Résumé:
Au singulier, l'espace public désigne la sphère du débat politique, la publicité des opinions privées. Au pluriel, les espaces publics correspondent au réseau viaire, rues et boulevards, places et parvis, parcs et jardins, bref à toutes les voies de circulation ouvertes aux publics, dans les métropoles comme dans les villages urbanisés. Les deux relèvent de la communication. La mondialisation, la révolution communicationnelle, la vidéosurveillance, la multiplication des murs réels et virtuels «effacent » les espaces publics. L'urbanisation planétaire transforme leurs usages et les uniformise. Pourtant, des résistances se manifestent qui associent aux espaces publics, gratuits et accessibles, les trois qualités des villes : l'urbanité, la diversité et l'altérité.

Résumé:
Topotek 1 is one of Germany's internationally best-known landscape architecture firms. Rosemarie Trockel has made a name for herself through highly unconventional works that have been exhibited in New York, Chicago, at documenta Kassel, the Venice Biennale, and elsewhere. The new and extremely playful park in Munich is the result of a collaboration between them. It covers a three-hundred-meter section of railroad tracks and creates urgently needed open space for the neighborhood of Theresienhohe. In addition to the design, technically demanding questions like the approach to statics, acoustics, and traffic safety also needed to be solved. This monograph examines the new park design in a number of essays and documents the design and production process.

Résumé:
Voilà maintenant quarante ans que le graffiti moderne s'est emparé de nos métropoles. Tendance de l'art urbain, le sticker art a connu un développement récent tel qu'il supplante parfois le graffiti classique. Tout en introduisant une forme d'expression nouvelle, les autocollants et affiches, faciles et rapides à coller, permettent une diffusion sensiblement plus importante. Expliquer l'incroyable ascension du sticker art tout en retraçant de manière engageante une scène vaste et mouvante est l'une des premières ambitions de ce livre. C'est donc un échantillon de techniques et d'artistes qui est présenté ici, des pionniers tels Swoon, Shepard Fairey et Invader, jusqu'aux stars montantes.

Résumé:
Public spaces — where people from all walks of life play, work, meet, talk, read, think, debate, and protest — are vital to a healthy civic life. And, as the eminent scholar of public space Setha Low argues in this book, even fleeting moments of visibility and encounter in these spaces tend to foster a broader worldview and our willingness to accept difference. Yet we are losing public spaces to accelerated urban development and the belief that public spaces are expendable. Low explores why public spaces matter today, how they are at risk, and what we can do about protecting these essential places that support our everyday lives. Finally, she shows how we can work to promote public space protection and expansion at both the grassroots and global levels. Throughout, she focuses on real public spaces and the people who use them in cities and regions across the Americas, from New Jersey to Costa Rica

Résumé:
The way public spaces are designed reflects the period in which they were created. However, in our globalized world of experience and images the desire for uniqueness tends to achieve the opposite: increasingly, designers of open spaces resort to the same devices and thereby distance themselves from the urban context. The author analyzes ten outstanding contemporary designs of public spaces in Europe in terms of their function in the urban context and what materials are used for their implementation. In interviews with the designers she retraces the changes of the concepts during the design stage of the projects, underpinning her findings with numerous sketches. In addition, her research focuses on how the projects were received in the community. A topical introduction to the design of public spaces.

Résumé:
In this book, Edwin Heathcote looks at the cultural impact of street furniture using photography as a measure of how these things have become indispensable components of the cityscape. Based mainly in and on London – but including New York, Paris and Budapest – Heathcote uses history, personal reflection and the lenses of photographers to examine the status of these urban artefacts in both the contemporary imagination and the city streets themselves. It looks at the changing landscape of the cityscape and the way in which street furniture has been adapted to address new technologies, the culture of surveillance and shifts in taste, orthodoxy and material culture. On the Street looks at the language of street furniture reflected through the gaze of photography and contemporary culture. It is a book about the elements of the streetscape which can exert an increasing impact on our interaction with the cities we inhabit.
