Summary:
Berlin, mémoire pendant les travaux pourrait avoir la forme d'un guide imaginaire de Berlin pour ceux qui voudraient s'y perdre. Il raconte l'errance méticuleuse d'une femme dans quelques rues de la ville au cours de l'été 2003..A sa mémoire incertaine d'événements rêvés ou vécus, se mêle la mémoire de la ville, bouleversée par les transformations continues des tracés de rues et des bâtiments depuis la chute du Mur en 1989, et dont la mosaïque des sols garde l'empreinte. Aux images de ce Berlin-là viennent se superposer des visions du Berlin de Moses Mendelssohn, à partir des traces infimes ou reconstituées de cette époque, ou du Berlin des années brunes, dont témoignent, dans la ville, les pavés de cuivre jaune portant les noms des déportés, plantés dans le sol devant leurs anciennes demeures. Hélène Bezençon est née en 1960 à Lausanne. Elle a notamment publié : Les Confessions d'une mangeuse de lune (Vents d'Ouest, 1995), qui a obtenu le prix Canada-Suisse, et : Arrête de rêver, l'Etrangère (L'Age d'Homme, 2000), une pièce de théâtre consacrée à Annemarie Schwarzenbach. Elle vit et travaille à Berlin depuis 1993.

Thirty-five years later, it remains a perennial bestseller and a definitive theoretical text. Its authors--architects Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour--famously used the Las Vegas Strip to argue the virtues of the "ordinary and ugly" above the "heroic and original" qualities of architectural modernism. Learning from Las Vegas not only moved architecture to the center of cultural debates, it changed our ideas about what architecture was and could be.

Summary:
This international and illustrated work challenges current writings focussing on the problems of urban public space to present a more nuanced and dialectical conception of urban life. Detailed and extensive international urban case studies show how urban open spaces are used for play, which is defined and discussed using Caillois' four-part definition – competition, chance, simulation and vertigo. Stevens explores and analyses these case studies according to locations where play has been observed: paths, intersections, thresholds, boundaries and props. Applicable to a wide-range of countries and city forms, The Ludic City is a fascinating and stimulating read for all who are involved or interested in the design of urban spaces.

Summary:
This book takes the primitive amusements of pleasure gardens as its starting point and launches from there into a rich, in-depth investigation of the evolution of the theme park over the twentieth century. Lukas examines theme parks in countries around the world – including the United States, UK, Europe, Japan, China, South Africa and Australia – and how themed fairs and parks developed through diverse means and in a variety of settings. The book examines world-famous and lesser-known parks, including the early parks of Coney Island, a series of World Fairs and their luxurious exhibition halls, Six Flags parks and virtual theme parks today, and, of course, Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Lukas analyses the theme park as a living entity that unexpectedly shapes people, their relationships and the world around them.

Although I was wearing black and I am an architect I didn’t have a spontaneous answer, so I responded: "Ask the other architects!" That was in 2001, and it is why this small book came to be. I have asked the question at an international level and whenever it seems appropriate ever since. The sometimes amusing and other times programmatic or hair-splitting answers I have received over the last seven years are listed chronologically in this little black volume. Read, and please, don’t ask me why architects wear black!"
