Summary:
« Une ruine nouvelle s’offre depuis une trentaine d’années, monumentale à sa manière et proliférante : villes détruites, murs en lambeaux, usines abandonnées qui ne cessent d’appeler le regard. Étrangement nous voulons toujours les voir, jamais repus de leur fouillis de natures mortes ou de leur austérité massive, jamais lassés malgré la répétition qui les constitue(...)

Étrangement nous voulons toujours les voir, jamais repus de leur fouillis de natures mortes ou de leur austérité massive, jamais lassés malgré la répétition qui les constitue pourtant aujourd’hui en lieu commun. Il faut le reconnaître : la ruine est un objet d’amour. Elle nous tient à la merci de ses images qui, toujours plus vues et connues, ne perdent en rien de leur pouvoir d’attraction. Cette avidité qui fait que la ruine est partout et que s’en multiplient les images dans les galeries et sur les écrans, réelles ou fictionnelles, contient une dimension d’énigme. Quel est cet objet qui, si pauvre et sale et revu soit-il, nous tient ainsi l’œil en haleine ? Quel est ce désir de ruine ? » -D. S.

Moreover, in places like London, New York, Paris, and Berlin, increasing numbers of people are seeking access to the rivers, harbours, and canals in the built environment. Rivers and their banks are gradually being seen as natural public resources, a place of leisure that is both convenient and firmly anchored in everyday life. Together with an exhibition at the Swiss Architecture Museum, this book documents this recent phenomenon, exploring how cities can reclaim their waters as a spatial resource and sustainably improve the quality of urban life.

Les îles sont des lieux de vie, une vie singulière, et on s'interroge aujourd'hui sur les possibilités de la préserver, de l'entretenir, mais aussi de la projeter vers le futur. Comment agir dans les îles pour y maintenir et y développer des cadres de vie satisfaisants pour les populations qui y résident ? Comment y faire coexister des usages, des intérêts, des volontés hétérogènes portées par des populations aux activités et aux aspirations différentes ? Comment, surtout, répondre aux défis environnementaux, qui touchent aussi bien aux questions de biodiversité végétale et animale qu'à celles de la qualité des conditions spatiales, paysagères et architecturales de la vie sociale ? Ce numéro des Carnets du paysage envisage aussi les îles comme des mondes imaginaires et comme le cadre d'expériences particulières où s'expriment les notions de singularité et d'étrangeté, vécues comme éloignement et isolement.

Summary:
''Digital Monuments'' radically explodes "iconic architecture" of the new millennium and its hijacking of the public imagination via the digital image. Hallucinatory constructions such as Rem Koolhaas’s CCTV headquarters in Beijing, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Zaha Hadid’s Performing Arts Centre in Abu Dhabi are all introduced to the world by immortal digital imagery that floods the internet- yet comes to haunt the actualised buildings. Like holograms, these "digital monuments," which violently push physics and engineering to their limits, flicker eerily between the real and the unreal- invoking fantasies of omnipotence, immortality and utopian cities. But this experience of iconic architecture as a digital dream on the ground conceals from the urban spectator the social reality of the buildings and the rigidity of their ideology.

Summary:
Where is the space for dreaming in the twenty-first century? Lofty thoughts, like dreams, are born and live overhead, just as they have been represented in Renaissance paintings and modern cartoons. Ceilings are often repositories of stories, events and otherwise invisible oneiric narratives. Yet environments that inspire innovative thinking are dwindling as our world confronts enormous challenges, and almost all of our thinking, debating and decision-making takes place under endless ceiling grids. Quantitative research establishes that spaces with taller ceilings elicit broader, more creative thoughts. Today, ceilings are usually squat conduits of technology: they have become the blind spot of modern architecture. The twenty essays in this book look across cultures, places and ceilings over time to discover their potential to uplift the human spirit. Not just one building element among many, the ceiling is a key to unlock the architectural imagination.

Summary:
''How to read architecture'' is based on the fundamental premise that reading and interpreting architecture is something we already do, and that close observation matters. This book enhances this skill so that given an unfamiliar building, you will have the tools to understand it and to be inspired by it. Author Paulette Singley encourages you to misread, closely read, conventionally read, and unconventionally read architecture to stimulate your creative process. This book explores three essential ways to help you understand architecture: reading a building from the outside-in, from the inside-out, and from the position of out-and-out, or formal, architecture. Using examples and case studies that span a wide range of historical and global precedents, Singley addresses the complex interaction among the ways a building engages its context, addresses its performative exigencies, and operates as an autonomous aesthetic object.
