Résumé:
As the number and distinctiveness of design directions in contemporary architecture expands, an outcome has emerged of a contradictory nature. While many of these directions hold great intrigue, a troubling aspect arises in that in their realization an 'incompleteness' is often exhibited, one expressing a less developed architectural richness often expressed in an under-utilized nature of the architectural language itself. Internal addresses this issue with a focus on topics that underly the creation of architectural languages. Concentrating on strategies and concepts that inform the creation of cohering architectural languages versus 'external' factors affecting design, such as those necessary to accommodate site or program, ''Internal'' focuses on design considerations incorporating the authority grounded in 'internal' language-based architectural issues. Identifying underlying themes and strategies necessary to create coherent and informed architectural languages constitutes the effort underlying this book.

Il identifie dans son ouvrage trois Moncton interdépendants : le territoire physique, la ville telle qu’imaginée par les artistes et celle vécue par l’auteur au quotidien. « Moncton mentor : géocritique d’une ville » s’intéresse ainsi, selon une triple perspective, à la place des francophones dans cette ville bilingue devenue capitale culturelle de l’Acadie. Grâce à la géocritique, une théorie de la spatialité, Doyon-Gosselin étudie l’interaction entre les espaces et la communauté francophone et se penche sur l’impact des artistes sur le quotidien des Monctoniens. Cet essai constitue en quelque sorte le prolongement de la promenade littéraire organisée au cours des dernières années par l’auteur dans les rues de Moncton. Y sont convoquées les œuvres de maints auteurs acadiens (Gérald Leblanc, Serge Patrice Thibodeau, France Daigle, notamment), mais également celles d’auteurs ayant porté un regard sur cette ville, comme Jean-Paul Daoust.

Résumé:
In the late 2000s human society entered a new urban epoch in which the majority of human beings live in cities. Whilst the city has historically been viewed as the foundation of democracy and citizenship, the geo-political spaces of modern cities are widely misunderstood despite their key role in shaping contemporary global society. How and why have cities become the command centres of the world economy? Does globalization menace cities as we know them? Are cities able to exercise democratic control and strategic choice when multinational corporate competition increasingly limits the importance of place? The Rise of Cities offers intriguing responses to these questions by analyzing how cities coalesce, develop and thrive, and how they can remake themselves for better for worse. Examining key issues such as the parasitic relationships cities have with Nature, the webs of trade and immigration they rely on to survive, and the spatial structure of the contemporary metropolis, the contributors develop a startling outline of cities in crisis and demonstrate why the State has failed, and must fail, to end the urban crisis. These themes are explored through a variety of concrete, real-world examples of the challenges of urban politics: metropolitan governance, urban redevelopment policy, housing problems, grass roots activism and urban planning. In the background looms the spectre of neo-liberal globalization, with the development of influential world cities related to the emergence of modern telecommunications, the growth of multinational corporations and the generation of a world economy with an increased movement of cultural symbols and artifacts across national borders.
