Résumé:
This incisive look at the historical, social, and economic forces that have shaped China's modern architecture analyzes the country's struggle to define its own architectural aesthetics. Since the early 1980s, when China opened its doors to international trade and tourism, the country's economy has expanded at an incredible rate. Today, China is poised to be a testing ground for the world's most innovative designers and engineers. Layla Dawson's groundbreaking survey of architectural currents in China lays out not only the historical events that have brought the country to this unique position, but explores the challenges inherent in opening up the country to outside forces and ideas. She examines projects by Chinese and non-Chinese architects, including Zaha Hadid's Soho City masterplan, Rem Koolhaas's CCTV Headquarters, Norman Foster's Shanghai Tower and plans for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. As Dawson demonstrates how conflicting architectural philosophies are visible in China's newly rising skyline, she takes an unblinking look at the liabilities China faces by opening itself up to foreign influence.

Résumé:
An investigation into Shanghai’s rise from peripheral port to urban center. Even before the romanticized golden era of Shanghai in the 1930s, the famed Asian city was remarkable for its uniqueness and East-meets-West cosmopolitanism. Meng Yue analyzes a century-long shift of urbanity from China’s heartland to its shore. During the period between the decline of Jiangnan cities such as Suzhou and Yangzhou and Shanghai’s early twentieth-century rise, the overlapping cultural edges of a failing Chinese royal order and the encroachment of Western imperialists converged. Simultaneously appropriating and resisting imposing forces, Shanghai opened itself to unruly, subversive practices, becoming a crucible of creativity and modernism. Calling into question conventional ways of conceptualizing modernity, colonialism, and intercultural relations, Meng Yue examines such cultural practices as the work of the commercial press, street theater, and literary arts, and shows that what appear to be minor cultural changes often signal the presence of larger political and economic developments. Engaging theories of modernity and postcolonial and global cultural studies, Meng Yue reveals the paradoxical interdependence between imperial and imperialist histories and the retranslation of culture that characterized the most notable result of China’s urban relocation—the emergence of the international city of Shanghai.

Résumé:
Un panorama d'une centaine de maisons illustrant huit décennies de création architecturale au Japon, conçues par 75 architectes ou agences. La sélection permet de découvrir l'évolution des styles, associant originalité et tradition, et des matériaux. Associant créativité et tradition, les maisons d’architecte construites au Japon depuis 1945 sont parmi les plus insolites et les plus fascinantes au monde. Soumis après-guerre à de strictes contraintes légales et spatiales, les architectes nippons n’ont en effet pas eu d’autre choix, pour répondre aux exigences du mode d’habiter japonais, que d’explorer et d’expérimenter des solutions extrêmes. Le résultat est cette architecture unique, déroutante et inspirante signée de nombreux architectes comme Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, Shigeru Ban ou Kengo Kuma, dont l’audace moderne, si ce n’est futuriste, est portée par une culture millénaire.

Résumé:
This book features innovative and productive responses, in the form of architectural design and thinking, to the shift in Japan’s social condition under demographic changes that are evident in regional cities. These responses also demonstrate the new wave of architectural practice in Japan, focused on the challenges of degrowth. The shrinking and aging of the population is exacerbating the social decline in the regional cities of Japan. While excluded from the market-driven metropolitan areas, architects of the young generation are beginning to build ways of revitalizing regional cities through innovative design or new ways of practicing. This book features works by seven named or unnamed younger architects in Japan that preempt architectural responses to the post-growth condition, a gripping essay by community designer Ryo Yamazaki, and a captivating photo documentation by Kenta Hasegawa. Keynote essay by Toyo Ito.

Résumé:
"The Hypospace of Japanese architecture" pushes past clichés of an exotic Japan to confront the modernity of an island nation whose habit of importing foreign ideas is less about assimilation than transformation, less a process of indigenization than one of cultural invention. The realization that buildings are dynamic events—phenomena of space-in-time, not inert objects outside time—continues to inform Japanese architecture and suggests how we can rethink the history, theory, and practice of architecture more generally.
