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.

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:
As a whole, the works compiled in this volume constitute an unconscious autobiography of Colombia’s current aspirations and fears. They reveal that the nation is at a crossroads in terms of its cultural identity, caught between socio-political commitment and poetic escape, and offer tools to engender both economic and cultural ideas and prejudices. Over 60 artists and designers form a map that traces, challenges, and vindicates what it means to live in Colombia, embodying its contemporary historical memory. The initiative was conceived by Hugo Herrera Tobón, Moniek Dreisse, and Annelys de Vet to further encourage a discussion of the nation’s complex cultural identity.

Résumé:
Even a casual observer can spy traces of Islamic architecture and design on buildings all over the world, a reminder that artistic traditions and visual culture have never been limited to their region or country of origin, but rather are highly diffusible. This book brings together scholars from architectural studies, design, art history, and other fields to challenge and expand concepts of Islamic architecture. Ranging from eighteenth-century Ottoman tents to manifestations of Islamic motifs in 1960s Hawaii, this richly illustrated volume raises key questions about Islamic architecture, and, more broadly, about how we can rethink our understanding of material, artistic, and cultural mobility in the modern world.

Résumé:
Chandigarh is in India tells the stories of the city of Chandigarh through the works of Indian and Western artists. The Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier's weathered buildings have long circulated as the dominant image of Chandigarh. However, there is much else that is of importance behind and alongside his buildings.Seeking to present differing articulations by artists about Chandigarh, the book consciously makes room for all the freely associative, fantastical and complex responses that make this city so beguiling. It explores how the architecture and the city itself have been used, adopted and adapted in the creative process. Featured artists include Cyprien Gaillard, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Gavin Hipkins, Madan Mahatta, Manuel Bougot, Pradeep Dalal, Seher Shah, Shezad Dawood, Thukral and Tagra, and Yamini Nayar.

Résumé:
A protocol drawn up long ago in 1945 by Otto Koenigsberger, adopted in nearly one hundred instances in India and in more than half the world, provides the framework and rules for the planning of the prototypes of planned cities, and tells us that the so-called "participative architecture" aimed at intercultural inclusion, originated in the post-colonial territories between India and Africa. The catalogue, the fruition of a 5-year long Italian-Indian research, illustrates the consequences of democratic choice in independent India, its factual existence and its globalized outcomes, present even today. Presented in the installation, are four examples of Democratic New Towns – Jamshedpur, Bhubaneswar, Faridabad and Chandigarh- outcomes of the interface between the experiences of Frey, Drew and Le Corbusier and the ideas of their Indian counterparts, Varma, Doshi, Correa, Rewal. The cities are analytically described and documented through photographs of their present condition, preserved as the modern protected areas in Europe.

Résumé:
Entre le début de l'exploitation des ressources pétrolières (fin des années 1940) et l'invasion du pays par l'armée irakienne (fin des années 1980 ) en passant par l'indépendance (1961), le Koweït a connu de profondes transformations qui se reflètent dans le patrimoine bâti. L'autonomie politique et l'élévation du niveau de vie ont eu pour conséquence une modification radicale de la ville historique située sur la côte du golfe Persique. Les grands projets d'architecture et d'urbanisme lancés durant ces quatre décennies ont fourni à de grands architectes locaux et internationaux l'occasion de construire une ville nouvelle, de sorte que Koweït City présente aujourd'hui de nombreux exemples de l'architecture moderne classique. Résultat de plusieurs années de recherches interdisciplinaires, le présent ouvrage répertorie plus de cent cinquante bâtiments présentés avec des textes et des photos permettant de saisir la dynamique de changement qu'ils incarnent. Ces bâtiments reflètent une typologie et des styles très variés, mettent en évidence les différents moyens de s'adapter aux conditions climatiques locales et sont systématiquement présentés dans leur contexte urbanistique.
