Résumé:
There is no other period in the history of the Netherlands which excites such emotion, resistance or aversion as the period between 1970 and 1980. There are also varying opinions about architecture in the 1970s. Architecture at that time headed off in pursuit of new definitions and forms. Though a number of architectural movements were driven by a devoted social engagement and a profound belief in architecture as a means of moulding society, there was such a varied choice that it did not generate a single and unanimous alternative, resulting instead in polarization and pluriformity. This volume focuses on architecture, urban planning and spatial planning in the period 1968 - 1982. Remarkable and specific projects from this period are discussed and extensively documented on the basis of six themes. An introductory essay considers the context in which the architecture and urban planning changed so radically during this period. So far there has been little research into the architecture and planning of the 1970s in the Netherlands, even though it is a period when changes took on a definitive form. With the imminent demolition and renovation of much of the infrastructure and architecture of the 1970s, this book is a document that bears witness to the importance of this period for architecture in the Netherlands.

Résumé:
C'est un pays de guigois. Là-bas, l'air est pollué, l'ambiance chaotique mais les gens sont gais. Sortie KO des années communistes, Tirana, capitale du pays des Aigles, est grise, lépreuse. Architecte-urbaniste, Guillaume de Monfreid part restaurer des églises dans un petit coin d'Albanie. Il est saisi par ces couleurs, ce culot. Il tombe sur Anne-Laure Lafay, photographe. Et vient le désir de happer la ville, galerie grandeur nature, natures vivantes lancées par le maire de la ville, peintre de métier. Edi Rama, avant d'entamer les chantiers de fond, se met en quête de rhabiller la ville. Il a l'idée utopique et courageuse de balayer le passé d'un grand coup de peinture sur le décor. Une table rase esthétique pour sortir de la neurasthésie. C'est cette fresque que raconte le livre de Guillaume de Monfreid et Anne-Laure Lafay : celle d'une métropole émouvante en polychromie.

The Media House Project is the fruit of a strategic alliance between the Metapolis Group from Barcelona, the MIT Media Lab, and the Fundacio Politecnica de Catalunya, with the collaboration of the Consortium I2CAT and the Elisava Design School, in order to build a prototype of an informational house. This project enables the testing of the progression of information technologies beyond that of computers and integrates them into everyday life, literally looking to build computers from the components of buildings, in such a way that the logical intelligence of a structure can grow with its physical form.

Résumé:
More than four decades of Communism in Central and Eastern Europe has left deep scars in Europe. The post-1945 cultural fixation of countries in Central and Eastern Europe on the USSR stands in sharp contrast with Western Europes orientation towards the United States. The contradistinctions and similarities between East and West are subject to critical examination in a series of essays in text and image. Many of these subsidiary themes are associated with the city, since the impact of Communism is nowhere more evident than in this urban space. In the planning euphoria and the building of a completely new society on rational and scientific principles we can glimpse a mirroring of the ideas and views of Communist politicians, architects and urban planners. The contemporary phenomenon of the shrinking city calls for solutions which extend beyond restructuring, conservation or regeneration; it is sooner about constructing an identity that can rival Europe and the rest of the world.
