Résumé:
Forced to find beauty in mediocrity, poetry in pragmatism, history in the absence of monuments and the future in the past, Crimson has been shaped by the experience of living and working in Rotterdam, the city that never thinks. Over the past seven years they have produced research projects, plans and initiatives that range from purely historical studies, book reviews and critiques of contemporary architecture to exhibitions, panoramas and urban planning schemes. For them, history is not a clear-cut period in the past but a total panoramic experience in which mythology, truth, writing, building and demolition intermingle. The Crimson historians don’t keep their distance, they dive right in. Too Blessed To Be Depressed is a coming-of-age book, one that shows the development of a practice and an attitude towards the outside world based not on analysis and simplification but on an endless quest for all the narratives, contradi ctions, and obsessions that make the city what it is. It presents an initial selection of work by Crimson divided among three themes: History (what to make of it, how to deal with it), Obsession (theirs along with those of others) and Top Down (the impact of large-scale infrastructural and other interventions on the city).

Résumé:
La médiocrité esthétique et le fonctionnalisme primaire de la reconstruction post 1945 sécrète une crise durable qui affecte l’architecture et l’urbanisme dans l’ensemble du monde occidental. A la "Cité radieuse" des années 1930 succède, au milieu du siècle, une nouvelle utopie la "Mégastructure". Hybride colossal traversant des territoires sans frontières, elle règle du même élan, et l’architecture, et l’urbanisme, et les infrastructures. Mais l’engouement pour ces grandes machines sensées résoudre les problèmes à l’échelle planétaire s’émousse durant les sixties. La "Mégastructure" cède le pas à l’"Architecture radicale", ce faisant on assiste au basculement d’une approche de l’architecture dont les références sont le besoin et la construction à une autre dont les références sont l’immédiateté et la consommation, les objets mobiles et le plaisir du corps. Cette transformation correspond au passage d’une architecture conçue en terme de progrès social et de bonheur humain, à une architecture de la révélation du monde existant. Première monographie exhaustive sur la période, Superarchitecture est abondamment illustrée à l’aide d’une iconographie originale issue des archives des Smithson, d’Hollein, de Fuller, Friedman, Archigram, Price, Archizoom, Superstudio, etc. De l’utopie critique qui se dégage des projets de ces acteurs et de la puissance évocatrice de leurs dessins, les architectes contemporains comme Koolhaas, Tschumi ou MRDV se sont fortement inspirés pour construire leur univers conceptuel.

Résumé:
Wherever and whenever state and church, state and autocracy, political and architectural ambition have met and loved one another hungrily, domes have raised their imperious, lofty heads. At once magnificent and messy, old-fashioned and ultra-modern, opulent and squalid, London is something of a mongrel city, cross-bred over the centuries from cut-throat commerce, high finance and unrestrained creativity. For all its inventiveness, however, it is now also a city unable to provide its citizens with decent public transport, housing or services, beset and betrayed by governments who take from it but refuse to give back. In the lead-up to the much-hyped Millennium, a fortune was spent on lavish building projects—giant wheels, great courts, titanic art galleries, ambitious museums, a Brobdingnagian dome—but little in the way of public services, intelligent urban planning and infrastructure except by default. Has the right kind of money been spent on the wrong sort of projects? Who, in this pluralistic age, will cut through the layers of bureaucracy to restore some of the city’s unruly splendour? In this elegant and polemical book, the architecture critic Jonathan Glancey explores London’s Millennial follies and asks how and where London might now channel its energies. Combining anecdote and analysis with a sustained critique of the way the city is governed and financed, he draws a detailed picture of the state London’s in and speculates on how it might be transformed.

In the academic environment, graphic experimentation proliferated and architects encountered an intellectual scene filled with passionate debates about philosophy, criticism, and social thought. This set the stage for an eruption of "paper architecture" of incomparable beauty and depth. Perfect Acts of Architecture identifies the preeminent achievements of five architects working during that turbulent period: Peter Eisenman, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne, and Bernard Tschumi. Catalogue of the exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

He analyses the works of leading figures such as Peter Behrens and Hannes Meyer, through to Ingo Maurer and Jil Sander, and many others in design specialties, including graphics, industrial products and furniture, fashion and architecture. He also offers the first consideration of the contrasting traditions of East and West Germany between 1945 and 1989. Whether examining the pre-First World War department store, the National Socialist fashion system or East Germany’s official design culture, German design significantly affected citizens’ daily lives.

Williams investigates issues such as the use of historic architecture, the importance of leisure and luxury, the role of the favela as a backdrop and inspiration for development, and the rapid growth of cities. From the designated world heritage site of Brasilia—a capital city that was planned from the ground up—to the installation work of artists such as Hélio Oiticica, Brazil delves into the origins and far-reaching influence of Brazil’s architectural modernism. Richard J. Williams teaches in the School of Arts, Culture and Environment at the University of Edinburgh.
