Résumé:
Il serait difficile de nier que les ruines occupent une place de plus en plus grande dans l'imaginaire de notre temps. Nous ne parlons pas ici des ruines antiques et gothiques, mais de l'espace délabré des villes contemporaines, comprenant les usines désaffectées, les gares abandonnées, tous les lieux oubliés de la modernité. L'aura noire d'une ville comme Detroit, Pompéi(...)

Nous ne parlons pas ici des ruines antiques et gothiques, mais de l'espace délabré des villes contemporaines, comprenant les usines désaffectées, les gares abandonnées, tous les lieux oubliés de la modernité. L'aura noire d'une ville comme Detroit, Pompéi actuelle de la désindustrialisation, nimbe chaque bâtiment délaissé du monde. Elle est devenue en quelque temps la Mecque de l'exploration urbaine, dont le Detroit's Michigan Theater transformé en parking représente le cube de la Kaaba autour duquel tournoient les nouveaux pèlerins du Hajj de la dévastation urbaine. La ruine industrielle appartient encore pour une grande part au culte classique du monument effondré. Elle en rejoue la grandeur passée, l'évocation nostalgique de la civilisation fragile et mortelle. Dans les colonnes d'un temple ruiné ou dans les usines en friche, ce sont encore les beaux restes d'un Empire que l'on loue. Nous sommes entrés dans le troisième âge de la ruine. Après le temps des ruines antiques, puis celui ces ruines modernes, voici l'ère de la ruine instantanée, de la ruine du présent lui-même qui, née de l'urgence et vaincue par elle, ne dure plus, mais s'efface au moment même de son édification.

It offers glimpses of buildings by the German based office of BOLLES+WILSON, but it is not a monograph, it presents a cloud of discursive subjects and narratives, evidencing Wilson’s take on a wide range of academic, technical, cultural, and architectural issues.

''Bedtime stories for architects'' is a compendium of texts, built works and graphic work by Peter Wilson. It offers glimpses of buildings by the German based office of BOLLES+WILSON, but it is not a monograph, it presents a cloud of discursive subjects and narratives, evidencing Wilson’s take on a wide range of academic, technical, cultural, and architectural issues. It has been called ‘tremendously cutting-edge’, perhaps because of the wry humor of the stories and Wilson’s witty and intelligent drawings – these extend to satirical portraits of – bankers, estate agents, property developers and a few OK people. Much of the book is organized alphabetically like a children’s book – A is for Albania, C is for Counterfactual Histories, G is for Guggenheim, M is for Malevich, O is for Olgiati, R is for Ritual. Counterfactual Histories (a concept from Borges) are paint-shop illustrated as surprising, poetic and enigmatic landscapes. ‘A Blue Review’ deconstructs a book on colour in architecture. Between the enigmatic graphic works are longer texts including Wilson’s extensive analysis of Studio Mumbai (first published in El Croquis), a longer investigation of the Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati and a history of Modernism in Wilson’s home country Australia.

The 1912 recognition of Albania as an entity on the international horizon is paralleled by our own initial encounter with this Balkan enigma (some fifteen years after the collapse of Albanian Communism).

In both cases there were pre-histories to be taken on board and post-histories to be orchestrated. These are the parallel subjects of this book. Bolles+Wilson were one of three architectural offices invited to the international competition for a Masterplan to re-script the central axis of Tirana. They designed two rooms within the Rationalist edifice, one the office of Deputy Prime Minister Nico Paleshi, and nearby a room called ‚''Prime Minister’s Think Tank''.

For centuries, architectural theory, discourse and agency have been based on diurnal and solar paradigms. References to night in Vitruvius’s De architectura are few, and the same absence is notable in Renaissance treatises by Alberti or Palladio.

Résumé:
For centuries, architectural theory, discourse and agency have been based on diurnal and solar paradigms. References to night in Vitruvius’s De architectura are few, and the same absence is notable in Renaissance treatises by Alberti or Palladio. It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that the invention and institutionalization of artificial light in private and public spaces gradually transformed conceptions of night in the architectural discipline. This volume offers the first attempt at a nocturnal history of architecture. What emerges from the studies is the thesis that the identity of human beings—across time and their domestic, professional and cultural spaces—is powerfully determined by the parameters of nighttime. By analyzing and studying "night scenes," this book reveals how the night is a laboratory for the development of new forms of conceptualizing space and, ultimately, of living.

Résumé:
Cities around the world are striving to be global. This book tells the story of one of them, and in so doing raises questions which are essential for all cities. These questions concern identity, place, and political responsibility in the changing geographies of our times. The book also tells the story of the rise of a new class, of deepening inequality, and of the geographical imaginations that are mobilised to legitimate the increasing dominance of these powerful metropoles. In so doing, it sets the global city in its wider geographical and political context. World City focuses its account on London, one of the greatest of these global cities. London is a city of delight and of creativity, of the generation of vast wealth and of acute poverty. It also presides over a country increasingly divided between North and South and over a neo-liberal form of globalisation the deregulation, financialisation and commercialisation of all aspects of life that results in an evermore unequal world.World City explores how we can understand this complex narrative and asks a question that should be asked of any city: what does this place stand for? This book will appeal to students of human geography, politics and sociology as well as to the general reader.

