Résumé:
Exploring the infinite ways in which plastics permeate our bodies and our world, ''Everlasting Plastics'' offers intimate and political accounts of our fraught yet enmeshed kinship with these materials. Rather than making a case for or against the material, the writings and artworks collected in this volume attempt to register our ongoing toxic dependencies on plastic, its impact on other material cultures and behaviors, and the harm and possibilities it entangles for our collective futures. ''Everlasting Plastics'' records and expands upon the exhibition of the US Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale, which excavated the ways synthetics both shape and erode contemporary ecologies, economies, and the built environment.

Résumé:
Le catalogue prospectif Carbone 20 met en exergue des pratiques artistiques qui font appel au collectif et font naître d’autres manières de faire. Il explore les réseaux visibles et invisibles, s’arrêtant sur des initiatives multiples et situées, de Saint-Étienne à sa région et jusqu’à l’international. Cet ouvrage rassemble des entretiens, des témoignages, des mises en perspectives historiques, des analyses d'expériences. Il est parsemé d'images liées à ces propositions et de scans de projets éditoriaux, comme autant d'entrées dans les pratiques auto-organisées. C’est une célébration de tentatives et de stratégies aux formes et aux engagements différents, dans ce présent où il n’y aurait pas d’alternatives, qui nous amène sans cesse à interroger positionnements, manières de circuler, de faire, d’agir et d’être ensemble notamment par le champ de l’art contemporain.

Résumé:
The official catalog of the 15th Venice Biennale Architecture Exhibition. More and more people on the planet are looking for a decent place to live, even though the chances to find one are becoming tougher and tougher by the hour. Nevertheless, on the frontlines of the built environment there lingers a sense of vitality that brings architecture to look at reality in a positive way. This is what people will see at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition: success stories and exemplary cases where architecture has made, is making, and will make a difference. Reporting from the Front aims at explaining to a broader audience what it means to improve the quality of life while working on the margins, under heavy circumstances, and facing pressing challenges. And what it is like to be on the cutting edge trying to conquer new fields.

Résumé:
A wooden Japanese house slated for demolition will instead be moved to Venice for exhibition. Yet the house put on display will not appear in its original form. Dismantled for shipping, it will be reassembled on-site in new configurations created by architects and artisans from Japan, who will add new or local materials and other elements in the process. In other words, the exhibition of the house will be a fantastical installation that combines old and new in a composite of creative efforts by multiple designers and craftsmen. This book, edited by architect Kozo Kadowaki, explores the project in detail.

Qu'il s'agisse, entre autres exemples, du Pavillon France réalisé par l'architecte Jean-Paul Viguier à l'occasion de l'Exposition Universelle de Séville (1992), de celui des Pays-Bas signé de l'agence MVRDV dans le cadre l'Exposition Universelle d'Hanovre (2000) ou encore, avant eux, des pavillons présentés comme « manifestes de la modernité », tels que ceux de Richard Buckminster Fuller (Pavillon États-Unis, île Sainte-Hélène, Montréal, 1967), de Le Corbusier (Pavillon Philips, Bruxelles, 1958) de Robert Mallet-Stevens et des frères Martel (Pavillon du tourisme, Paris, 1925), tous sembleraient procéder d'une même intention (ou prétention)?: celle de définir les voies et préceptes d'une architecture résolument nouvelle laquelle, contestant ou refusant parfois ce qui a cours, préfigure et marque de quoi serait faite l'époque à-venir.

Résumé:
How do city and architecture flourish together ? This question is central to the three-dimensional capriccio that displays a fictional Flemish urban environment. Over time, the informal city in Flanders and Brussels has developed a unique relationship with its architecture. This staged urban landscape reveals how historical layers, morphological peculiarities and unforeseen collisions are an endless source of energy for contemporary architectural production. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Composite Presence" curated by Bovenbouw Architectuur in the Belgian Pavilion at the Biennale di Architettura 2021 in Venice, Italy.

Résumé:
This publication examines the various figures and interests involved in the design and construction of the Canada Pavilion and explores how it was used over the past sixty years to exhibit the work of Canadian artists and architects. This publication intends not only to underline the pavilion's importance in the broader context of modern architecture, but also to highlight its role as an early example of cultural diplomacy. The book is fully endowed with archive material, such as photographs, drawings, and maps, along with a portfolio created by contemporary photographers (Francesco Barasciutti and Andrea Pertoldeo), showing the building before, during, and after the restoration. The essays of the various contributors to the book analyze the cultural and political context in which the Canada Pavilion committee worked (Cammie McAtee); the concept and construction of the building and the links with the architect Enrico Peressutti and the BBPR partnership (Réjean Legault); the pavilion's role in the postwar Italian cultural context (Serena Maffioletti) and its fortunes from its inauguration in 1958 to the restoration in 2018 (Josée Drouin-Brisebois); the restoration project itself (Susanna Caccia Gherardine), and, lastly, the relationship between the Canada Pavilion and the Biennale Gardens (Franco Panzini).

Résumé:
The relationship between real and fictional cities is blurry. Ideas which begin as literary speculations can shape the physical world. Both architects and novelists tell stories about place; real and imagined. They are in this sense both urban practitioners, creating neighbourhoods to serve communities and articulating the values of societies through the design of their streets.This book of original short stories, written by architects, engineers, and novelists, explores the architecture of the near future glimpsed through the lens of fictional characters, places and buildings. What will the architecture of the future be like? How will cities change with environmental breakdown? How will people travel once cars are ancient history? What will buildings look like when bricks and mortar are no longer instruments of financial accumulation?
