The authors offer five characteristics of the Extreme Present; invent a glossary of new words to describe how we are truly feeling today; and ‘mindsource’ images and illustrations from over 30 contemporary artists.

Résumé:
Cities, estates and routing systems develop, change constantly and fundamentally cannot be planned. Claims to ownership, land and building regulations, planning decisions and political interventions make it difficult for settlement structures to adapt to constantly changing requirements to such an extent that meaningful and totally ecological use of the surface of the earth is becoming increasingly difficult, although new techniques and flexible planning models mean that a connection could be found with the self-designing processes of urban-development history.

Una città in forma di palazzo : dans le dernier tiers du Quattrocento, à Urbino, Mantoue ou Milan, des princes voulurent faire de leur résidence des cités idéales, à l’écart de la ville mais s’imposant à elle, l’ordonnant. Ils suivaient en cela la leçon d’Alberti, qui avait fait de son De re aedificatoria un traité non pas de l’art de bâtir, mais de sa politisation. Car(...)

Résumé:
Una città in forma di palazzo : dans le dernier tiers du Quattrocento, à Urbino, Mantoue ou Milan, des princes voulurent faire de leur résidence des cités idéales, à l’écart de la ville mais s’imposant à elle, l’ordonnant. Ils suivaient en cela la leçon d’Alberti, qui avait fait de son De re aedificatoria un traité non pas de l’art de bâtir, mais de sa politisation. Car l’architecture humaniste devenait un art de la persuasion. Elle était chargée d’exprimer ce que les mots n’osaient pas encore dire : l’absolutisation du pouvoir princier. Ce petit livre confronte cette folle ambition au déniaisement machiavélien, rappelant que s’il existe un langage architectural, alors celui-ci ménage aussi des non-dits, suscite des incompréhensions, trahit des lapsus.

Résumé:
What is it about ruins that are so alluring, so puzzling, that they can hold some of us in endless wonder over the half-erased story they tell? In this elegant book, Robert Harbison explores the captivating hold these remains and broken pieces—from architecture, art, and literature—have on us. He guides us through ruins and fragments, both ancient and modern, visual and textual, showing us how they are crucial to understanding our current mindset and how we arrived here. First looking at ancient fragments, he examines the ways we have recovered, restored, and exhibited them as artworks. Then he moves on to modernist architecture and the ways that it seeks a fragmentary form, examining modern projects that have been designed into existing ruins, such as the Castelvecchio in Verona, Italy and the reconstruction of the Neues Museum in Berlin. From there he explores literature and the works of T. S. Eliot, Montaigne, Coleridge, Joyce, and Sterne, and how they have used fragments as the foundation for creating new work.

Résumé:
The "Precisions", as the book is commonly known, emerged from a spontaneous and exuberant series of 10 lectures Le Corbusier gave in Buenos Aires in 1929, reflecting a new maturity in his thinking. They contain some of his most compelling aphorisms, covering technique as the basis of architecture, the human scale in design, furniture, the private house, apartments and office buildings, the city, the League of Nations competition, teaching architecture. As he spoke, Le Corbusier improvised colour drawings on large sheets of paper. The drawings and lectures are unique in their eloquent and concise summary of his philosophy of architecture and urban design, stating the principles that informed his work from the 1920s on.
