Summary:
Comme toutes les espèces vivantes, toutes les cultures humaines ont eu leur propre monde. La modernité occidentale, à partir du XVIIe siècle, est le seul paradigme qui ait privé le sujet humain de cosmicité, en reléguant « le monde » à l’état d’objet. Au siècle dernier, cela aboutit à ce que l’architecte Rem Koolhaas a nommé junkspace, l'« espace foutoir ». Par-delà la(...)

Par-delà la détérioration de l'environnement, cette acosmie globalisée atteint aujourd'hui au cosmocide. Au Pérou, comme dans tous les pays colonisés ou en développement, ne faut-il pas alors s’inspirer de la cosmicité des communautés autochtones ? Mais peut-on faire face aux réalités contemporaines et à venir ? Et créativement « recosmiser » l'existence humaine sur la Terre ?

A partir de l'exemple d'une commune de l'est de l'Ile-de-France, l'auteur étudie la façon dont la transformation de la région impacte les habitants et les politiques de la ville. Il s'intéresse notamment à l'explosion du nombre de constructions, à la politique urbaine, à la hausse du prix de l'immobilier ou encore aux retombées économiques réelles de ces mutations.

As technology continues to change these relationships, Schouwenberg and Jongerius thoughtfully consider the agency of our objects. Questioning the market's obsession with novelty in design, the authors try to develop criteria for recognizing true cultural innovation. What distinguishes novelty for the sake of novelty from something truly new? Designed by the legendary Irma Boom, the book itself is a love letter to creative design.

Summary:
This publication is the result of a year-long dialogue between British architect David Chipperfield (born 1953) and Swiss architect Simon Kretz (born 1982). The two began working together through the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, in which Chipperfield mentored the younger architect for a year. This publication focuses on a single aspect of their conversations—the problems and possibilities of planning. "On Planning" aims to intervene in the future of urban development, offering a manifesto for a relational, collective and diverse future for our cities. Using the Bishopsgate goods yard site in East London as a case study, Chipperfield and Kretz explore the conditions under which an ideal urban development project could flourish. The conclusions reached through this exercise demonstrate how future large-scale developments elsewhere could have more positive urban impact, both at the scale of the neighborhood and the wider metropolis.

From the vision of an international architectural modernism (a mission with which Giedion was involved as the first secretary-general of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, between 1928 and 1959) to debates on the industrialization of construction processes and their impact on public housing, Liberated Dwelling expresses the dreams and anxieties of early 20th-century modernist architecture.

Ce projet éditorial vise à établir une cartographie problématisée des savoir-faire inventifs, expérimentations heureuses ou malheureuses des “collectifs” français. Les nouveaux enjeux écologiques, possibilités technologiques et données économiques posent questions, et poussent architectes, urbanistes et paysagistes à se tourner vers d’autres voies, méthodologies et finalités alternatives. Comment penser le devenir des territoires dans l’optique d’intégrer l’imprévu, le spontané, l’autonomie habitante? Sur quelles bases et énergies s’appuyer pour concevoir des dynamiques urbaines et rurales plus cohérentes et soutenables ? Notre hypothèse est celle de la collaboration. C’est à un travail de cartographie et d’interrogation de ces nouvelles capacités collaboratives que tente de se livrer ce projet : une éloge de la collaboration, mais aussi une tentative d’en cerner les potentialités latentes, limites, dangers et dérives.

Summary:

From playgrounds to theme parks, skittle alleys to swimming pools, to the countless uncontrolled spaces which the urban habitat affords play is by no means just a childhood affair. A myriad essentially unproductive playful pursuits have, through time, modelled the modern city and landscape. Architect and scholar Rodrigo Pérez de Arces erudite, original, and often surprising study explores a curiously neglected dimension of architectural design and practice: ludic space. It is an architectural history of the playground from the hippodrome to the Situationist city of space released from productive ends in the pursuit of leisure. The ludic imagination impregnated modernist ideals, and what begins with the playground ends with a re-consideration of the whole sweep of the modern movement through the filter of leisure and play.

Publication history is a rapidly expanding scholarly field which has profoundly influenced architectural history in recent years. Yet, while groundbreaking work has been done on architecture and printing in the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the twentieth century, the nineteenth century has received little attention. This is the omission that 'The Printed and the Built' seeks to address, thus filling a significant gap in the understanding of architecture's cultural history.

Rhythmanalysis displays all the characteristics which made Lefebvre one of the most important Marxist thinkers of the twentieth century. In the analysis of rhythms -- both biological and social -- Lefebvre shows the interrelation of space and time in the understanding of everyday life.With dazzling skills, Lefebvre moves between discussions of music, the commodity, measurement, the media and the city. In doing so he shows how a non-linear conception of time and history balanced his famous rethinking of the question of space. This volume also includes his earlier essays on "The Rhythmanalysis Project" and "Attempt at the Rhythmanalysis of Mediterranean Towns."

Summary:
The winner of France's prestigious Prix Femina Essai (2009), this book explores the many dimensions of the room in which we spend so much of our lives—the bedroom. Eminent cultural historian Michelle Perrot traces the evolution of the bedroom from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans to today, examining its myriad forms and functions, from royal king's chamber to child's sleeping quarters to lovers' trysting place to monk's cell. The history of women, so eager for a room of their own, and that of prisons, where the principal cause of suffering is the lack of privacy, is interwoven with a reflection on secrecy, walls, the night and its mysteries.Drawing from a wide range of sources, including architectural and design treatises, private journals, novels, memoirs, and correspondences, Perrot's book follows the many roads that lead to the bedroom—birth, sex, illness, death—in its endeavor to expose the most intimate, nocturnal side of human history.
