Résumé:
Cities around the world are striving to be global. This book tells the story of one of them, and in so doing raises questions which are essential for all cities. These questions concern identity, place, and political responsibility in the changing geographies of our times. The book also tells the story of the rise of a new class, of deepening inequality, and of the geographical imaginations that are mobilised to legitimate the increasing dominance of these powerful metropoles. In so doing, it sets the global city in its wider geographical and political context. World City focuses its account on London, one of the greatest of these global cities. London is a city of delight and of creativity, of the generation of vast wealth and of acute poverty. It also presides over a country increasingly divided between North and South and over a neo-liberal form of globalisation the deregulation, financialisation and commercialisation of all aspects of life that results in an evermore unequal world.World City explores how we can understand this complex narrative and asks a question that should be asked of any city: what does this place stand for? This book will appeal to students of human geography, politics and sociology as well as to the general reader.

Résumé:
A l'heure de la "mondialisation" et de la mobilité généralisée, alors même que les sociétés modernes ont tendance à occulter le contenu anthropologique de l'espace, comment rendre compte de la complexité des espaces vécus ? De la dimension culturelle des territoires ? Car la banalité des espaces ordinaires recouvre une dimension cosmologique : nos espaces quotidiens, à différentes échelles (domicile, quartier, ville, territoire), sont empreints de règles, obéissent à des conventions, répondent à des valeurs, le plus souvent implicites. La démarche de l'auteure pour répondre à ces interrogations s'ancre ici dans une réflexion sur les formes et les usages de l'espace dans différentes sociétés. Car si toutes partagent des "universaux", Fonder, Habiter, Classer et Distribuer, Transformer et Reformuler, pour autant, ces opérations communes se déclinent de diverses manières que l'ouvrage examine, montrant comment s'instaurent, aujourd'hui comme hier, ces liens entre espaces et sociétés. Ainsi, l'auteure analyse notamment la rencontre et le renforcement des rapports en France, après Mai 1968, entre sciences sociales, architecture et urbanisme. Destiné aux étudiants, chercheurs, professionnels opérant dans et sur l'espace, mais aussi aux citadins "ordinaires", ce travail leur apportera les outils indispensables à une appréhension globale de la problématique anthropologique des espaces.

Résumé:
Architecture is often thought to be a diary of a society, filled with symbolic representations of specific cultural moments. However, as Craig L. Wilkins observes, that diary includes far too few narratives of the diverse cultures in U.S. society. Wilkins states that the discipline of architecture has a resistance to African Americans at every level, from the startlingly small number of architecture students to the paltry number of registered architects in the United States today. Working to understand how ideologies are formed, transmitted, and embedded in the built environment, Wilkins deconstructs how the marginalization of African Americans is authorized within the field of architecture. He then outlines how activist forms of expression shape and sustain communities, fashioning an architectural theory around the site of environmental conflict constructed by hip-hop culture. Wilkins places his concerns in a historical context, and also offers practical solutions to address them. In doing so, he reveals new possibilities for an architecture that acknowledges its current shortcomings and replies to the needs of multicultural constituencies.

Résumé:
We surround ourselves with material things that are invested with memories but can only stand for what we have lost. Physical objects—such as one’s own body—situate and define us; yet at the same time they are fundamentally indifferent to us. The melancholy of this rift is a rich source of inspiration for artists. Peter Schwenger deftly weaves together philosophical and psychoanalytical theory with artistic practice. Concerned in part with the act of collecting, The Tears of Things is itself a collection of exemplary art objects—literary and cultural attempts to control and possess things—including paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe and René Magritte; sculpture by Louise Bourgeois and Marcel Duchamp; Joseph Cornell’s boxes; Edward Gorey’s graphic art; fiction by Virginia Woolf, Georges Perec, and Louise Erdrich; the hallucinatory encyclopedias of Jorge Luis Borges and Luigi Serafini; and the corpse photographs of Joel Peter Witkin. However, these representations of objects perpetually fall short of our aspirations. Schwenger examines what is left over—debris and waste—and asks what art can make of these. What emerges is not an art that reassembles but one that questions what it means to assemble in the first place. Contained in this catalog of waste is that ultimate still life, the cadaver, where the subject-object dichotomy receives its final ironic reconciliation. Peter Schwenger is professor of English at Mount St. Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is the author of Fantasm and Fiction: On Textual Envisioning, Letter Bomb: Nuclear Holocaust and the Exploding Word, and Phallic Critiques: Masculinity and Twentieth-Century Literature.

