The track is planted with trees, and a walkway lists each date of deportation, the number of Jews, and the chilling(...)

The track is planted with trees, and a walkway lists each date of deportation, the number of Jews, and the chilling destination. In this thought provoking book, a group of German artists and thinkers use the Gleis 17 memorial to consider whether it is possible to maintain memory in a monument, with some surprising conclusions. Contributors include NY Columbia University Professor Jorge Otero-Pailos, Diana Schulle, Andrea Wandel, Wolfgang Lorch, Harald Welzer and others.

Elles tentent d'éviter l'écueil consistant à présenter ce domaine aux yeux du grand public comme une valeur culturelle fondée soit sur la dimension patrimoniale, soit sur les prouesses techniques des grands ouvrages d'art, ou encore sur la dimension événementielle de certaines réalisations qui se prêtent aux jeux des caméras et deviennent de parfaits décors pour le fond d'écran des journaux télévisés. Ce texte est destiné à initier une démarche personnelle, à stimuler la curiosité du lecteur en introduisant l'architecture par son versant sensible et émotionnel. Il s'adresse aux curieux, amoureux des villes, des parcs et des jardins, à ceux qui aiment le paysage, ceux qui n'hésitent pas à quitter leur espace domestique pour se perdre dans l'espace urbain.

Résumé:
The story of midcentury architecture in America is dominated by outsized figures—Richard Neutra, George Nelson, Louis Kahn—who were universally acknowledged as creative geniuses. Yet virtually unheard of is the intensive 1958–59 study, conducted at the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research at the University of California, Berkeley, that scrutinized these and dozens of other famous architects in an effort to map their minds. Deploying an array of tests reflecting current psychological theories, the investigation sought to answer questions that still apply to creative practice today: What makes a person creative? What are the biographical conditions and personality traits necessary to actualize that potential? The study’s findings have been gathered through numerous original sources, including questionnaires, aptitude tests, and interview transcripts, revealing how these great architects evaluated their own creativity and that of their peers. In The Creative Architect, Pierluigi Serraino charts the development, implementation, and findings of this historic study, producing the first look at a fascinating and forgotten moment in architecture, psychology, and American history.
