Résumé:
Shenzhen is ground zero for the economic transformation China has seen in recent decades. In 1979, driven by China’s widespread poverty, Deng Xiaoping supported a bold proposal to experiment with economic policies in a rural borderland next to Hong Kong. The site was designated as the City of Shenzhen and soon after became China’s first Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Four decades later, Shenzhen is a megacity of twenty million, an internationally recognized digital technology hub, and the world’s most successful economic zone. Some see it as a modern miracle city that seemingly came from nowhere, attributing its success solely to centralized planning and Shenzhen’s proximity to Hong Kong. The Chinese government has built hundreds of new towns using the Shenzhen model, yet none has come close to replicating the city’s level of economic success. But is it true that Shenzhen has no meaningful history? That the city was planned on a tabula rasa? That the region’s rural past has had no significant impact on the urban present? Juan Du unravels the myth of Shenzhen and shows us how this world-famous “instant city” has a surprising history—filled with oyster fishermen, villages that remain encased within city blocks, a secret informal housing system—and how it has been catapulted to success as much by the ingenuity of its original farmers as by Beijing’s policy makers. “The Shenzhen Experiment” is an important story for all rapidly urbanizing and industrializing nations around the world seeking to replicate China’s economic success in the twenty-first century.

Résumé:
Les études réunies ici témoignent d'une commune passion pour la maison – traditionnelle ou très contemporaine –, la ville et l'espace japonais, visités par la plume des deux auteurs. Ils sont pour l'un géographe – Jacques Pezeu-Massabuau –, pour l'autre architecte et anthropologue – Philippe Bonnin. Chacun, de son côté, a poursuivi un travail obstiné d'observation, de description, de dévoilement, d'analyse approfondie de la réalité de cette habitation japonaise, de son esthétique, des gestes, des paroles qui l'entourent. Réunir ces textes devenait un impératif pour confronter leurs approches complémentaires et décoder cette culture japonaise si passionnante.

The success of any architectural project depends on the architect’s ability to depict it. Conveying architectural ideas as drawings, pictures, or models is both a critical part of the process and one that can tell us much about the design itself in a particular time or place.

Résumé:
The success of any architectural project depends on the architect’s ability to depict it. Conveying architectural ideas as drawings, pictures, or models is both a critical part of the process and one that can tell us much about the design itself in a particular time or place. Over the past two decades, major new trends in architectural representation have emerged in Japan, which have gained widespread attention in the western world. "Pictures of the floating microcosm" considers these trends and takes readers through their development to the present day. Olivier Meystre undertakes a critique of the design tools and mediation techniques that have been employed and reveals the very special ways of conceiving an architectural project, drawing on a wealth of new research and interviews with contemporary Japanese architects.

Résumé:
Where have all the fishballs gone? From a journalist deeply attuned to the subtleties of Hong Kong life comes "Borrowed Spaces", a chronicle of the ways in which the grassroots citizens of Hong Kong reshape their city to make up for the shortcomings of their bureaucratic government. Mango trees sprouting on roundabouts, fishball stalls and neon signs: these are just some of the Hong Kong icons that are casualties in the struggle to reclaim public spaces. Christopher DeWolf explores the history of Hong Kong’s urban growth through the daily tug of war between the people’s needs to express themselves and government regulations.

Résumé:
Professor Zhao Xiang, from Fukuoka University, provides indepth analyses of the historical influences of a dozen different design themes that have played a vital role in Japanese professional practice across the last six decades, such as the stereoscopic detached living mode; the new parameters for personal and traditional 'space'; the spatial responses to a modern family concept; the use of 'abstract space'; and even urban guerilla housing. There are also more than 40 case studies, illustrated throughout, that serve as the strongest reflection of the rich diversity of modern houses currently trending across Japan today.

Résumé:
Au Japon, la grande gare ferroviaire cristallise de multiples enjeux de la fabrique et du renouvellement des métropoles. Cet ouvrage se concentre sur la généalogie de cet équipement, du point de vue de ses mutations architecturales et urbaines dans le contexte d’une modernité désirée ou éprouvée. À l’appui de nombreux exemples illustrés, il vise à donner des clés de compréhension d’une forme de centralité singulière, qui allie activité et mouvement et constitue un repère structurant du paysage urbain nippon. L’originalité de ce modèle provient de la persistance, réelle ou mentale, de schémas traditionnels de pensée et pratique de la ville, au sein d’un processus de réinvention et de reconstruction permanent. Matérialisation spatiale du thème de la connexion, la grande gare japonaise marque aussi réflexions et opérations à grande échelle. La relecture d’un ensemble de projets d’architectes japonais pour Tokyo, laboratoire des années de forte croissance, décrypte cette même approche conjuguée de l’architecture des déplacements.

Résumé:
Thirty years after the original Japanese edition by Fumihiko Maki and a team from Maki and Associates, an English-language version of this book is finally available. The original was based on a commissioned study on “The Desirable Living Environment” and examined Japanese urban spaces in the context of Tokyo’s rapid change and the city’s distinctive aesthetic consciousness. In particular, the concern for surface layers, micro-topographies, and small spaces in the metropolis received special focus. With the ever-growing and new global metropolises emerging today, fundamentally different attitudes toward public domains are revealed. It is clear that old ideas no longer apply.
