Résumé:
Médecins et chercheurs en psychopathologie, les auteurs entendent déconstruire l'idéologie médicale qui prescrit des conduites rationelles et standardisées au nom d'une description scientifique. Ils montrent comment ces processus de normalisation opèrent. A partir de leurs expériences cliniques, ils plaident pour le retour du "souci de soi" dans la médecine moderne

Résumé:
Rooted in the British apprenticeship system, the French Beaux-Arts, and the German polytechnical schools, architecture education in North America has had a unique history spanning almost three hundred years. Although architects in the United States and Canada began to identify themselves as professionals by the late eighteenth century, it was not until nearly a century later that North American universities began to offer formal architectural training; the first program was established at MIT in 1865. Today most architects receive their training within an academic setting that draws on the humanities, fine arts, applied science, and public service for its philosophy and methodology. This book, published in conjunction with the centennial of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), provides the first comprehensive history of North American architecture education. Architecture School opens with six chronological essays, each devoted to a major period of development: before 1860; 1860--1920; 1920--1940; 1940--1968; 1968--1990; and 1990 to the present. This overview is followed by a "lexicon" containing shorter articles on more than two dozen topics that have figured centrally in archictecture education's history, from competitions and design pedagogy to research, structures, studio culture, and travel.

This edited collection offers a unique perspective on twentieth-century architectural history, disputing the primacy placed on individuals in the design and planning process and instead looking to the larger influences of politics, culture, economics, and globalization to uncover the roots of how our built environment evolves.

The only Austrian winner of the Pritzker Prize (1985) and president of the architecture biennale in Venice, the Viennese architect Hans Hollein (born 1934) has been a leading exponent of postmodernism in architecture. Yet his global stature as an architect has overshadowed his design work of the 1970s and 1980s and his artistic work of the 1960s and 1970s, despite past(...)

Résumé:
The only Austrian winner of the Pritzker Prize (1985) and president of the architecture biennale in Venice, the Viennese architect Hans Hollein (born 1934) has been a leading exponent of postmodernism in architecture. Yet his global stature as an architect has overshadowed his design work of the 1970s and 1980s and his artistic work of the 1960s and 1970s, despite past exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. This richly illustrated, comprehensive catalogue, and the exhibition it accompanies at the Neue Galerie in Graz, is the first retrospective of Hollein as a truly universal artist and a renaissance man for the digital age. It is also the first to present Hollein's oeuvre as a whole: his work as artist, designer and architect, but also as theoretician, curator, teacher and collaborator with such artists as Christo and Claes Oldenburg.

Résumé:
Picking up on architecture’s tradition of teaching professional experience to students through conversation, this book provides insight into the ideas, methods, and memories of Günther Vogt, and questions the attitude that this innovative landscape architect adopts towards his profession. With reference to five different locations, Günther Vogt speaks about current themes of landscape architecture and its relationship to architecture and the city, about his teaching at the ETH Zürich, and about the work of Vogt Landscape Architects; he describes his perception of the landscape as a cabinet of curiosities, tells how he collects various phenomena and individual elements, relates them to each other and rearranges them. And in the reader’s mind’s eye unfolds a cosmos, in which the lack of wholeness of nature seems to be a gain rather than a loss.

Résumé:
Par centaines de milliers, obéissant au mot d’ordre « Sortez ! » de Hu Jintao, les Chinois se ruent vers l’Afrique. Pour le pire parfois, pour le meilleur aussi. En échange de matières premières dont le continent noir regorge (pétrole, gaz, métaux, uranium, bois, poissons), l’Empire du Milieu développe l’Afrique et l’intègre dans la mondialisation. Pékin séduit de nombreux dictateurs – en ne posant aucune condition – avec des produits bon marché, drogue à forte accoutumance dans les pays pauvres jusque-là dépendants des produits occidentaux. Grâce à Pékin, l’Afrique, jadis victime de l’afro-pessimisme, vit un boum économique sans précédent. Pour la première fois, l’Afrique a le choix. Les Occidentaux, qui l’avaient laissé tomber, veulent y revenir. Seulement voilà, la place est souvent prise et des conflits se préparent… Qui sont ces aventuriers Chinois ? Dans quels pays vont-ils ? Pour y faire quoi ? Quel est le secret de leur succès ? Comment se passe la rencontre de ces deux mondes si différents ? Et avec quelles conséquences sur les droits de l’homme et l’environnement ? Pour répondre à ces questions, les auteurs ont parcouru quinze pays, sillonnant tout le continent à la rencontre de cette « Chinafrique », des forêts ratiboisées du Congo aux rivages venimeux du Nigeria, des sables militairement mouvants du Niger aux pipelines du Soudan, des souvenirs d’Egypte made in China aux restaurants gastronomiques de Douala, des campagnes misérables de la Chine à ce continent mystérieux qu’est l’Afrique pour les nouveaux aventuriers.

Résumé:
This book examines the relationship between migrants and cities in a time of massive urban restructuring. It provides a new approach to the study of migrant settlement and transnational connection in which cities rather than nation-states, ethnic groups, or transnational communities serve as the starting point for comparative analysis. Neither negating nor privileging the nation-state, Locating Migration provides ethnographic insights into the various ways in which migrants and specific cities together mutually constitute and contest the local, national, and global.
