« Je ne me serais pas intéressé au blanc s’il n’apparaissait constamment comme une anomalie du paysage, tantôt le valorisant, tantôt le dégradant. "Dans la nature, le blanc n’existe pas". Assertion frappante. Je la tiens de Bernard Lassus, alors enseignant en art plastique à l’École du paysage de Versailles. D’une manière ou d’une autre, les composantes inertes du paysage(...)

Summary:
« Je ne me serais pas intéressé au blanc s’il n’apparaissait constamment comme une anomalie du paysage, tantôt le valorisant, tantôt le dégradant. "Dans la nature, le blanc n’existe pas". Assertion frappante. Je la tiens de Bernard Lassus, alors enseignant en art plastique à l’École du paysage de Versailles. D’une manière ou d’une autre, les composantes inertes du paysage se trouvent liées au vivant en tant que système mais il arrive qu’on les perçoive pour elles-mêmes sans identifier les êtres auxquels elles se trouvent associées : une plage de sable blanc, une cime enneigée, une falaise de craie. Le blanc intervient alors de façon massive, occupant tout le regard et, même s’il s’agit d’un phénomène temporaire – le ciel, l’écume, la neige – il peut identifier un territoire durablement. » G. C.

Les territoires qui ne sont ni la ville ni la campagne, mais empruntent à l’une et à l’autre, connaissent une forte croissance démographique, sous la forme d’une ville discontinue. Les campagnes urbaines dépendent tout autant des villes centres que des flux de la mondialisation et de leurs relations avec les villages, les bourgs, la ruralité, les paysages, tout ce capital(...)

Summary:
Les territoires qui ne sont ni la ville ni la campagne, mais empruntent à l’une et à l’autre, connaissent une forte croissance démographique, sous la forme d’une ville discontinue. Les campagnes urbaines dépendent tout autant des villes centres que des flux de la mondialisation et de leurs relations avec les villages, les bourgs, la ruralité, les paysages, tout ce capital de manières d’habiter qui font d’elles des lieux désirables. L’avenir de ces espaces fragiles est un défi social et paysager, économique et écologique considérable. L’ouvrage explore la manière dont les campagnes urbaines peuvent accueillir des formes nouvelles de densification ou doivent au contraire être dé-densifiées, en conciliant la pression démographique et foncière avec la préservation des sols et des paysages.

What good is design? In a world facing social unrest, political tribalism, and impending ecological doom, Tomás Maldonado poses philosophical inquiries into the role design plays during a moment of crisis and analyzes what “design” might mean as an ever-enlarging compass beyond stylization of specific objects.

What good is design? In a world facing social unrest, political tribalism, and impending ecological doom, Tomás Maldonado poses philosophical inquiries into the role design plays during a moment of crisis and analyzes what “design” might mean as an ever-enlarging compass beyond stylization of specific objects. He discusses how design is both influenced by and central to ecological crisis. Written as a kind of obituary to the Modern movement’s wave of failed “concrete utopias,” Maldonado combines philosophy, sociology, radical countercultural thought, and the ecological sciences into a polemic that recenters design in the human environment.

We are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn't seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together, to find common purpose. But how, exactly, can this be done? In ''Palaces for the People'', Eric Klinenberg(...)

Summary:
We are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn't seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together, to find common purpose. But how, exactly, can this be done? In ''Palaces for the People'', Eric Klinenberg suggests a way forward. He believes that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces where crucial, sometimes life-saving connections, are formed. These are places where people gather and linger, making friends across group lines and strengthening the entire community. Klinenberg calls this the ''social infrastructure'': When it is strong, neighborhoods flourish; when it is neglected, as it has been in recent years, families and individuals must fend for themselves.

He considers a wide range of media—from painting, sculpture, and photography to artists’ films, video, sound work, animation, and installation—and analyzes the work of internationally prominent artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Nancy Holt, Mark Dion, and Robert Smithson. In doing so, Cheetham reveals eco art to be a dynamic extension of a long tradition of landscape depiction in the West that boldly enters into today’s debates on climate science, government policy, and our collective and individual responsibility to the planet.

Tucked inside the covers of this slim volume is a conversation—a chorus, a round. It takes place between the contributions, across a territory of blacktop, botany, and biography. It is as much a call and response between the writers and you, dear reader, as it is between what lays before us on that open road and what lies behind in the dust. In these pages we find ourselves caught between the ambiguous future of the title and—not the past—the artifacts of memory. This is the indefinite space of the future, the rural, and the archive.

Long before Occupy, cities were the subject of much utopian thinking.

They are the centers of capital accumulation as well as of revolutionary politics, where deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Do the financiers and developers control access to urban resources or do the people? Who dictates the quality and organization of daily life? "Rebel Cities" places the city at the heart of both capital and class struggles, looking at locations ranging from Johannesburg to Mumbai, from New York City to São Paulo. Drawing on the Paris Commune as well as Occupy Wall Street and the London Riots, Harvey asks how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane ways—and how they can become the focus for anti-capitalist resistance.

Summary:
In ''Building and dwelling,'' Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them. The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.
