Lors de la réoccupation des villes de Palestine au printemps 2002, l'armée israélienne a utilisé une tactique inédite: au lieu de progresser dans les rues tortueuses des vieux quartiers ou des camps de réfugiés, les soldats passaient de maison en maison, à travers murs et planchers, évitant ainsi de servir de cibles aux résistants palestiniens.

Résumé:
Lors de la réoccupation des villes de Palestine au printemps 2002, l'armée israélienne a utilisé une tactique inédite: au lieu de progresser dans les rues tortueuses des vieux quartiers ou des camps de réfugiés, les soldats passaient de maison en maison, à travers murs et planchers, évitant ainsi de servir de cibles aux résistants palestiniens. Cette méthode, "conceptualisée" sous le nom de "géométrie inversée" par des généraux qui aiment à citer Debord, Deleuze et Guattari ou Derrida, représente un tournant postmoderne dans la guerre des villes.

Résumé:
Catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition "Ottoman architecture of the 16th century: mosques of Sinan. Drawings by Augusto Romano Burelli and Paola Gennaro", september-november 2008, Frankfurt, Deutsches Architekturmuseum. The architect (1489-1588) was a master mosque builder who employed perfect proportions to create astonishing lightness in architecture--especially in his gravity-defying cupolas. He is renowned for having borrowed Roman and Byzantine techniques in order to create something new in mosque design--centralized organisms of absolute space, unhindered by pillars or columns. This beautifully illustrated volume, which features stunning reconstructed architectural renderings and diagrams, is the first to fully analyze his method.
