Résumé:
The Berlin Wall divided the city for almost three decades before it fell on 9 November 1989. But this symbol of the Cold War has been travelling longer than it stood still. An object that once seemed immovable now wanders around the world in every format from two-tonne slabs to pocket-sized souvenirs.

Résumé:
The Berlin Wall divided the city for almost three decades before it fell on 9 November 1989. But this symbol of the Cold War has been travelling longer than it stood still. An object that once seemed immovable now wanders around the world in every format from two-tonne slabs to pocket-sized souvenirs. This collection envisions the atomized and displaced remnants of the Berlin Wall as a mobile ruin with an evolving history. Blake Fitzpatrick and Vid Ingelevics’s photographic investigation of the geographical dispersement of its fragments is a form of witness to the history of the wall after it fell.

Résumé:
1966 est une année importante dans l’histoire des théories architecturales. L’émulation intellectuelle à Milan est alors à son comble : philosophes, écrivains, artistes et architectes croisent leurs savoirs et produisent une œuvre collective parmi les plus influentes de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. C’est au contact de cette génération talentueuse, dont il fait partie, que Vittorio Gregotti écrira son livre le plus connu : Le territoire de l’architecture. Un texte important, savant, mais aussi difficile, fragmenté, et rendu presque inaccessible au lecteur français par l’insuffisance de sa seule traduction. Jacques Boulet, transposant en architecture un statut du texte que l’historien de l’art Julius von Schlosser définissait par Kunstlitteratur, nous en livre ici, en hommage à Vittorio Gregotti, une lecture utile en “opera aperta”, écrite en 2000 et non publiée, qui pose l’hypothèse, chez l’architecte italien, d’une écriture analogue à la projetation.

Résumé:
"Translating: Architecture / Traduire : Architecture" explores the diversity of contemporary notions of architecture through the tool of translation. As a mediator between cultural differences and an instrument of resistance to dominant narratives, translation invites us to renew architectural discourse by opening up to multiple frames of reference. To this end, twenty-five architects from around the world were invited to write, in their own language, a short essay on their view of architecture. Translated into French and English, these contributions are accompanied by commentaries from the translators, together revealing frictions, gaps, and discoveries inherent to the act of translation.

The interest paid to this text today is retrospective. It is an opportunity to go back over the training and early working life of an important architect who is still little-known. What conception of architecture did the young Schindler stand up for in this his first text? Would the beginning of his career follow this doctrinal commitment? How did such Viennese convictions travel to the USA?

Résumé:
With 117.3 million people displaced worldwide by mid-2025 – double the number a decade ago – this book investigates how contemporary spatial and environmental practice is entangled with illegalised migration. It examines the material regimes that keep displaced populations at bay through case studies from global migration “hotspots”, tracing how movement and resettlement are denied through border walls, militarised zones, detention systems, restrictive laws, digital tools, and forced relocation. Exposing architecture’s complicity with power, the book identifies sites of resistance and argues for architecture as a force opposing division while protecting the right to live in dignity.

Résumé:
This volume gathers 12 conversations between the architect Zaha Hadid (1950–2016) and Hans Ulrich Obrist, conducted between 2001 and 2013. Across these exchanges, Hadid reflects on architecture as a field of experimentation shaped by drawing, exhibition-making, urbanism and new technologies. The interviews trace the evolution of her thinking from early speculative projects to the realization of major cultural buildings, including museums and civic spaces across Europe, Asia and the United States. Hadid discusses interior complexity, movement and perception, the testing of ideas through exhibitions and installations and the relationship between architecture, art and performance. She also addresses collaboration, authorship and the challenges of translating radical ideas into built form.
