Résumé:
The walls of the Reichstag are covered with graffiti, written by victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945. Hidden for 30 years, the Reichstag graffiti were rediscovered by Norman Foster and his team when they began work on the building in 1995. They were preserved as part of Foster’s concept of the Reichstag as a ‘living museum’ of German history. Published at a time when the graffiti are threatened with eradication, this book offers an important visual and literary record. Deborah Lipstadt considers the arguments for and against the preservation of the graffiti: is the preservation, as some charge, "morally offensive" and "masochistic" or does it indicate a brave determination not to forget the tragedies of the past? And what does it mean and say about Germany today? Frederick Baker considers the graffiti as a monument to the individual and offers an historical account of the Battle of Berlin through the eyes of Red Army soldiers as they approached their ultimate goal, including the soldier who first raised the Red Flag above the Reichstag. This illustrated volume allows the inscriptions to be made accessible and understandable to a wider public for the first time.

Résumé:
What is required to renew and articulate public spaces? The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.

Résumé:
This new book by Labics, one of Italy’s leading architectural firms, is devoted to the country’s architecture of public space. Squares, galleries, loggias, porticoes, and courtyards are the elements that characterize Italy’s historic towns and cities—and that make the experience of these public spaces intense and attractive. Labics sets out to explore these enchanting spaces, to analyze their history and typologies, and to document and describe them through newly produced photographs, plans, and diagrams. They offer a taxonomy of solutions that, as a whole, forms a timeless theory for the design of public spaces. ''The architecture of public ppace'' forms a captivating collection of image material that visually decodes the characteristic core elements of Italian architecture and specifies their role in the definition of public space. The volume highlights the architectural solutions from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries that produce the particular spatial quality of these urban structures and sets out how they were originally established for and are continuing to be used by the people.

Résumé:
Ce guide décolonial nous emmène à l'est de Paris visiter un véritable « triangle colonial » , composé de trois monuments qui offrent un condensé de l'histoire culturelle, économique, raciale et politique de la France. On y croisera une colossale fresque mettant en scène le travail forcé dans les colonies, un monument qui fait régulièrement l'objet d'actions anti-colonialistes, et une statue d'Athéna représentant « La France apportant la paix et la prospérité aux colonies » . Posant les bases d'une pédagogie critique explorée par le collectif Décoloniser Les Arts (DLA), cet ouvrage revient sur les débats et les luttes menées à travers le monde autour de statues, célébrant esclavagistes et colonialistes, « au pied desquelles le pouvoir dépose des gerbes de fleurs ». Accompagné d'une sélection d'images d'archives et ponctué par les interventions visuelles de l'artiste Seumboy Vrainom : ?.

Résumé:
Une rue de Paris, à l'origine banale, appelée rue GG. L'association Arrgg, créée par des voisins, se donne pour objectif que l'ambiance locale s'en trouve améliorée. Un drôle d'urbaniste, le dénommé John Mill, accompagne le changement. La rue rendue piétonne est peu à peu plantée à même la chaussée. On organise des fêtes ouvertes à tout le monde, où se mêlent gens du cru ? habitants et coiffeurs d'origine africaine ? et les passants bien sûr... Un conte de fées urbain? Plutôt un vaudeville à la limite parfois d'être une tragédie. Car un porche se révèle très vite un des acteurs, accueillant peu à peu SDF en surnombre puis vagues de migrants. C'est cette histoire vécue d'une transformation que raconte cet ouvrage, un récit passionné des moments d'enthousiasme et des écueils surmontés.

Résumé:
There are no perfect public spaces. Public space is constantly changing, shifting, never quite fixed. It is formed by laws, by regulations, by private ownership, and by city management. Public spaces are influenced both by the people who oversee them and by those who use them. And because of these facts, public spaces are never neutral. In "ublic Spaces, NY," Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample document and analyze Manhattan’s parks, streets, community gardens, privately owned public spaces, recreation areas, waterfronts, and cemeteries. Their book seeks to understand their design, construction and management, and provides detailed drawings of both the spaces themselves and speculative illustrations about how the public uses the spaces. By examining how public spaces facilitate or hinder inclusion, and by detailing the conflicts and negotiations they provoke, this book creates a discourse to reimagine the future of public life in the United States’ densest city.

Résumé:
''Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory'' reflects on the first decade of the international Concéntrico festival and the one hundred and fifty projects and designs commissioned for it. The festival’s aim is to serve as a laboratory searching for creative ways of using architecture and design to strengthen communities and to support the dialogue between designers and citizens. The book offers a unique meditation on the transformation of cities and the relevance of architecture and design in the twenty-first century. It introduces meaningful ways to address and engage with pressing urban issues—from identity and heritage to temporariness, collectivity, ecology, play, and domesticity—through the lens of selected Concéntrico commissions since 2015. Through lavishly illustrated essays, it features projects by eighty artists, architects, and designers from twenty countries. They are prefaced and held together by a conversation between the editors Javier Peña Ibáñez and Nick Axel, who speak about the festival’s context, evolution, and the knowledge it has produced since 2014.

Résumé:
« Trottoir » est un mot si courant que même les tout-petits enfants savent ce qu'il désigne et la plupart des habitants des villes marchent dessus plusieurs fois par jour. Pourtant, le trottoir existe à peine d'un point de vue juridique, les urbanistes lui préfèrent la notion d'» espace public », moins associée à la prostitution et à la vie dans la rue, et les « rez-de-chaussée », qui sont le plus souvent des « rez-de-trottoir », effacent jusqu'à son nom. Il est aujourd'hui urgent de reconnaître toute la valeur de cet espace qui se raréfie sous l'effet des transitions numérique et écologique. Il est par exemple de plus en plus convoité par les opérateurs de trottinettes électriques, livreurs de colis, fontaines rafraichissantes, points de collecte de déchets, etc., tandis qu'il reste indispensable pour les piétons et les riverains. Entre public et privé, entre marchant et marchand, le trottoir cristallise les principaux changements à l'oeuvre dans la ville, et les « batailles du trottoir » qui se multiplient sont plus largement l'écho des débats sur le futur des villes.

Résumé:
Urban Toys chronicles Nadim Karam and Atelier Hapsitus’s recent creations of relief and rebellion in the city. Working out of Beirut, they make their own rules for urban art with work that is, in the words of Peter Cook, “unnervingly original.” Projects include groundbreaking work in post-war Beirut and post-Communist Prague, sculptures for the sidewalks of London and Tokyo, a poetic project in Todaiji temple in Nara, and the Sandridge Bridge project on the Yarra River for the opening of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006. Their work in the creation of “dream pockets” has grown in importance, given the increasing number of cities that have to add violence and terror to the pressures of urban life.
