Résumé:
La Maison Folie de Mons, à l’instar du Palais de Tokyo, de l’Espace Lu à Nantes ou encore de la Condition publique à Roubaix, n’a pas le souci de paraître, mais seulement celui d’être au plus près de ceux qui l’habitent, comme le dit Yves Vasseur, le directeur du Théâtre du Manège. 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

Résumé:
"Typology", volume 2 of the new series Christ & Gantenbein Review, presents more than 150 buildings located in Rome, New York, Hong Kong and Buenos Aires that have been analysed by the chair of Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. This selective and subjective inventory of metropolitan and essentially anonymous 20th-century building production provides a basis for urban project creation. In this new book, the buildings are documented with floor plans, axonometric projections, recent photographs and key information. The theoretical essay by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein and four texts by other authors explain the interactions between the contexts, especially the governing urban rule sets and the buildings, and show the potential for the design of a contemporary urban architecture.

Résumé:
In 1952 the New Yorker published a three-part essay by A. J. Liebling in which he dubbed Chicago the “Second City.” From garbage collection to the skyline, nothing escaped Liebling’s withering gaze.

Résumé:
In 1952 the New Yorker published a three-part essay by A. J. Liebling in which he dubbed Chicago the “Second City.” From garbage collection to the skyline, nothing escaped Liebling’s withering gaze. Among the outraged responses from Chicago residents was one that Liebling described as the apotheosis of such criticism: a postcard that read, simply, “You were never in Chicago.” Neil Steinberg has lived in and around Chicago for more than three decades — ever since he left his hometown of Berea, Ohio, to attend Northwestern — yet he remains fascinated by the dynamics captured in Liebling’s anecdote. In You Were Never in Chicago Steinberg weaves the story of his own coming-of-age as a young outsider who made his way into the inner circles and upper levels of Chicago journalism with a nuanced portrait of the city that would surprise even lifelong residents. Steinberg takes readers through Chicago’s vanishing industrial past and explores the city from the quaint skybridge between the towers of the Wrigley Building, to the depths of the vast Deep Tunnel system below the streets. He deftly explains the city’s complex web of political favoritism and carefully profiles the characters he meets along the way, from greats of jazz and journalism to small-business owners just getting by. Throughout, Steinberg never loses the curiosity and close observation of an outsider, while thoughtfully considering how this perspective has shaped the city, and what it really means to belong.

L’architecture, c’est notre cadre de vie quotidien et bien souvent, nous oublions de la regarder. Pourtant, les architectes rivalisent d’audace et de prouesses pour proposer de nouveaux lieux aussi beaux qu’utiles. L’architecte manie des données sociologiques et économiques, utilise la pointe de la technologie, pense en terme de durable et d’écologique. Un art d’imaginer et de bâtir qui pousse toujours plus loin les limites de l’espace. Architecture est un panorama des réalisations contemporaines, toujours impressionnantes, des plus rationnelles aux plus extravagantes !

Résumé:
In Modern North, author Julie Decker presents thirty-four of the most compelling and far-ranging possibilities of contemporary architecture in the North. These buildings—located in northern Canada, Scandinavia, and Alaska—are united in the way they embrace extreme conditions. Rather than shut them out, these conditions are welcomed and often formed into the buildings' structures and materials, as in the way architecture is employed to mediate the harshness of the low-lying sun without replacing it with the harshness of artificial lights.
