Summary:
Exposée, médiatisée, encensée ou critiquée, la mode définit une partie conséquente de l’histoire matérielle de nos sociétés, et est un indéniable agent d’intelligibilité du contemporain. À l’image de son industrie complexe et mobile, elle constitue une discipline en devenir, un champ de recherche interdisciplinaire qui s’est progressivement approprié les grilles d’analyse et les outils critiques des sciences voisines, tout en se nourrissant de ses propres paradoxes et ambiguïtés. Entre permanence et nouveauté, matérialité et immatérialité, cet ouvrage a pour vocation de témoigner de la richesse de ce champ de création en esquissant un état des lieux de la pensée sur, par et pour la mode.

Summary:
This bilingual French-English publication retraces the "Visible, Invisible" exhibition, curated by Nicolas Dorval-Bory and Guillaume Ramillien, held in 2022 at the Versailles School of Architecture, as part of the second edition of the Île-de-France Architecture and Landscape Biennale (BAP!2). In the image of the eponymous exhibition, the editorial project presents a series of inspiring opportunities, via the display and analysis of international contemporary practices, aiming to rethink the act of inhabiting the world in the era of the Anthropocene and the crises that are shaking it. These recent reflections draw upon architectural experimentation from the 1960s, symbols of an ecological awakening within the discipline and a reassessment of the precepts of Modernism. "In the face of ecological emergency, how can new architectural forms emerge from locally available materials and energy?"

Summary:
Le mot «Songline» renvoie à un système de connaissances propre aux populations autochtones d'Australie. Des histoires inscrites au coeur des territoires y consignent les savoirs écologiques, cosmologiques, topographiques et sociaux nécessaires au développement durable des sociétés. Explorant les songlines de trois régions du centre et de l'ouest de l'Australie, toutes liées à l'histoire fondatrice des Sept Soeurs, cet ouvrage retrace des pans de ce récit d'envergure universelle, tel que souhaitent le transmettre aux jeunes générations les aînés de ces communautés aborigènes. Les Soeurs et leur implacable poursuivant, un sorcier aux multiples visages, se révèlent ainsi dans une narration sensorielle. Elles apparaissent et disparaissent continuellement dans les paysages, à l'intérieur des sources, dans les collines, les rochers, les arbres - et jusque dans les étoiles qui nous surplombent.

Summary:
There's no getting around it anymore. We are in an age of globalization, and cities around the world are being challenged in brand new ways with no historical precedents to guide them. The highly anticipated international building exhibition IBA Hamburg 2013 is preparing to tackle the many challenges that apply to metropolises around the world in our era, asking difficult questions and soliciting innovative responses. Socially and geographically, how can we bring peripheral districts back into the city? How can we tap the full potential of international urban society? How can we cope with the requirements of climate change? This first installment of a ten-volume series leading up to the 2013 conference features retrospective documentation of former German building exhibitions, an outlook to the IBA Hamburg and complex considerations of the metropolis phenomenon.

His artistry in geometrical compositions is based on a minimum of plastic means and inspired by mathematical principles. He depicts in this way new products of technological innovation in the fields of pharmaceutics, design industry or printing among others.

Summary:
Skate-parks in abandoned industrial estates, ponies grazing alongside the former Berlin Wall, flea markets in disused warehouses, music and fashion in hard-to-let stores and climbing walls in development niches – scarcely a city in Europe has been so radically characterized by temporary use projects as has Berlin. Temporary use projects are increasingly of strategic importance for urban development, for space pioneers open up new development prospects at disused sites that defy the traditional urban planning. Combining a documentation of over 40 temporary use projects in Berlin with a series of essays and interviews, this book offers comprehensive insight into current discourse and proposes new guidelines for how temporary use projects might shape urban development.

Summary:
This edition of Perspecta, the oldest and most distinguished student-edited architectural journal in America, investigates the transformation of capital cities in the era of globalization. This redevelopment, renewal, and recycling of the urban landscape--termed by the editors as "Re_Urbanism"--takes place as capital cities try both to cater to an influx of global capital and to reassert their roles as symbols of national sovereignty. Re_Urbanism investigates this process from an architectural perspective. The contributors explore the various ways capital cities struggle to assert their vitality and continuing relevance, examining capitals that compete internally with their own global counterparts (Abu Dhabi vs. Dubai), capitals that must be rebuilt after periods of destruction (Belgrade and Baghdad), and capital cities that are responding to hyperbolic development (Beijing, New Delhi, Kuwait City). Some cities are examined for their impact on border politics (Washington D.C.) while others reveal mythologies parallel to their modernist origins (Brasilia).
