Résumé:
Roger Anger (1923–2008) fut l’un des architectes français les plus prolifiques au cours des années 1950 et 1960, il produisit une profusion de projets passionnants. Son langage architectural se caractérise par sa plasticité et son individualité sculpturale – et par une éternelle modernité. Ceci est amplement démontré par plus de cent bâtiments conçus par son agence à Paris. Le projet des trois tours de logements de vingt-huit étages à Grenoble, inaugurant le plus haut immeuble résidentiel d’Europe à cette époque, qui remporta le premier Prix international d’architecture de Belgique en 1967, incarne le point culminant de la recherche entreprise par le bureau de Roger Anger. Aujourd’hui encore, ces créations architecturales restent des icônes de la ville et des exemples du travail de l’architecte. En 1965, Roger Anger fut nommé architecte en chef d’Auroville, une cité idéale conçue en Inde du Sud; ce fut l’endroit où l’essence de son travail en tant qu’architecte, peintre et sculpteur s’exprima jusque dans les dernières décennies de sa vie.

Buckminster Fuller’s prophetic 1962 book “Education Automation” brilliantly anticipated the need to rethink learning in light of a dawning revolution in informational technology – “upcoming major world industry.” Along with other essays on education, including “Breaking the Shell of Permitted Ignorance,” “Children: the True Scientists” and “Mistake Mystique” this volume presents a powerful approach for preparing ourselves to face epochal changes on spaceship earth: “whether we are going to make it or not... is really up to each one of us; it is not something we can delegate to the politicians – what kind of world are you really going to have?”
