Résumé:
The illustrated book “Goodbye, Oil” explores how oil is produced and how we might lessen our dependence on this non-renewable resource. Harriet Russell’s story offers alternative modes of powering the vehicles we drive, making the goods we consume and heating our houses. The book adopts an unconventional perspective on energy and on the problems that may arise when we finally run out of oil, inviting readers of all ages to imagine their daily lives differently. “Goodbye, Oil” is an expanded edition of “An Endangered Species,” first published by Harriet Russell as an introduction to “Sorry, Out of Gas: Architecture’s Response to the 1973 Oil Crisis” (2007).

Tags: Libri per Bambini Illustrati Il petrolio, si sa, è una risorsa non rinnovabile. Ma da dove viene? Come si produce? E se dovesse finire? Ciao ciao petrolio è l’ultimo libro illustrato di Harriet Russell e presenta la questione del risparmio energetico e delle fonti rinnovabili al pubblico dei bambini. Dalla raccolta differenziata all’isolamento termico, dal riciclo alla riduzione dell’inquinamento; la Russell ci racconta che non è vero che non si può cambiare il mondo, perché ognuno nel suo piccolo può fare la differenza. Un modo per parlare anche ai più piccoli di sostenibilità e delle problematiche ambientali di oggi, in maniera semplice e ironica, per crescere generazioni più consapevoli che abbiano a cuore il destino di questo pianeta. Una precedente versione di questo racconto è stata pubblicata con il titolo "An endagered species" in Sorry, out of gas: Architecture's Response to the 1973 Oil Crisis – pubblicato da CCA e Corraini Edizioni nel 2007. destino di questo pianeta.

Résumé:
Before architectural postmodernism was named as such, the process of postmodernizing architecture had already begun implicating architectural work in the increasingly information-driven logic of the late twentieth century. Though radical, the effects of this process have long been excluded from the predominant histories of postmodernism, which continue to rely on notions of individual and creative genius, architectural autonomy, and stylistic genealogies. Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernization Effects places material devices, such as Pantone chips, research grant applications, questionnaires, Xerography, and travel photography, at the forefront of a counter-narrative that recasts these informatic procedures as fundamentally architectural and as the primary of catalysts of the loose agglomeration of styles that was once called postmodernism.

Résumé:
How do we design our cities when our most intimate experiences are incessantly tracked and our feelings become the base of new modes of production that prioritize the immaterial over the material? Since the 2008 financial crisis, lists of well-being indicators, happiness indexes, and quality-of-life rankings have become viral. Concurrently, the emotional data presented in these surveys- including perceptions on questions such as loneliness, friendship and intimate fears- feed an expanding political agenda of happiness and a new form of market whose most decisive asset is "affect." 'Our Happy Life' investigates the architectural implications of this trend by dissecting and questioning the political, economic, and emotional conditions that generate space today. Organized as a visual narrative with critical readings by Will Davies, Daniel Fujiwara, Simon Fujiwara, Ingo Niermann, Deane Simpson, and Mirko Zardini, this book reveals architecture, city, and landscape as contested surfaces, caught between the intagible guidelines of happiness indexes, the new marketplace of emotions, and the relentless ideology of positivity.

Résumé:
Comment concevoir la ville lorsque nos expériences les plus intimes sont constamment traquées et nos sentiments utilisés comme base à de nouveaux modes de production favorisant l’immatériel au détriment du matériel ? Depuis la crise financière de 2008, les listes d’indicateurs du bien-être et d’indices du bonheur, ainsi que les classements fondés sur la qualité de vie, circulent de manière virale. Parallèlement, les données émotionnelles présentées dans ces enquêtes, y compris les perceptions relatives aux notions de solitude, d’amitié et de peurs intimes, alimentent un agenda politique du bonheur en croissance et une nouvelle forme de marché dont l’atout le plus déterminant est l’« affect ». Nos jours heureux examine les implications architecturales de cette tendance en disséquant et en questionnant les conditions politiques, économiques et émotionnelles qui génèrent l’espace aujourd’hui. Structuré comme une narration visuelle – assortie de lectures critiques de William Davies, Daniel Fujiwara, Simon Fujiwara, Ingo Niermann, Deane Simpson et Mirko Zardini –, cet ouvrage présente l’architecture, la ville et le paysage comme des surfaces contestées, prises entre les lignes directrices intangibles des indices de bonheur, le nouveau marché des émotions et l’idéologie implacable de la positivité.

Résumé:
En 2019 nous avons publié le premier volume de « Le musée ne suffit pas », que nous avons conçue comme une plateforme de réflexion et de discussion sur certaines des des préoccupations qui définissent l’activité curatoriale du CCA (pourquoi et comment il fonctionne) et, par extension, le rôle des institutions culturelles vis-à-vis de la société. Affirmer que le musée ne suffit pas, c’est se demander ce qu’un musée devrait être et faire. Dans ce deuxième volume, la discussion se penche sur la manière dont l’institution élabore et traite ces questions en repensant les outils utilisés pour concevoir ses programmes et construire sa relation avec les différentes communautés et les différents publics. Cette réflexion est guidée par la conviction que l’activité du musée ne peut être construite à partir d’une position fixe. Ici, le musée sort de ses murs physiques, pour explorer sur place, pour parler avec les gens, pour connecter et activer les collaborations, pour concevoir des conditions permettant à différentes formes de dialogue de se produire sur le terrain.
