Actes de la septième conférence internationale de DOCOMONO (Paris, 16-19 septembre 2002): "Vers une histoire culturelle de la modernité architecturale : les démarches radicales s'inscrivent souvent dans un espace transcendant. C'est ce qui est arrivé à la modernité architecturale, bien connue pour ses héros, ses icônes, ses manifestes et ses intentions sociales généreuses. Mais comment l'architecture, art de l'utilitas, aurait-elle pu se délier des contraintes du XXe siècle ? Elle est bien la fille des mythes, des contradictions, des aspirations et plus encore, des rapports de force en transformation du siècle passé." Proceedings of the seventh international conference DOCOMOMO : "radical approaches often subscribe to the notion of the transcendence of time. This assertion characterize architecural modernity, with its celebrated heroes, icons, manifestoes and noble social intentions. Yet how could architecture, the art of utilitas, have entirely freed itself from the constraints of the rwentieth century? Indeed architectural modernity emerges directly from the myths, the aspirations and, even more, the changing power relations of the century past."

These have not only been influential because they reveal the technical and constructive uses of the material, but also because they show stone as an element of architectural language.

Et pour une fois l’architecture en était, de ce vaste Mouvement dont la majuscule traduisait l’effervescence autant que la diffusion des idées de Mai. Entre mémoire et histoire, à l’écoute des acteurs à défaut d’avoir pu rassembler ses propres souvenirs, l’auteur met à nu les racines de la scène architecturale française contemporaine en retraçant les dernières années de l’École des Beaux-Arts. S’y croisent les univers et les réseaux, les affiliations politiques et les jeux d’acteurs, entre une administration d’abord conciliante puis dépassée par les événements et des architectes en herbe aux allures de « jeunes turcs », au moment où les méthodes deviennent des méthodologies ; la forme, un signe ; l’architecture, une syntaxe ; et un courant architectural, un code. Alors que l’enseignement de l’architecture se sépare brutalement de la profession sans gagner tout à fait les rivages de l’Université, alors que s’effondre le système des Beaux-Arts remplacé bientôt par celui des concours, l’élite encore fragile des architectes français emboîte le pas du vaste mouvement de libéralisation et de décentralisation qui allait si profondément modifier la société française.

Summary:
In the next few years, emerging practices in interactive architecture are set to transform the built environment. Whereas 'smart' design was once regarded as the preserve of museum exhibit or Jumbotrom advertising screens, 'multi-mediated' interactive design has now entered every domain of public and private life. As a spatial medium, interactive design is revolutionising and reinventing our homes, as well as our work and leisure spaces. Essays and interviews by international commentators Lucy Bullivant, guest editor of the issue, Ole Bouman, Antonino Saggio, Stefano Mirti and Walter Aprile and Mike Weinstock on the cultural issues raised by the emergence of interactive architecture will be complemented with features on acclaimed practitioners Christian Moller, Tobi Schneidler, Ron Arad and Jason Bruges. Benchmark interactive projects in this issue evolving new models of interdisciplinary teamwork include The Media House, led by Metapolis, IaaC and the MIT Media Lab and projects conceived at the Interactive Institute, Ivrea, Italy. New work is also featured by KDa/Toshio Iwai; realities: united, Usman Haque, Adam Somlai-Fischer, Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen, Lars Spuybroek and the Institute of Neuro-Informatics, ETH, Zurich, Kitchen Rogers Design; IDEO, and Tom Barker, b consultants/SmartSlab.
