Résumé:
In her acclaimed 1993 book ''Denying the Holocaust'', Deborah Lipstadt called putative WWII historian David Irving "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial." A prolific author of books on Nazi Germany who has claimed that more people died in Ted Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than in the gas chambers at Auschwitz, Irving responded by filing a libel lawsuit in the United Kingdom -- where the burden of proof lies on the defendant, not on the plaintiff. At stake were not only the reputations of two historians but the record of history itself.

Résumé:
From January to April 2000 historian David Irving brought a high-profile libel case against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt in the British High Court, charging that Lipstadt’s book, ''Denying the Holocaust'' (1993), falsely labeled him a Holocaust denier. The question about the evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a central role in these proceedings. In connection with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural historian Robert Jan van Pelt to present evidence for our knowledge that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers. Employing painstaking historical scholarship, van Pelt prepared and submitted an exhaustive forensic report that he successfully defended in cross-examination in court.

Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955) is one of a generation of photographers who seek to portray the visible outcomes of a globalized economy and humankind’s impact on environments around the world. He has achieved global recognition with his large-scale photographs and project-based monographs, such as Quarries, Oil, and Water, all of which have resulted in popular touring exhibitions and, in the case of Water, a feature-length documentary film entitled Watermark. However, while Burtynsky’s global standing is without question, no comprehensive retrospective of his career to date exists.

Résumé:
What is architectural form? What does architectural form mean? And why is it so significant today? Despite the historical signi?cance of form in architecture, the subject is frequently undervalued in debate. The publication The Form of Form examines a variety of ideas regarding form, not only through aesthetic and technological approaches, but also from social and political points of view. "The form of form" is the official publication of the same-named 4th Lisbon Architecture Triennale. The content of the book underlines the cultural and technical relevance of architecture within society. It aims to foster new thoughts as we reach the dawn of a rapidly changing society driven by fast access to information. After all the tensions and frictions that happen during the physical and social transformations of our cities and landscapes, when all the fuss is over and the different agents who contributed to change have left the field of play, what is left is a built form. Citizens live among forms; architectural forms have endured from the past and they will populate the future.

Résumé:
«Pour Aldo Rossi l’architecture se déploie comme un rite: les signes architecturaux qui se répètent, les différents types qui sont repris d’un projet à l’autre, reproduisent la corporalité qui est à leur origine. Dans ce rituel, le monde des sensations et des impulsions obscures que la rationalité moderne avait rejeté refont surface de manière inattendue. À travers l’identification de l’architecture au corps animal ou humain, le désir qui était mis à l’écart de toute création est réintroduit dans l’architecture. Il s’agit d’un désir latent, inquiet de sa propre mort, un désir qui ne saurait s’exprimer autrement qu’à travers la répétition d’une typologie architecturale invariable. Parler de suspens en architecture revient ainsi, dans un premier temps, à évoquer un état de figement dont la finalité serait d’accéder à une temporalité anhistorique où la fixité domine. Toutefois, parler de suspens c’est aussi suggérer qu’il existe une attente et une latence au sein de cette fixité. C’est dire que le temps du suspens est corporel et inquiet.» Nous entraînant dans une enquête subtile qui traverse les écrits, projets et dessins réalisés entre 1959 et 1982 par l’architecte italien, l’ouvrage de Can Onaner permet de dévoiler sous un jour nouveau les notions et thèmes fondamentaux de l’œuvre d’Aldo Rossi: le type, la répétition, la permanence. Mais aussi de fonder le concept de suspens comme une nouvelle approche théorique de l’architecture, emblème de tout projet architectural inquiet de sa pérennité et mythe nécessaire, sinon fondateur, de toute urbanité.
