L’enjeu de ce volume est de comprendre notre expérience du monde à l’heure où s’estompe la primauté du visible et du spatial.

Summary:
L’enjeu de ce volume est de comprendre notre expérience du monde à l’heure où s’estompe la primauté du visible et du spatial. Traitant de l’ambiance, mais plus encore des conditions d’air des architectures de l’ambiance, l’auteur met en lumière une évolution autant architecturale que politique. Penser (à) l’air, cet invisible par nature, véhicule de notre inconscient climatique, c’est repenser notre rapport à la production et au projet. Le projet, plutôt que projection, deviendrait processus, reflétant une transformation profonde des pratiques architecturales, alors que l’émergence de la notion d’espace laisserait place, et c’est la thèse de l’auteur, à un échec de l’espace. À travers l’examen critique de projets de Le Corbusier (Armée du Salut) et de Robain & Guieysse (Mie de Pain) à Paris, de Christophe Amsler et de Philippe Rahm, de SANAA (EPFL Learning Center, Lausanne) et de Lacaton & Vassal (École d’Architecture, Nantes), Emmanuel Doutriaux affronte le thème de l’ambiance – concept cardinal de notre contemporain – partagé entre phénoménologie, sociologie de l’action située et philosophie pragmatiste.

Summary:
Combining formal argument with informal conversations and design proposals, this title offers creative ideas for "thinking and acting architecture differently." What makes the book unique is the freshness of its voices — young architects and emerging practitioners who for the most part have not published before. Interwoven with their proposals are conversations among these new voices and more established authors and practitioners, including Sanford Kwinter, Sylvia Lavin, K. Michael Hays, Philippe Rahm, Liam Gillick, Teddy Cruz, and Michael Meredith. This publication investigates the inner contradictions tangling and obscuring architectural discourse. It locates architecture in a cultural, social, political, and situational landscape — the space it actually occupies in the contemporary world. Examining architecture as it comes into contact with other disciplines — including art, art history, cultural studies, curating, landscape architecture, neuroaesthetics, pedagogy, philosophy, political science, and urbanism — the book considers architecture's precarious position at the edge : at the edge of its own dilemmas and at the edge of "everything else." In different ways, all the contributors suggest how to understand the innovative possibilities and pitfalls of spatial practices—teasing, analyzing, and celebrating architecture's disciplinary ambiguity — with proposals that range from a "lo-res" architecture to one controlled by the curatorial impulse, from customizable "skins" on residential buildings to the collection of residual space for new uses. Their investigations encompass how to interpret, how to intervene, and how to imagine.
