Résumé:
Au Sahara, mille ans d’une architecture exemplaire sans architecte ont inspiré une philosophie de la ville à André Ravéreau. Le progrès technique aujourd’hui, dans sa fuite en avant, ne permet plus aux architectes que d’être ses expérimentateurs. Dans ce périlleux exercice, et privés des certitudes anciennes, il nous faut donc redoubler de vigilance pour que l’architecture garde un sens. Une société, autrefois, a été poussée à choisir, en toute connaissance des prouesses techniques et des raffinements décoratifs d’alors, de partir des besoins élémentaires de l’homme, d’étudier les matériaux présents, le climat, et de construire sans ornements, dans la plus stricte et élémentaire logique.

Résumé:
Une contribution exceptionnelle à la connaissance de la physionomie architecturale, de la configuration urbanistique et du fonctionnement économique et social de l’al-Djazaïr ottomane : une telle étude de l’habitat “ moyen ”, réputé moins attractif au regard de l’histoire de l’art, n’avait jamais été entreprise dans sa globalité. En confrontant et en synthétisant l’ensemble des sources relatives à ce patrimoine (historiques, littéraires, graphiques, topographiques, archéologiques, socio-économiques, notariales, etc.), l’auteur propose aujourd'hui la première restitution fiable de la ville, l’ensemble étant considéré dans le continuum historique et urbain (de l’époque romane jusqu'à l’intégration de la ville comme Régence de l’Empire ottoman) et la sphère culturelle arabo-maghrébine qui en soulignent l’originalité. Plus de 180 planches, agrégats, figures, plans, élévations, gravures, manuscrits et photographies relatifs à la médina autant qu’à la maison individuelle sont reproduits in-texte et dans le CDRom iconographique qui accompagne l’ouvrage.

Résumé:
Besides the well-known masters of the 20th century such as Barragán, Niemeyer, and Costa, there is a vibrant and surprisingly varied architectural scene in Latin America just waiting to be discovered. Cultural diversity, an understanding of materials and regional character, a sensitive use of modern technology, and innovative yet aesthetic concepts all merge to produce stunning architecture. In this thematic publication Enrique Larrañaga, architect and Professor at the Simón Bolívar University in Caracas, presents some of the most exciting single-family houses built in recent years. Amongst the architects featured are Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Brazil), Ten Arquitectos with Enrique Norten (Mexico), Alberto Kalach (Mexico), Leopoldo Laguinge (Argentina), Enrique Browne (Chile). The buildings reveal the architecture of Latin America to be diverse, unique and avant-garde, well deserving a closer look.

Résumé:
Following two publications in 2016 and 2017 on Modern Architecture of Kuwait, this new publication expands on the growing interest for the building and urban practice exchange between territories throughout the Middle Eastern region which remains at the threshold of architectural theory, postcolonial critique, and visual cultures studies. This book format exposes relevant and critical material on the individual’s education and experiences as well as the architecture practice and influence in the Middle East. Using Kuwait as a case study and Pan Arab Modernism as a lens, this book comes to fill two voids in the literature on Middle Eastern architecture: one is in practice and the other is in history. The current practice of architecture in Kuwait, the Gulf and the larger Middle East, is typically a-contextual and lacking any understanding of the local context. The architectural history, on the other hand, ignores the larger context of the Middle East and the influence of Pan Arabism is not configured into many analyses. Thus, this project seeks to tackle both. By providing a [re]contextualizing of the architectural history of Kuwait and bringing forgotten protagonists back into the dialogue, a nuanced reading of Pan Arab Modern architecture emerges.

Résumé:
Comment, au-delà du symbole, les ruines deviennent un enjeu artistique. Depuis le début des années 1990 (fin de la guerre civile), Beyrouth connaît de profondes transformations. Instabilité politique, conflits armés, entreprises de reconstruction et spéculation foncière font de la ville un territoire en mutation permanente. Après avoir abordé la notion de patrimoine au Liban depuis 1840, l’autrice a identifié les formes d’une poétique des ruines – photographique, notamment - dont l’ambiguïté réside dans sa capacité à élever au rang de catégorie esthétique les traces d’une violence destructrice. Urbanistes, architectes, défenseurs du patrimoine, anciens propriétaires ou usagers de ces quartiers expriment attachement ou désaffection, faisant émerger des conceptions ordinaires ou savantes des objets urbains familiers comme des lieux symboliques de la ville.

Résumé:
After seizing Jerusalem's eastern precincts from Jordan at the conclusion of the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel unilaterally unified the city and plunged into an ambitious building program, eager to transform the very meaning of one of the world's most emotionally charged urban spaces. The goal was as simple as it was controversial: to both Judaize and modernize Jerusalem. Seizing Jerusalem, the first architectural history of "united Jerusalem," chronicles how numerous disciplines, including architecture, landscape design, and urban planning, as well as everyone from municipal politicians to state bureaucrats, from Israeli-born architects to international luminaries such as Louis Kahn, Buckminster Fuller, and Bruno Zevi, competed to create Jerusalem's new image. This decade-long competition happened with the Palestinian residents still living in the city, even as the new image was inspired by the city's Arab legacy. The politics of space in the Holy City, still contested today, were shaped in this post-1967 decade not only by the legacy of the war and the politics of dispossession, but curiously also by emerging trends in postwar architectural culture.Drawing on previously unexamined archival documents and in-depth interviews with architects, planners, and politicians, Alona Nitzan-Shiftan analyzes the cultural politics of the Israeli state and, in particular, of Jerusalem's influential mayor, Teddy Kollek, whose efforts to legitimate Israeli rule over Jerusalem provided architects a unique, real-world laboratory to explore the possibilities and limits of modernist design--as built form as well as political and social action. Seizing Jerusalem reveals architecture as an active agent in the formation of urban and national identity, and demonstrates how contemporary debates about Zionism, and the crisis within the discipline of architecture over postwar modernism, affected Jerusalem's built environment in ways that continue to resonate today.

Résumé:
"Chandigarh rethink" captures the rich, ongoing discourse on radically transforming urbanities within the Global South with specific reference to India's social, historical, economic and cultural repositioning. It examines urban edge 'figures' and their rural 'grounds', relevant not just to Chandigarh, but also to cities in general, while suggesting narrative strategies via provocative design studio design work. These introspections are framed within themed contributions from a globally recognized group of scholars who represent the diverse disciplines of architecture, planning, urban design, landscape ecologies and the humanities. As a topical publication on global urbanities transforming a 'signature' urban project, "Chandigarh rethink" anticipates the Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures (blc) program and SARUP's efforts to uniquely aligning urban research, pedagogy and critical design practice towards examining global urbanities that continue to defy normative urban analysis. Beyond serving as an exemplar for globally aware architectural schools nationwide and beyond, it is also directed to serve as an instructive primer for design students and instructors examining global urban sites.
