"Il y a toujours cette impression de ne pas être bien formé et que l'école ne sert à rien. Pourtant en entrant dans la vie c'est la découverte de ce qui a été appris et ce que l'on aurait aimé apprendre. C'est aussi le regret de ne pas avoir assez profité de l'école, de cette chance d'avoir été jeune et que tout était possible. Le premier projet que j'aurais aimé faire(...)

"Il y a toujours cette impression de ne pas être bien formé et que l'école ne sert à rien. Pourtant en entrant dans la vie c'est la découverte de ce qui a été appris et ce que l'on aurait aimé apprendre. C'est aussi le regret de ne pas avoir assez profité de l'école, de cette chance d'avoir été jeune et que tout était possible. Le premier projet que j'aurais aimé faire c'est l'école que je n'ai pas eue... Je reste sur cette frustration d'un enseignement centré sur l'acquisition des savoirs et non de la compréhension des choses. J'ai tenté d'apprendre à vivre dans le monde en construisant des situations pour mettre à l'épreuve le réel, faire apparaître ce que les choses ont à nous dire, révéler ce qui est caché en nous, c'est la seule chose qui m'intéresse. Faire de l'architecture sans à priori, laisser venir l'inattendu, faire de toutes petites choses, en totale liberté. Elle pourrait être le résultat d'un acte non prévu, l'expression chargée de sens et non une forme préétablie, produire une architecture inconnue, reflet d'une imagination sociale perdue. Elle pourrait d'ailleurs ne jamais venir. Elle devrait être l'architecture du désaccord, de la solidarité, de l'hospitalité, de la liberté de penser et de faire. Il n'y aurait pas de projet défini mais un travail commun de construction d'une situation concrète. Participer à une construction avec un idéal de composer ensemble le monde dans lequel nous vivons. Construire en habitant, habiter en construisant, c'est le principe de la vie. On ne sait pas bien pourquoi on est là, tout a déjà été fait, il n'y a plus rien à faire si ce n'est VIVRE ENSEMBLE, tout est là."

Nous sommes en 1943, Hannah Arendt s’est exilée aux États-Unis et écrit ces pages dans la langue de sa patrie d’adoption.

Hannah Arendt exprime la difficulté à évoquer ce passé tout récent. Pas d’histoires d’enfance ou de fantômes donc, mais le regard rivé sur l’avenir et, si possible, prédit par le ciel plutôt qu’inscrit dans la terre.

In ''Ugliness and Judgment,'' Timothy Hyde considers the role of aesthetic judgment and its concern for uglines in architectural debates and their resulting social effects across three centuries of British architectural history. From eighteenth-century ideas about Stonehenge to Prince Charles' opinions about the National Gallery, Hyde uncovers a new story of aesthetic judgment, where arguments about architectural ugliness do not pertain solely to buildings or assessments of style, but intrude into other spheres of civil society.

Since the mid-19th century, the idea of California has lured many waves of migrants. Here, writer and editor Lyra Kilston explores a less examined attraction: the region’s promise of better health.

Summary:
Since the mid-19th century, the idea of California has lured many waves of migrants. Here, writer and editor Lyra Kilston explores a less examined attraction: the region’s promise of better health. From ailing families seeking a miracle climate cure to iconoclasts and dropouts pursuing a remedy to societal corruption, the abundance of sunshine and untamed nature around the small but growing Los Angeles area offered them refuge and inspiration. In the wild west of medical practice, eclectic nature-cure treatments gained popularity. The source for this trend can be traced to the mountains and cold-water springs of Europe, where early sanatoriums were built to offer the natural cures of sun, air, water and diet; this sanatorium architecture was exported to the West Coast from Central Europe, and began to impact other types of building.

How can we decode statues and their languages, their objecthood and materiality, their role as media icons and their voice in political debates? The book responds to urgent concerns about the representation of our heritage by not only asking us to examine what history gets put on a pedestal, but also to consider the visual rhetoric of the statue itself.

Summary:
Founded in North Carolina in 1933, Black Mountain College ranks alongside the Bauhaus as one of the most innovative schools of the 20th century. Inspired by the forward-thinking pedagogical ideas of philosopher John Dewey, the experimental, interdisciplinary college combined the ideas of radical European modernism with the philosophy of American pragmatism and teaching methods designed to encourage personal initiative as well as the social competence of the individual. Visual arts, economics, physics, dance, architecture and music were all taught on an equal footing, and teachers and students lived together in a democratically organized community. The second director of the school was Josef Albers, and John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, Walter Gropius, Franz Kline and Charles Olson were among its teachers. As a result, the college played a foundational role in the development of a range of avant-garde practices, and exerted an enormous influence on the development of the arts in the second half of the 20th century.

Summary:
A conversation that seeks to apply the prefix "Xeno-" in philosophical discourse to the discourse of architecture.This book aims to unpack the prefix, probing what it entails--not merely rhetorically but also as a means of practice, in an attempt to bring the ideas it contains more concretely into the domain of architecture. It proposes to link the more philosophical discussions on the notion of xeno with questions of instrumentalization and governance that are necessarily involved in the praxis of architecture. And it relates the significance of legal architecture and technologically driven transformation in the metaphysics of law back to the agenda of xeno-architecture. By researching how architects, artists, thinkers, and activists operating in the spatial field might endorse a process of "alienation" to confront global issues, this project attempts to re-radicalize spatial practice.