Résumé:
A l'heure de la "mondialisation" et de la mobilité généralisée, alors même que les sociétés modernes ont tendance à occulter le contenu anthropologique de l'espace, comment rendre compte de la complexité des espaces vécus ? De la dimension culturelle des territoires ? Car la banalité des espaces ordinaires recouvre une dimension cosmologique : nos espaces quotidiens, à différentes échelles (domicile, quartier, ville, territoire), sont empreints de règles, obéissent à des conventions, répondent à des valeurs, le plus souvent implicites. La démarche de l'auteure pour répondre à ces interrogations s'ancre ici dans une réflexion sur les formes et les usages de l'espace dans différentes sociétés. Car si toutes partagent des "universaux", Fonder, Habiter, Classer et Distribuer, Transformer et Reformuler, pour autant, ces opérations communes se déclinent de diverses manières que l'ouvrage examine, montrant comment s'instaurent, aujourd'hui comme hier, ces liens entre espaces et sociétés. Ainsi, l'auteure analyse notamment la rencontre et le renforcement des rapports en France, après Mai 1968, entre sciences sociales, architecture et urbanisme. Destiné aux étudiants, chercheurs, professionnels opérant dans et sur l'espace, mais aussi aux citadins "ordinaires", ce travail leur apportera les outils indispensables à une appréhension globale de la problématique anthropologique des espaces.

Résumé:
Architecture is often thought to be a diary of a society, filled with symbolic representations of specific cultural moments. However, as Craig L. Wilkins observes, that diary includes far too few narratives of the diverse cultures in U.S. society. Wilkins states that the discipline of architecture has a resistance to African Americans at every level, from the startlingly small number of architecture students to the paltry number of registered architects in the United States today. Working to understand how ideologies are formed, transmitted, and embedded in the built environment, Wilkins deconstructs how the marginalization of African Americans is authorized within the field of architecture. He then outlines how activist forms of expression shape and sustain communities, fashioning an architectural theory around the site of environmental conflict constructed by hip-hop culture. Wilkins places his concerns in a historical context, and also offers practical solutions to address them. In doing so, he reveals new possibilities for an architecture that acknowledges its current shortcomings and replies to the needs of multicultural constituencies.

Résumé:
We surround ourselves with material things that are invested with memories but can only stand for what we have lost. Physical objects—such as one’s own body—situate and define us; yet at the same time they are fundamentally indifferent to us. The melancholy of this rift is a rich source of inspiration for artists. Peter Schwenger deftly weaves together philosophical and psychoanalytical theory with artistic practice. Concerned in part with the act of collecting, The Tears of Things is itself a collection of exemplary art objects—literary and cultural attempts to control and possess things—including paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe and René Magritte; sculpture by Louise Bourgeois and Marcel Duchamp; Joseph Cornell’s boxes; Edward Gorey’s graphic art; fiction by Virginia Woolf, Georges Perec, and Louise Erdrich; the hallucinatory encyclopedias of Jorge Luis Borges and Luigi Serafini; and the corpse photographs of Joel Peter Witkin. However, these representations of objects perpetually fall short of our aspirations. Schwenger examines what is left over—debris and waste—and asks what art can make of these. What emerges is not an art that reassembles but one that questions what it means to assemble in the first place. Contained in this catalog of waste is that ultimate still life, the cadaver, where the subject-object dichotomy receives its final ironic reconciliation. Peter Schwenger is professor of English at Mount St. Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is the author of Fantasm and Fiction: On Textual Envisioning, Letter Bomb: Nuclear Holocaust and the Exploding Word, and Phallic Critiques: Masculinity and Twentieth-Century Literature.

Résumé:
Notre habitation, notre habitat, l'espace où nous évoluons est un médium que nous croyons façonner selon notre désir, selon l'image que nous voulons donner de nous-même selon notre ego. En fait, il restitue nos craintes et nos joies, qui ressurgissent du plus lointain de notre mémoire génétique. Notre habitation n'est que le reflet de nous-mêmes. Ce n'est pas seulement l'architecture sacrée qui véhicule des symboles mais la plus simple demeure reflète aussi des archétypes qui proviennent de la tradition primordiale.

Résumé:
Notre habitation, notre habitat, l'espace où nous évoluons est un médium que nous croyons façonner selon notre désir, selon l'image que nous voulons donner de nous-même selon notre ego. En fait, il restitue nos craintes et nos joies, qui ressurgissent du plus lointain de notre mémoire génétique. Notre habitation n'est que le reflet de nous-mêmes. Ce n'est pas seulement l'architecture sacrée qui véhicule des symboles mais la plus simple demeure reflète aussi des archétypes qui proviennent de la tradition primordiale. Des premières croyances humaines pour les déesses mères, comme Gaia, la terre nourricière jusqu'à la Sophia, la sagesse grecque. vénérée encore par les hermétistes de la Renaissance, la lignée ininterrompue des bâtisseurs qui ont construit selon les principes de la géométrie sacrée, du mythe osirien au corpus hermeticum, issu de l'Hermès trismégiste, il y a eu un fil conducteur pour que l'union du ciel et de la terre puisse se réaliser. Il y a eu une transmission du savoir de constructeurs initiés, qui n'ont cessé, à travers des civilisations très éloignées, semble-t-il, les unes des autres, de rassembler ce qui était épars, qui nous vient encore de la nature et qui n'a pas été inventé par l'homme mais seulement réappris et réutilisé.
