Materiality has now become a key theme in the debate on architecture. Marble, brick, steel – the material conveys non-material ideas and, like space, determines the appearance of architecture. For the first time, the book deals with the subject from a historic point of view whilst reflecting current interdisciplinary findings. Examples from Aalto to Zumthor illustrate the(...)

Summary:
Industrialisation, mechanisation and expansion have wrought profound changes on European cities and the surrounding landscapes in the last century. As regards the positive social and healthy development of inhabitants, landscape planning has become an integral part of all urban planning. Sometimes it is possible to truly merge nature and architecture. “best of DETAIL Landscape” presents highlights of the past few years from DETAIL: buildings that disappear into their surroundings, lush meadows revealed as roofscapes only after closer inspection, paths and walkways through jungle-like gardens. Architecture and cities can no longer be counterpoints to nature and the landscape. Rather they should strive to create stunning symbioses.

Urbanization is transforming the planet, within and beyond cities, at all spatial scales. In this book, Neil Brenner mobilizes the tools of critical urban theory to deconstruct some of the dominant urban discourses of our time, which naturalize, and thus depoliticize, the enclosures, exclusions, injustices and irrationalities of neoliberal urbanism.

Summary:
Urbanization is transforming the planet, within and beyond cities, at all spatial scales. In this book, Neil Brenner mobilizes the tools of critical urban theory to deconstruct some of the dominant urban discourses of our time, which naturalize, and thus depoliticize, the enclosures, exclusions, injustices and irrationalities of neoliberal urbanism. In so doing, Brenner advocates a constant reinvention of the framing categories, methods and assumptions of critical urban theory in relation to the rapidly mutating geographies of capitalist urbanization. Only a theory that is dynamic—which is constantly being transformed in relation to the restlessly evolving social worlds and territorial landscapes it aspires to grasp—can be a genuinely critical theory.

L’entretien d’artiste s’est propagé dans le champs de l’art depuis les années 1960-70, témoignant d’un rejet progressif de la critique formaliste, et a consacré comme modèle une forme nouvelle célébrant la subjectivité du discours et le retour au récit, au biographique. L'interview, qui promet authenticité ainsi qu'un accès direct et personnel à l’œuvre, est omniprésente dans les catalogues et revue d’art; elle est également devenue la matière même de projets artistiques et a émergé, plus récemment, comme méthode de recherche dans le champ de l'histoire de l’art (oral history).
