Summary:
Shrinking cities have pushed urban design and classical city planning to their limits. This new challenge requires new approaches in which the "hard" tools of construction are joined by the "soft" tools of political, social, cultural, and communicative interventions. This book provides an international overview of experimental concepts for taking action in shrinking cities from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, urban construction, the media, performance, and art. The approaches range from artistic intercessions and self-empowerment projects to architectural and landscape interventions, and from strategies of media communication and city marketing to new legal regulations and utopian designs. A series of essays provides a critical discussion of both successful and failed projects of recent decades from such countries as the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Austria, Russia, and Japan. Projects featured (selection): William Alsop, Crimson, Jeremy Deller, Gordon Matta-Clark, OMA, Cedric Price, Andreas Siekmann, Robert Smithson, Superflex, O. M. Ungers

Summary:
At the dawn of the twenty-first century, poets and architects, designers and critics, teachers and artists are rediscovering the virtues of the previous century's most vibrant cultural constellation. Yet this widespread embrace raises questions about modernism's relation to its own success. Modernism's “badness” — its emphasis on outrageous behavior, its elevation of negativity, its refusal to be condoned —seems essential to its power. But once modernism is accepted as “good” or valuable (as a great deal of modernist art now is), its status as a subversive aesthetic intervention seems undermined. The contributors to "Bad modernisms" tease out the contradictions in modernism's commitment to badness "Bad modernisms" thus builds on and extends the “new modernist studies,” recent work marked by the application of diverse methods and attention to texts and artists not usually labeled as modernist. In this collection, these developments are exemplified by essays ranging from a reading of dandyism in 1920s Harlem as a performance of a “bad” black modernist imaginary to a consideration of Filipino American modernism in the context of anticolonialism. The contributors reconsider familiar figures—such as Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Josef von Sternberg, Ludwig Wittgenstein, W. H. Auden, and Wyndham Lewis—and bring to light the work of lesser-known artists, including the writer Carlos Bulosan and the experimental filmmaker Len Lye. Examining cultural artifacts ranging from novels to manifestos, from philosophical treatises to movie musicals, and from anthropological essays to advertising campaigns, these essays signal the capaciousness and energy galvanizing the new modernist studies.

Summary:
La récente consultation pour le réaménagement du quartier des Halles s’est terminée en queue de poisson, par une décision du maire sans commune mesure avec les enjeux du lieu, prise sous la pression des groupes d’intérêt politiques et financiers en présence. La Campagne des Halles retrace les étapes de cette aventure, en la replaçant dans le cadre général de l’architecture française actuelle, et en insistant sur l’imbroglio politique qui, entre autres, a conduit à l’échec présent. Le déroulement de la consultation, la sélection des candidats, les quatre propositions, les réactions qu’elles ont suscitées, la nature du projet lauréat sont analysés comme autant de symptômes du vide de la politique et de la culture municipales en matière d’urbanisme. Françoise Fromonot démonte le caractère d’alibi de la « démocratie participative » et l’incapacité chronique des architectes français et de la critique à nourrir un débat par-delà les conflits d’intérêts et les querelles de styles. Ce qui ressort finalement sur tous ces points, c’est la continuité de la politique urbaine de Bertrand Delanoë avec celle de ses prédécesseurs. Les positions défendues dans ce livre sont à la fois dissensuelles et fortement étayées par une recherche longue et attentive. L’intérêt du sujet déborde même « le cœur de Paris » : la nouvelle affaire des Halles jette un éclairage aussi instructif que cruel sur les mécanismes et les raisons qui façonnent aujourd’hui la forme d’une ville.

It establishes links between the history, planning and transport networks of eleven international cities (London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Mexico City and Singapore), in a survey which helps us bring to mind the origins of modern means of transport: of conventional railways and their subsequent conversion into metros and tramways, and into today's high-speed trains; of the appearance in the metropolitan context of the motor car and bus, and the arrival of motorways and contemporary airports. In short, the history and morphology of transport networks in our big cities, described through the detailed study and comparative analysis of developments in each of them, all of this with a wealth of images, maps and data of interest.
