Summary:
En dépit de la Crise financière de 2008, l'aménagement d'Abou Dhabi – et de sa smart city de Masdar non loin de l'aéroport – se poursuit. Grâce à son ralentissement structurel, on assiste depuis peu à un basculement de la capitale des Émirats arabes unis (600 000 habitants, troisième ville après Dubaï et Charjah) d'un modèle de « pétro-urbanisme » calqué sur les villes américaines énergivores (superhighways de bitume, murs-rideaux de verre et megamalls climatisés), vers celui d'un modèle plus durable, culturel et touristique, symbole de « l'après-pétrole ». Et alors que l'« île des Musées » de Saadiyat prend peu à peu forme, Masdar teste la limite des écocités solaires. Un historien et un urbaniste déchiffrent ici cette mutation.

Summary:
In recent architecture theory and practise there has been a tendency to refer to exteriors as a skin concealing an interior, as opposed to the traditional and more physical concepts of surface, flatness, and depth. The computer now enables the architect to call his design into life, free from the rigid material form, and view it as a flexible and interactive creation. In this book, the concepts of flatness and surface tension are examined in the light of virtual design and built reality. A selection of projects are presented to show how architects regard space and surfaces in modern architectural practice in the digital age.

Summary:
Ce premier essai porte sur l'Internationale situationiste mis en perspective avec Cobra, Potlach, l'Internationale lettriste et les mouvements artistiques et architecturaux anglais, etc. Il se fonde sur une très sérieuse documentation propre à éclaircir quelque peu les idées sur une époque occultée par certaines idéologies qui n'étaient pas des plus importantes.
