Summary:
In ''The Immaterial'', French social philosopher André Gorz (1923–2007) argues that the economic boom that accelerated in the 1990s and crashed so spectacularly in 2008 was based largely on an immaterial consumption of symbols and ideas, as capitalism tried to overcome the crisis of the formally industrial regime by throwing itself into a new, so-called knowledge economy.(...)

In this volume, Gorz argues instead for the creation of a true knowledge economy. This economy would be based on zero-cost exchange and pooled resources, and knowledge would be treated as humanity's common property. Currently, in order to exploit knowledge and turn it into capital, the capitalist enterprise privatizes specialized knowledge and claims ownership through private licenses and copyright. But as Gorz shows, the traditional foundations of such capitalist economics have begun to crumble because of the immaterial nature of this new form of product, which makes it almost impossible to measure in monetary terms.

Summary:
Médecins et chercheurs en psychopathologie, les auteurs entendent déconstruire l'idéologie médicale qui prescrit des conduites rationelles et standardisées au nom d'une description scientifique. Ils montrent comment ces processus de normalisation opèrent. A partir de leurs expériences cliniques, ils plaident pour le retour du "souci de soi" dans la médecine moderne

Summary:
This design studio dictionary presents architectural terms with special emphasis on using these terms to generate design ideas. It highlights the architectural thinking behind the terminology and helps readers gain a thorough understanding of space and form. Featuring double-page spreads with over 190 illustrated entries, the book explores, analyzes, and cross-references key elements and techniques used in architecture and interior design. Each entry first defines the common meaning of the term, then goes on to discuss in detail its generative possibilities. Scenarios involving the use of a design principle, or the way it might be experienced, further aid students in developing strategies for their own design.

Modern design software and computing power have changed the traditional role of geometry in architecture and opened up new possibilities enabled by topology, non-Euclidean geometry, and other areas of mathematics. This new title in the Architectural Design series explores fascinating issues in modern design, most importantly the impact of mathematics on contemporary design creativity.

Summary:
Depuis la dernière édition, près de deux décennies ce sont écoulées, avec leur cortège de publications et d'expositions rendant hommage au paysagiste emblématique de la "modernité" que fut Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994). Le présent ouvrage, qui est le premier en langue française consacré à Burle Marx, donne largement la parole au grand paysagiste brésilien. Les grandes catégories esthétiques (plans colorés, jeux de lumières, formes géométriques, verticalité) et écologiques de son travail (associations végétales, diversité botanique, jardin naturel, écosystème) y sont analysées par les différents contributeurs. Dans une nouvelle préface, Jacques Leenhardt évoque les perspectives qui se sont fair jour ces dernières années autour de l'oeuvre de Burle Marx, tant au Brésil qu'en Europe. On assiste en effet à un renouvellement des pratiques paysagères dont Roberto Burle Marx fut le pionnier, notamment du faitdes inquétudes sur la préservation des espèces végétales (biodiversité) et les menaces écologiques globales.

Summary:
Lorsqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle, la Compagnie Solvay implante sa soudière en Camargue, elle n’est pas en terra incognita. Le territoire aux limites indécises est déjà largement humanisé, l’étang de Giraud est déjà le salin d’Henri Merles, fossés et chaussées ont laissé leurs marques, pourtant jamais un projet d’une telle ampleur n’y avait été envisagé et dans un temps si court. L’ouvrage décrit pas à pas la création de cette arche industrielle en pleine Camargue, lieu de production, d’expérimentation scientifique, mais aussi l’établissement de formes urbaines rationalisées ouvrant à une des premières cités jardins. De cette savante construction urbaine, arrangeant le logis et le travail mais aussi écoles et hôpitaux, naîtra une cité laïque au paysage si particulier. Sous les patronymes des entreprises Pechiney et Solvay, les cités produiront une culture salinière à la fois gardianne et ouvrière, tissée de l’intégration méditerranéenne et des luttes sociales.
