Résumé:
Alors que vient d'être lancé le programme pluriannuel 2002-2005 de la recherche architecturale et urbaine, soutenu par le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, un état des lieux des productions scientifiques dans les écoles d'architecture paraissait opportun. Plutôt que de confier à des experts la rédaction de contributions sur les grandes thématiques concernées -conception, histoire, usages, technique, etc.-, il a été demandé aux équipes et laboratoires habilités par le bureau de la recherche architecturale et urbaine (Brau) de fournir un texte sur leur position, tant scientifique que pratique, par rapport à un thème fédérateur et d'actualité : l'interdisciplinarité. La parole ainsi donnée aux chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs reflète la diversité des objets, des approches, des méthodes et des terrains d'investigation, tout en constituant une manière d'autoprésentation. L'unicité de la question posée autorise également des lectures comparatives. Le présent numéro est constitué, outre de ces contributions spécifiques, d'une préface de Jean-Jacques Aillagon, ministre de la Culture et de la Communication, et d'un article généraliste sur l'interdisciplinarité par un chantre de celle-ci, Edgar Morin.

Résumé:
**OUT OF PRINT / EPUISÉ** Urban places can only be considered a success if they are being used. Here an overview of thriving squares and urban spaces in European architecture. What would a town be without squares? It is precisely these open spaces which give the built areas their meaning, function and character. Squares provide a breathing space within the structure of the city, separating and joining. They are the stage for urban actors, the heart of the political and social life of an urban community, and as such designing new squares or redesigning existing ones is one of the most delightful tasks for architects, urban planners and landscape architects. Open-air and multi-functional, squares are always unique and more strongly defined by their surroundings than buildings. This book presents the best and most attractive squares which have been presented in individual Topos magazines since 1993. It contains successful examples from Barcelona, Lyon, Reykjavik, Verona, Dublin and Vienna. Some of the examples, for instance, the Schouwerburgplein in Rotterdam, the Place des Terraux in Lyon or the Gustav-Adolf-Torg in Malmö were much discussed even criticized. Yet they bear the confident signature of their designer and a distinctive interplay of material and form, art and commerce, work and fun.

Résumé:
New ideas and concepts for urban architecture and landscape architecture from the Netherlands: this survey takes stock of the current situation. In any discussion on contemporary landscape architecture, visionary urban development or revolutionary building, it is impossible to overlook the Netherlands. The experts look to this small, flat country which constantly seeks to exceed its narrow boundaries by creating new space. The Netherlands is crowded and so it is hardly surprising that architects endeavour to "stack" landscapes and functions as the Dutch pavilion in the Expo 2000, designed by MVRDV demonstrated. Here, new ideas and concepts in architecture and landscape design fall on the fertile ground. Rem Koolhaas had prepared the way: nothing must stay as it is, even the open countryside and the towns can be changed, moulded, shaped. The Dutch are experts at building in the sea, on polders, on man-made islands, and on former harbour areas as in Rotterdam Kop van Zuid. Architecture and landscape architecture are not only a matter of public interest but they are ongoing processes in the Netherlands, and this is reflected in many of the projects in this book which include the gardens and squares of West 8, the Museumsplein in Amsterdam, the town planning in Zutphen or Apeldoorn. The examples have all been published in different contexts in Topos, but this is the first time that they have been collated to provide an illuminating overview of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

Résumé:
What happens when one gives a simple rubber band to an architect, historian, choreographer, chemist, artist, mathematician, physicist, economist, anthropologist, and geologist and asks each of them for a statement on elasticity? The economist studies the elasticity of supply and demand of market forces. “The Pars Foundation” draws researchers out of their specialized niches in order to publish their brilliant, crazy, important, or bewildering results and assembles them in this interdisciplinary volume. There are no guidelines for the form their contributions must take. It may be images, poems, essays, sketches, formulas or a piece of sculpture; the editors only ask that a contribution reect the respondent’s own field as well as his or her passion for the topic.

Résumé:
In 2009, the Dolder Grand celebrates its first birthday following a four-year remodelling by Foster+Partners. To mark the occasion, this publication outlines the history of an iconic institution, steeped in tradition, from its beginnings as a Kurhaus in 1899 to its present-day reincarnation. Photographers from the Zurich studio nave have documented the entire project throughout every stage of the refurbishment, charting the scope of the hotel’s metamorphosis. They portray the people who made it all possible and also allow them to speak for themselves. The resulting narrative in pictures and words is not simply a linear documentation, but a rich and complex tapestry in which text and image are interwoven with a lyricism that brings the architecture to life on the pages of the book. Journalist Judith Wyder complements the photographs with anecdotes that give a many-facetted insight into the operational logistics behind the scenes in the day-to-day running of the hotel. In addition, she details the painstaking restoration work, the history of the hotel itself and the names of some of its most famous guests. Dutch novelist Cees Nooteboom has contributed an essay in which he describes the hotel as a microcosm and a home away from home, musing on how guests tend to take possession of the hotels they stay in.
