Summary:
Au fil de ces entretiens, Alain Corbin restitue les formes d'appréciation de l'espace, de la Renaissance à nos jours. Le paysage est, en effet, une manière de lire l'espace, de se le représenter, de le charger de significations et d'émotions. Il est une lecture indissociable de la personne qui le contemple. Il sollicite tous les sens, et se consttruit selon des systèmes(...)

Il sollicite tous les sens, et se consttruit selon des systèmes de croyances, de convictions scientifiques et des codes esthétiques. De l'anxièté au désir, de l'aménagement à la conservation, ce parcours illustré dessine l'évolution des postures, des formes de représentation et de maîtrise qui nous unissent au paysage.

Summary:
La médiocrité esthétique et le fonctionnalisme primaire de la reconstruction post 1945 sécrète une crise durable qui affecte l’architecture et l’urbanisme dans l’ensemble du monde occidental. A la "Cité radieuse" des années 1930 succède, au milieu du siècle, une nouvelle utopie la "Mégastructure". Hybride colossal traversant des territoires sans frontières, elle règle du même élan, et l’architecture, et l’urbanisme, et les infrastructures. Mais l’engouement pour ces grandes machines sensées résoudre les problèmes à l’échelle planétaire s’émousse durant les sixties. La "Mégastructure" cède le pas à l’"Architecture radicale", ce faisant on assiste au basculement d’une approche de l’architecture dont les références sont le besoin et la construction à une autre dont les références sont l’immédiateté et la consommation, les objets mobiles et le plaisir du corps. Cette transformation correspond au passage d’une architecture conçue en terme de progrès social et de bonheur humain, à une architecture de la révélation du monde existant. Première monographie exhaustive sur la période, Superarchitecture est abondamment illustrée à l’aide d’une iconographie originale issue des archives des Smithson, d’Hollein, de Fuller, Friedman, Archigram, Price, Archizoom, Superstudio, etc. De l’utopie critique qui se dégage des projets de ces acteurs et de la puissance évocatrice de leurs dessins, les architectes contemporains comme Koolhaas, Tschumi ou MRDV se sont fortement inspirés pour construire leur univers conceptuel.

Summary:
Le géographe Marcel Roncayolo s'est consacré à l'étude des phénomènes urbains, à l'analyse des formes matérielles et sociales de la ville, de ses paysages et de ses représentations, en les inscrivant dans une perspective plus large et historique, à l'instar de l'école des "Annales", et dans la continuité de Lucien Febvre, Ernest Labrousse et Maurice Halbwachs. Les vingt-quatre textes de recherche réunis dans cet ouvrage couvrent tous ces thèmes de recherche depuis la fin des années cinquante et retracent l'évolution de sa pensée. Pour la plupart devenus introuvables, ils sont ici sélectionnés, présentés par l'auteur et font l'objet d'une lecture réactualisée. Ils rendent compte d'un intérêt constant pour la ville en ses mutations qu'on peut approcher dans des formes et dans ses temps. Car, s'il n'y a pas qu'une lectures de la ville, il y a en revanche permanence des processus qui mettent en jeu acteurs et structures physiques à travers des temps différents : ceux de la fabrication, des usages et des pratiques. Ce recueil s'adresse d'abord aux acteurs - architectes, urbanistes, géographes ou sociologues - mais également à l'usager ou à l'observateur en évoquant l'importance et la légitimité de chacun des regards et en donnant toute sa dimension, profondément humaine donc évolutive et complexe, à la ville.

Focusing on images and descriptions of movement and spectacle-everyday street activities, congregations in market piazzas, life in the Jewish ghetto and the plague hospital, papal and other ceremonial processions, public punishment, and pilgrimage routes-Rose Marie San Juan uncovers the social tensions and conflicts within seventeenth century Roman society that are both concealed within and prompted by mass-produced representations of the city. These depictions of Rome-guidebooks, street posters, broadsheets and brochures, topographic and thematic maps, city views, and collectible images of landmarks and other famous sights-redefined the ways in which public space was experienced, controlled, and utilized, encouraging tourists, pilgrims, and penitents while constraining the activities and movements of women, merchants, dissidents, and Jews.

Summary:
No Man’s Land’ is a surreal and terrifying place, a world at once horrific and hilarious. We know that human beings people these places, but they have scurried away, leaving behind nothing but furniture, machines, instruments, walls, floors, lighting – the impersonal, neutral artefacts of modern existence. An air of claustrophobia hangs over everything: there is no way in and no way out of such stifling spaces, either physically or ideologically. We need a good deal of persuading that environments as extraordinary as these actually exist in the real world. But they do, and for thirty years Lynne Cohen has been searching them out and recording them. She collects fragments of the real world photographically and turns them into found installations. ‘From the first photographs I made’, she has said, ‘I felt the world couldn’t be like this. It seemed as if it was full of finished works of art.’ Her fascination with synthetic materials adds a further distancing coldness to these disturbing images. These are images that force us to ask ourselves what kind of world we have made. "No Man’s Land" includes a critique of Cohen’s work by photographic curator Ann Thomas, an interview with the photographer, and a preface by Pierre Théberge and William A. Ewing