Ce n'est pas seulement l'architecture sacrée qui véhicule des symboles mais la plus simple demeure reflète aussi des archétypes qui proviennent de la tradition primordiale.

Il y a eu une transmission du savoir de constructeurs initiés, qui n'ont cessé, à travers des civilisations très éloignées, semble-t-il, les unes des autres, de rassembler ce qui était épars, qui nous vient encore de la nature et qui n'a pas été inventé par l'homme mais seulement réappris et réutilisé.

Résumé:
When it comes to determining the relative quality of architecture, who is best equipped to make the distinctions? Is it the public who lives in and among the buildings? The people who commission and pay for the buildings? Art historians? Or architects themselves? These provocative essays take up the questions of what people value in architecture and how changing values influence opinions about it. In the intriguing opening essay, Michael Benedikt makes an argument for the role of architects in the delineation of value in architecture. He discusses the differences between icon and canon, a theme threaded through many of the essays. In addition to unexpected analyses of buildings such as Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Paul Rudolph’s Art and Architecture Building at Yale University, and the work of Antoni Gaudí and Frank Gehry, the collection includes a clear-eyed look at the role of architecture in addressing social problems. Ultimately, these essays assert that judging architecture requires more than a refined sensibility. Buildings also need to be evaluated by their impact on the people living within and around them.

Pourquoi ce que notre environnement a à nous dire serait-il si important? Pourquoi les architectes devraient-ils se soucier de concevoir des bâtiments qui expriment des sentiments et des idées spécifiques? Pourquoi sommes-nous si vulnérables à ce que disent les espaces où nous vivons ? Depuis plusieurs livres déjà, Alain de Botton s'intéresse à notre bonheur et cherche les moyens de nous rendre plus heureux. Après la lecture de Proust, puis celle des grands philosophes, l'art de mieux voyager et l'importance de notre statut social, voici qu'il se penche sur notre cadre de vie et plus particulièrement sur l'architecture des lieux où nous vivons et travaillons. En quoi l'un et l'autre influencent notre mode de pensée, notre façon de nous comporter, en bref notre existence au quotidien, tel est le sujet de L'architecture du bonheur. Faisant preuve comme toujours d'une éblouissante érudition - et de beaucoup d'humour -, Alain de Botton nous entraîne de Paris à Tokyo, de Londres à Brasília, du Kent à l'Engadine, et bien d'autres lieux encore, à la recherche de la maison idéale.

Résumé:
Architecture and environmental design are among the last professional fields to develop a sustained and nuanced discussion concerning ethics. Hemmed in by politics and powerful clients on one side and the often unscrupulous practices of the construction industry on the other, environmental designers have been traditionally reluctant to address ethical issues head on.

Résumé:
Architecture and environmental design are among the last professional fields to develop a sustained and nuanced discussion concerning ethics. Hemmed in by politics and powerful clients on one side and the often unscrupulous practices of the construction industry on the other, environmental designers have been traditionally reluctant to address ethical issues head on. And yet the rapid urbanization of the world's population continues to swell into new megacities, each less healthy, welcoming, secure, or environmentally sustainable than the next. Green, carbon-reduced, and sustainable building practices are important ways architects have recently responded to the symptoms of the crisis, but are these efforts really addressing the core issues? Taking the Din� (Navajo) "Hogan Song"�a song used to protect and nourish the personhood of newly constructed dwellings�as their inspiration, the architects, philosophers, poets, and other contemporary scholars contributing to this volume demonstrate that a deeper, more radical change in our relationship to the built world needs to occur. While offering a careful critique of modernist, corporate, or techno-enthralled design practices, these essays investigate an alternative "relational ecology" whose wisdom draws from ancient and often-marginalized voices, if not the whisperings of the earth itself.
