Résumé:
In "Enduring innocence", Keller Easterling tells the stories of outlaw "spatial products"- resorts, information technology campuses, retail chains, golf courses, ports, and other hybrid spaces that exist outside normal constituencies and jurisdictions-in difficult political situations around the world. These spaces-familiar commercial formulas of retail, business, and trade-aspire to be worlds unto themselves, self-reflexive and innocent of politics. But as Easterling shows, in reality these enclaves can become political pawns and objects of contention. Jurisdictionally ambiguous, they are imbued with myths, desires, and symbolic capital. Their hilarious and dangerous masquerades often mix quite easily with the cunning of political platforms. Easterling argues that the study of such "real estate cocktails" provides vivid evidence of the market's weakness, resilience, or violence. "Enduring innocence" collects six stories of spatial products and their political predicaments: cruise ship tourism in North Korea; high-tech agricultural formations in Spain (which have reignited labor wars and piracy in the Mediterranean); hyperbolic forms of sovereignty in commercial and spiritual organizations shared by gurus and golf celebrities; automated global ports; microwave urbanism in South Asian IT enclaves; and a global industry of building demolition that suggests urban warfare. These regimes of nonnational sovereignty, writes Easterling, "move around the world like weather fronts"; she focuses not on their blending- their global connectivity-but on their segregation and the cultural collisions that ensue. "Enduring innocence" resists the dream of one globally legible world found in many architectural discourses on globalization. Instead, Easterling's consideration of these segregated worlds provides new tools for practitioners sensitive to the political composition of urban landscapes.

Résumé:
In today's society architects are subject to the dictates of the free market, the global trend towards privatization and the gradual dismantlement of state institutions and authorities. The pressure to alter their projects to conform to market and popular taste is increasing. Does successful design in today’s world have to correspond to the wishes of the masses? What exactly are trends and the expectations of the general public based on? Is design always a response contra popular trends, or can adapting to popular tendencies also generate the potential to create a better living environment? This book, which arose from the last DOM conference in Linz, examines the concept of populism in some 30 expert contributions, gathered into 5 chapters, each beginning with an introductory essay.

"The Eyes of the Skin" has become a classic of architectural theory and consists of two extended essays. The first surveys the historical development of the ocular-centric paradigm in western culture since the Greeks and its impact on the experience of the world and the nature of architecture. The second examines the role of the other senses in authentic architectural experiences, and points the way towards a multi-sensory architecture which facilitates a sense of belonging and integration. Since the book's first publication, interest in the role of the body and the senses has been emerging in both architectural philosophy and teaching. This new, revised and extended edition of this seminal work will not only inspire architects and students to design more holistic architecture, but will enrich the general reader's perception of the world around them. Preface by Steven Holl.

Résumé:
In the late nineteenth century the conventions of Victorian domesticity came under scrutiny by British writers, designers, artists, and architects intent on bringing a modern spirit into the home. Seeking to redefine the spaces of middle-class private life, figures such as E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, Oscar Wilde, James McNeill Whistler, and Virginia Woolf attempted to rethink Victorian design and reconstruct the form, function, and meaning of the home to meet the demands of modernity. In this study, Rosner draws on a host of previously unexamined archival sources and reveals the many personal and aesthetic connections among modern British writers, interior designers, and architects, elegantly synthesizing modernist literature with architectural plans, room designs, and decorative art.

Résumé:
Since Greek antiquity, the human body has been regarded as a microcosm of universal harmony. In this book, an international group of architects, architectural historians, and theorists examines the relation of the human body and architecture. The essays view well-known buildings, texts, paintings, ornaments, and landscapes from the perspective of the body's physical, psychological, and spiritual needs and pleasures. Topics include Greek temples; the churches of Tadao Ando in Japan; Renaissance fortresses and paintings; the body, space, and dwelling in Wright's and Schindler's houses in North America; the corporeal dimension of Carlo Scarpa's landscapes and gardens; theory from Vitruvius to the Renaissance and Enlightenment; and Freudian psychoanalysis. The essays are framed by an appreciation of architectural historian and theorist Joseph Rykwert's influential work on the subject.

Résumé:
L'hypothèse de la " Fonction oblique " préconisant la fixation de la vie des hommes sur les plans inclinés, fut énoncée en 1964 par Claude Parent et Paul Virilio. Les textes qui vont suivre en présentent l'explication, tendent à parvenir à une globalisation des solutions de concentration urbaine et illustrent par certains exemples concrets les possibilités illimitées de cette nouvelle prise de possession de l'espace. Encore faut-il se prémunir contre une tendance naturelle à la nouveauté, car lorsque l'on connaît les principes essentiels de la fonction oblique, on s'aperçoit que cette proposition a préexisté dans le passé à des époques très éloignées dans le temps, très différentes dans l'option morale ou économique, et qu'elle a donné naissance à des formulations concrètes dont l'archéologie nous porte témoignage irrécusable. Depuis la Turquie du septième millénaire avant Jésus-Christ jusqu'aux villages actuels du Sud Algérien, un passé de la fonction oblique existe. Ce passé a eu ou conserve sa vérité, sa réalité sociologique. C'est à ce titre qu'il est permis de " découvrir " d'imaginer dans le passé, cette " archéologie du futur ", aussi bien qu'il est possible dans le présent de détecter les " germes " en pensée ou en acte d'une futurologie, c'est-à-dire d'une science de la découverte de l'avenir de l'humanité, dans la mesure où cet avenir n'est ni imposé, ni subi par les deux parties contractantes : la population, les créateurs-inventeurs mais intégré de par l'imagination des uns à l'usage de l'autre. On doit lire le passé comme un futur à découvrir.
