Résumé:
Les écrits d'Aldo Rossi sont indissociables de son oeuvre graphique et architecturale. Cette autobiographie ne constitue pas un simple retour sur soi ou une abstraction théorique mais bien une création littéraire puisant dans l'imaginaire architectonique. Le dialogue qu'établit Rossi avec son propre passé et son travail, mêlant souvenirs d'enfance et réflexions philosophiques sur l'architecture, révèle ses principales, influences artistiques et littéraires, sa fascination pour la répétition, le collage, les transpositions ou son obsession pour le théâtre. L'écriture de Rossi est comme son architecture : nostalgique, austère, subtile et incisive à la fois, élégiaque.

Avec un prégnant lyrisme teinté de mélancolie, Sebald se remémore - et inscrit dans nos mémoires - la trajectoire de quatre personnages de sa connaissance que l'expatriation (ils sont pour la plupart juifs d'origine allemande ou lituanienne) aura conduits - silencieux, déracinés, fantomatiques - jusqu'au désespoir et à la mort. Mêlant investigation et réminiscence, Sebald effleure les souvenirs avec une empathie de romancier, une patience d'archiviste, une minutie de paysagiste, pour y découvrir le germe du présent. A la lisière des faits et de la littérature, son écriture est celle du temps retrouvé.

Résumé:
The photographs by Richard Misrach assembled in this volume are a stark, affecting reminders of the physical and psychological impact of Hurricane Katrina as told by those on the ground, and seen through the lens of a contemporary master. Rather than simply surveying the damage, Misrach-who has photographed the region regularly since the 1970s, most notably for his ongoing "Cancer Alley" project-found himself drawn to the hurricane-inspired graffiti. "Destroy This Memory" presents previously unpublished and starkly compelling material, all of which Misrach shot with his 4 MP pocket camera while also working on a separate archive of over 1,000 photographs with his 8 x 10 large-format camera. Created between October and December 2005, this series of images serves as a potent, unalloyed document of the raw experiences of those left to fend for themselves in the aftermath of Katrina. With no essay, titles or even page numbers in the way, the words on these homes, cars and trees offer a searing testament that continues to speak volumes.

Résumé:
Beneath the veneer of a very successful China that the world readily acknowledges, a quiet revolution is taking place within the realms of architecture and the city. The social, architectural and urban theories documented in this book are organized around the established canons of social actions – from mobilizing, laboring, resisting and mediating, to networking, controlling, rationalizing and aestheticizing. This book aims to put the social agenda squarely back in the rapid development of the built environment in China. This publication is the culmination of a three-year study of social issues in the architecture and cities of China. It involved visits to sites undergoing massive change, discussions and debates among architects and critics, reflections by practitioners about their own work, and activists lobbying for social change. Supported by the non-profit AA Asia, the edition of the contents relied heavily on original input and exchanges between architects and theorists committed to China, from Asia and beyond. Since the 1990s, AA Asia remains one of a few unique think tanks committed to the study of architecture and cities in Asia. As an advocacy with strong academic roots, it seeks to establish the differences across various postcolonial and Asian contexts, and recalibrate the role of architecture in a technocratic era dominated by the global economy.
