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(...)

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.

Résumé:
Comment, au milieu du XIXe siècle, Paris a-t-elle pu devenir l’incarnation urbaine de la modernité ? Pour répondre à cette question, David Harvey a exploré les mutations connues par la ville à cette époque : transformation physique, avec les grands projets d’Haussmann, qui remplace le plan médiéval par les grands boulevards ; transformation économique, avec une nouvelle forme de capitalisme dominée par les puissances financières et industrielles ; transformation culturelle, avec l’irruption de ce qu’on appellera plus tard le modernisme ; transformation sociale, avec l’émergence de violents antagonismes de classes qui atteignent leur paroxysme dans les révolutions de 1848 et de 1871. En présentant la ville moderne comme le produit instable de forces hétérogènes et contradictoires, David Harvey nous offre une image vivante du fonctionnement de Paris ainsi qu’une vision panoramique de la période décisive que fut le Second Empire. Mais cette analyse de la ville moderne est aussi l’occasion d’une réflexion magistrale sur la ville contemporaine – sur la part de la population dans l’urbanisation, sur son accès aux ressources, en somme sur le «droit à la ville».

Invité à redéfinir simplement les zones d’accueil et d’accès de la salle de théâtre des Arbalestriers dans l’esprit des Maisons Folie qui venaient de voir le jour à Lille en 2004, Matador est parvenu à réaffecter l’ensemble du domaine exploitable. Si la salle de théâtre est restée dans son état initial, Matador, pratiquant une architecture de friche, revendique pleinement l’originalité des concepts d’Espace des possibles et de Margin’halle – ces deux lieux formant, avec la cour centrale, la Maison Folie de Mons
