mais, en acceptant de se lancer dans ce projet – le plus important qu’a connu Paris depuis les années 1970 –, Piano oublia quelque chose : que l’histoire de la justice est une histoire pleine de virage et de portes dérobées – et que les intentions les plus généreuses y sont souvent celles qui produisent les effets les plus violents. Piano voulait construire un post-tribunal ; il se pourrait bien qu’il ait construit une nouvelle île, où mieux que jamais barricader la justice.

De Marx à l’urbex, les tribulations de ce sanctuaire moderniste inauguré en 1981, inspiré des tombes thraces et des courbes de Niemeyer, montrent comment la religiosité du socialisme réel à la sauce bulgare a été réinvestie par le tourisme récréatif des fans de lieux abandonnés. Objet de nostalgie amnésique, le site n’en constitue pas moins un héritage encombrant pour la Bulgarie post-communiste, dont la mémoire collective s’accommode tant bien que mal de cet ovni architectural symbolisant une discordance des temps.

Summary:
Cette publication s’intéresse à la façon dont les stratégies de dénormalisation mises en place par les arts visuels peuvent se prolonger par le biais de l’écriture. Dans les trois chapitres de ce livre, les discussions théoriques et artistiques s’associent à la théorie queer, aux études sur la handicap et à la théorie postcoloniale pour définir trois pratiques : le drag radical, le drag transtemporel et le drag abstrait. Une des caractéristiques de l’art queer, tel que le définit Renate Lorenz, est sa possibilité d’agir à travers le temps, désorganisant une chronologie positiviste et se saisissant d’objets historiques par affinité. L’art queer cultive l’anachronisme comme méthode.

This book offers the first systematic exploration of these cities, analyzing their urban form, their promise, and their shortcomings. Originally intended to satisfy growing demand for housing, most of the desert towns have never been completed. Taking this permanent condition of emerging urban development at face value, the study aims to identify the as-yet dormant potential of these towns through a series of design scenarios. Cairo Desert Cities underscores the value of re-engaging in modernist town planning, for wiping away the dust of past failures may uncover the contours of future opportunities. With over 300 illustrations, this clothbound edition is an engaging and visually rich introduction to the urban development of Greater Cairo, the largest urban area in Africa, and the practices that have shaped it.

We usually think of cities as dense and vertical—but in reality most cities extend vast distances in a more horizontal fashion, with less density and lower-rising buildings. This book invites us to rethink the relationship between that center and its periphery, revealing that dispersed condition as a potential asset rather than a limit, offering the possibility of(...)

Summary:
We usually think of cities as dense and vertical—but in reality most cities extend vast distances in a more horizontal fashion, with less density and lower-rising buildings. This book invites us to rethink the relationship between that center and its periphery, revealing that dispersed condition as a potential asset rather than a limit, offering the possibility of constructing a sustainable and innovative new urban dimension. Taking up the concept of “desakota,” which describes areas—typically occurring in Asia—situated outside the traditional urban zone, The Horizontal Metropolis investigates such areas alongside examples in the United States, Italy, and Switzerland, highlighting the advantages of the concept and its relevance to economic, ecological, and social questions.

Summary:
In his study of Giedion’s life and work Reto Geiser foregrounds the formative character of Giedion’s extended stays in the United States and their role as an inspiring laboratory to propel his scholarship. By challenging the presentation of a continuous line of developments, and revealing the ruptures and contradictions within Giedion’s work, Geiser questions a heroic account of modern architecture, turning instead to the less ideological and frequently overlooked facets of Giedion’s oeuvre. The book argues that, although Giedion’s position in between two cultural spheres created discontinuities in his work, it also facilitated a mutual exchange between the architectural impresario and his North American peers and thereby helped to shape the development and reception of the modern project on either side of the Atlantic.

Mela Dávila and Maite Muñoz here show how the arrival of inexpensive home video technologies in the 1970s and then of digital media at the turn of the millennium sparked revolutions in the creation and diffusion of both video artworks and artists' publications. Dávila proposes a theoretical and historical framework for works long dismissed by the market because of their serial nature, while Muñoz shows how artists have taken advantage of the permeability between publications and audovisual elements.
