Summary:
"Inhabitable infrastructures: science fiction or urban future?", the follow up to "Food city and smartcities and eco-warriors", from one of the world’s leading urban design and architectural thinkers, explores the potential of climate change-related multi-use infrastructures that address the fundamental human requirements to protect, to provide and to participate. The stimulus for the infrastructures derives from postulated scenarios and processes gleaned from science fiction and futurology as well as the current body of scientific knowledge regarding changing environmental impacts on cities. Science fiction is interdisciplinary by nature, aggregates the past and present, and evaluates both lay opinions and professional strategies in an attempt to develop foresight and to map possible futures. The research culminates in the creation of innovative multi-use infrastructures and integrated self-sustaining support systems that meet the challenges posed through climate change and overpopulation, and the reciprocal benefits of simultaneously addressing the threat and the shaping of cities. J. G. Ballard has written that the psychological realm of science fiction is most valuable in its predictive function, and in projecting emotions into the future. The knowledge from the book is widely transferable, constituting both solutions and speculative visions of future urban environments. The book is indispensable reading for professionals and students in the fields of urban design, architecture, engineering and environmental socio-politics.

Summary:
L'architecte allemand Friedrich Schinkel appréciait d'une architecture qu'elle ait "l'apparence de sa construction". Creusons cette idée simple : on touche immédiatement l'une des problématiques fondamentales de l'architecture. Art non mimétique, elle n'a effectivement qu'elle-même pour modèle. Comment donc l'architecture s'imite-t-elle, telle est la question à laquelle, à travers la notion de style notamment, de nombreux théoriciens ont essayé de répondre. L'hypothèse de ce livre prolonge très directement ce questionnement. Elle consiste à dire que l'architecture entretient avec son substrat matériel une relation singulière, qui procède à la fois de la connivence et de la défiance, et qui définit selon les périodes, selon les créateurs, autant de stratégies particulières en matière de projet. En dix chapitres thématiques, l'auteur circonscrit le sens de cette spécularité énigmatique entre architecture et construction. Le matériau, le chantier, l'ornement, le projet, le détail, l'histoire... autant d'éclairages qui permettent de distinguer dans cette superposition à la fois évidente et complexe des modes particuliers d'apparaître, et qui révèlent le caractère spécifique de l'esthétique architecturale. Pour autant, le style ou la beauté ne constituent pas des données positives. C'est toute l'ambiguïté de cet art : exprimer, voire afficher l'artifice par lequel l'architecture, au sens propre, se dresse, tout en masquant cette dépendance par trop triviale.
