Summary:
Lars Lerup's conceptual explorations as a designer and thinker have been inspired by philosophers and artists from Foucault to Beckett. Lerup's furniture designs elude consumer culture. They conform neither to what is commonly understood as useful nor to what is typically regarded as necessary. They question the assumed functions of furniture and, at the same time, their assigned place in space. His pieces interrogate their roles and positions and introduce a disturbing or at least disconcerting note to conventional floor plans. This autobiography of a design project is about rendering visible the consumerism that is driving the current economically motivated expansion of our cities, and dealing with the consequences for the environment and society.

Summary:
This volume overturns the perception of Brutalist buildings as the penny-pinching, utilitarian products of dutiful social concern. Instead it looks a little closer, uncovering the luxuriously skilled craft and daring engineering with which the best buildings of the 1960s came into being: magnificent architectural visions serving clients rich and poor, radical and conservative. Beginning in a tiny hermitage on the remote north Scottish coast, and ending up backstage at the National Theatre, this book embarks on a wide-ranging journey through Britain over the past sixty years, stopping to examine how eight extraordinary buildings were made - from commission to construction - why they have been so vilified, and why they are beginning to be loved.

Summary:
Philosophy exercises a massive influence on contemporary architectural culture and the understanding of the built environment. Discussions of architects and architectural academics are heavily loaded with theoretical ideas, concepts and views imported from the works of philosophers. At the same time this architectural employment of philosophy rarely goes beyond the tendency to mine philosophical works for ideas, words and phrases and use them, often without much understanding, in order to promote architectural agendas and embellish theoretical claims made by architects and academics. The book presents the history of this phenomenon for the past hundred years. It describes and analyzes numerous examples of false intellectual pretense across prominent architectural influences of the era and their efforts to bamboozle readers, colleagues and the general public.

Ennemi du stalinisme avant la destalinisation, de Gaulle dès mai 58 et des guerres coloniales, pourfendeur de la misère des intellectuels français, de la paresse des militants et de toutes les idéologies de la mauvaise conscience, inspirateur rarement cité de Debord et de Deleuze, ami de Bataille et de Blanchot, lecteur de Nietzsche et de Saint-Just, acteur de mai 68, révolutionnaire, Dionys Mascolo appartient à la tradition cachée du communisme français, celle qui fait que ce mot est demeuré malgré tout prononçable dans la seconde partie du xxe siècle – le communisme non comme idée, perspective ou hypothèse, mais comme exigence et mouvement vitaux, comme impossibilité de s’accommoder de ce qui est, comme refus du mensonge social. On trouvera dans ce recueil des textes s’étalant des années 1950 aux années 1980, et témoignant du vaste champ d’intervention de Dionys Mascolo.
